Ultra Suckage

• by GeekMan • In Announcements, Quickie •   1

So, how much do I suck?

How much do I suck for not writing in the last two weeks? How much do I suck for not finishing my ‘How to buy a computer’ series? How much do I suck for not figuring out how to implement the design for this website that I’ve had sitting on my hard drive for the last year? How much do I suck for writing a stupid post asking how much I suck?

In other news; my back is better.

Brokeback GeekMan

I broke my back on Friday.

Well, ‘broke’ is a strong word, but I definitely did something bad to my lower back and moving has become a painful thing that I’m trying to avoid. At all costs. So forgive me for not yet finishing my series on buying a computer, but I promise you it will be done as soon as I can get myself to sit comfortably for longer than 20 minutes at a time. I’ll be back soon, so no worries. And if anyone still cares, the baby is doing well and HoBiscuit is healthy and happy as she gets nice and big. Almost as if she’s swallowed a basketball that is slowly morphing into a beach ball. It’s so cute when she forgets how big she’s gotten and she tries to squeeze through a small opening between rows of seats in a restaurant. Wait. If HoBiscuit doesn’t think knocking into things with her belly is cute or funny, does that mean I’m not allowed to either?

Really? Oh. Well then, maybe it’s not cute after all.

Wha Happen?!

I can’t believe it’s been over a week.

Where has all the time gone?! I’ve been running around like a mad chicken without a head for days now, doing things that are both disasterous and funny, and I haven’t had any time whatsoever to write about it until today. I mean, really wacky things are happening in my life. Like, really, really wicked cool, funky fresh and awesomely stupid things. But, because some very important things are still up in the air, I can’t really say anything about anything… yet.

Now, doesn’t that just suck?

Thumbing It

My cell phone sucks.

Today I am once again Blogging from the road using my cell phone. Normally this would warrant a “This is so COOL!” statement, but not from me. I guess I’m just not the kind of person who’s cut out for the “convenience” of using these stupid little keys for typing out anything longer than, “c u l8r 4 dinner?”

Know what I mean?

Anywaste, I just wanted to let everyone know that if you’re in the market for a new phone and are thinking of buying the T-Mobile MDA, don’t. Well, I should mention that the MDA is awesome for being a pda, for surfing the web, connecting to your Outlook contacts or almost any other pda-like task you could ever hope for your phone to do. Why do I hate it then?

Because it sucks as a phone.

It doesn’t hold signal at all, dialing is a study in frustration and the accidental cheek-pressing-button factor is extremely high. All in all, I wouldn’t recommend the MDA to anyone who relies on their cell phone for voice communication. Because it truly does suck for making or receiving calls.

And now I’m going to soak my thumbs in ice water.

Haiku-alicious

When life gives you lemons wear goggles.

I know most of you, heck ALL of you, don’t really care about my real life, but I’m going to tell you a little about my week so far just because it’s driving me crazy so I might as well bring you along for the ride. And you know what? Just because I’m going a bit crazy, I think I’ll tell you using Haiku!

New PhotoBlog site
CSS, HTML
Soon to be revealed

Must buy new laptops
Money flows and disappears
Like flushing toilet

Work, work, work, work, work
Interfering with my life
Yet without, I cry

Searching for or not
Brother, best friend and trouble
Always together

Grandpa hospital
Anxious worry, hopeless fear
Better soon, we hope

I’ll be back as soon as I can.

Days Go By

Whoo-boy, have I been busy.

The last couple of weeks have been fairly crazy for me, but now that I’m finally back to a somewhat more normal schedule my posts should ratchet back up from ‘never’ to ‘infrequent’. This announcement of my pending return to somewhat regular posting should make you smile in a way that clearly conveys to me that you’re merely humoring my delusional belief that someone out there actually cares whether I live or die. Now you should be heaving a mighty sigh of martyred resignation as you pat me on the head and tell me how much you missed me.

Go on, lie. I’m so pathetic I’ll believe you.

Anywaste, many things have happened during my absence but none of those things are very funny so I won’t bother to mention them here since doing so would probably bore you all to tears. Instead, I think I’ll just wish you all a happy Halloween and end here with the understanding that I’ll try harder to be funny tomorrow when I’m not at a clients office party dressed up as a woman’s giant, hairy naughty bit with a name tag that says; “Hi! My name is George.”

Hey, a fur coat and a pink bodysuit is so a real costume!

Points of Interest

  • Chicago seems like a very nice place to visit and I’m sure I would have enjoyed being there more if not for my complete inability to get Frank Sinatra’s song “Chicago” out of my head. It’s especially difficult after walking down State Street (that great street, I just want to say) and actually witnessing a tourist couple laughing and dancing together on the sidewalk. However, I will admit that it was damn cute when he tried to dip her and she dragged him down to the ground as she fell.
  • The best part of being in first class on an airplane has nothing to do with legroom, leather seats or better meals. It’s all about the extra overhead storage. Bless you, overhead storage. Bless you.
  • There’s still time to enter the Adam’s Revenge story contest! I’ve gotten a few sentences but not yet enough for the ten I require to start the story. Come on people! Help me entertain you and send me a sentence! You know you want to.
