I'm bored. Bored with everything. Even my thoughts are boring. For example, I was just staring at my freshly painted walls here in my office thinking about how fast the paint had dried. Held my attention for awhile. And then I started watching the second hand on my watch go round and round. After a full five rotations, I decided to click over to Republic of Dogs and of course, they're discussing porn. The post is really about computery stuff, but comment threads tend to deteriorate into pornspeak rather quickly over there.
Res started sexually harassing Chuckles in the comment thread. Chuckles has a problem because all the porn he downloads is taking up too much space on his computer. He said he just can't get rid of that filthy, nasty, lovely, life-affirming stuff. Res used to keep his porn on floppy disks ... he misses those days. Then Chuckles said it's just always fun for some reason to be able to look at boobs before you head out for work in the morning. That sometimes you just need to be reminded why you talk to other people.
And that great boobs are like prozac or something. They bring peace and harmony wherever they go.
Yawn.
Then Adorable Girlfriend called Chuckles a boob. Which was quite fitting.
Pinko called the whole thing a debacle. True, very true. But those who live in glass houses, that's what I always say...
Then they started combining pornspeak with computery lingo, like wanting Love Sock 9000s.
I don't have porn on my computer and seeing boobs before I start working in the morning does nothing for me. Actually, just the thought of it bores me.
So I went off to find something a little more intellectually stimulating. I clicked over to 3Bulls! And what do I read?
Bigger Than Jesus
A short initiation into the mystery cult of CSS codes for AG.
Then it's something about the word: SQUEEEEEEE! and how you do something with it...
In general, this formatting comes from the CSS stylesheet that is attached to the HTML page. If you look at the source to a 3B! page, you can find <link> tags that refer to files with the extension “.css”. These tags tell the browser where to find the CSS formatting information for the page. The information can also be included in the HTML itself. If you look at the source to a page at AIF’s, you can find <style> tags containing CSS code. In either case, the CSS code used by the page is called the “stylesheet”.
Etc, etc, etc. More computery stuff. And they didn't even have any porn in the comment thread to spice things up a bit.
How boring is that? Even though Chuckles did leave this comment, which made me, um, chuckle for some unknown reason...
This was an informative post.
Potato.
Oh well. I've still got to finish painting the trim in my office and then all the painting will be done. Wonder how long it'll take to dry? I think I'll use the second hand on my watch and time it.
And I'll report back in a new post. Won't that be exciting?

I know, my blog is totally overrun by heathens and savages. I'm clutching my pearls as we speak.

Res, will you write for my blog for awhile and I'll just pretend it's me? I won't tell anyone? You could just do that, if you want. I have no thoughts lately besides...I'm bored...and hungry...and bored...and hungry.

Res, I hope that pearl necklace was given to you by someone special.
BG, I don't come by here often enough.
Rhizome.

Bwah! Maybe you'll get matching earrings next time. I got a pearl barrette once...

That is the dirtiest thing I have ever read, Jennifer. Gross! How did you get it out of your hair?
BG, did you not follow the tuber pun motif on the 3Bulls thread that led to Chuckle's superlative Potato comment? That has got tuber the worst pun thread I've ever read.

UC, you have to understand that you all work and comment on a whole different level than I do.
I don't know what in the heck you're all talking about half the time.

You're much safer that way, BG.

I just don’t see how the right solution can be so tightly disciplined to a dollar figure. By all means, recognize that a problem has a cost attached to it, and therefore the solution must be limited by that financial context.
