Accidental Prog-Rocker.

Yeah, I fell down on the job. The Blitz is busted. Dude, I wasn’t thinking. I have been working almost as many hours as, well, as a normal full time worker. I am no longer accustomed to that sort of labor, and I now remember why Lennox comes home able only to stare at the TV for a while on weeknights.

You can think me a wuss, but I am just aware of my limits. (They may differ from yours, and that’s fine.)

Anyway, I just wanted to announce to Teh Intarwebs that I just accidentally rocked out to Rush.

I feel so dirty.

*shiver*

April Blitz Day 4: A (Late) Lent Question.

As someone brought up by secular humanists, I don’t really know a lot about Lent.

Now, I know that Lent is currently over, but here’s a question:
If you’re really into Lent and you’re really into “Lost,” do you only eat fish biscuits on Fridays?

These are the thoughts that plague me.

April Blitz Day 3: BSG!

I came into the whole “Battlestar Galactica” thing a little late, mostly out of remake-based prejudice (rather than a loyalty to the original show), but once I was talked into watching the mini-series I was hooked — I mean, like a bad heroin habit hooked.

I caught up enough to watch season three in real time last year, and even though I felt it was weaker than the first two seasons, it was still the best thing on TV (since “Deadwood,” anyway).

So this is just a note to say how fracking ready I am to find Earth! Woooooo! Season four starts tomorrow!

(This message brought to you by my inner sci-fi geek. Thank you.)

April Blitz Day 2: Where the (Hot) Boys Are.

This is just a little tip for the lascivious. Because I am temping in the Montrose currently, I have had occasion to spend some time at one of the bus stops at Richmond and Montrose — you know, the one in front of the building with the bank and the ESL school?

Well, the ESL school is where they’ve been hiding all of the really good looking foreign guys, apparently. They all come outside on their breaks and stand around chatting, and generally looking like European and South American fashion models.

It is amusing to me…in a prurient sort of way.

(Ha-ha, I said “prurient.” Look it up, squares!)

April Blitz Day 1: Shoe Spam.

It is time once more for a posting blitz, I think — no foolin’. Since it’s tax season, I propose 30 days of short, easily digested posts of various flavors…mostly about me, because it is my blog.

I will begin with this: The spam generators have figured out that I not only wear shoes, I also purchase them.

Amongst the usual fake Rolex deals, cheap (possibly fake) meds ads, and the never ending barrage of penis enlargement headlines, I have noticed a sprinkling of shoe spam. Whether or not these are really for illicit designer shoe-buying or are merely keyword titles to get through filters, I don’t know.

But they’re still barking up the wrong tree. I don’t wear a watch, I haven’t been to a doctor in a decade, and I still don’t have a penis. I do wear shoes — relatively expensive ones — but they are all comfortable shoes. My shoes tend to be sturdy, supportive, and not really out of place at a lesbian bar.

So, nice try, intarwebs. Good luck with your spam business…
