Oh look, its a rare friends only post. One where I will issue 1555 words of free flowing self assessment, self loathing and self doubt: So once upon a time, more than 12 years ago (Jay-Z, have I gotten old) I decided that despite CMU recruiting me for it, and despite everyone and their brother…

So, the Vagabond has been in the shop again. This time what I thought was a bad starter is actually a bad fuel pump. And of course, in order to fix that, that involves ripping out the whole fuel module and replacing it, because Chevy likes to do things like that. On a good note,…

dislocating my shoulder… ow…. Damn, I wish I was smart. Actually, it wasn’t nearly as bad this time as it was when I did it before. And at least I did it on a move that I had never tried before this time, instead of something I had been doing for over a decade. Oddly,…

I thought it was clear in other posts, but people keep asking me, so just so everyone knows, Jammy Jam is not this weekend (as much as I wanted it to be). It will be Saturday, the 14th of August. I’ll try to send invitations out sometime this weekend. In the meantime, anyone have any…

given the popularity of my last post, I was tempted to never post about anything but breakfast foods ever again. But, I have a question I could use some help with. On sitcoms, whenever someone is about to reach a ten year milestone birthday, they always have this list they pull out that they wrote…

by mav • • 3 Comments
so since the general consensus seems to be to postpone Jammy Jam until the 14th, beststephi and georgejas have suggested that we go rafting for my birthday. So who wants to go rafting on either the 31st or the 1st?

so the date of August 14th has also been suggested as a day which is better for some people. And that may be a possibility. So the options now stand at July 31, August 7th and August 14th. Who can make what? Opinions?

so for a while now, I have been planning to have Jammy Jam on July 31st, so that I could turn 30 and celebrate my birthday at actual midnight. However some people (who shall remain nameless so I can protect their identities as ludimagist and marsinthestars) have expressed an inability to be here on that…

And the custom of job flip flopping coincident with parties continues. I was made an offer for a programming job by Combinenet. It seems to be a pretty nice place and seeing as how I have no actual prospects for having money for things like food, bills and most importantly beer, I figured I might…
