…has always squicked me out.
wetware \WET-wair\ noun

It makes me think of the kinds of noises you’d hear if someone opened up your skull and went poking about in your brain.
Just so you don’t think I fell of the earth, I’m still here, and I’m still attempting to deal–although I’m not necessarily dealing well.
I’m still having a rough time with my medication–in fact I left a message for the doctor to call me, because I think I’m doing worse than I was when is started [...]
Memorial Day is the day we are to remember those who fought for our country. This is the day we remember those who fought for our freedom and for justice. This is the day we remember those who gave their lives to so that we might now have:
freedom of speech….
freedom of religion….
freedom of association….
freedom of [...]
What a complete asshat.

After a month and a half of phone calls and hair pulling, a new DSL modem, multiple checks by Earthlink and Verizon, and finally a new line from the telephone pole to the house after we eventually had difficulty with our phone service, we finally have stable Internet!
As a complete and total geek, you can’t [...]
Or perhaps not.
I’m not sure how much I’m going to be posting for awhile.
I’m still having problems with my depression, and so don’t really have much to say other than things along the line of, “woe is me,” which may be amusing the first time, because it’s not like you hear the word “woe” [...]
West Virginia least like the rest of the country!
No kidding.
Here are the bottom five:
Kentucky 47
Vermont 47
New Hampshire 49
Mississippi 50
West Virginia 51
We’re still having internet problems at home. (At this point, we get about 30 seconds of connectivity, then crash.)
So until things are better, enjoy this:
Bound for Glory: American in Color 1939-1943
This is probably my favorite picture. It’d be just as interesting in black and white as in color.

So, we’re now watching Star Trek: The Next Generation, and of course we’ve started with Season One, which is only marginally better than Season 2, which I find… horrific.
However, while watching the pilot, I realized why I find the character of Wesley Crusher so grating–he’s a Mary Sue.
Lo and behold, I look up Mary [...]
As I was walking from the ATM to the cafeteria, I noticed that one of the signs I regularly passed had two words in English that you never want to see together.
Emergency Dentistry
I can’t think of any dental emergency that would be anything less than horrific.
And there’s your reminder to make sure you floss every [...]

sparagmos noun [mass noun]
the dismemberment of a victim, forming a part of some ancient rituals and represented in Greek myths and tragedies.
— origin Greek, literally ‘tearing’.
I think the most disturbing part is the idea that it happened so often that they needed a word for it.
Went to pick up my prescription yesterday.
Cash price was $133. My cost? $110.
I am really hoping that was just me needing to meet my deductible. Though things like this are why Michael and I live under our income level. As much as one doesn’t like spending $110 out of nowhere, at least we have [...]
This is the truth.
Especially the bit about whiskey.
(for more information, see here.)
And today’s spam winner is:
Mr. Watson! Come here! I need you!
Doctor: So do you ever have thoughts about hurting other people?
Me: I did mention that I do software support, didn’t it?
It was a people watching extravaganza this evening in Morgantown.
As I was walking to meet my co-workers for dinner we passed two intoxicated white trash guys having a yelling match in a parking lot off High Street (Townies: Daniel’s parking lot near where the “Steppin’ Out” mural used to be). I say intoxicated because not [...]
A gladiator graveyard was discovered at Ephesus.
The Ephesus graves containing thousands of bones were found along with three gravestones, clearly depicting gladiators.
