HD For Indies

Got the 2nd replacement unit in today - good for Dell, I was thinking the other day that in my copious spare time (ha!) that I'd have to hassle them to get them on the ball. No such thing - they shipped the 2nd replacment after they got the first back, I didn't have to follow their children home from school in a windowless van or nothin'. (That usually works wonders for client service or cops with battering rams, whichever comes first. Yes, it's late and dangerous for me to be blogging).

So I'll mess with that this weekend, as well as the new laptop drive arrived, as well as Parts For Mysterious Project You Don't Know About Yet. I'll shave my head & scrotum and go into serious Dr. Evil mode this weekend on that stuff. If my girlfriend will let me (and yes, I'm talking about the geeking out part, not the other).

I'm working this week with a truly hairy set of variables for a client. Suffice it to say I'm glad editing apps don't face these challenges.

...and just raw gossip:

I went to the 4th Annual Mommie Dearest Roast tonight to FINALLY see my friend Dianne who's been hiding, excuse me busy, for months. She runs events under the Ultra Ultra banner, and also runs the Foodies group in Austin, where she is known simply as "Kitty". Taglines in the running for Foodies:

"Women Who Love Women Who Love Food"
and
"I Found My Girlfriend At Foodies"
to which I proffered
"It's like Fight Club For Girls"

...but without all the hitting and bleeding.

Which was inspired by.....dammit, I can't say, since I have a girlfriend who reads this. But it was a worthy.

The guy who puts the show on (at Alamo Drafthouse, of course) showed up in an outfit from the movie - Joan Crawford's swimsuit and robe. The low cut of the suit showed off his hairy chest and prodigious girth. But his boyfriend had the best T-shirt I've seen in I don't know how long:

Dirty Gay Wrestling-
Varsity Team

....and with that, I bid you adieu...
