Publius & Co.

I've found out a little. . .

Thanks to Susie, Jennifer, and Jaws, I've found out a little about what's been going on in the 'sphere since I was at the beach (and you weren't):

1. Emperor Misha has become an editor;
2. Darn near everyone else has been making df1lms with lots of in-jokes;
3. Jennifer is trying to change Frank J.'s nickname from Frnak to monkey-boy.

Since it's lunchtime, I've continued my saga to find out more of what's been happening in the blogosphere, in Back from Vacation Too: Blogosphere Boogaloo.

Everybody's doing it.

About time I started, too.

Back from Vacation

Part 1 of a series. Maybe.

About time!

Just for Jennifer, I've finally finished my post about my rats. Of course, I started it two weeks ago; after editing and all kinds of other stuff, I figured I'd better get this post up while Jennifer still gave a rat's @$$ (heh). Anyway, because I saved it as a draft, and didnt' cut-and-paste and just went ahead and published it, it's in my archives on the day I originally started it: July 28, right about here. Enjoy!

Poetic Justice

You know how I've been bragging about being at the beach while no one else is?

It's raining. It's been raining all day; on Tuesday it rained for half the day. It rained one night and I left the sunroof vent on my car open.

Still, it's a @#$% of a lot better then being at work.

If you'd like some pictures of my vacation, my gf has posted some at her blog. I haven't posted any pics because, basically, we're on a dialup.

More Vacation Blogging!

Contrary to what Susie thinks, I'm still on vacation. About a day and a half to go, still. Sorry I haven't posted any pix; maybe I will, maybe I won't.

But I did want to pass on this Important Safety Tip: Never drink an incredible amount of alcohol, argue with your husband about how much you drink, then decide to prove something to him by lying down in the middle of Coastal Highway to continue your argument. Trust me on this one: You'll lose the argument.

Evolution 1, Drunk 0. Funny how that happens a lot.

Vacation blogging.

I'm still at the beach, and you're not. I'll post some pictures later.

I'm back!

I'm back from Iowa where I visited Susie for a short time. Sadly, I got there just as she was heading into her template, so I didn't bother to stick around since I knew I wouldn't see her for days. I did snap this picture, tho, as she headed in:

You won't see too much of me at all for awhile; I'm heading to the beach and you're not. If I post anything, they'll be beach pictures and you'll be jealous. Ha.

More searches!

Well, search, anyway. Yahoo! is chump change; Google, OTOH, is Big Time. My first Google search hit was: mentos video joke.

Publius & Co. was number four! Sadly, my link for the Mentos satire commercial is now dead. If anyone has found a working one, could I trouble you to leave it in the comments. Thanks very much.

I think this is how Susie feels.

I'm putting this in the "Other people's misery" category, though it would be more correct to say, "My misery." I just don't feel like creating another category (I will if I keep being miserable, tho--and thru TypePad, I can change or add a posted post to a different/another category. Neat, eh?).

Basically, for all practical purposes, I just got home. Bedtime was about twenty minutes ago.

See, the other hardware guy is on vacation, so I'm doing a double workload. Not that big a deal, really, but it gets draining after. . .uhhh. . .three days. Left a little late, get home, the gf was home late, no one feels like cooking. . .so it's off to FedEx to pick up the package they didn't deliver, then to dinner with the gf's mom (and I ate waaay too much, just as I got within three pounds of my target weight-loss goal)(I'm still down over forty pounds from 30 months ago, tho, but the beach is coming up next week), then my parent's house, then the pet store (they were out of Cell Sorb), then come home, talk to Rat Witter, scritch some other rats, balance the checkbook. . .and get to read a blog or two, and I realize I'm farking dead.

Susie has a twelve-hour day today, dealing with the public, so I really shouldn't complain. But I did anyway.

My first search search engine hit!

I had my first search engine hit! Publius & Co. was the second hit when someone did a Yahoo! search on "wedding + Outside + Indianappolis." Welcome, stranger, and I hope you found what you were looking for--though I suspect it wasn't here.
