Feel the amazing power of my lameness!

I have absolutely no excuse for not having cancelled my Massachusetts ISP account. However, it was actually useful this morning: I got an email from my ex-landlord in Watertown about a bit of mail that had showed up. Let's just say, a moderately important bit of mail.

He was absolutely astonished when I actually replied to the email. He expressed awe at the awesome power of technology - I credit the awesome power of my lameness. Hurrah for inertia!

Just in case anyone hasn't seen this one already:

Fudebakudo, the Way of the Exploding Pen

I'm disappointed that the martial arts quiz doesn't have tai chi as a starting option, but they claim they're adding more arts soon, so what the heck. And I mostly like the cartoons anyway. (Yes, I bought the book.)

aaaargh

I have gotten SO spoiled. I truly believe that all Christmas presents should be rectilinear, and that no present should ever be so big in any direction that it can't be encircled by whatever wrapping paper I have handy. And I get REALLY pathetic and whiny when that's not the case.

O, my geometry! Why hast thou forsaken me? Sod it, extra bits of paper and half a roll of scotch tape it is.

(Now where the heck am I gonna hide this thing for the next 5 days?)

and finally

The Tuesday edition of Something Awful contains a truly hilarious rant against Monster Cables. Amen, brother!
