The first 75% of my laptop battery lasts for about 3 hours. The last 25% lasts for about 4 minutes. What’s that all about?

“It’s been two years since [Barry Bonds] played his last game, and if there was any chance he’d be back in a major-league uniform, it would have happened by now,” said Bonds’ agent Jeff Borris. “When 2008 came around, I couldn’t get him a job. When 2009 came around, I couldn’t get him a job. Now, 2010…I’d say it’s nearly impossible. It’s an unfortunate ending to a storied career.”

It appears as though some of the letters in that last adjective were accidently rearranged.

My wife just offered me some cold turkey. I told her I’m trying to quit, but it’ll probably take a few tries.

November {cough} resolutions

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:15:00 -0600

I know it’s still only November, but I’m thinking of getting a jump start on my New Years resolution this year. Every year in January, I make a promise to change something in my life and I usually do a pretty good job of keeping up with it. But since I already know what I plan on changing this year, I figured why wait until next month to get started. So starting this weekend, I plan to take up smoking.

We’re all aware of the risks of not smoking: you have increased lung capacity so people expect you to help them carry shit, you have less time available to socialize, you care when other people smoke, and probably most importantly, you have fewer 15 minute breaks at work. So I think it’s high time I start taking advantage of the obvious benefits that smoking has to offer. I’ve worked in the same office building for years, but there’s dozens of people who work in the very same building as me whom I’ve never met. And you know why? It’s because I’m not outside smoking with them. Ask a smoker about that good-looking girl from the 3rd floor who’s always standing right outside the smoker’s door and they’re going to have the entire scoop. “Oh she works on 3. Her name is Heather. She’s really cool; went to Northwestern. I talk to her sometimes when I’m out smoking.” See? Now that can be me. Also, I think about the next time one of my friends has to move. They’re going to call me up on a Tuesday afternoon or something and say “hey Man, what are you doing on Saturday?” and I’ll say “nothing I don’t think” and they’ll say “can you help me move?” Normally I’d be stuck. I wouldn’t be able to think of a way to get out of it right there on the fly. But check this out:

“Oh you know what, I really haven’t felt all that great lately. I’ve got a scratchy throat and I’ve been coughing up a lung for weeks. I should really quit smoking. Yeah right. Anyway, I really don’t think I’ll be able to help this weekend, I should really just get some rest. Sorry.”

And they won’t be able to say shit. They’ll completely understand. All because of cigarettes.

So Happy New Year, everyone. Here’s to a year full of smoke breaks, increased socializing, and getting out of doing shit. Cheers!

I don’t want to give you all the wrong idea. I’m not back exactly. I know that will come as a huge disappointment to the four of you who hit refresh on my site every 30 seconds in hopes that I’ll have another hilarious anecdote to share. Rather, this is just me stopping by to say hello. My access is working today, but it’s only temporary. But never fear, for I’ll be back again next Thursday with some more fantastic comedy.

I love you all [4 of you].

Kisses.

Um yeah, you sure you want me?

“We thought Tom [Cruise] was the biggest bore on the face of the Earth. … He was tense and made constant, constant unrelated homophobic comments, like, “You want some ice cream, in case there are no gay people there?” I mean, his lingo was larded with the most… There was no basis for it. It was like, “It’s a nice day, I’m glad there are no gay people standing here.” Very, very strange.”
