The Garfield Minus Garfield comic strip keeps getting stranger and stranger:



Who knew that John Arbuckle was really a bottom? (Linked because my parents read this LJ and probably don't know what that word means in this context :-P )

In other news, the Chipotle in Ardmore is offering FREE BURRITOS today! I'll be there around 7 PM feeding my fat face.

I bought Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel for the Play Station 2 last weekend and beat it last night. Yeah, I'd say it was worth the the $12.99 I paid for it... and not a penny more. I'm glad that game's over.

Some recruiter decided to call me yesterday at work. I cannot begin to wrap my brain around what prompts these people think: "Gee, I'm going to call someone at work during business hours and try and get him to leave his job there!" Then said recruiter went screaming over the line as she war-dialed her way across the floor and bothered some other co-workers too. Not cool.

Also speaking of work, was CCed on an e-mail from a co-worker a short while ago. That's not unusual. The fact that the primary recipient of the email was the Cron Daemon was, however. In fact, I don't think I ever saw that done before. :-)

And finally, in Anthrocon news, we have a couple of featured musical performers this year. Both Tom Smith and Alexander Adams will be performing live concerts on the evening of Thursday, June 26th at AC.

That Garfield without Garfield thing is AWESOME XD

Since Jim Davis has a staff that writes Garfield now, I can only wonder if folks on that staff intentionally try to write strips that work even better as a Garfield-Garfield strip.

Cool, musical guests! Think this might become a regular thing? Think at any point you might need opening acts? I know a few people who would be happy to warm up the crowd. :)

Like, say, ME.

Can't believe I missed this comment. Gah. :-P

Anyway, you should shoot an email to programming-2008 (AT) anthrocon.org if you haven't done so already.

Happens to me all the time, though recently from contract agencies in India who have somehow gotten hold of my resume. They seem to always want me to leave my pimp digs for one or two month contracts in complete shit holes for considerably less than market rate.

Go figure!

I've had people do that to me at work too. Actual customers come up to me and, in the process of the sale, they offer me an interview and slip me their card.

I've noticed that crossing the line to having a 100%-complete profile on Linked-In causes a storm of calls.

What will happen if (when?) you find out that your parents know all-too-well what a "bottom" is? O_o
