A Beer A Day

I was going to write a long post about the contest, lessons learned, etc., but I realized it just made us sound like a bunch of alcoholics. So, in short: the contest started on June 15 and I tapped out on August 26. The contest ran for 73 days– Ian wins, I lose. Props to him (which is all he’s getting, since there was no money on the table, but really, isn’t respect priceless?).

Both of us were too proud/stubborn/competitive (characterize it however you like) to back down, but really, it’s a relief for both of us. As I predicted, the only thing that would stop this contest would be one of getting sick and it would most likely be me– I’ve come down with some type of super-cold and I figured, when you have trouble breathing, maybe it’s time to throw in the towel. (Not that I’m making excuses– Ian won fair-and-square.)

God, Adam as micromanagers

I’m not sure based on what wishlist it does it, but My Tivo picked up Hedwig and the Angry Inch again:

What kind of God creates Adam in His image and then pulls Eve out of him to keep him company? And then tells him not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge? I mean, He was so micromanaging. And so was Adam. But Eve– Eve just wanted to know shit.

More quotes from Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

Twitter

Even though I haven’t really been blogging, if you happened to cruise by here, you may have noticed I added a Twitter badge for about a week.

It’s gone now.

Seven days, three posts. I’m over it, as expected. You don’t need to know what I’m doing all the time, mostly because either a) it’s not that exciting or b) it is exciting and if I wanted you to know about it, I’d tell you.

Service becomes useful for second time in a decade

After about 10 years since first signing up for Classmates.com, the service has been useful for me a grand total of two times: first, sometime well over five years ago to reconnect briefly with one high school classmate and second, just now to receive notice about my upcoming 10-year high school reunion.

And I am still reserving judgment about the second time. Awesome.
