What the bloody hell? That's the second time my LJ style has gone *poof*. Crap – and this time it lost my customizations. At least it didn't lose my links. Grr. It's still not right, but it'll do.

Trying a new schedule this week – four 10 hour days w/ 3 days off. I think it'll work well, seeing as how I'm usually there 9 hours anyway. Been watching .hack//sign – talk about a mind f*ck. I love it. And some memeage: bold the states you've been to, underline the states you've lived in and italicize the state you're in now… Alabama / Alaska / Arizona / Arkansas / California / Colorado / Connecticut / Delaware / Florida / Georgia / Hawaii / Idaho / Illinois / Indiana / Iowa / Kansas / Kentucky / Louisiana / Maine…

This is the first sunny weekend we've had here in Austin in seven weeks. By a happy coincidence it was the opening weekend of Excalibur – a ren/fantasy faire somewhat near Austin. We're skipping Scarborough on our anniversary this year due to last year's Unpleasantness, and we most likely won't get to TRF this year, so this little ren faire is our only ren fix. It was pretty good. Small, but fun. The wind in the trees above the main stage was so loud, we really had trouble hearing the acts. But, it was a fun way to spend a…

Grf. Need to get a shower and get moving. Instead, I'll do a meme. Statements in bold are true: I've Never Smoked Pot I've Never Kissed A Member Of The Opposite Sex I've Never Kissed A Member Of The Same Sex I've Never Crashed A Friend's Car I've Never Been To Japan I've Never Been In A Taxi I've Never Been In Love I've Never Had Sex In Public I've Never Been Dumped I've Never Done Cocaine I've Never Shoplifted I've Never Been Fired Yet I've Never Been In A Fist Fight I've Never Had Group Sex I've Never Snuck…

Well, I've been meaning to post more lately. I compose posts (about nothing in particular, really) in my head, but they never make it to the computer. You'd think between Sally (my mp3 player that will voice record), my Palm, my work pc, or even actual paper I'd be able to jot something down. But no, it's all in my head and I always get dist… ooh, look, shiny! So now, it's 11pm, I feel human again (the flu SUCKS this year) and though I really should be in bed now I'll do this post. My birthday was fantastic. My…

I love my job.

Gilmore is asking just how much citizens are giving up when they hand their driver's licenses to a third party, in this case an airline, where it is put into a database they cannot see, to meet a law that, as it turns out, they are not allowed to read. Gilmore will show ID for an international flight because he doesn't expect to set the rules for other nations. “I will show a passport to travel internationally. I'm not willing to show a passport to travel in my own country,” Gilmore said. “I used to laugh at countries that had…

If you can afford to send out unsolicited personalized sticker mailing labels, notepads, etc., then I can't really trust that my money will go to support the cause, now can I? Kthxbye.

I'm not dead yet! Just almost. Wow – Rob and I both got clobbered by the flu last week. He stayed home from work Tuesday, and I ended up coming home midday Wednesday. We've both spent the time since then taking nyquil, sleeping, coughing, and moaning. Today was the first day I've felt halfway human, and I'm not entirely sure it'll stick. Hopefully we'll both be able to go to work tomorrow. Heh – judging from work email, half the office got knocked out. It's not MY fault, I went home as soon as I felt sick. More later, I've…
