Turns out I had some kind of stomach bug and it wasn’t food poisoning at all. Woo hoo! WhataBurger is back on the menu! They say the bug that all the people on the cruise ships have been enjoying these past few months is a likely culprit. It can be passed by as much as […]

Returning to normal after most recent food poisoning incident. Thought of ingesting meat less sickening now. Lost 10 pounds. Did lots of deep thinking during recovery. Decided I should throw out all my old ugly clothes. Got as far as putting them into 3 bags. Next trip back to Houston and some lucky homeless person […]

It was 8 P.M. Thought I was hungry. Hopped into the Mitsubishi and drove to old reliable Whataburger on 290 and Jones. Reminisced about good times had there so many years ago. Ordered the #4 with a Diet Coke. Translation: Chicken sandwich on wheat, fries, and a drink. Ate up while I drove home. Yum […]

Looks like Queen Beth got the telepathic message I was sending out in my last entry. Kudos, Beth Deth. I am now reminded of a little story. In September 2000, I was unfortunately placed in a desk adjacent to our former IT guy. He had recently been toppled from power unceremoniously and re-assigned to programming […]

I am finding myself at a loss as of late for good blogs. I frequent Wil Wheaton’s blog because he updates at least as often as I have tried to. I think he goes further with his entries, however, because a writer writes. I am a programmer, so a programmer programs. I like my other […]

My new work computer committed hardware suicide this past Wednesday night. They say it was the vent holes, but I think that machine just didn’t have the will to live up to my high expectations. The carcass is missing this morning. I have mentally prepared myself for eventual razzing about the situation. I plan to […]

Listening to Marilyn Manson’s ”Coma White” and working on a payment screen for my awesome clients. In a great mood. Had a great holiday, although admittedly I got most of my errands done during the last eight hours before I left for the airport. I’ll hit the highlights. Got into town on 11/22 and felt […]

Gotta love it when you see a news story about a guy who burned his penis with his laptop. Sounds like a Jackass stunt gone awry and this is the lame excuse he came up with. At least he didn’t come up with a story about how a raccoon came up behind him and burned […]

I am major bummed. Company Holiday party usually falls on a Saturday. This year it’s on a Thursday while I’m still up here. Thought crossed my mind that I should try to attend the party here, but that’s on the *next* Thursday after I return to H-town. So, I guess I won’t get to party […]

I bought a case of diet Vanilla Coke last week. Once or twice I have almost said that I bought a case of diet Vanilla Ice. Luckily nobody notices, so I pretend like I knew what I was saying. I bought 5 cases, actually. They were on sale, 5 cases for 10 bucks. That works […]
