Posted on September 20, 2010 by baudattitude

It’s rare that my wife makes me sit down and read something funny on the internet.  Usually she’s content to describe funny things, or occasionally forward me a particularly amusing cat picture, but she doesn’t make me read anything longform … Continue reading →

Not that I imagine people out there are breathlessly awaiting my next post, but things should be getting back to normal around here now that we’re done moving. We’re learning that being in a house instead of an apartment comes … Continue reading →

Moving Blues…

Posted on April 19, 2010 by baudattitude

Actually, “Blues” isn’t the right emotional color. I’m not particularly depressed about moving, I just rather wish it was done with.  Is there a color for apathy-trending-towards-frustration?  Let’s call it orange.  I’ve got the moving oranges. I haven’t quite got … Continue reading →

Preserving through Destruction

Posted on January 6, 2010 by baudattitude

So as I mentioned a few days ago, I’ve been tossing an awful lot of paper into the recycle bin, stuff that I’ve kept around from move to move over the last couple of decades. I really haven’t made THAT … Continue reading →

Deep Thoughts on an anniversary

Posted on January 2, 2010 by baudattitude

I became an anime fan in late 1990, a bit over 19 years ago.  That’s not the anniversary I’m talking about, though, but it’s an important point to make.  I’ve spent most of the intervening years buying and hoarding anime … Continue reading →

Posted on January 2, 2010 by baudattitude

As of two days ago, I had four bins of cables / computer parts, neatly labeled as “AV Cables”, “Pasocon Cables”, “Pasocon Parts” and “Mynock Chow”. Now I have two bins.  I condemned an awful lot of S-video cables, Cat-5 … Continue reading →
