Did it go a little something like this? I have to say, they got the perfect announcer voice for that. The list of side effects is also great. Courtesy Dave Barry’s Blog.

I was a bit busy to post about this in the last week or so, partly because I went to various doctors about five times on top of everything else that’s been going on. So now, I’ve finally come to a decision: They’re sticking me in a cast and on crutches for three weeks to ...

My voice is totally gone right now, but notwithstanding that, I can’t even tell you how happy I am. Party: Done, and seemed to be enjoyed. Gift: Done, and seemed to be enjoyed. Filming….uh, not so done, but hopefully done by the end of the week. But party and gift, done! Woo Hoo! *passes out*

One mind, poor condition (approximately three functioning brain cells remaining at time of loss). If found, please return to me circa 6pm today/yesterday. Would have been of significant help. Willing to trade for functioning right left leg. Edit, Sunday night – Here’s how nuts I was when I wrote this: I asked for the wrong ...

I see this idiot’s Hummer every day on the Fox Lot, and I got sorely tempted to post some pictures here but wasn’t sure whether that’d violate some sort of lot rule. Thank you, Defamer, for posting that picture so I don’t have to. Now I can focus on noting that this tool has that ...

It was officially corrupted data, so I had to erase my hard drive. Boo. But thanks to Super Duper, I was able to get back to where I was on Thursday when my last automatic backup ran. And it took about 3 seconds to redownload the email I’d received since then, and I hadn’t done ...

I love it when my computer chooses one of the busiest weekends of the year to crash rather spectacularly, necessitating at the least a trip to the “Genius” Bar at the Apple store, and given what it’s doing and what it hasn’t responded to, rather likely a wipe and restore of the hard drive. God ...

I know you prize your ’89 Nissan, but when moderate rain sets off the alarm repeatedly, you’ve made it too sensitive.
