A Brief Update

Cold: Yep, still there. Thought it was going yesterday, then woke up to a nice fresh bout of coughing up internal organs this morning. Fun! Work: Still unemployed. I suppose I should be grateful that I’m not fighting through this nonsense while working, but the financial and boredom situations are both getting a bit concerning. ...

What’s Up, Doc?

Two bits of interest from my annual physical this morning. First of all, I’ve grown an inch. I’ve never measured above 5’4″, and often called myself 5’4″ on a good day. For some reason, today, I measured 5’5″ even. Not that I’m complaining, particularly since this height change knocks a solid point off my BMI. ...

Okay, Lungs, Very Funny

It’s real amusing that you’re trying to escape my chest, but making me cough so much I lose my voice is not fuckin’ cool. And making me whip suddenly between restlessly full of energy and narcoleptically exhausted is not helping, either. I guarantee you that I will start feeling better approximately the same time friday ...

Thanks for waiting until I was in Vegas last night to completely collapse on me. It allowed me to enjoy the vast majority of my vacation without feeling like I was going to cough up a lung. Made the drive back to L.A. this morning a little miserable, but at least I had a box ...

As I go through and update the dates and times that got fucked up in the Blogger-to-Wordpress transition, I’m glancing through my old posts and occasionally coming across things that seem really funny in retrospect. Particularly given that I’ll be driving to Vegas tomorrow and will consider any gas price below $4 a gallon a ...

I’ll be stopping in Vegas again tomorrow night, and staying at…The Hooters Casino Hotel. Hilarity will doubtlessly ensue.

I went fishing with my dad today, and he did really well. He caught five fish: two HUGE cutthroat trout, two good-sized rainbows, and a pretty decent-sized brook trout. I, on the other hand…I hooked one fish myself. Well, hooked might not be the right word. I had a little rainbow that was maybe five ...

I went horseback riding today with my camera, the pictures that were not completely blurry are now up on Flickr. Western-style riding is ideal for this, since you only need to keep one hand on the reins at all times, instead of both (as you do when you ride English-style). However, it is not ideal ...

This is a test to see if my signature from my Mobile Posting Unit shows up as part of the post or if WordPress automatically strips it. Let’s find out! The preceding message was (mis)typed on a Crackberry. Update: Hm, that’ll make things a bit obvious, won’t it? Updated Update: Aha! This is why I ...
