How Michael Bay ruined my childhood

December 28th, 2007 · 4 Comments · How To Annoy Me, detroit, reviews

As a kid, I loved watching the old Transformers cartoon, I had Transformers toys, and thought Transformers were better than GI Joe (blasphemy, I know).
I got C an up-converting DVD player for Christmas, and we thought what better movie to test out 1080i on our TV than with the Michael Bay directed 2007 live action/CG [...]

Holidaze

December 24th, 2007 · 1 Comment · life, married life

I was going to write about the intricacies of dealing with the holidays now that our first official married Christmas is here, but, alas I don’t think it’s all that different from the 8 other years we dated…
Regardless, Christa and I (and Monty & Bailey too!) wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Now [...]

Should obviously be removed from someone’s Christmas list

December 20th, 2007 · 1 Comment · How To Annoy Me, owning a home

Hi. We own our home. We’ve lived here 2 1/2 years, and love it, SO STOP SENDING YOUR CHRISTMAS CARDS TO MR & MRS BRADLEY.
I’m sure they were nice people and all, but they haven’t lived here for several years, and you obviously aren’t close enough with them to have gotten their new address.

December 18th, 2007 · 3 Comments · How To Annoy Me, life, random thoughts, whatever

If I had a camera phone, I would have definitive photographic proof for the internets of a dude driving an SUV around metro-Detroit with an almost-life-sized MANGER SCENE strapped to the roof rack. As I drove by with my mouth open, silently mouthing a giant WHATTHEFUCK, my only question was not WHY? but CAN HE [...]

Because nothing clears a hangover better than sweating it out

December 17th, 2007 · No Comments · geekdom, life, married life

I know I’ve been complaining the past few weeks about how we have gotten screwed out of a good winter storm at least 3 times already this year, so let me just say “you were right” to all those people telling me to STFU. After getting up at 10am and spending a good couple hours [...]

Upgrading Windows Vista to XP

December 14th, 2007 · 1 Comment · How To Annoy Me, microsoft

If you’re like me, you’re never going to deploy Windows CRAP Extreme Edition (Vista) on anything, ever. I tried to blog about having to deploy Vista to a user here on a new notebook but couldn’t (I have received complaints that when I swear on the blog it blocks some people out from viewing the [...]

It’s beginning to look a lot like TACKY

December 14th, 2007 · 2 Comments · How To Annoy Me

Will the people that think inflatable lawn ornaments are not tacky please move to the front of the bus? You’re getting off at the next stop - someplace other than a city near me.
I’m going to have to start carrying my pocket knife around.
PROBLEM. SOLVED.

Morning Routine

December 13th, 2007 · 2 Comments · life, whatever

I’m like most people in that I have my normal thing I do every day while getting ready for work. I make coffee, shower, shave, iron the work shirt, eat something quick, grab a coffee-to-go, water & lunch, and I’m out the door.
This morning I somehow ruined my routine. At some point while grabbing a [...]
