I’ve gotten back into videogames in the past year and because I have remedial skills, I am playing all of the old games. I have a dual system that plays original NES games and Super Nintendo games, plus I inherited a Nintendo 64.
I admit: my skills are remedial. I’m no genius, so I like the…
I’m actually the same way with video games. I love video games and ADORE video...

Agree! Read Bruce Schneier’s piece about how insecure the TSA checkpoints are (so many people exposed) and the fact that ANYONE can alter a print-at-home boarding pass. It’s Security Theater.
My former boss was on a TSA watch list because her bra set off the metal detector once. She was 67 years old and had been an elite flight status member for FORTY YEARS. I have also been pulled...
Truthful Tuesday
I have a secret obsession with Trash Marketing. Not trashy like explicit, but garbage - actual, physical refuse. I work in Marketing for a very large corporation and because of our industry presence, we take the high ethical road on everything and even have a strict policy against trash marketing. Meaning that you’ll never see my company logo on items that are designed to be garbage.
But...

Confessions of a N00B
I’ve gotten back into videogames in the past year and because I have remedial skills, I am playing all of the old games. I have a dual system that plays original NES games and Super Nintendo games, plus I inherited a Nintendo 64.
I admit: my skills are remedial. I’m no genius, so I like the simple stuff: Yoshi’s Island, Super Mario Brothers, etc. But still, the N64 games are...
Truthful Tuesday
We have a two car garage that can fit exactly ZERO cars inside of it. When we moved (which, nearly 4 years later is still hard to talk about without launching a panic attack), we had 3 days and only the two of us to pack and move everything we owned, which was a substantial amount of crap. It was so physically and emotionally demanding (having only 72 hours to move 6 years of stuff is difficult!)...
I have just realized something.

That Paul McCartney song “Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime” *blech* is the Carlton Dance of songs.
This song makes me stabby. Seriously, Paul? SERIOUSLY?
Another thing that makes people believe I am a communist (besides disliking pizza, hot dogs, and wine): I cannot stand the Beatles. I don’t know why, but their music (and nearly everything that the band...

I’m at this phase today at work where I’m very busy, but also a clock-watcher. I have stuff to do that I could use to keep me busy and eat up most of my remaining 90 minutes, but… I really just want to have a cookie and play Super Mario 64.

I call this the “Your kid is also my kid” syndrome. I’ve had on-call people tell me they can’t fix production problems at 4 in the afternoon because they have to pick their kids up from school.

Blerf. I know a lot of people disagree, but my cats are my kids. When...
Truthful Tuesday
Ryan went to return movies to Blockbuster and I got in the bath. When he came back, he’d brought hot fudge sundaes so I ate a hot fudge sundae while soaking in a hot bubble bath.
He totally got a bonus stamp on his blow job reward card.
I hate bitching about free services, but GODDAMNIT TUMBLR! The queued posts are publishing all at once again. grrr.
Weird Things People Said To Me Wednesday
(Well, this wasn’t said to me but it’s still hilarious.)
My cousin works for an employment agency and she found a job for this sweet Asian lady with broken English. The lady was so thrilled that she came into the office to bring everyone a gift: a can of beans.
My Cousin: Thank you for the beans, that was very kind of you!
Lady: I was going to bring chocolate, but sometime lady...

me: I’m still in my pajamas and I haven’t brushed my hair. Or my teeth.
mom: That’s ok. I’ve seen you covered in amniotic fluid and still thought you were cute.

Read about my mental constipation!
Think of it as a belated truthful Tuesday.
I tried to comment on your bloggy, but it hates me and I got confused and probably submitted my comment like 20 times. So I figured I may as well do it here too.
Have you tried learning a completely new technique? Sometimes working on a piece that’s a design study, rather than...
I started a tumblr blog for my husband but because I created it, I can’t add any of the posts to my favorites or reblog anything (weird.). So, if you want to see some of his artwork, just click on over here: http://ryanwinn.tumblr.com
The razor has been put away for the winter.

And I don’t mean my idiotic scooter. See you in 6 months, you bastard.

For some reason, I had a wave of nostalgia for about 20 minutes today and I decided to peek in on one of my old blog friends. He was someone that I grew very close to over a period of several years and we would talk for hours every day. My husband (and everyone else) called him my “blog boyfriend” because I was constantly talking about him. My husband even liked my boyfriend (and vice...
Best thing I've seen today

“Man, I just logged into myspace for the 1st time in months… You know when you go back to the mall you use to hangout at years later and everything is shut down and fucked up? It was just like that. I felt like I just walked into Metro North Mall.”
I know that EXACT feeling. Both about MySpace and the mall. My “favorite hangout mall” has now fallen on such hard times...
Truthful Tuesday
Drinking water gives me gas. Carbonated soda? No. But give me plain water and I’ll toot like a truckdriver.
