Everything I used to bore people on newsgroups and mailing lists with, now in one inconvenient place.
I don’t think my employer keeps the heat on during the weekend. And because of that, I’m sitting here at my desk with my winter coat on, but my fingers are stiff from cold. It’s not just annoying, it’s destroying my productivity.
I think I’m going to go home and work there and hope and pray that the office will be warmer tomorrow. But there’s no guarantee. The last time it was this cold in the office it didn’t get comfortable until it had warmed up considerably outside.
Every now and then, especially when I’m facing my own computer problems, I think “why don’t I just give it up and get a Livejournal. And then today every Livejournal page is showing the same text:

If there’s going to be a massive screwup making my blog unavailable, I want it to be *my* screwup, dammit.

…the appeal of J-Pop bands like Shonen Knife? Looked at objectively, it appears they sing the most cloying and inane pop lyrics known to man, and combine it with that English as a second language vibe and accents. Oh, and they’ve not very good playing thier instruments either. So what’s the appeal?
And I should point out, I’m not asking why other people listen to it, I’m asking why I keep finding myself compelled to listen to it?
I think I need a 4 hour Pogues marathon to get my edge back.
In the middle of a media-fueled hyped up scare about people pointing lasers at the cockpits of planes and the danger to the pilots and the flights, NORAD announced a new security system WHICH INVOLVES SHINING LASERS AT THE COCKPITS OF PLANES!
