How do these people think that they make sense? I feel like I'm shouting into the void.

Mugge · 2010-02-21, 10:03

Was at a party last night. Someone took my damn shoes and I had to walk home in my socks.

Robo · 2010-02-23, 01:55

Confession: Everyone says I love computers, but I really don't. People think I'm some programming whiz and I really just browse the web :(

---

My dad tells everyone i'm The Computer Geek, which is like being called The Smart One without being complimented. And more tech support duty

---

I hate computers sometimes

---

Like when I spend an hour carefully wording a post and I press backspace when not in the text box and the browser goes back and it erases :(

Capella · 2010-02-23, 02:32

The gyn won't be nice and give me my drugs. What, do I have to come in screaming in agony to her office before she'll believe I'm not just faking my pain, that I need something strong? Doctors fail

Mugge · 2010-02-23, 12:10

The shoes have been found!

God I hate that. All of them but especially the "you're good with computers" bit.

Hell, I build computers and I don't even consider myself "good" with them. Above-average, sure. But "good"? I reserve that for people with CS/CE degrees. And not those bimbos who go into CS because they know how to use a web browser.

#1 reason I wanted to start using Macs was to be able to tell people "sorry, I don't really do Windows" when necessary. It's a very, very, very, very awesome out.

I know, right? The secret to being a "computer genius" is knowing how to use a search engine. Suddenly you are infused with the knowledge of untold millennia!

And then you have to go to the grey aliens to get it out of your brain before it kills you. Or something.

Robo · 2010-03-01, 13:46

On the bus next to two Texans. They're loud and obnoxious and they have a painful accent, but they're happier than I am

Eating some strudel after carving up some runs at St Anton.

(I can see a ski addiction developing.)

Reflected ceiling plans.

709 · 2010-03-04, 14:26

Wondering if "reflected ceiling plans" is architect code for "mirrors above the bed."

murbot · 2010-03-04, 15:15

Polishing off 6 big meatballs that I made last night. Mmmmmmmm.... cowwwwwww. (and I guess, mmmmmm... tomatooooooes)

Robo · 2010-03-04, 16:43

Holy shit, I just almost got ran over by an old guy in a massive van

---

---

---

For the answer to that, see this post. Well, I'll just tell you: no, though I wish it were.

Robo · 2010-03-05, 10:52

so an old guy just swore at me for taking his favorite table at this restaurant. He then sat two tables to my left and has been making loud but unintelligible noises to himself ever since

---

maybe it's the guy who almost ran me over

---

omg, maybe it's ron paul?

Robo · 2010-03-10, 02:20

I'm a full-fledged Twittererer now. If you want you can follow me @robomanwhatever, same as my AIM. I will probably never actually use it, same as my AIM. TBH I signed up because I wanted the extra MacHeist apps

Maybe it will be fun! We'll see.

Laying in bed, one eye mashed closed against pillow, trying to figure out how to get up.

Dreading the 6AM flight, but excited to spend spring break in Austin with old friends.

@tomoe Austin is awesome, I was there for ACL 09 and had a blast.

Went to NC State-Drexel NIT game a few years ago. It was a great time, even though DU lost.

Mugge · 2010-04-08, 14:51

Just saw a couple in the flat across the yard shagging. She didn't pull the curtains and he's doing her from behind. I'll give them some privacy.

kieran · 2010-04-08, 15:29

There used to be a girl that lived next to me in college that would do that kind of stuff all the time. We'd go out on the deck and pull up chairs. She definitely knew we were watching.

Dealing with a frustrated girlfriend who somehow is convinced that I'm the source of her job hunting frustrations

Dudeing out. Beer, horseshoes, MW2, sunshine, and about to start the grill for burgers, dogs, and chicken.
