Something I learned today, whilst bored at work, is that my site looks like absolute urine in internet explorer on a mac. Go me. I guess it's redesign time.
what a long week of nothing but boring stuff. i'm ready for a nice long martin luther king jr weekend. hah. right.
I think I've probabily put some much crud into my hair in the last 10 years that its amazing i'm not bald yet.
jess and i saw a dog on the way back from the gym today. it was nice looking, orange, with tags; i dont know types of dogs, but it looked like a relatively fancy type - not fluffy and stupid, but nice. but it was running around in the middle of Lamar, a busy road, and was narrowly escaping getting smushed. so we followed it, and read its tags, and called its owner. the owner said that "he does it all the time, just let him go and he'll find his way back home".
we let him go. but somehow i fear we did the wrong thing, and the dog is now lying dead in the road.
i dont understand people.
According to Zack, a "redneck corona" is a Bud Light with Lime & Tabasco sauce. I am absolutely hooked on them. Having lived in texas for an accumulative one and a half years, am I officially a hick?
Regardless. Today was fantastic. Slept late, was hungover and fuzzy all day, and started drinking again just now. I like weekends. I can work my body into a good fit of dispair and then spend the rest of the week becoming crisp.
Worked on a layout for Pattsi. It turned out quite nice:



I don't like television. I don't like what it stands for, and I don't like the horrible implications it has on human behavior.
But there is one show which I have been absolutely in love with since it started. Family Guy is the funniest shit on television, and perhaps the funniest thing ever to happen to people. It encompasses hysterical homosexuality jokes, amusing racial slurs, and just funny comic madness with a talking baby. It has a dog that drinks martinis*! I can't do it justice. Go watch.
One of the problems with my job is that it's a creative job, but not quite creative enough to warrent expression. That is - I'm needed, necessary - a necessary and useful team member - but I'm not critical, insightful, or encouraged to innovate. Which, I think, is really the problem with a lot of the web. Save for the few people with vision - the few who understand where this whole thing is going, long term - the web really is a deadlands for creativity. I can suck a big fat paycheck because I can use photoshop, but shit - is it it living?
My next job will be in a restaurant, for $2.62 an hour, where I have to work for my tips.
Go here. Go away.

tee hee
Got this to work [IE only] thanks to his script ..
Now I'm going to the park :)
happy new year.
I made it to the new year; almost didn't, in a number of ways. Hopefully this year will be more level than the last; I got to get married, see all my friends get fired, and go to start two jobs in one year. I don't feel like doing any of it again :P
George Bush, SR or JR, is a fucking jackass. I'm absolutely fed up with this unbridled patriotism, pro america garbage. I get harassed at the airport, nearly run over by big stupid suburban trucks with flags, and pushed absurd propaganda by CNN and every other news outlet.
We need a big fat revolt.
