the everyday adventures of sabrina

• I’m a sheep. Just ponied up $30 to Obama/Biden for the pretty blue t-shirt. #
• Aha. dhcpd “Unknown error 3213217249″ means “Your dumb ass is trying to run this as a user that doesn’t exist.” Oh, of course! #
• @chowbok OMG CUPCAKES WHERE #
• Some days are like this: Open mouth, crankiness spews forth uncontrollably. Like today. #
• @chowbok How is Jenna Jameson like Colonel Sanders? #

• Watching CNBC these days is like watching Days of our Lives. Or, SPLAT!s of our DOOM! #
• Really want to go home and take a nice long refreshing nap. Had too much going on this weekend to get any quality sleep. #
• OMG, WTF, BBQ. #
• jesus, the market reaction to the bailout vote was sudden and severe. It’s like they don’t want to be punished for their own mistakes. #
• Stupid selfish congress, scheduling this vote for LUNCHTIME. I’m hungry, you jerks! #
• I need a beer. This mess today is at least as deserving of being a drinking game as was the debate Friday. #
• My hair has gotten to the point where I remember why I hate long hair, and wonder why I decided to try and get myself some again. #
• And derailing my evening plans of relaxing and sleeping, now I have to work the early shift tomorrow. Wunderbar. #

Dear White Sox Bullpen (and Ken Griffey, Jr.):

Just wanted to let you know — a multitude of regular-season sins can be forgiven through the skillfull execution of October appearances. FYI.

love,
–sabrina.

• Javy Vasquez, you worthless sack of ex-talent. #
• Ok. After seeing the saddest droopiest retreat of shame after hooking vasquez, i almost feel bad for booing him. Almost. #
• This game sucks. :P #
• The worst part about that game is I can’t even say the Indians deserved the win. No, we gave it to them, with our bullpen of MASSIVE SUCK. #
• See, now, *that* was White Sox baseball. #

• Barack Obama was “professorial”? You can totally tell that I’m watching the post-game on PBS. #
• We lost? 8 to 11? Are you serious? #
• Had to implement a drinking game rule — drink every time Obama says “[Senator McCain] is right.” OMG, how do you blow such a basic rule? #
• So drunk. Stupid debate. #
• impression: Obama par, McCain less testy than expected. While McCain still clearly full of lies, McCain +1, Obama par. #
• also, drunky drunky drunk drunk. barack, you need my critiques! #
• Still hate hiccups. Seriously, you have no idea. Hic. #
• May have to rewatch the debate again today, this time with less being plastered. (Can’t help it. Those were the rules.) #
• @smokes70 Target on the weekend = bad. Target on Elston on weekend = HELL. Slack wins! #
• Off to the Sox game tonight. Dear KC: I promise to stop saying such mean things about you all the time if you beat the Twinkies again! #
• @chowbok <3 TPB. Haven’t seen it in ages though! I should netflix it. #

• Dear WaMu customers: I am so sorry to hear you just got eaten by Chase. Get out while the getting’s good, before they fee you to death. #
• @hubbit They did? Seriously? Because they were flat-out lying to you. They’ve been up on the failure fifo for weeks. #
• Dear Cleveland Indians: I would really, really, really, really, really appreciate it if you guys maybe played at like half-power now. #
• Just discovered that IEM won’t allow shorts. Dude, WTF. How am I supposed to make money on Republicans fucking up? #
• My tiniest 403(b), into which I put $455, is now worth $368 years later, down 17%. I thought it was supposed to work differently. #
• This 10-day-old article reads like a Who’s Who of Fail: http://tinyurl.com/4pweq4 #
• Seriously, Grady Sizemore, I’ll let you off my shit list if you take it easy this weekend. You too, Hafner. Probably not you, Peralta. #
• @robotviki Shouldn’t MENSA members know enough to drive away from Cleveland, not *toward* it? #

• Hahahahahahahahahahahahahah. Dude, when Katie Couric eats you for breakfast, you’ve got problems. #
• Goddammit, White Sox. #
• Made two new loans via Kiva today. Totally hopping – site slow enough that between clicking a loan req to loading the page, it was funded! #
• Also, my most recent Prosper loan (and my only one with a high credit rating) is <15 days late, before even the first payment! Bummer. #
• On the bright side, my predictives market positions are totally in the money right now. If only it was real money, I’d have like $40! #
• @smokes70 Plus, I imagine they’d be a little risky during actions such as, say, scratching one’s nose. I’d get declawed! #

hey!

it’s a surprise goodie box, out of the blue! for no apparent reason! which makes it the best sort of surprise goodie box ever! :)

Kim sent me this package, which arrived yesterday. i promptly nommed the licorice (yum!) and crashed my computer trying to upload pictures off the camera (alas). but it recovered and now i have pics to post. such as a closeup of the awesome badge in there:

it is totally going on my bag right now, right next to my awesome new fave obama pin i just got today (supplanting my America’s First Family pin as fave, though that one is not less awesome), which is the infamous Terrorist Fist Jab! because Yes We Can, and Not Only That, But We Will Do It With Good Humor, Suckers!

but i digress. thank you kim! That was an awesome surprise. You rock. :)

• Get it together, Sox. For reals. I will drive those 7 hours to Minnesota to kick your asses if necessary. @writchrd probably will too! #
• Saw a guy in a Nader 08 t-shirt on the way to work. You go, batshit crazy dude. Let us all know how that works out for you. #

• What are the key words if we were going to design a Incompetent Banking Bailout Drinking Game? Apart from ‘leverage’ and ‘deregulate.’ #

• @shadow If you were here (or I were there) I’d buy you one! Instead I guess I’ll have to drink one for you instead. #
• /me shakes her cane, yells at those goddamn kids to get off her ice #
• Endless comedic potential from the “Global War on Shorts” and the “No Shorts List” and so forth. Especially the G. W. on S. #

• @writchrd Why? #
• Ow. TMJ acting up again. Probably stress related. Joy! #

• Jack: “Where’s Linda?” Me: “At the yarn store.” Jack (horrified): “You let her go ALONE?!?” #

• @smokes70 Yes! You are honor-bound to enjoy it twice as much as an ordinary person — to make up for those of us who don’t get to. :) #
• Hobbit sent me http://tinyurl.com/3qo9oo to read because, as he says, clearly I need a man. Also, I am a Rebellious Witch Whore. #
• The longer I am a sysadmin, the more and more I love find(1). #
• @hubbit Yes, but in fairness, it’s only because this medium was made for you. #
• Figuring a 20% wholesale discount, every American could have 7.8 boxes of bulk, unwrapped Smarties candies for the cost of the AIG bailout. #
• That’s 210,186 individual delicious, nutritious Smarties candies per person for every man, woman, and especially child. #

• *whimper* Kids goofing off made me fall ice skating today. My poor knees are submitting a restraining order against returning. #
• @smokes70 I know! So unfair. Want weekend NOW, not later. #
• Amtrak’s site now reporting Mom’s train running about 5h late. So pretty much exactly as expected, honestly. #

• Damn. With the Fed bailing out AIG after all, my bet that the next takeover would be a dark horse no one foresaw is lost. #
• <3 ice skating. So much fun I don’t even mind falling on my butt. #
• @RevPirateDan Was it a better beer than what his own bar stocked? #
• gmail works perfectly on the jesusfone on the first try. Work email? Not so much. #
• poor wasy looks so despondant and defeated by the CTA this morning. #
