Notepad of Random Kate Thoughts from 24 January:

  • Man it sucks that this is what blogging has been reduced to for me at the moment, but I’m totally slammed between manuscript work, thesis work and work work.  Le sigh.
  • My friend Mick has started blogging again.  I think this is great considering he’s one of the most fantastically aweshome people I know.  Check his lists of “shit he likes” on Mick Fredrick version 2.0: Binary Caffeinated Mayhem
  • While stuck on Muni today I read an article in the SF Weekly by David Downs regarding Comcast jamming Bit Torrent downloads.  Very interesting stuff. 
  • It continually depresses me that individuals like Brahm Cohen, Jeremy Stoppleman and Russel Simmons are YOUNGER than I am and are multi-millionaires and the inventors of hugely important Web 2.0 apps.  It makes my writing life seem palid in comparison. It’s a good thing that Jeremy Stoppleman is such a cool guy because between his genius, Yelp and his fracking adorable dog, Darwin  if he weren’t I might otherwise be so envious of him that I turned green.
  • I may take a class in CSS.  My friend Mick (see above) suggested that I take a class in PHP instead.  Opinions on this topic are welcome
  • Feh, I hate dating.
  • To make myself feel better after that last statement (which I don’t want to go into, suffice it to say it was bad) I am posting a LOLCat… suffer innerwebs:

  • I’d like to wish my soon-to-be not roommate Carla a very happy 29th birthday.  You go, girl!
  • I have discovered in research for my job (don’t ask) that we are about to start the Year of the Rat.  In finding this out I have also found out that I am apparently an Ox (next year’s my year baby!) and this means what to me?  Nothing except that I’m supposedly “responsible, dependable, honest, caring, honourable, assertive, open-minded, industrious, practical, patient, strong-willed, powerful, fearless, skillful, eloquent, talented, confident, critical, fair-minded” and “petty, inflexible, possessive, dogmatic, gullible, stubborn, critical, intolerant, unassuming, paranoid, melacholy, egotistical, over-critical, cold-hearted, mean, violent, narrow-minded, manipulative, rigid.”  Like you didn’t know that?  Oh yes, and I’m compatiable with Rats, Snakes, Roosters and other Oxen; and, semi-compatible with Pigs, Dogs and Dragons… meaning that all you fellas out there clamboring (*snort, right*) to submit applications for the postion of “Kate’s FWB” should check your Chinese Zodiac sign and only apply accordingly.  Tigers, Horses, Rabbits, Monkeys and Goats shouldn’t waste my time. ;)
  • This weekend commences the packing madness… one week until I move.  Guh, I feel underprepared.
  • Sunday I’m seeing Kids in the Hall – this will be the highlight of my weekend – I really hope they do Sir Simon & Manservant Hecubus… that’s my favorite of all time.  Buddy Cole would also be good.
  • And, lastly… Perez Hilton (who I hate, but read anyways) has a pictie of the Vanity Fair cover w/Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf… I could care less about Shia… but, Indie… oh, Indie…
  • I want this Bunny Ninja Hat.  Someone buy it for me, I’m Mz. Crankypantz and need a prezzie.
  • (No don’t really.)
  • Excuse me I need to go think about Han Solo & Indiana Jones now.
