Eeeeeheheehehehehhhehhe

At lunch I picked up some Comtrex (that’s all, nothing else) for my symptoms. Only problem with that is that the pseudephedrine in it totally tweaks me out. So now I’m going to be rattling through the afternoon like a crack baby after a few shots of espresso. I don’t understand how [...]

Weekend wrapup

Good weekend, overall. Nothing too exciting happened Friday night, except I went to happy hour with some coworkers at Kaya. Some belgian white was drunk, and probably some inappropriate comments were made. All in all, a fun night.
Saturday was an alleycat race around Pittsburgh. An alleycat, for those of you who [...]

‘Cause I’m the taxman… yeah-a, the taxmaaaaann

FYI, if anyone ever offers you consulting work, turn it down. Something as harmless as $5k worth of work can turn an $1100 refund into a $1700 tax bill. Ouch! I couldn’t quite believe it myself, but 33% income and 15% social security can pretty much ruin your day.
Good thing the IRS [...]

There is a principle in Taoism called wu [...]

Flux

Quiet night at home tonight. I should be doing low-priority moving things, like packing up that last box of books, or figuring our which other hideous items in my closet can safely go to Goodwill, but not really motivated at all tonight. Instead, I continued to fight my losing battle against laundry with [...]

*Meow*

That’s the sound of a cat coming out of a bag. It’s official at work, so time to start talking about it here; I’m moving to Colorado in about a month! How cool is that?!
Now I can start writing about all the fun details that you have to go through when planning [...]

Tired of my bathroom sink draining so slowly I decided to pull out the little plug thing in the drain and have a look at what was going on. The drain plug and drain itself were completely covered in some organic material, actual composition unknown. There were little bits of hair and stuff, [...]
