Indecision 2000

Was watching NBC nightly news just now, and they had a little piece on the Election Night Broadcasters’ Fuckup, which happened when the vote in Florida for the 2000 presidential race was called too early and incorrectly.

They assure us it won’t happen again. They can assure all they want, I just won’t watch be watching […]

Happy Day of the Dead Eve

So this is the awesome jack-o-lantern we designed and carved about two weeks ago. And this is what those bastard squirrels did to it.
Gross, huh?
So what’s the deal with Halloween around here? I have a stash of candy in case the kiddies come by, but I’m having a hard time finding any local mention of […]

Devilish

Wishing everybody a happy [and safe] Devil’s Night. It’s almost time for my favorite holiday: “Fall back” for Daylight Saving Time! Woo hoo! An extra hour of sleep. I don’t think it gets any better than that.

Tonight I was going to set out the jack-o-lantern Iain and I carved for Halloween, but the damned […]

Victory is mine

Just a few changes around here, most of which I hope you don’t even notice.
I wasted three hours trying to upgrade to MT 3.121 last night [sorry I couldn’t call you, Jen, I broke the Internet]. No luck. Hung up on some upgrade scripts and an “invalid login” error.
Went to sleep all pissed […]

I have no pithy title today

Thinking I might flip on the tube this weekend to catch Tina Fey and Amy Poehler doing ‘Weekend Update.’
Perplexing: What is the deal with Parkville people going as nuts over Halloween decorations as they do over Christmas? Those little orange pumpkin lights, giant blow-up Frankinsteins that take up entire yards, flags and window-stickers. Yowsa. […]

Hers and Hers and His

Three musketeers? Jeffro and Tasha were in town last night and today and we had a blast hanging out. I think they should move here so I can see them all the time. Just like the olden days! Remembering the drama of the Snooz, scoping for boys [well, not me, obviously], eating and drinking, walking […]

Hope for the Book Thing

Book Thing founder Russ Wattenberg may have found a new home for his hundreds of thousands of free books, but he’ll need help getting the mortgage together.
The City Paper reports today:
Wattenberg says he’ll enter this week into a contract to purchase for $280,000 a 24,000-square-foot building at 122 W. North Ave. He hopes to relocate […]

Maybe I should watch more television, after all.

Via Kenney:

Better than reading a transcript of Jon Stewart calling Tucker Carlson a dick is watching the video of Jon Stewart calling Tucker Carlson a dick. Thanks, VizEds!

‘How could you let me let myself go like this?’

And I don’t even put butter in my coffee.
For those of you yearning for a shot of me from the neck down, I relent. Dad took this shot right before they left last Monday.
Turns out that was the day I barfed all over myself at work; nothing makes you feel more like a little […]

Pumpkin portraiture

• who’s there?

  Oh hey you guys, it's me, Supa. Things I enjoy: talking on my bananaphone, being a nerd, writing, sewing, writing about sewing, giving my husband high-fives, playing Nintendo with my kids, playing with technological gadgetry, knitting, and reading decorating books. Did I write down nachos? Add that in there. Follow me on Twitter! I'm occasionally funny there.
