500!!!

It’s my 500th post. Hey, blogosphere, give me some love. Everyone (calling all lurkers) comment on why they read me, how they came about the blog, and/or what they love best of what I do.

I’m such an arse

I go insane. Every time I try to spell something that ends with ‘-er‘ or ‘-re‘ or ‘-or‘ or ‘-our‘ or ‘-ise‘ or ‘-ize‘ or ‘-ce‘ or ‘-se‘ or ‘-xion‘ or ‘-ction‘ or any of the other hundred-odd variations in…

The 6900

I just lost 600 words. This is what I get for being productive. Actually, if you want to be technical about it, this is what I get for inserting a graphic of a frog, naming it Tom, then calling it…

“Not until you think of the irony”

I found this exact note on the computer I was working at: REGISTRATION-INDIVIDUALS PO BOX 9942 MOONEE PONDS VIC 3039 Dear Sir/Madam: I have just learned that someone has got the access to my tax file number, and I’m concerned…

Nice Guys Screw Themselves III

Nice does not mean spineless. Sometimes guys hide behind the excuse of “I’m a nice guy” in hopes of sympathy. Perhaps if people realize that nice guys mean well but have a universe to compete against, perhaps then their niceness…

Nice Guys Screw Themselves II

I was a nice guy all of my life. Not ‘nice, nice,’ but nice. One of those people that girls would call at two in the morning to complain about their boyfriends. And I listened. And I cared. Then I…

Tao of Gabe: Cookie is a Sometimes Topic

Tao of Gabe Gabe the Delightful Beaver here with a preposterous claim: Cookie Monster never eats cookies!! Check it out the next time you see him. He always yells and moves his hands in a purposeful manner, but every single…

Hovering makes Spanish fun!

Damn, I love my mom, Hola Chaparrito, Es muy triste cuando nos pasa eso. A mi una vez se me perdio el disquete y tuve que hacer todo el trabajo de nuevo. Otra vez trabaje todo el fin de semana…

Necro Autobiographical Microfiction

Microfiction is a ludicrously short story, usually about 250 words. Microficticious works have all the same elements as regular works, but are forced to show them quicker. If novels are meant to be read over a month, novellas over a…

My Lappy Broke :(

I have 4000+ words left to write and no place to write them in. Not to mention the fact that all of my life’s work was on that (about 1.2 Gigs worth of Word and Publisher files… so yeah, quite…

NaNoWriMo No Mo’? Oh, No!

Damn it, I missed NaNoWriMo. I wanna write a novel in 30 days! Do you think it might be too lame to do it on my own? I think I’m just going to have to wait for 2006. Until then,…

The 7500

500 words due Tuesday morning. 2000 words due Wednesday day. 2000 more words due Wednesday day. 3000 words due Friday afternoon. ———————————— 0 words I have done Monday night. I’m going to stop claiming that this isn’t who I am.…

Damn, I should have kept those jump drives…

Maturity is so silly

Apparently I’ve become known for my philosophical posts. I find that interesting, because philosophy is a rather small percentage (20.45) of the totality of my postings. … by the way, notice how the 22.45 has no percentage sign attached? Yeah,…

Interested in working @ Pix Capacitor?

Apparently there is some interest out in the world wide web for the positions that I now or will later have open. Okay, to wit, the positions are as follows: Web designer: Design a fantastic website in which each page…
