I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I get up.
Make coffee,
feed cats,
Get ready for work.
Work.
Take a power nap in my car.
Work some more.
Drive home.
Fuss over my cats.
Eat.
Fart around on the internet.
Read.
Fall asleep.
Repeat all steps if it's Tuesday-Saturday.
Weekends = less work, more internet. =)

My Interests

Breaking my computer.
Fixing my computer.
Repeat ad nauseum.

Inventing a bunch of
idiotic voices
to either entertain
or irritate
friends, family, and coworkers.
If I had a way to insert
a sound clip right here,
I would do it,
so I could annoy you, too.

Making up names for bands:
"Cyclops Dreaming". "Voodoo Poodles". "Drainmonsters". "The Botch".

Hiking around in the wilderness hoping to find
a pond/stream/rivulet/puddle
with interesting critters
crawling/swimming/floating sideways in it/them.

Learning how to ski.
Presently perfecting:
Advanced Learning How to Get Up From Falling Down 202
and Digging Self Out of Snowbanks 101.

Writing.

Making people laugh, usually at my own expense.

Restoring ancient photographs to make them look new.

Doing the opposite with new photographs to make them look old.

Getting back in touch with long-lost friends.

And I do mean long.

Breathing.

I'd like to meet:

Bummer. The people I think I'd most like to meet are already dead. Meaning I'd have to learn how to summon departed spirits, or die and chat with them on the other side, or lower my standards and aspire to meet someone who's not dead. Or I could say "bone it" and tell you I've already met the people I've most wanted to meet.

Music:

(Clears throat) Ahem. So, have you got like, a decade or so to kill? Because that's how long it would take to cover my musical preferences. Yeah, I didn't think so. In spite of all that, I usually leave the radio set to one station (KINK FM) and am pretty content with that.

Movies:

Numerous. I like weird, thought-provoking stuff. But honestly, I have something like 95 DVDs I still haven't watched yet. So maybe I'll answer this question in, say, 20 DVDs or so.

Television:

Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, MTV (when I feel like getting pissed off) and some morning programs I'm too ashamed to name.

Books:

Books about dead celebrities.
Books about live, weird celebrities.
Books about made-up diseases
(no, really, there is one, and I have it!)
Matt Groening's Hell books.
Calvin and Hobbes.
Field guides to wild flowers, critters and birds.
Anything with disgusting pictures.
Trashy tabloids, when I have to sit in a doctor's waiting room.
Way better than those extra-large print Readers Digest buggers.

Heroes:

Let me get back to you on this one, because the vote's not in.

My Blog

Apologies

Way, way, WAY overdue for an update.  Sorry.  Tee hee.  I've been working a lot, and when I am not working, I'm being a useless slob, finding any reason I can to avoid logging on to Mys...

Why Hateful Exes Should Never Cross Me

    I just about peed my pants when I discovered this.  It immediately followed the Big Ugly Breakup--circa November, 2005-- wherein I found an outlet and therapy in Photoshop.&nbs...

Incidentally....

....by the looks of it, my blog page ought to be retitled as Jasper's blog page.  It seems I write of little more than him these days.

Fun in Tigard

It's like Christmas morning around here.  While searching around for the hard drive I'm giving to Sean, I had to pull out boxes and whatnot (isn't that the way it is?  You can trip over that...

Raining cats and dogs?

The phone rang just a few minutes ago.  In typical form, I ignored it.  I don't do this (or not do this, if you want to get picky about it) because I'm lazy or snotty.  Okay, so maybe I...

So cute I could not stand it...again and again and again.

So I went to Amanda and Josh's place yesterday.  I couldn't stay long because I had to park kinda-sorta illegally, because that's just how scarce parking space is downtown.Happy to report my car ...

"Comfort Zone"? What the hell is that?

Um...that was a rhetorical question...or moderately sarcastic, anyway.First, let me preface this with a disclaimer that Nakori is competing with the computer for lap space.  He goes absolutely bo...

Like, majorly overdue.

What an abomination.  I've not written forever.  At first it was because I didn't really feel like doing anything, and now, it seems to be a matter of doing (almost) too much.  The latt...

Oh yeah, one more thing.

Now that I get up early for work, I'm officially a Day Person.  The cool thing about this is that I'm up at 6:30 on weekends.  And now that the sun is up until nearly 9PM, my days off are RE...

Okay, now this PISSES ME OFF.

There is absolutely no excuse for a single retail establishment having any tainted pet food on the shelves.  This information was disseminated last month.I feel that merchants should be held lega...
