I just received a meeting request containing the following line:

Would appreciate if you could adjust you dairy to accommodate your attendance.

I'm not sure what adjusting my dairy has to do with anything, but I guess I can try moving around the milk and cheese in the fridge when I get home.

Nobody wants to be stuck in a meeting room with a milked-up lactose intolerant person.

Lesson of the day: Before aiming a fire hose of internet traffic at your website, give your host a heads up.

We just did a Living Social for Ravenwood. The deal went out to 6 million or so subscribers. Obviously only a small fraction clicked through, but it literally resulted in 100x our normal web traffic. Slowed our site to a crawl until I was able to get the host on the horn and have them enable some web cache thingie which fixed it up.

On the up side, we sold out in 12 hours!

Oh, and if anybody is looking for MonoCheli, he was last seen running from the building with his hair on fire, babbling hysterically about the phones. "The ringing, the ringing won't stop!" was the last thing that was heard as he disappeared over the hill.

Whenever someone mouths off a bus driver, I don't hear their words. It just sounds like "I'm an asshole! I'm an asshole!"

Fig. 1. An asshole.

Also Mono's stress relief technique? To die for.

I've enjoyed a bit of Jim White recently, and Still Waters ranks as my 22nd most played song, according to iTunes. It's also six minutes and thirty seven seconds long, which is possibly worth noting.
Some rather striking lyrics from the song:

Yes and there are projects for the dead
And there are projects for the living...
Thought I must confess sometimes
I get confused by that distinction...
And I just throw myself into the arms
Of that which would betray me.
I guess to see how far Providence
will stoop down just to save me.

If you have a soft spot for alt-country/brooding singer/songrwriter stuff without it getting too shrieky or whiny, check it(him) out!

If you were to think of Red Bull as a person, which of the following statements do you think would apply to that person?

Yo, surveys are weird.

I hate those damn questions, and always try to answer "a douche" if they're naive enough to give me a free-form text field.

When it's not, that's when you add in "E. This person is such an expert in their field that they can identify sixteen different types of hemorrhoids by sense of taste alone."

last night we both drank some things we can't take back

My hands are ice cold! How do I know this?
I just went to the washroom. :p

Laying new floor is hard. Painting and mider boxing trim is also very hard. My back and legs and feet hurt like hell... what is worse? Sitting down to play skyrim after and killing mercer frey after doing the whole dwemer and falmer ruins... only to have neither the skeleton key nor one of the eyes of the falmer register... meaning i couldn't finish my larceny questline or my theives guild questline in skyrim.

All that hard work done only to have my last two hours feel useless!

My god, the sheer amount my gaming habits have changed in the last year and a half since I got my current gig is hilarious. I use my 360 more often for Netflix now than I do actual video games. I still haven't finished Arkham City, I want NBA 2K13 and NHL 13, but I sincerely doubt i'll have the kind of time I actually would like to put into them...

...i'm not angry about it, the change has just been so drastic.

As a devoted [ex :(] '69 Dodge Dart owner, I find the new model absolutely insulting. This is probably how I should've felt as an ex Pontiac Le Mans owner but since I didn't raise a stink they came after my beloved.

Iacocca would not have stood for this!

And the water froze onto your hands as you tried to wash them?

Actually it was my initial high-pitched shriek that clued me in.

Have you found your nuts yet? Or are they still in hiding?

I discovered yesterday that this site is now blocked at work after four glorious months of being able to enjoy the website during work hours. This makes me terribly annoyed.

My kids' middle school has a cricket club.

A friend's Facebook status:

So there is Winnie and there is Eeyore, but there is also Rabbit, Owl, and Piglet. There is Honey and Queenie and Dr. Gert Grizzly, but they're with Papa, Mama, Brother, and Sister. And then there is Aslan and Tumnus alongside Mr. and Mrs. Beaver. Dear authors, style guides are your friend! Signed, Mrs. Human Woman.

I don't want to be mean about your friend, but style guide nazis are probably more tiresome than type face nazis.

Put creatives in a box and you get the very uncreative modern landscape.
