While La was in Iowa, one night I was feeling very full and reading up on appetite control and weight loss and realized I wasn't drinking any water. As a matter of fact, whenever I was thirsty I was drinking either a latte or coffee. I decided I ought to drink more water.
Only thing is the only worthy water bottle companion that I've got is an Endeca Nalgene job that Mike gave me, filled with BPA no doubt. He's a dick like that. So I needed a new one and I hunted down this jobber.
And, yeah, the pain is starting to come back a bit. I was waiting in line at they gyro joint down the street and I had to do the bend over thing a few times because my leg was hurting. And the walk there wasn't all that pleasant, not as pleasant as it has been walking around town the past few weeks.
It's almost like I've got my own private Flowers for Algernon going down over here.
I don't want anymore pills, don't want anymore shots, and I don't want to do anything if it isn't working. I'm in a pickle. I really don't want anymore pills. And man those shots really effing hurt like balls. Dang dude, the last time they really really hurt, an unspeakable and indescribable pain that I've never felt before and don't want to feel again.

Is like the most fun thing ever. Someone just emailed me to check if I ever sent them a button graphic they'd requested a week ago. I haven't done it yet because I've got all kinds of big stuff on my plate at the moment. I replied with a simple "no".
I realize this is completely assholean. That's kind of like "boolean" except without the "bo" and with "assh" instead.
I'm wearing my favorite long sleeved shirt today that I pulled out of the questionable pile this morning. It passed the La smell test but I'm getting transient whiffs of something and I'm thinking it is the shirt. See that's the downside of having an office to yourself. Transient whiffs are all you, just a question of what exactly.
While picking up the family at the airport yesterday, I must have yelled "douche" a hundred times in traffic, at other cars. I've had lots of trouble with my work macbook pro of late, and every time I get off the phone with the guy trying to help me out, I say "douche". The Red Sox are in town for a series against the Mariners and there's Boston fans wandering around down here taking pictures of everything and when I see them, I think "douche".
While driving into the parking garage this morning, I was stuck behind a slow old lady in an old Ford Taurus and I found myself singing "douche-diddy-douche-diddy-diddy-douche-douche" while following her.
I don't know why or how this got started and I'm certain it could be worse, just not sure how.
I'm picking the gang up at the airport right after work. I can't wait. Seriously, being alone all weekend I was beginning to lose my mind. I watched, oh... ten episodes of Deadwood? I ate a whole pack of gum in one sitting. I ordered $40 worth of crap from the pizza joint down the street on Saturday for dinner (stretched to Sunday breakfast and lunch). And I don't think I showered yesterday but I'm not altogether sure on that one.
After much resetting, reloading, and troubleshooting, I've found that what's killing my battery life on my iphone is the wifi. If my wifi is on and I surf, my battery life goes out the window. I typically leave wifi off if I'm not using it but the moment I turn it on and start surfing the battery level plummets. On the other hand, I can turn on bluetooth and leave it on forever and my battery life is just fine, maybe even better than before the 2.0 update. Very very strange.
I'm having an irritating morning. I needed a font for my mac, reached out to the design community here looking for this font (for mac), and they sent me a link to the of version of the font. This version is an old version that isn't compatible both ways.
I hunted high and low, couldn't find it here anywhere and FontSuitcase couldn't do anything with it. I wound up downloading Font Explorer which has a feature that'll identify the font you need and allow you to purchase it from
Linotype. Cool enough, worked fine. Instead of just buying the one version I needed, I figured i'd get a small set for $95. When I opened my file I still got the error that the font was missing. WTF?
Figuring I bought the wrong set, I went back and purchased the single font. Activated the font and got an error that there was a version already active. It was worse than buying the wrong font... I purchased the correct font twice.
And because I didn't get approval beforehand and because I effed up so badly, I'm not going to expense it and suffer the humiliation of explaining myself. So mad. Apoplectic.
