Tuna noodle casserole (food)

Easy to make, filling, and doesn't taste horrible.
Prep time: 10 minutes of work, 30 minutes start to finish
Ingredient cost: around $4
Makes 4-6 servings
Purchase priority (geekery)
by at 05:11 PM
In rethinking what hardware I need to buy for what purposes, I've come to the conclusion that I need a better tower system for doing all of my work on, not a new laptop after all. So I've been looking at various Powermacs, of course, and after a lot of poking and asking around, found a comparison of G4 vs. G5 systems.

Stupid bank (rant)
by at 08:54 PM
Just got a politely angry letter from my bank, requesting that I please fill out a deposit slip whenever I make a deposit at the ATM, giving me all this crap about how if I don't it becomes time-consuming and error-prone for them.
Totally ignoring two basic things:
- Nowhere on or around the ATM does it say to fill out a deposit slip when making a deposit (it just says "Please insert an envelope containing the items you wish to deposit" or similar)
- How is it my fault that their ATM deposit process fucking sucks?

My futon may not be the softest or most comfortable bed around, but it's familiar and my own, and that makes a world of difference.

A tale of two Shoobies (aminals, music)
by at 12:27 AM
While I was in DC, my cat, Shooby, decided to wander off for a few days. He does this now and then, but never has he done it at Delphine's house. Hopefully he's okay...
And then I also just found out that Shooby Taylor who I named my cat after died back in June, but nobody who actually gave a shit found out until September 9th. Argh.

Finally on my way out of here (rant, travels)
by at 06:30 PM
Four years ago, I felt that as much as I hated Las Cruces, Washington DC was worse.
Today is no different.
Except I'm being delayed. And delayed. And delayed.
(In order to catch up and read these entries in chronological order, start with Sunday's comic and use the chronological navigation. It'll be easier that way, trust me.)
Ooh, I can get online with my cellphone! (geekery)
by at 12:02 PM
After messing with this for the last few days I've finally gotten online via cellphone through bluetooth. Of course, now I'm about to fly back home, but oh well.
Posting backlogs shortly.
9:31 PM Just got home. 450 spams. Jesus. Working on getting stuff posted.

Trip = suck (rant, travels)
by at 11:05 PM
So, I had some wrong impressions about this trip.
(Not about it sucking, that part was correct.)

DDR Konamix (games)
by at 11:22 PM
So, I got my new pads today. I put one onto a revised version of the platforms, and played it for a while. It's a lot different than DDRMax.
12:36 AM I found the six-panel solo mode. You get it by selecting "six panel" from solo mode. Go figure. Man it's hard. But fun, with more interesting play (sort of like an inbetween place between single and double).

The problem with Bluetooth (geekery)
by at 03:06 PM
Before my phone was listening on Bluetooth constantly (and spending about half
of its time with an active session), it was getting about a week of standby.
Now it's getting about a day.
Oh well.
On the other hand, it gives me warm fuzzies to have my computer automatically unlock and say "Welcome back!" when I enter the room... :)

Got the Bluetooth dongle (geekery)
by at 03:58 PM
and my Ericsson R520m is trying to sync. Though, so much for the "it Just Works" theory...
(Well, it does Just Work, but only if you know which way to do it.)

Splenda and sucralose [updated] (food)
by at 12:08 PM
I thought that the dangers of sucralose were being overstated by the usual suspects of conspiracy-theory wackos who want people to buy into their fad diets and so on, but now I'm not so sure.

Job interview (job stuff)
by at 02:40 PM
I just had an interesting job interview.
(Also, I'll probably start doing some retroactive journal comics of the past weekend tonight, for those who have been jonesing for a scribble fix.)

Don't feel like weblogging right now (random)
by at 10:00 PM
and I don't feel like drawing a journal comic.
Got back from my parents' house in one piece. It was a very nice visit. Hung out with my sister a lot. Need to catch up on sleep after spending so much time on the shitty hide-away bed-couch in my old bedroom. Whee.
Toby missed me lots.

What the hell is he doing?! (aminals)
by at 05:45 PM
One of my parents' cats has taken a rather intense liking to my shoes. He's nuzzling and licking the soles, and seems to be getting really heavy into it.
And I thought Shooby was weird...

Can we finally put an end to this?! (random)

I got a note left on my door today from Jesse next door. It's amazing how people can spend so much effort getting fed up when it'd have taken a lot less effort to deal with things sanely.

Journal comics (random)
by at 11:41 AM
Drew Weing seems bitter about the natural consequence of Sturgeon's law.
Come on, that 90% of crap has to come from somewhere.
11:58 PM Oh, he explained. I don't know which "comics journal review" he's talking about but my guess is that it's some sort of over-the-top "THIS IS THE FUTURE OF COMICS!@!$!$!!" wankfest, like all of the articles about webcomics a few years ago.
