I've been lost in Perl for, how long has it been? A month? A lifetime? What year is this, anyway? No, don't tell me that, there's no good answer...
A big no-fudging publicly-announced deadline falls today at work. Started yesterday around 9:30 AM, and kept going until 6 AM Today, stopping only to sleep and drink beer. (Well, I'm not insane, you know.) Again today by 11, on into the afternoon. Finally left the house at 5 PM, came into work, here I am and it is ...
almostdone.
There was some kind of company party last night, missed that. Oh Well. I'm more bummed about having had to skip the Jet Li movie at the UC. I can't remember the name offhand - Hard Killer or Tough to Target or Bad Haircut, something like that.
Ohhhhhhh no no no no, you're not going to make me listen to Neil Diamondead Can Dance. I will not do it.
[dramatic pause]
There! Velvet Underground! Isn't that much better? Isn't this fascinating for you to read about? I suppose I could be making it all up, but by this time you should know better than to think I'd have that much imagination.
For a while there I was beginning to feel like I was connecting into a new set of people through all of this online stuff. But as I think I mentioned before, the problems of real life do follow one onto the Net as well. My secret identity has been revealed - Alienating Man!! Harsher than a steel wool omelette! More tone-deaf than a fencepost! Able to annoy whole nations with a single packet!
On the other hand, a kind soul here gave me a big paper bag full of banananananana bread. Oh, that reminds me of the worst joke. Two strings walk into a bar. One string says to the bartender, "Hey can I have a beer33333aadf####---~~~~~~~~~~ade in t -" The other string puts a hand over the first one's mouth and says "You'll have to excuse my friend, he's not null-terminated."
I feel so much better about being old now that John Glenn's in orbit again. Also, would you be interested in looking at this bridge I've just acquired?
10:14 PM: Done. Plonk.
Willfully blind self-indulgent nebbish or amusingly quirky old coot? And how bout that local sports team? Discuss among yourselves.

All names are fake, most places are real, the
author is definitely
unreliable but it's all in good fun. Yep.
