Mother 3 (aka Earthbound 2) is weird. In the past 15 min, I have been implicitly sodomized by a crossdresser and mauled by a cattlesnake.

sooo, yeah. the entire IT dept today is ducking out early to avoid the post-parade traffic.
retwitted from @gruber You’re going to laugh: http://tinyurl.com/5ztjpt (post-game hijinks in South Philly)
yay phillies! boo downtown mob traffic!
ok, i like the weather but not that it is 55 degrees inside my house. but i do like an excuse to break out my massive florescent bulbs.
<3 the weather. Is it weird that I love it when it’s brisk and windy/rainy? So invigorating!
wow. from a cold boot I was able to log into gmail using Chrome before Firefox ever loaded - and I started FF first!
This week should be enjoyable. I get to add polish to some half-completed-yet-functional quick hacks from a year ago.
How nerdy/lame is it that I know I have roommates home and know they prob don’t want to be social, both thanks to twitter?
Never noticed Chrome’s element inspector before. It’s like they took FF’s DOM Inspector and made it a little uglier but added way more info.
Another fact: septa should run approx a bazillion more 34 trolleys.
Went around campus looking at rocks for class. Fact: Gladfelter/Anderson will collapse in approx 30 years. Yay.

I started with mafic rocks and somehow ended up on why Hawaii should or should not be spelled with an okina. Damn you, Wikipedia.
I enjoyed “W”, but it is marketed entirely wrong. It’s a drama with a few comedic moments, not a comedy. And, it’s damn long.
I want to see “W”. Does anyone else localish want to see “W” tonight?
haha. Is it bad that I have reached a point where I consider having a meeting agreeing to have a meeting to be a productive use of time? ;-)
I have so much “I’m bored. Type type type bloglines.com” muscle memory it’s ridiculous. Hardest part about switching to google reader.

When I left for work this morning, I couldn’t help but notice the stray cat who took up residence in the flower pot by our front door.
does anyone know of an existing horizontal nested list navigation that handles overflow sanely in narrow browser windows?
Comment and I will… a) Tell you why I friended you. b) Associate you with something — a fandom, song, color, photo, etc. c) Tell you something I like about you. d) Tell you a memory I have of you. e) Ask you something I’ve wanted to know about you. f) Tell you my favorite userpic from your list. g) In return, you need to post this on your own livejournal.
Jim and Pam continue to be sickeningly sweet. not entirely unlike butterscotch. Also: wtf, Jan?
Ads on the subway say I’ll have more orgies if I chew dentyne. Pretty sure oral hygiene isn’t my biggest obstacle.
enjoyed the prez debate, though my favored candidate was a bit flat. first one with real discourse. tho - mydebates.org = myspace? wack.
debating with self. is horizontal nested css list nav going to be worth the pain?
I normally don’t look at browser statistics. However, since I’m about to start a new design of something, I was curious where we stand right now with respect to IE. Before we start, let me confess that my data gathering methodology is completely flawed for a number of reasons and quite possibly misleading. Still, if we can compare flawed apples to flawed apples, we might get some...
tired of bloglines timeouts. giving greader a try for the week…
i don’t like days that start off without a list of immediately “actionable” tasks.
i really should spend some time just absorbing git’s docs. i make too many dumb mistakes with it.
mac mini + dualhead2go + 2 x 1440x900 = fail
according to twitter, the only noteworthy thing that happened today was apple’s keynote. ;-)
hah. i guess i never tested on the production machine before? `rake spec` hates enum columns like whoa.
huh. `rake rails:freeze:[edge|gems]` completely kills my app on freebsd because rails suddenly can’t find iconv? weird.
i hate the downtime i have on thursdays. grumble.
what? rock-looking-at midterm is next week, not this week? fantastic!
bloglines really isn’t good at pretty, is it?
am I the only one who finds writing unit tests really dull and annoying? i wish i had a robot to write them for me. maybe a robot dog.
We have about a dozen bookshelves in our house. Why have we not done this yet? http://tinyurl.com/4zxbg8
frickin’ commercials. i was dead set on not watching 24 this season, but now I’m pretty sure that’s not an option.
oh, i forgot. clean energy!
maverick maverick maverick! o’biden! white flag! surge surge surge!
someone should just make sylar a sandwich. i mean, srsly.
i’m convinced 35% of the people driving in center city today were intoxicated.
