aaaaaaaarghhhhh.

still alive.

Posted on September 09, 2008
i have officially survived my first two days of work. for obvious reasons, i can't go into any juicy details on these very public interwebstubes...i don't hold a lot back on this blog, but posting anything even somewhat specific about my work life on here is probably unwise, so i will refrain from doing so...

i've got "eye of the tiger" stuck in my head. that's weird, but i'm grateful that i didn't wake up to my first day of work with something like "take this job and shove it" in my head instead. that would have been a bad sign.

today's my last day of laziness. tomorrow i start my first day of work. the idea that i'll be working as an attorney tomorrow is really, really funny for some reason. even though i've been through college and been through law school and taken the bar [although i'm still waiting on results, grr], i still haven't quite internalised that i've made it to where i can work as an attorney and not a

most Ann Rule XKCD ever. i only give you this because it is awesome.

i was googling for some bash scripting help, and came upon the funniest line in a forum post that i've seen in a long time. for those of you who don't spend inordinate amounts of time playing with linux boxes, "bash" is the name of the command line interface that's generally used on linux boxes, and "bash scripting" refers to the language of operating system commands used on such computers.

didgeriWHAT?

this article makes my head spin. owwww, the ignorance! on a lighter note, if playing the didgeridoo really did make you infertile, my time would be well spent learning how to play that. i have a funny feeling a didgeridoo is cheaper than getting my tubes tied, and will involve having to deal with less medical bureaucratic bullshit...

i just saw this ad on tv: am i a bad person because all that ran through my head when i saw it was "MATT DAMON!...MATT DAMON!...MATT DAMON!"?

a little on music

Posted on September 03, 2008
i'm sitting at the coffeehouse around the corner from my apartment, working on my program. they've got Tidal by Fiona Apple running from start to finish. i could not stand her back in the nineties. however, twelve years after that album came out, i must admit it's pretty darn good...

sigh.

Lloyds is pants!

sometimes, customer dissatisfaction leads to hilarity. let me count the ways: guy is dissatisfied with how Lloyds Bank deals with a travel insurance issue.guy changes his account password to "Lloyds is pants."member of Lloyds staff notices guy's password...

walking

Posted on August 27, 2008
i realised today that i'm finally back in some semblance of city shape. when i lived in chicago from 2000-2005, i walked all the time. half-mile walks were nothing. walks of a mile or two, even, were old hat. they didn't faze me...they were just a normal part of everyday life...

i'm in over my head...

i'm doing research into the blogger API...and it's looking like the blogger section of my blogging script is going to have to create and send an XML file. this is a little daunting, as i've neither used nor even really learned about XML before. study time!

victory!

Posted on August 27, 2008
yes, i know, i should be setting up my bedroom. instead i'm at a coffee shop near my house, getting some work done on my blogging script for the first time since i took the bar almost a month ago. [!] i had almost forgotten how nice it was to just sit, puzzle through a computer programming problem, and eventually solve it...

the president doesn't get a funny hat.

i've been getting AIM spam from screen names with "Salmon" or "Trout" in them for months. some of them are boring. some of them are weird. this one is just historically inaccurate: OutOfSyncTrout: Pope Pius XII was a great President, don't you agree? >...

lazybones

i have again been rather delinquent on putting together furniture. i haven't been as delinquent as yesterday, though. i put my chair together, and started on my desk. however, i thought it would be far more fun to finally set up mozilla thunderbird on this box, so i can have one place to check all my email...

more surprise buttsets!

Posted on August 26, 2008
my blog is on the first page when you google the word "buttsets." awesome.

heehee.

exchange between me and foofy_attorney, a few minutes ago: me: guess what Rob did this evening on the phone to cheer me up. foofy: sent you a lolcat with a penguin on it? me: no... foofy: sent you a penguin with a lolcat on it? me: no... foofy: sent you a lolcat with a penguin on it, compiling a linux kernel? me: no...

new york pictures :)

Posted on August 25, 2008
i got back from new york yesterday after being there for ten days. i'll spare you the schmoopy rants about how i wish i were still there [although i really, really wish i were still there.] however, i did take a ton of pictures. views of Manhattan from Rockefeller Center, 8...

awwwwwww.

bedtime.

i'm back in chicago. my flights ran on time, but the trip home was arduous, between the blue line shuttle between jefferson park and irving park, as well as the addison bus having stopped running by eight thirty on sunday. i'm not sure, though, how much of my tiredness is from the travel, though, and how much of it is emotional...

lirr weirdness

Posted on August 22, 2008
i had the weirdest train ride on wednesday night. before the train ride was strange enough. i had been in penn station quite a few times before, but always during the day. it was always bustling, but never particularly weird. it was usually full of harried businesspeople on the weekdays, and full of confused tourists on the weekends...

no accounting for taste

Posted on August 21, 2008
yesterday's dinosaur comic is full of win. so...much...win. in other news...well, i do have more that i want to say, but i'm running late getting ready and going into manhattan to meet my friend for lunch, so that will have to be written later.

jealousy, or the lack thereof

Posted on August 19, 2008
i was at lunch today with a friend of mine, and something he said took me aback...and then made me think about how lucky i've been. we were eating lunch, and he asked me my plans for the rest of the day. i told him i was going to tool around manhattan a while longer, and be back on long island by the time my boyfriend got back from work...

whoo-hoo!

i have messy, spiky emo boy hair today. it's going to be a good day.

hooray! the cactus hatched!

the funniest thing happened at lunch today. early this afternoon, i was down near times square, having lunch with Jammie, and the hostess at the restaurant came over to our table with an extremely confused look on her face. the following weirdness ensued: hostess: excuse me, are you nicolle? me: yes, i am...

i'm still in new york, and will be for another week. yet, that seems like far too short a time.

Posted on August 15, 2008
omg. YAY. october 24, paul and storm are playing at schuba's...a bar about five blocks from my house. this is, of course, all kinds of awesome. paul and storm crack me up so much. who wants to go with me?
