time to drink in the new year
don’t you hate it when you see what looks like an awesome movie on the spanish channel?
the 46% return rate on my 401K in 2009 was pretty sweet… but does it make up for the -52% return in 2008? i think not.
Congrats to soon-to-be Sir Patrick Stewart! http://bit.ly/5Y9RME (this should resolve any Shatner / Stewart debates)

@mattmeis i discovered that driving the STi in snow is HARD b/c it’s nigh impossible to only send a LITTLE power to the wheels

dear drivers of huge SUVs / trucks who slow to 10 MPH to go over a bump in the road: the irony. it’s painful.
@ddahlke the ibex story reminds me of ‘new element’ stories. ‘YEA WE MADE NEW SHIT THAT EXISTED FOR A NANOSECOND BUT IT DID EXIST’
new plan: give all my money to valve. i made 3 separate steam purchases just today! can’t say no to awesome games for ~$5

malfunctioning water heater in my 80 gal tank raised the temp to 95° - RIP jaguar fry. thankfully the parents are badasses and survived.
‘the invention of lying’ - good movie. watch it.
@ameir you can say ‘two thousand ten’ but only if prefaced by ‘the year of our lord’
@ameir did we call it ‘nineteen hundred ninety-nine’ ? case closed.
don’t forget to go out on jan 1 and light it up in a few bars & restaurants… i’ll be smoking up a storm myself

I don’t care if it’s -20° outside; it’s 70° inside and I’m wearing shorts because they are comfortable.
the ultimate put-down, straight from MacGyver’s mouth: “your logic sucks!”
curling up by the fireplace with Remi and a MacGyver movie
i have tried long and hard to ascertain facebook’s algorithm for who shows up on my news feed… and i can’t make any sense of it
@mattmeis nope not yet - where are the instructions to pirate the 3D glasses?
@ameir moon!
‘Law Abiding Citizen’ is the second best movie I’ve seen this year. Don’t watch the trailer b/c it’s full of spoilers.
one reason to love the holidays: no traffic when you’re commuting to & from work
@tab126 the STi for sure - the bike wouldn’t have made it out the driveway.
that was intense. saw numerous wipeouts but somehow no collisions. almost completely lost it in my neighborhood due to black ice.
now that the snow has started sticking to the ground, it’s time to take the STi out for a spin
WTF kind of metaphor is this: “Fire hydrants were buried so deep under snow not even Tiger Woods could have hit them.” - http://idek.net/oMs
2nd year in a row that i ended up with alcohol from the bronto white elephant exchange… i’m not complaining
glad i didn’t order a ‘dick towel’ for white elephant exchange - apparently their production process is lacking http://i.imgur.com/txiGf…
@mattmeis the books are better (the sword of truth series) - i started reading them in middle school, and the finale came out this year!

Avoid making sudden eye contact with the wheel. Do not taunt the wheel. The wheel knows where you live. http://wheelof.com/lunch/
i hate having to devote an undetermined amount of time to a game due to where save points occur. another reason why half life games rock.
borderland dislikes: being shot while reading a mission briefing (why not pause?), unloading all my ammo into a non-boss with little effect
somehow i wore remi out today, letting him run around for 4 hours. that makes it remi: 352, jameson: 3

just purged 17,500 emails from my gmail account and only reclaimed 3% of my used space. bah!
gmail could benefit from an ‘account cleanup’ tool to purge repetitive old emails & those with large attachments. @ 50% full & going up…
the last episode of the cleveland show was actually funny. the extra helping of cursing was a plus.

where do you buy heartworm meds for dogs? best prices i can find (that will ship to a non-vet) seem to be here http://idek.net/mBh
fav interaction w/ a car dealer last week: i call to ask for price and his response is “where are you looking?” I’M LOOKING @ YOU MOTHER!$&#
why do many newly built cars STILL have cassette decks? they’re obsolete and NOT a selling point.
@guntherjh they also don’t tell you that the trick to getting out of it is being a complete dick when asked unrelated IT questions
shirt.woot finagled another $10 out of me today, and $15 out of @goddamndave tomorrow (unless he’s too ashamed to be seen with me)

@braddyg as with every change, there will be an uproar, then fb might backpedal a little bit, but eventually they’ll slip in the changes
@braddyg you’re deluding yourself if you think anything you put on the internet is ‘private’
seems like it takes ~8 hrs for a ‘live feed’ item to become ‘hot’ enough to be promoted to my @facebook news feed. #8hournewslagblows
remi literally crashed my media server just now. by crashing into it at full speed. OS drive is dead; one RAID drive is rebuilding. FFFFUUUU

WRX-hunting was a success today in Charlotte. I found The One and hope to purchase it tomorrow. The owner is a NASCAR engineer.

STis are too awesome. 1st & 2nd picks had both been sold by the time I got to VA beach. Put a deposit on 3rd pick but IDK if I’ll buy. ($$$)
VA Beach road trip for WRX hunting. busting out the new GPS unit. looks like perfect weather to test an AWD car.
