the everyday adventures of sabrina

• Note to self: if thinking ‘maybe the ryan won’t be too bad,’ stop immediately. Sigh. #
• @suchagirl If you haven’t read his book Liars Poker, pick it up. A good read, & it really helps give backstory for the meltdown concepts. #
• Hah. Just learned am apparently the #1 listener to Cracker on last.fm. Funny thing is, never really listened to Camper Van at all! #
• Just programmed the TiVo for Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Am really looking forward to watching grainy 1964 claymation… in HD. #
• Feel somewhat let down by the sparsity of the snow today. Rain is boring. I wanted fluffy fat piles of snow covering everything! #

• @mizmoose Well, as I was late to hear about the phenom in the first place, it seems appropriate that I was late to hear of its pinnacle. #
• Obama: Vote No on yappy dogs! http://tinyurl.com/5mgbzv #
• Hahaha. Fastweb still had my profile from when I used to work there ~7 years ago. I have 15 potentially matching scholarships! Woot! #
• Just bought carbon offsets for my 2008 mileage. I feel like I should be eating granola RIGHT NOW, while wearing disgusting patchouli. #

• @writchrd I know! I saw a Citgo in Pullman where it was like 1.96 for regular. I am officially freaked out by this. #
• fun with rsync, merging multiple music repos together to create one iTunes Music Library to rule them all. Stupid slow home wifi. #
• Just realized that all my home wireless gadgets /except/ the base station support g. Hm. #
• Michael Lewis on recent events: http://tinyurl.com/64mm8l #

just did a little math. after accounting for utilities and associated housing costs, ${current living arrangement} costs me around $340/mo, or slightly more than $4k/yr, more than ${previous living arrangement}. but it saves me between 20-80 minutes commuting daily (plus my 20 minutes of walking usually don’t make me want to commit homicide nearly so much as the blue line), and i actually like this apartment and landlord and the whole not having to move my car on street cleaning day (or, coming soon, dig it out of any snowbanks) thing.

so while i am not saying that i wouldn’t mind having an extra four grand laying around, i think it has all worked out pretty favorably. also, the view from my balcony is fantastic.

• Drawback of living off State Street? Parade people won’t let me sleep late. Shut up with the drumming at 6AM! Have some sympathy! #

• Figure skating, it turns out, SO MUCH HARDER than they make it look on teevee. #
• @shadow Vixie looks like a Russian mobster. Is he going to shoot me for saying nasty things about his implementation of cron? #
• @mizmoose But he looks really angry and scary in that pic! #
• Why do people always think it’s reasonable to suggest sysadmins spend (insert holiday) working instead of holidaying? I want turkey too! #
• @smokes70 http://www.religiondispatches.org/blog/sexandgender/755/ #
• @mizmoose Hmf. That is not acceptable. What are you doing Saturday? #

• Digging new Kanye. #
• il neige encore. :( #
• And the question as to how Mr. X will find a way to fuck something up for me gets its answer. Hooray! #
• Dear Congress: So, this whole bailout scheme doesn’t really seem to be working. Can you stop trying now? Just admit defeat, and stop. x, -s. #
• @mizmoose That is strange but … strangely compelling, too. What sort of munchies do you serve with chips n’ salsa beer? #
• @robotviki Very nice! Where is that? #

• Some days it really doesn’t pay to answer the question “I wonder how far my 401(k)s have fallen today?” Ouffff. #
• It is 20°F out there; windchill 14. On 21 Nov. Winter is an overachiever, and I do not approve. Also I don’t know if I can find a hat. #
• @jacklund Information space? Is that some new productivity buzzword I should be aware of, at least so I can mock it? #
• Having some quality reflection time on various things that suck a lot, and not coming to very many useful conclusions about them at all. #

• Ah, so it’s the fourth whiskey that bids me buy cigarettes – good to know! #
• The really funny thing here is how much the Houston Rockets’ logo resembles the Buffy logo. #
• @GeorgeDickel Ah, nicely done! #
• Finished a bottle of Bowmore I’ve had for, oh, three years at least. I feel deprived. Must hit Sam’s for more Scotch soon. #
• SANTA TRAIN SANTA TRAIN SANTA TRAIN!!!! http://tinyurl.com/5p27oc #

• If only TiVo partnered with someone with good pizza I actually patronize. http://tinyurl.com/6crrap #
• Also, how much do I love that that last tinyurl, about Dominos Pizza, says “crrap”. Hah. Even TinyUrl thinks Dominos sucks! #
• Today is, much like yesterday, a day of sustained computer fail. #
• Paulson… yammer… yammer… yammer… OMG SO BORING. #

• Eh bien, je suis très fatiguée après travailler et trois classes aujourd’hui. Maintenant, enfin : le dîner! #
• Porting kernel modules spec files from redhat to opensuse kmp. I need more coffee for this. #
• Hah. People at work didn’t believe me when I referenced soft drinks being referred to as ’sodie.’ The interwebs back me up, though! #
