Morning Seditionists

Not feeling so hot today. Had something or other hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday. I hope it goes away. Mondays suck, but being sick sucks worse.

Today on Press the Meat, Timmy Potatohead has an exclusive with General Michael “Elmer Fudd” Hayden, and what will no doubt be a thrilling political discussion with Iraq War cheerleader Peter Beinart, and his assholiness himself from the NY Times, David Brooks. (more…)

I was at work when I read about Art and Shep yesterday, and I started crying like a little baby. And I’m a miserable (and very manly, I feel compelled to add) old fuck. When you get to be an old bastid you’ve had to deal with a lot of loss in life.

If you’re an animal person, then you’ve had to deal with the loss of your best friends in the world. You lose your grandparents, your parents, friends and acquaintances. People you like, people you’re indifferent to, and people you feel kinda guilty about not feeling bad that they’re gone. Some of us out there have had to deal with the loss of their kids or their brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, whatever, in a pointless, illegal war. (more…)

This has been a long, long week. I know I say that a lot, but yesterday had to have been the longest Thursday in recorded history. If today goes as slowly as yesterday did, I might have to shoot myself in the head.

On the bright side, Fritz had his first doctor’s appointment yesterday, and he’s a very healthy little (maybe not so little anymore) boy. OK, let’s get this shit over with already.

Got my replacement laptop power supply last night, so I’m back in business (assuming the little bugger – who is four months old today, by the way – stays away from it, of course). Not much else to say this morning though. Guess I’ll go watch the teevee, and see if anything interesting happened overnight.

Can’t write much this morning, because I need to conserve my battery power. A certain puppy chewed through my laptop power supply cord (the DC side), so I have to conserve until the replacement arrives. Got a bunch of meetings at work today, too, on top of having to test stuff. Oh and do all my other jobs (sometimes it’s hard to get my quota of websurfing and blogging done). Hopefully the water’s at least working today.

I was supposed to be sleeping in late today, because we’re implementing a new application framework after hours today, so I was going to go in late to stay late and test it. But then we found out the database person wasn’t going to be able to implement things until after seven o’clock (and we can’t test until after that). So, screw it. I’ll test my stuff tomorrow morning. If it’s broken, well, it’ll make for fun Wednesday. (more…)

I’m too damn tired to get up and do this again today. But, I have to. So that means I’ll do it, but I won’t do it well.

Happy Easter to everybody who cares that it’s Easter. Happy “shit, I gotta go back to work tomorrow” day to everybody else. I have a lot of shit to do today (the usual, but complicated by the old familial obligations, which start way too early, if you ask me (which, of course, nobody ever does), so this will be a quick rundown of what’s on the talking head shows today. (more…)

Odds are, I’m expected to do a lot of shit tomorrow (though nobody ever tells me anything ahead of time. I’m just expected to intuit these things, I guess), so I need to get all my other weekend shit done today, I guess. Problem is, I’m not generally happy and peppy and bursting with love on Saturdays. Oh well. Better go see about getting up and around. There are doggies counting on me, after all.
