I don’t recommend answering emails when you’re really, really, really, really tired and/or it’s late at night. By that logic, I should never answer emails. I just spent the past hour writing inane notes to my DJ on the form he sent for me to give him relevant information about really “important” wedding-type shit like “Will anyone be giving a blessing?”. FYI – the answer to this should not be…

With the wedding looming ever closer, people have started asking many questions… but mostly the same questions over, and over, and over again. So, I’ve decided to post my answers to the most common questions I’ve been getting. . How is the wedding planning going? I haven’t done anything in months, I figure it will just come together magically at the last minute. . Oh you have a wedding planner,…

How (Not) to Plan a Wedding

My fiance (Nick) and I got engaged on Christmas Eve of 2016 in Dublin, Ireland. It was beautiful, and amazing, and the first words out of my mouth were “Fuck you!”, but that’s a long story for another time. Once engaged, we proceeded to do zero planning. New Years rolled by, I bought a dress sometime in January, and on Valentine’s Day we ordered our wedding bands, but made no progress on anything…

Brain: WOOOO!!! MONDAY MORNING!!! GET PUMPED!!! YEAH!!! Me: omg, seriously, shut up and go back sleep, we’ve still got 14 minutes and 37 seconds of snooze left until the alarm goes off again Brain: But don’t you wanna get up and DO STUFF??? Your neighbors are all doing stuff, we should probably get up and do stuff Me: No, I want to back to sleep… unless it’s the rock-throwing kid, in which case I…

How to Cat – Chapter One: Puking on the Floor

There are few things more joyous than the shriek of a human who has just landed one of their garish, primitive walking stalks in a giant pile of feline vomit.  But are you really getting your retching’s worth?  Here are some simple tips to maximize the effectiveness of your emissions.

Timing is everything

Monday mornings are always the best.

Nights when the humans stay up later than normal are…

Dear eBay: You Suck.

I have recently taken on the responsibility of managing an eBay store.  At first I was all like “Yay, fun! I love responsibility!”, but eBay’s inability to create cohesive, consistent, intuitive, or useful UIs, links, or information has left me spitting mad and ready to throw my monitor across the room.

Here’s my second angry submission via eBay’s “Tell us what you think” link…

All I needed to do…

McDonald’s HappyMeals are a coveted treat for children everywhere.  That said, I have a huge problem with the way they handle toys.

When I was a kid – there was one set of toys available at any given time.  If Spiderman was the thing, you got a spiderman toy.  If it was HotWheels that week, you got a HotWheels toy.  No one asked your mom what gender child the toy was for, they just grabbed out of…

I Love My Dev Team… I Swear…

Me: Software is crashing when attempting to save order (see attached screenshots), was able to save without payment, but is getting message “Declined! (Error: 0 Transaction Normal) when attempting to capture payment after saving. Is this a straight decline or a problem with the payment gateway?

Dev1: Payment method used?

Me: visa

Dev1: Yes, card is declined. Latest release of software will…

Happy International Women’s Day… here’s a rant about underwear.

I flipped on the tv today to see a Victoria’s Secret commercial “Introducing the t-shirt bra” like it was the highlight of the World’s Fair or something.  Are there really people out there who don’t know about t-shirt bras?  A t-shirt bra isn’t even a real thing, it’s a gimmick… like canned water or fix-a-flat, it’s just NOT a push-up bra, right? I also feel that my intelligence and mental acuity…

One of my friends sent me the link to this extension for Google Chrome called “libdoge”. It doge-ifies any webpage you happen to be looking at. This made my day… and most likely my week, as well.

5:00 AM – go to bedroom door, mew softly a few times to let humans know it’s almost food time

6:00 AM – go to bedroom door, mew not so softly a few more times, at least until humans start moving around. Ya know… just to make sure they’re still alive in…

I don’t think so, and neither does the Salvation Army.  It has recently come to my attention that a rash of nasty rumors have cropped up, attempting to convince people that the Salvation Army believes all LGBT people should be put to death.

I’m playing on easy mode, but this really isn’t my kind of game so I wasn’t sure what to expect.  Also, I tend to forget that I’m getting shot at… until I’m dead.

First Mission

Butch marine chick needs to die… the “SIR! YES, SIR!” is so annoying.

PINKSPIK…

I have a gaming problem… I think I may need help… like a clone of myself, or extra hours in the day, or maybe a reprieve from the need for sleep, or work… or both.

Earlier this year I finished BioShock (the original) and then started on my quest to play…

Laziness to the n-th

DISCLAIMER >>> Any time I refer to ‘Mustang’ in my blog, I’m referring to the car – I love horses,…

The most terrifying moment in a game for me is when I’m just sneakin’ along a long, straight passage in a dungeon, everything is quiet and appropriately dungeon-esque, when out of nowhere…

Sneak Level Increased!

This presents a problem for me on a number…
