snooze time

I am phenomenally tired today. My friend Marie demanded to use my Wifi until 12:30 or 1:00 am today, and then got outside to discover her car had been towed (word of advice: never park on the corner of Lee St and 1st Ave W in Upper Queen Anne, or ...

Narcoleptic in Seattle

I’m not really, but it sounded like a half-decent blog title. Topics: Life iRooster Work Video Games 1. Life Life is good, by and large. I’m a bit more overworked than usual, but I can’t say I’m too surprised by this. It won’t last m...

My 1995 Mazda 626 is horked. And I mean completely a goner. I was in an accident 6 weeks ago that damaged the bumpers and screwed up the trunk. I finally took the car into the shop to have it looked at last week only to find out that it was deeme...
