continuous integration

I’ve decided to make a return to Philly for the weekend. I have my dog already checked into the Jersey Village Animal Hospital kennel facility. I was supposed to bring the DeLorean to this Back to the Future Party thing on Friday night. I hate to flake out on them but I’ll make it up […]

seems a bit unstable

It finally happened. I cracked at the movie theater! While watching ”Spanglish” with the roommate, a cell phone call interrupted everything 70 minutes into the show. Rude 45 Year Old Dude (on bright blue cell phone): ”Hello? Who’s this? Oh. You wanna talk to Randall. How you doing? Heh. Yeah. I’m at the movies. Ummm, […]

15 minutes

It only took me fifteen minutes to get to work this morning. That rarely happens. I stopped by the fabrication place to pick up one of the five DeLorean vents that I’ve had in the works since Thanksgiving break. Click here to view my beautiful aluminum DeLorean vents. Please note that there’s a little work […]

remember when milf was a typo?

I’m sitting on my bed using my laptop. My dog is in his newly procured from Petsmart doggy bed. To his right are six new chew bones and a rope-doll combination toy (it looks hideous but he likes it). My room is an enormous mess. I’m going to find a photo of me from 1974-ish […]

baby duluth

I’m in Duluth, Georgia and the fun just doesn’t stop. I need to be out of here in 26 minutes so this will be the super briefest update ever. Got lost in Virginia. Found wireless connection in neighborhood. Got new directions. Got lost in North Caroline. Couldn’t find wireless connection. Bought GPS software from Best […]

i hate packing

Not only do I hate packing, I hate the whole compression and decompression that one most go through in order to move. You get cuts and scratches and headaches and stress as a result. Not so fun. I’m leaving here for Houston this morning after piling my car sky high with my possessions all yesterday. […]

still worried about the election?

Happy New Year! It’s coming on five years that I’ve had a blog. They’re quite mainstream now. The original blog that I used to follow on a daily basis, puce.com is now a lame ”I’m Too Mature To Have A Blog” punk-ass site. Has anything really changed? I’m heading back to Houston after a three […]

the final countdown

Talked to my bank yesterday and was kinda-sorta assured that the manager would look into my gift cheque signing debacle ”as soon as she came back from vacation.” Right. I should be back in Houston by that time. They don’t want me to bring my mom down there, trust me. Have you ever heard of […]

merry [religious symbol]mas

Super freakin’ annoyed thanks to my local Bank of America branch. Avoid 9125 West Sam Houston Parkway North if you need competent banking services. Bought American Express Gift Cheques for the family. Moron teller who sold them to me *told* me to sign the cheques at the top. Didn’t even flinch because, you figure, the […]

the real world austin

Just wanted to post a quick entry before I go to sleep. I just set up The Real World Austin site now that we’ve got positive confirmation where the show is headed to next. So cool! Anyway, below are the topics I plan to cover in depth in tomorrow’s blog. Sorry for the short update. […]
