Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They need those big screens so that they can see four tweets at a time.

That's what it takes to handle the truthiness.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Oof, I just found out that a pretty good friend of mine from high school died in 2006. Obviously, we weren't close after graduation, but I have very fond memories of him, and honestly believe he was a great guy. I'm trying to figure out WTF happened (he died on the 4th of July) and I can't find any obits through Legacy.com... and I guess there was a tribute website set up at firstname-lastname @ memory-of (dot) com but the whole memory-of.com site seems to be down, and I really, really, want to find out what happened.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Coding and Sleeping

Soon someone will be spotted playing Galaga.

Which will lead to a story about giant insects from space attacking the Earth and how Obamacare is the reason.

I've spent the afternoon learning how much Photoshop I've actually forgotten. Ack!

Now tagless for your comfort.

I just had to go on the offensive for a local mom who posted, "what are the pros and cons of vaccination?" Pros: not dying from a preventable disease. Cons: none.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Nora, I'm still trying to figure out what happened to my co-worker last week. I have googled and googled and asked my boss and so far nothing. Her funeral is set for late in the month, I couldn't tell from the announcement if we are invited or not.

I'll be in the office tomorrow, so maybe I'll get a better understanding then.

Amy, my friend Jon writes bar trivia--he charges $20 for a set of 20 questions.

I hate the non-confrontational people that respond:"do your own research and make the best decision for your family." Fuck that! Having access to the internet does not make you a researcher. Vaccinate!
