Wow, my resolution to blog daily (at least through the week) lasted for a whole streak of ONE! One day a blog, the next day I missed. Kinda like my winning streak in Fantasy Football, but I'm not complaining - I'm solidly in the middle of the pack (4-3), about where I expected/hoped to be.
I had a typical Helly day at work - seemingly simple task/assignment turns so laughably, unbelievably complex that the scenario would never work in a movie or on a comedy show - too surreal. Can't blog about that, though, so here are a few answers to Vox questions:
All My Computers: how many computers do you have in your house?
Wow, I'm glad the question was worded that way because if it had been "how many computers do you own", this would have been a very short entry. I own a laptop, a pwecious spiffy IBM ThinkPad. But in my house, now - in my house would be all of Alan's computers. These are, lessee: a Mac Mini which is very cute and wee; an iBook - a G3 or G4, I dunno; a Monarch PC ; a PC running a beta version of Linux; a PC running Red Hat; a Unix...server thingy (I'm very tech-savvy); there's an old laptop of mine that has a busted screen but I kept until I could transfer some of my files (going on 3 years now); then there are computers dedicated to various Mac OSs, tigers and panthers and leopards oh my! and parts and pieces and motherboards and hard drives enough to build about 4 more total computers. And we have some monitors, too.
I Can't Believe I Ate This: what's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten?
Joel Tierney.
Actually, that's a lie. I don't know anyone named Joel Tierney but I thought the best answer to that question would be some random dude's name. So, Joel, if you're out there, don't worry about not calling me back; I hardly expected it from a fictional encounter. I used to think the weirdest thing I'd ever eaten was a dog biscuit. When I was much younger, we had those little Milk Bones for small dogs that came in colours; I was fascinated by the blue ones, probably because so little of the people food I was served was blue (at least that particular hue). But over the course of making close adult friends and sharing confidences, I have learned that there are quite a few of us who have succumbed to the crunchy allure of the Milk Bone. I've eaten alligator (in fried chunks with roumelade sauce at this great Cajun restaurant), elk steak and eel - those are the weirdest things I can think of. You know, besides Joel Tierney.

There's something missing here, isn't there? I wanted to respond to it, but let's just say that we can relate.
Also, there was a story about a Reno schoolteacher in our paper the day you posted this. She teaches sixth grade and to prove to her students that you don't have to be a millionaire to run for office, she ran against Jim Gibbons (the guy who is currently famous for being stupid and having drinks with attractive women who aren't his wife...and then who knows for sure what happened afterwards - that, and they hired an illegal alien, but he's like so totally against illegal immigrants), and lost, but got more than 30% of the vote. They're making a movie out of her story, starring Halle Berry. She's an average looking overweight white (as far as I can tell) chick and she gets to be played by Halle Berry. I wanted Angelina Jolie to play me in the "Fake Leanne Domi Story".
Oh yeah, the reason I wrote all that - her name is Tierney Cahill. Your "Joe Tierney" triggered that rambling comment, so you only have yourself to blame.
