Last Thursday and Friday were my first two days of employment, conveniently at the start of a pay period, at the New Diamond Mines. It's all been orientation and observation. Everyone I've met seems openly glad to see me come aboard. They've been needing someone to fill this position for quite awhile. Their eyes get even wider when they know about my background in the mental health field.So far,...

The latest episode "School Reunion" is the best. one. ever. Nods to the history of a television series don't get much better than this. There's even a little something in it for all you Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans.It was an honest-to-God tear-jerker which is rare in sci-fi TV. Rarer still, it wasn't because...

One day earlier this week. I got a new gig to go to tomorrow.You scored as James Bond, Agent 007. James Bond is MI6's best agent, a suave, sophisticated super spy with charm, cunning, and a license's to kill. He doesn't care about rules or regulations and somewhat amoral. He does care about saving humanity though,...
Every time I argue against the banning or restriction of martial arts training and weaponry, I get my foot shoved in my mouth by idiots like this.This is from an old friend from Fight Club. He's on a mailing list which he describes as......unfortunately half filled with Irish Catholic religious zealots who view western fighting arts as the physical component to their faith (similarly to shotguns...

You've probably all seen the original ad. For pete's sake, the King is creepy anough without the nightmarish thought that you could wake up and find him in bed next to you. I enjoy their breakfast sandwiches, but I wouldn't want to have him touching my knee to get one.But have you seen the BK doing a pole ...
Yes, I'm geeky over it but not as some who actually debate whether this "new" Doctor Who is "Series 2" (which it is--if that's what the production credits say, isn't that freaking good enough?) or "Season 28" (i.e. a continuation of the old series).But, I'm still geeky, especially after the latest episode, called "Tooth and Claw." Why? Dropped references to the old series? SFX by the same folks...

I'm not sure if I took a test of the same name or the same test. Oh, well. Wish there was a picture to go with it. The Subtle Hipster Sweet jesus. you're 86% hipster. You're pretty hip, but not in a ridiculously over-the-top kind of way. In fact, you probably look like a regular person generally and...
Had the three-hour interview at the Big Red Barn which consisted of three separate meetings. The first was with the human resources manager of the department I'd be working for. I figured it'd just be to fill out various and sundry forms, which I did. And then, she started explaining benefits packages to me. When she asked if I had any questions, I wanted to say, "Why are you telling me about...

That's "solution" in the chemical sense, i.e. a mixture of solutes. (Hey, damn, that's pretty good--that's what I'm going to call these types of posts from now on!)ITEM 1Guru Mushtaq said some kind words for this blogger. By the way, he's 85% quirky. Given his silat skills, I dunno how I'm gonna sleep at night...

I've come across a few things lately that were designed to make your life easier. For me, at least, they seem to be living up to that promise. It makes me wonder, to paraphrase Tom Baker a la his Symphony voice-over outtakes...How did the world ever exist before fcuking _____________ came into it?DEL.ICIO.USMy first and favorite Web 2.0 app. Yes, it's meant to be a "social bookmarking" site where...
So, B's got some bad news on his blog. But, it's not gonna keep him down. One door shuts, and he automatically starts feeling around for another one. I gotta hand it to him for that, and for working in sales. I couldn't do it.This has been up before, but this one goes out to him and all you salesfolks out there: Alec Baldwin's speech in Glengarry Glen Ross.You may have to turn up the volume on...
Ever have one of those moments where you see something take two seconds to go all wrong, but time seems to slow down just enough for you to take in the full scope of it? Like when you're looking at your keys in the ignition as your hand is shutting the car door? Or, when you're watching that stray shopping cart head straight for your fender? Or, when you reach out to grab a teleporting mobst...

I'm sure it's easy to look at this picture and say, "Now, that doesn't look so bad. And, besides, you're here blogging, so how busy could you be?"It's also as easy to punch the throat of anyone who might say that to me at this moment. Last night was the first full night's sleep I've had all week. It was pharmaceutically-induced,...
I can relate to this puppet, who constantly asks others, "Do you have any idea how fcuking busy I am?"This has been a week of setbacks. The first half of the week was my fault--too much putzing and traveling and thinking, "Oh, if I can just get all of the big errands out of the way, I'll have the whole rest...
This is why it's important to support your public library!Don Byron and Nicholas Payton are old rotation staples for me. I have Tuskegee Experiments on cassette somewhere, and have been looking around for the CD for quite awhile; it's a deep album complete with poetry by Saddiq on the track "Tuskegee Experiment"...

Late again. Maybe I'll just do this on Fridays for awhile. Bacardi 151 Congratulations! You're 134 proof, with specific scores in beer (100) , wine (150), and liquor (69). All right. No more messing around. Your knowledge of alcohol is so high that you have drinking and getting plastered down to a science....
