Pointless Announcements

You obviously have not been to my book club.

We're reading The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood. It's an interesting book, but I think we're going to have to read the thing in its entirety before we can have any kind of meaningful discussion. Last night, our book related discussion went like this: "Is anyone else confused? Man, the narrator sounds like my grandma. I hope it's understandable in the end."

Then we went back to drinking, talking about moving, the NBA Playoffs, Competitive Erotic Fanfiction, and other fun topics.

 

I'm basically interested in streaming video files from my iMac in the home office to the TV in the living room (which has a PS3).

I don't think you answered my questions, but you rawk just the same.

 

Dude, the last time I saw @Martian I was hanging out with @Plan9 and @snowy and @Poetry (to name a few) ...

 

Whose fault is that? Pretty sure I've invited you over at least once since then. @Magpie wants to play Magic with you still, and I still haven't been around to see your new place.

You can't be a hermit and then complain about how you never see anyone.

 

I think I had a scheduling conflict or something (which is rare). I do get busy at times (like now), but those times are normally compressed into a month (like this April). Otherwise, I'm mostly wasting time doing nothing particularly interesting.

I've thought about @Magpie and Magic lately. These cards are burning a hole in a drawer somewhere.

The new place is pretty much ready. But it was only last week that we actually invited people over for the first time.

I dunno. Maybe you'll be next.

Oh, I'm not complaining, but I am a hermit. I think I've talked to you about this (or maybe not), but I'm not the type to initiate social get-togethers. I'm always worried about bothering people with my ballyhoos.

I know I need to fix that, but, well, here I am.

 

My big heavy clunky not well put together department store bike has a flat tire. I'm sure I could figure out changing it, but I'm taking this as a sign from the bike gods. Time for a new one. To kijiji I go.

For wifi issues, it's either a distance thing or interference. There's frequently not a lot to be done about it. If it's not too onerous I'd just run an ethernet cable.

 

I think it's a bit of both. Newer devices (iPad, iPhones) receive the signal in the living room just fine. Anything older has problems.

 

Sriracha is life.

 

I just buy gigantic bottles of Huy Fong Sriracha at the Asian grocery along with my sambal oelek and chili garlic paste.

Texting with my best guy friend today in advance of the playoff game tonight.

J: RoLo is an animal. He'd tear it up in the sack. Like might literally tear your vagina up.
Me: I like it rough, so that's cool.

 

I just scored 3% on Buzzfeed's "How Many Of These Pulitzer Prize-Winning Novels Have You Read?"

 

8%. It would probably go up considerably if I marked off books I own but haven't read or just authors.

 

In my defense, this is foreign literature. What's your excuse?

 

A love of British literature?
