2009 (Good Riddance)
I started off the year thinking that the surgery I had was successful—I didn’t need to use a cane anymore, and I could walk at a brisk stride. In February, I started getting worse again. March, I needed to use my cane occasionally. By May, constantly. At the end of the summer I got a wheelchair for occasional use. By the end of fall I was using it regularly. And now, I need to use it...

HEY! SOMETIMES I WRITE WORDS.
yowhatsthehaps:
I do! For serious!
MAYBE MY RESOLUTION IS TO STOP PUTTING MY FACE ON THE INTERNETS.
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
WwF Tournament results are coming in.
wordishness:
Updated brackets later today.
How are you guys finishing so fast? Though I guess the fact that my opponent is 8 time zones away limits our play time.
Please. Send. Help. Must. Stop. Eating.

Only. Have. Seconds. (…and Thirds. And Fourths.)
Still wide awake, the Caffeine I took to abort the cluster headache is soundly defeating the Ambien I took in an effort to get some modicum of sleep tonight.
Merry Christmas!
I can confirm that it has been a silent night…
…but not for much longer I expect—the kids will surely be up soon clamoring to open gifts. So. Do I get up with them and spend Christmas sleep deprived? Or...

Ooof. I let my Tumbularity drop to 0. I don’t think I’m playing this game right.

My friends are word nerds (but I love them). them.) them).
…but I love them.
When in doubt, punt.
If you’re American, then “(but I love them.)” and if British then “(but I love them).”
If you’re a programmer of any nationality, do it the British way or you won’t compile.

I already miss Favrd
…and I was barely even on the periphery of it.
Though anyone who cares about it has almost certainly already read it, but here’s a repost of Dean’s explanation of why he took down Favrd. I join many in thinking that Dean should’ve talked to the community about it and at least discussed with us different ways (structural and social) that undesirable behavior could be...

I don’t know how I managed to fuck up this frozen dinner.
But there you have it.
Step 1: Freeze the dinner.
Step 2: Eat it.
Don’t do it the other way around.
* This is assuming you’re having ice cream or popsicles for dinner. Results may vary for other dinners.
Favrd shut down today...
…and as much as I love Favstar, it doesn’t have the same sense of community as Favrd did.
So.
Since the community most like Favrd is Tumblr (probably b/c of the giant overlap of their circles in a Venn diagram), I’ve now signed up for a Tumblr to fill the gap that Favrd filled.
(i.e. the daily dose of deaffirmation that I normally get from my lack of stars, I’ll now get...
