I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Got another 5 inches of snow here overnight.

It would almost be pretty if it wasn't so fucking cold.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I hate parentheses in code.

Programming code? Do you dislike functions?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Programming code? Do you dislike functions?

Yeah, sarameg is totally into GOSUB and GOTO and global variables....

So excited and happy today. I'm pleased to report that the BPAL Beaver Moon has beaten my weltschmerz into submission.

There is snow on the low mountains. I had Porto's for breakfast. Today is the last full day of work before a 3 week break. An acquaintances adoption paperwork is all approved and she is getting ready to go to Vietnam to meet her son for the first time. I'm seeing Alibelle for dinner at Ikea.

Seriously? It's such a good day that the coworker who snaked my parking space and then tried to write it off with a wave didn't even phase me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, sarameg is totally into GOSUB and GOTO and global variables....

sarameg considered harmful!

Punishingly Intricate

Yay Emily Flake in TIME! She's never not funny to me!

We're having a potluck here today and I met a friend for breakfast (in town from Hawaii for, like, 5 minutes for the holidays) so I was late getting here. Maybe I'll get a leeetle work done but probably not much. oh well!

Kat, what's a Beaver Moon smell like?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Yesterday the Post ran their food section, including Christmas dinner menus. One involved cooking a pot roast in EIGHT POUNDS (!!!) of butter.

Was this for Christmas with convicts on Death Row, or just a family gathering with relatives you really, really never want to spend another Christmas with?
