schmeeveTips
If I like you, and you’re expecting some sort of gift (those of you not expecting babies on my birthday^), send me a wishlist link. It’ll help me out. It’s about a week and a day away from the glorious remembrance of His birth and I have yet to move one finger towards said glorious remembrance presents.* (Seriously, I saw a Foreigner Best Of CD on sale and I lack shame.)
I leave for my Slightly-East-of-Deliverance Christmas on Tuesday, complete with dinner with my cousin who is the ex-wife of this winner.
Pray for me.
* Lori, Carolyn, Mason: gotcha covered.
^ yes, on my birthday or there abouts little baby Jake is due. Granted, his name should of been schmeeve, but I’m not splitting hairs
Iraq’d
Seeing as The Decider has decided he can’t bother himself with these pesky things during the holidays, it’s important to remember that whatever happens, even if there’s an army of magical peace unicorns in waiting, the pattern will continue to repeat itself:
1. Declare that we must stay in Iraq to prevent some Bad Thing from happening.
2. Bad Thing happens anyway.
3. Declare that we must stay in Iraq to prevent some Worse Thing from happening.
4. Worse Thing happens anyway.
5. Reiterate sequence.
At no point does the “Sensible Center” consider that the previous failures implicate our ability to fulfill the new mission, which is always paradoxically grander in scale while being a retreat from previous ambitions.
Oh, SNAP!
…just found out there’s nudity on Flickr.
Gonna be a long night.
Happy 30th tomorrow Carolyn! Welcome to my decade!
Happy Property Tax Day!
About a month ago, I hit my 1 year anniversary as a home owner. Yay me..
Today’s the city’s holiday F-U: property taxes due. I realize bitching about this is about as interesting as watching your grandma have sex, but for all that money, why can’t the city at least fix fucking MUNI and wash the human filth off the streets once a month or so? Is that asking so much?
This house’ll make a Republican out of me yet!
Did I just hear….
…Wesley Snipes’ lawyer say “we’ve been emplaned for the last 65 hours” on CNN?
I guess that’s technically correct, but do you have to be, so, um, ethmanical about it? Who the hell uses that word?
Also, it’s worth mentioning the longest passenger flight recorded is somewhere under 23 hours. Believe it was a 777 from HKG to LHR.
65 hours. Horse pucky.
TiVo DRM Cracked
Get to it before the lawyers do!
On a Mac:
tar xvf tivodecode-0.1.2 cd tivodecode-0.1.2 make clean make tivodecode
The binary’s in objects.dir. Galleon’s good for pulling, VLC will play it, use ffmpegx or something to convert if you want QT/iPod friendly.
TiVo’s got no one to blame but themselves after having no TiVo2Go for the Mac for like 2 years. I’m surprised it took as long as it did.
Karl Rove takes bath with toaster
Well, at least he should be.
But, I will not gloat.
Okay, perhaps a little. People I no longer have to suffer:
- “Man-on-dog” Rick Santorum.
- Mike DeWine
- Ken Blackwell
- Richard Pombo
- George Allen
- Gov Pataki
- Gov Romney
- Jon Kyl
- Katherine Harris
- Conrad Burns
Oh, yeah, and Rumsfeld. Buh-bye.
Please, oh God please, let the door hit you on the way out.
*happy dance*
And “liberal” media? We got you too — we took both houses.
Thankfully, sycophant Lieberman will suck up to the Democrats now that they’re in the majority.
My hit list for the next election(s):
- James Inhofe
- Marilyn Musgrave
- Tubemeister Stevens
- Sam Brownback
- “I attack limbless vets!” Saxby Chambliss
- Tom “illegal abortions” Coburn
- John Cornyn
- Peter King
- Saint McCain
- Trent Lott
- Obvious Alzheimer victim, Jim Bunning
- …and Droopy Dog, Joe Lieberman
But I will not gloat.
