Being Nice is Stupid: A Lesson Learned from My Cat

Jessica — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:13:53 +0000

My cat is the nicest cat in the world (I'm sorry, she just is -- I will not believe any cat is nicer than my cat). She looooves people, and she is very, very, very good with children. She'll let them pet her for as long as they're interested, even though child-petting is rather similar …

Upgrade

Jessica — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 23:39:53 +0000

Updated the blog to WordPress 2.7. Nice features, like widgetized sidebar (not that that was built in to this ancient theme we use, but it was easy enough to modify it to enable widgets) and dashboard ui improvements. I don't know if the site works any better for you, the reader, but then again I'm …

And now for something completely different... Things I put on my face in the morning that I love (in order): Philosophy Purity Made Simple (ok I rinse this off immediately 'cause it's cleanser, but still) Philosophy Hope in a Tube, under my eyes. Reduces dark circles and puffiness and little lines that only I can …

Drives me crazy

I have eczema. It itches like mad right now. I am fighting with every ounce of self control I possess not to be furiously scratching at the backs of my hands. This sucks. Last night I woke myself up scratching my hand. Did I mention that eczema is extremely attractive? No? That's because it's not. …

Not very much fun at all

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I work in the webby world, and a lot of what I do is move sites from one format to another. What I have before me at this moment is a very, very, very large site. Bonus: it's fairly well-structured, with named divs and such. Now, …

Sad

Today my African Violet gave up the ghost. I wasn't altogether surprised, as it had been ailing for awhile, but I didn't exactly expect it to sort of just fall apart when I was poking at it this morning, attempting to remove dead leaves. Instead of dead leaves I kinda pulled the whole top off, …

Now that's just mean ("jason castro sucks")

Jessica — Fri, 02 May 2008 15:33:03 +0000

Someone got here with the query "jason castro sucks" the other day. Now, I have a couple of questions. First of all, why use a search engine other than Google? You'll find much more relevant results about how much Jason Castro sucks using Google. I actually kind of root for him, in a weird way, …

Microsoft Word is not a good tool

Jessica — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:35:34 +0000

...but it's a better tool than most people are capable of effectively using, apparently. I bet if I asked anyone in an administrative (aka "secretarial") position what his or, more likely, her proficiency level in Word was, he or she would doubtless say "expert." This despite the fact that I have just about never seen …

My feelings about American Idol

Jessica — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 02:28:45 +0000

Because I know you all were desperate to know. David Cook should win. David Archuleta should die in a fire. I'm not particularly invested in what order the other contestants get voted off, though I like Brooke, although I suspect I wouldn't if I knew more about her position on various issues -- does she …

Post Mortem

Jessica — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 03:19:33 +0000

It seems like I ought to write about Christmas, or someone should, and at the moment I'm doing it. The question, though, is what one ought to write--I could write about what I got, which is boring enough to anyone but me (although I highly recommend the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf fat-free no-sugar-added powder, …
