Heh, heh… Sock it to ’em Graham!!!!!

Better yet, put ’em all in their place!

Personal Note: Three back-to-back-to-back court hearings this week. The last two fared well, almost miraculous. Tomorrow is the biggest, scariest one of them all. Your prayers & good thoughts will be greatly apreciated, as this one is for all the marbles!

A Day In The Life….

Did typical “Web Designer”-type stuff today:

  • Put up “Coming Soon” Pages for Website #37. Nothing spectacular. It looks a little funny in Netscape (*cough*because they suck*cough*), but it’s just a temporary place holder with all the pertinent information in the metatags so it’ll be ready & rarin’ to go with the search engines when it launches in a few weeks… (I’m not only getting paid, but a ton of FREE products from Rubin Enterprises… NYAH! NYAH!)
  • Before you all scream “BAD HUSBAND!”, Website #36 is still in the works that will all go up at once… so SHADDAP!
  • Picked up the latest updates for Gresser Realty’s listings…that’ll be up tomorrow.
  • Went to a job site to finish clearing up roofing debris.

    (Note to self: Licking an Asbestos shingle on a dare…
    SURE it may seem really fucking funny now….)


Gossip around CyberTown….

  • OOH! Juicy Gossip, involving SEX!
    And you all wonder why I love Tammy’s Web Spinner so much!
  • Get well soon to The Webmistress‘ daughter.
    (Rumor has it, she suffered her concussion battling Terrorists who were planting a bomb in a soccer field, or something…. Well, you know how fast Jo talks!)
  • Jeff Clark asked me a question today… he asked a lot of people the same question. Expect something colossally-monumentously-HUMONGOUS coming out of the Internet Brothers’ site soon… (But you didn’t hear it from me…SHHHH!)
  • Sorry to hear about your dad, Graham. I’m sure he’d be proud as hell of you.
    Reading Goodbye Mommy had a similar effect on me too. My mom never got to see any of her grandchildren, and it was the one thing she had always looked forward to…I wonder how many people picked up a phone, or remembered their parents after reading that story?

    Well, Mat FUckRock1 … in answer to your question? Because Zeldman writes from the heart, and hits the bullseye everytime.

Romeo & Juliet (As butchered by the Texas Community Theatre)

“…Whut light through yonner window busts? It is th’ east, an’ Juliet is th’ sun, as enny fool kin plainly see. Arise, fair sun, an’ kill th’ envious moon, Who is already sick an’ pale wif grief, Thet thou her maid art far mo’e fair than she: Be not her maid, on account o’ she is invious; Her vestal livery is but sick an’ green An’ none but fools does wears it; cast it off. It is mah lady, O, it is mah love! O, thet she knowed she were! She speaks yet she says nothin’: whut of thet? Her eye discourses; ah will answer it. ah’s too bold, ’tis not t’me she speaks: Two of th’ fairess stars in all th’ hevvin, Havin’ some business, does entreat her eyes To twinkle in their sphars till they return, as enny fool kin plainly see. Whut in tarnation eff’n her eyes were thar, they in her haid? Th’ brightness of her cheek’d shame them stars, As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in hevvin W’d through th’ airy region stream so bright Thet birds’d sin’ an’ reckon it were not night. See, how she leans her cheek upon her han’! O, thet ah were a glove upon thet han’, Thet ah might touch thet cheek! Fry mah hide! ”

Weekend Surf Picks

  • PizzaDude – This site is just too cute! I love it. Download free fonts, clip art and more. Designed by Jakob Fischer, not only a kindergarten teacher in Denmark, but obviously a very talented designer & artist as well.(See what happens when you say nice things in my guestbook?)
  • Goodbye Mommy – Jeffrey Zeldman heartbreakingly struggles and seeks closure with his mom’s condition. She’s had Alzheimers for a number of years now. I can tell you from lots of good folks I’ve had to watch endure this… You don’t know what pain is, until the woman who has brought you into the world looks at you like you’re a total stranger. And you can’t do a damn thing about it. It’s like a part of you has been erased, in the cruelest practical joke nature has yet to fling at us.

    “My Mom loved me when I was a baby. She loved me when my brother came along. She loved me when I was a teenaged drug addict. A promising college student. A hopeful young writer. An ad man. A drunk. She loved me, she loved me, she loved me. That’s what Moms do.”

    As always, I wish the very best to you and your Dad, my friend.

Nipple Rings anyone?

I just finished wiping off the iced tea that I just spewed all over my screen.

I just caught a glimpse of the “Halcyon” font at Printfont, with his little, uh, “dingbats” and I totally lost it!!! OMG, HAHAHA!!! I love that guy! I had to download it.

I already have Heather’s. I use it to write steamy love letters to myself, and then I leave ’em around the house for Carole to find.

I’m an insensitive bastard that way.

Hey Jo, is a Webmistress font coming out soon? Your new checks from the bank came here by mistake. :0)

Moving on….

Got a message from my mom via my new Microsoft® Ouija Board :

"Stop playying rough with the wimpey kidz in the playground…"

I think I’m off to find some new friends to clown around with, instead of wasting my links on you dorks…
(I never said my mom was the best speller!)

Happy “Get Lost” Day!

Can anybody please tell me the point of “Columbus Day”????

Leif Erickson and Amerigo Vespucci were here waaaay before him, and the so-called “Indians” also beat him here by, like, 40,000 years… so what’s the big deal? He set out for a shorter route to the Indies; and after months of his crew, living on a steady diet of vermin, going: “Uh…helloooooo..? You sure you did this ‘exploring/captain’ stuff before, pal??!!???… he lands on the other side of the planet.

The guy was a friggin’ moron. Simple as that.

And he didn’t land in what we would call “America” either. He landed somewhere in
(Oh, get this!) The WEST Indies.

Talk about covering up a SERIOUS FUCK-UP!!!!
It gives me hope that *I’LL* get a holiday someday.

So I’m hearing everyone wishing each other “Happy Columbus Day” today. And that’s it.

Now I feel like we should be doing something with this “third day off” besides winterizing our summer places. But what?

  • Sit at a table and give thanks to the Lord that we screwed the Indians over… oh wait, that’s Thanksgiving.
  • Give out gifts. But what? Fried Rats? A Compass?
