Feelin like Ass
I feel like ass today. I’m not sure if it is tiredness or illness, but I’ve decided to just throw in the towel and crawl back to bed. More updates when I awaken again.

Dogs in Elk
From a while ago, but I was just pointed at this classic sets of posts about… well… dogs in elk.

A misspent youth
Google now has the past 20 years of usenet online. The oldest post of mine I can find is from 1989, but I know I was reading it for a while before posting. I remembered being scared to post because people were much more ruthless back then.

Anyways, for those of you were on way back when, check out Google Groups.

Stuffed Goodness
I want to get a stuffed Totoro. They actually have them at Tokyo Kid, and I keep thinking of getting one. I think it would go great with my Ryo-Ohki (Though mine isn’t as cool as that one, it doesn’t have the gem on it that lights up. damn.).

Now someone just needs to sell a stuffed Tama from Love Hina and they can all sit on top of my computer.

Paypal
I was talking to some friends online and they were talking about how PayPal sucks. I had only really used them for three things and hadn’t had any real problems with it. They pointed me at Paypal Warning, a site which documents problems a number of people have had with them. I think what I found disturbing was the thought that paypal is looking at what you are using their services for and selectively policing (and not intelligently either).

Things that make me smile
I’ve been DJing for a few years now, and in that time I’ve put out a few CDs. The other day an acquaintance of mine IM’d me with something that just made my day (week, and month) (screen name changed to protect the innocent :)):

mt: hey! quick note no time to chat, but…
mt: the other night i was biking from an tua nua and i asked blake if he had a good, fast cd i could borrow for the ride home, and he lent me your ‘spring’ cd
mt: which completely saved me, as it made me bike oh so fast, gave me much inspiration….
mt: i enjoyed it soo much that i actually biked from beacon street home to JP, and then thought “i am not done yet…hmm, where shall i go?” (listening to the CD all the while of course 😉 so decided to bike to the mass ave bridge, and then around here and there, and i made it home at 4 am, so i wanted to say ‘thanks’ for providing me with such a good cd, i am listening to it today as well…(i think i catually have a copy of ‘spring’ however i am weird with cds, a lot of times i am not into it initially but then the next time i check it out i think “hey why haven’t i listened to this before?!?!?!” so anyways thx a bunch, hasta luego….:-)

I don’t wanna grow up
I wanna just be a kid. I don’t wanna go to work today. I’m already going to be a bit late. I just don’t feel motivated. I’m tired, cranky, and not in the mood to be troubleshooting. I think I’ll plan out my vacation schedule today. And I think at least one day off should be included this week. That way I can finish up my Christmas shopping.

And while I’m whining I just want to add that I hate it when the air gets so dry. I feel like I just spend my whole life drinking water. Right now I feel like a dry sponge.

Puppets are cool!
I wish I was a kid again sometime. Manhattan Toys has some of the funkiest hand puppets I’ve seen. My favorite I think is Morphing Marty (there’s a Morphing Maggie also).

Work day from hell
Work is hell today. So not many responses. I feel bad, my on call employee was being paged about once an hour all weekend. So I’ve been trying to track down problems since I got in this morning.
