I swear this cartoon is about Pied...

Feb. 13th, 2007 01:21 amThree things that made me happy today:
- Resigning from both chess games with honor, and realizing that I enjoyed them enough that it didn't matter that I lost. I'll probably return to those boards in a few days to analyze them.
- Having an early VD with Jodi (dinner and a movie)
- Specifically, watching Sweet Land (about which more later, probably in a day or two) and talking about it afterward. For now, I'll just quote without context: "Hallo, hems." And I want an icon of Brownie's "Have more pie" line.
- Configuring the assistant director's new Treo smartphone to connect to the Exchange server
- Taking some pretty good photographs of one of the new employees, for our website
- Finding a supplier for custom compounded medication for Pied, and then finding an even better supplier after she started drooling, Turner and Hooch-style, following the administration of 1mL suspension p.o. (apparently the fish flavoring is what did it; the better supplier makes their own fish flavoring from scratch)

Three things I accomplished today:
- Since my opponent didn't play 12. Kf1 Nc2, I stayed alive in this game. I'd probably have resigned at that point. I've also stayed alive against

whispersessions. I'm not claiming I'll even draw either game; I'm just happy to still be in both games. - Getting compliments on the enchilada lasagna and guacamole dinner I made. I didn't see dried chipotles at the store, and I plumb forgot to pick up a jalapeño, and I used celery instead of a cup of the onions, and somehow this was pretty much exactly right.
- Getting ++ed for my jokes in #code4lib.
Three things I accomplished today:
- Identified the source of a Java error in our vendor's product, despite the fact that I don't know enough Java to write hello world.
- Cleaned the catbox
- Got to bed before midnight
I'm Swiss and I'm spending the night

I've recently listened to You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (1999 Broadway Revival Cast)
. After listening to it, I looked through the booklet and said to myself, "Gee, Charlie Brown looks familiar..." Sure enough, it was Anthony Rapp! And who's that playing Sally? Why, it's Kristin Chenoweth! Good stuff.
Jodi and I were watching Gay, Straight or Taken? last night, and I was intrigued by the tagline, which said that it's a game we all play anyway. That seems pretty accurate; people like to pigeonhole each other as soon as possible. I certainly loved the look of horror on the contestant's face when the man she'd identified as straight-and-single said that she was a bit of a diva. Oh shit, her expression seemed to say, straight men don't use the word 'diva'. And sure enough, he won a tropical vacation with his boyfriend.
But the title of the show is wrong to begin with. The choices presented are gay-and-taken, straight-and-single, and straight-and-taken. And there's so much more outside that Venn diagram. Oh well, too many fish in that barrel.
And if you don't recognize my new userpic, you need to watch the Windows 386 promo video.
