Anyone signed to Eyeball Records. I am biased on this subject, but I’m still right.
I want:
to be on ski patrol. I should find a way to do that. I used to reallllllly want to be an EMT, but I love skiing, so this seems like the perfect marriage of the two…
Haven't been online in SO long..
Just finished reading Twilight, was actually pretty good. I’m about to start New Moon, also.
Spent the night at Kael’s last night, riding out the storm whilst playing Catch Phrase with her, her fourteen year old brother, Ky, and his little friend Jesse. I rule at Catch Phrase, let me tell you…
I feel like shit again though, but this time, I have a fever, body aches, and stomach...

This will be Apple’s last year at Macworld, and Phil Schiller is delivering the keynote instead of Steve Jobs.
This is bad news, and is the most clear sign yet that Steve Jobs’ retirement is probably coming within 0-2 years. The company will survive, but I think it’ll be a rocky transition both internally and externally.
OMG MICRO$OFT NOT AT...

Further proof of my geekiness:
If Dr. Seuss were a Technical Writer
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort. And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!
If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, And the doubleclicking icon puts your window in the trash, And your data is corrupted...

How much longer?
My dad used to wake up early and go to bed late, just to write. He has books upon books of journals, documenting everything. But peripheral polyneuropathy has rendered his hands incapable of typing, or writing legibly. His extremities feel nothing, except harsh pain, 24 hours a day.
My dad used to run miles everyday. He participated in triathlons for fun. Now, thanks to neuropathy, he can’t...
Dad
Lately, my dad has not been doing well. We got in a fight today. We also got in a fight a couple days ago. This seems to be a pretty regular occurrence now.
It takes him nearly two hours just to shower. Our house is not a home anymore — It’s a frame with insulation and ten thousand piles of nothing that my dad can’t live without. He has no grip on time anymore, and still thinks...
