1. wikipediafs hurt niqui’s brain. LiveJournal userinfo grumpy-sysadmin consoled me:
    martini for niqui
    hooray for martinis!
  2. i missed out on buying a ticket when they went on sale, and i passed up one opportunity to pick one up from someone trying to sell one, but then today another opportunity came up, and, going on the history of recent events — wherein upon denying myself something i wanted (but decided i couldn’t spare the cash for it) i received a parking ticket the next day — i ponied up and snagged a ticket for the radiohead show next monday at the auditorium theatre. so now i am poorer, but i will feel vindicated when i do not get a parking ticket tomorrow morning (or if i do, at least i know i have something to be pleased about).
  3. for those who have found me hard to schedule social things with, i am playing with Google Calendar, and have a publicly-available calendar now. i note a distressing lack of baseball in my immediate future. get to it, folks.
  4. my (real) mobile, which has been unworky for the past few days because in my proven-unreliable-yet-still-unavoidable optimism i trusted at&t cingular sbc at&t to do the right thing when i asked them to consolidate my mobile and landline phone bills, resulting in my cell phone being “cancelled” (!!!) and a many customer service agents-long adventure through phone trees, supposedly might be working again by tomorrow. (they said 24-48 hours yesterday, but it’s been 24 now and it’s still not back on, so i’m guessing they’re going to use up the entire window, if not more!) if you don’t have my other mobile number and need it, email me.
  5. am going to go see his latest vehicle tomorrow, mostly because while i am not a particular fan of Jack Black, i am a fan of seeing movies with friends. fortunately, going in to films with low expectations can result in not being too disappointed, so that’s what i’m hoping for here.
  6. Yarn Car. check it out. ’nuff said.
  7. i had to bring two changes of clothes to work today. two! one because of softball, and the other because i’m going to the cso right after that. this is a new changing-clothes-at-work record for me, thankfully.
  8. that is all.
