I've decided that what I do best in all the world is burn bridges.
Unfortunately, that's not such a great thing. :sigh:

Happy 200th birthday, Mr. Darwin!

In response to comments: the Church of England actually did apologize to Darwin recently.

Charles Darwin: 200 years from your birth, the Church of England owes you an apology for misunderstanding you and, by getting our first reaction wrong, encouraging others to misunderstand you still.
Also, please feel free to turn my blog into some sort of Speakers'...

Sure, we'll go with that.
Need new bookshelves and a place to put my A/V equipment. Going to Hell (i.e., IKEA). If you don't hear from me for a few days, it's because something horrible happened to me.

I've returned, mostly sane. I'm quickly losing my remaining sanity, however; I hate running speaker wire under the best of circumstances. However, since I decided to get new bookshelves, I now...

Have I mentioned that I want to run away and raise goats? And donkeys. Maybe some chickens.
I think it would be much more satisfying than rabbitting my life away in Corporate America.
But first I must rabbit in Corporate America in order to get the money to buy a place to raise goats, donkeys, and chickens. There's always a catch, isn't there?
Anyway, that's...

Update: In the course of my plumbing project, I broke my electricity. My power saw blew a fuse. Except not really, because I replaced the fuse and there's still no 'lectricity. Maybe I destroyed the outlet? Either way, I'm not going to mess with it. I'm going to let a professional risk his life meddling with the evil spirits that live in the wires in...

What is going on with all this plumbing? Are you remodeling a house? I'm out of the loop x10.

Wow. Way to go.
About six months ago I stopped talking to one of my oldest friends when she announced she'd be getting married. It had been my plan for years; I like to be prepared. I know myself, and have always known that her getting married would create an emotional crisis I just couldn't deal with.
Mainly because I've been in love with her myself for ten years....

yes but are your polos 10 sizes too large?

Of course! Like weeks ago! I thought I told you that, but I guess I didn't. It was awesome! I totally loved it.
Ah, what a wonderful Christmas. My aunt is being a pain in the ass. She's mad at my grandfather (her father); she refused to help decorate the tree a couple weeks ago, she refused to help fix dinner, she showed up just before dinner when we were setting the table, questioned our use of the good porcelain and silver, and was otherwise what I consider...

I would ask your aunt if she has any thoughts about your taking the job for her. You know, since you have all of the equipment and capabilities to do so. (Then punch her in the face for good measure.)
Also, you reminded me I no longer have a nice camera. Damn you. DAMN YOU!!! Meh. I've been waiting this long, I suppose it won't kill me to wait another couple of months until I can afford a proper one again.
I bought a Fujifilm Finepix just to have something, and it sucks Hillary Clinton cock. If I knew then...

How were your holidays!?

It's cold. The high temperature today was about -2 degrees Fahrenheit. That probably doesn't mean a lot to many of you; being from warm climates, you have no experience with which to judge such a temperature. But take my word for it; it's cold.
Not the coldest I've ever experienced; that would be approximately -60 degrees Fahrenheit in 1996. Air temperature, not windchill.
It's not...

Thanks for the well wishes, but I am not really agonizing about replies. I am not even obsessively checking to make sure they got all my additional materials. Finishing applying was a big accomplishment for me, and I am just going to be proud of that for now...
Also, they really, really, really need to fix the punctuation glitch.

I am on page 689. I was just excited last night when I read the Ringing Vale scene in Mahsht. It was awesome.
I'm bored. Not my usual level of boredom. I'm even bored with the CE board; I keep getting bogged down in trivialities that I really couldn't care less about. It's hurting my hard-earned credibility or something.
And apparently people have a number of misconceptions about me. If you've ever thought any of the following about be, please allow me to set you straight.

Ikea can make you grow a penis if you don't have one.

Yes... but it comes with all the proper tools and instructions.
The last installment of TNT's Librarian series airs tonight. The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice. I like the series, and since it's thirteen degrees and snowing outside, what else is there to do? But I'd probably stay in and watch it regardless.
I'm amazed at the high production quality of some of the new made-for-TV movies. In addition to the above, the Sci-Fi...

I absolutely took your suggestion to heart. You knew what you were talking about, and I saw it when I read it. If I owned an argyle, I probably would have warn it!

I hate winter. I'm feeling blah. Of course, I always feel blah, but winter is bad. Oddly, spring is even worse, so I have great times to look forward to.
So, someone say something interesting. Or at least mildly amusing. I'd appreciate it.
Enough self-pity for now. Perhaps I'll go find my drugs.
I'm still considering the business thing. I think I've joked before how...

I was waiting for someone to talk about the beer boobs!
And another thing that backs my "the Rev was sick" idea... no sermons. When I saw him in NY he gave the equivalent of Drunk Guy a long lecture. Nothing like that in the D.

I'm thinking of starting my own business. Manufacturing and retailing computers and computer components, accessories, etc.
However, it's a big consideration. Can I compete with the large retailers? I think I might be able to, by providing the type of machines that they don't offer. And by offering improved service.
But still. Where does one get the money for such an endeavor? What sort of...

The best way to give a rejection to a girl you are not interested in: No thank you.
The best way to reject a girl you're not sure about yet: I'm ok for now, but please come back and check on me later.
