Spring Fever

It was beautiful yesterday; temps around 80 and sunny. I decided to skip out early and went home around 3. Too nice a day to stay in the office.
So I went home... and vaccumed the house.
wtf?

Well, Duh!!!

How dumb am I? Just this evening I realized that the whole Facebook concept came from the Face Book that was published every year at Phillips Exeter, where I went to high school. It was a little white book with everyone's mug shot. It was how you figured out the name of the cute guy you saw in the dining hall and how Mr. Mahoney could walk by just about anyone on campus and greet them by name. (Freaked me out when he did it to me since I'd never spoken to him before.) I can't believe I've been on Facebook for close to a year and have read several times about the kid who started it being a PEA grad and never put it all together.

Lost in Translation

These computers and the Internet can do some pretty slick tricks, but they still can't translate for you.
Just ask these Chicago Cubs fans who thought they were proclaiming the inevitability of their new Japanese import's success. What their signs really said were, "Yo! It's a coincidence!"
Nice to know it's still gonna be possible to make a few bucks off of translation for a while.

Writer's Block

Aarrghrghg. I had a very nice day, but I don't really feel like writing about it. My man did a good job writing about it here. Go read him.

I Must Be Getting Old

I thought I was going to be clever and call on a backlog of remembered conversations to help get me through this month of NaBloPoMo without resorting to telling you all what I had for breakfast and other similar minutiea. Then after I posted one I checked my archives and realized I already blogged about that particular conversation nine months ago.
Oh God. I'm becoming one of those people...
