I tried to go to work today. Already, this doesn’t sound good, does it? I backed up in 4-Wheel Low and hit the wall created by the plow. I figured I could easily go over it. Little did I realize that the wall’s pretty much solid ice. Now my truck is stuck half in the […]
I had one of those “oh yeah” moments today. See, I drive an SUV. It’s not a huge truck (’97 Chevy Blazer), but it is an SUV that gets less than 25 miles to the gallon. I’ve been feeling guilty recently with all the “oil pays for terrorism” rhetoric around. But, today, I remembered why […]
Rebuilding 900+ Movable Type entries takes forever. The 2.6 upgrade went well. I usually download the full-library one just to get everything. This time though, they didn’t include the upgrade scripts. So, nothing worked when I tried it. I figured the missing upgrade scripts were the problem. So, download the upgrade, run mt-upgrade26.cgi and ::poof::, […]
24″ and counting. They say it’s not going to stop until mid-afternoon tomorrow. We took Max out to play earlier, and will have pictures up later after we warm up our extremities. This is more snow that I could have hoped for, really. It could stop anytime now and I would be perfectly happy. I’m […]
We’re bracing for a gigantic snowstorm. 8-12 inches in one day is like three feet in Minnesota. They’ve cancelled church, which never ever happens. I think I’ve had church cancelled on me maybe three times in my entire life, and once was because we weren’t allowed to leave the base to attend (I was five […]
Ok, last night was pretty bad. I’m feeling a little better today. Jen went out and bought the stuff she wanted and seems better (we haven’t talked much – I’m at work). I’m tired. I took a Tylenol PM last night and still didn’t sleep well. It took forever for it to kick in, and […]
And this is MUCH better than it was even yesterday. I meant to take a picture Thursday when both eyes were bright red (no, I mean it, like stoplight red), but I felt too bad to bother getting the camera. Now, you can see at least some of it. The left eye’s a little better […]
292.5 – Yeah, the diet’s on even though I’m sick and want to claw my eyes out with gardening tools. I’m watching John Ashcroft’s press conference about the raised thread level, and well, I’m not sure why, but I’m not terribly worried about going to ‘orange’. Daytime TV sucks. It’s just plain horrible. TiVo is […]
It’s even worse today. It took 5 minutes to get my eyes open this morning, and they sting like crazy. Visine helps a little, but not enough for me to stop squinting like a mole. Needless to say, I’m home again so I don’t infect anyone else. What 27 year-old gets pink eye in BOTH […]
