Complaining, Christmas And Wrestling

You know what sucks? Migraines. You know what sucks more? Migraines that last for a couple of days and then leave you a worn out shell for another day after they’re gone. And you know what else sucks? Getting over the migraine, feeling better for a day and then running smack into one of those …

Sploosh Splosh Swimmin’ In A Thought Pool

It’s random thought splatter time. Put on your rubber boots, this thought puddle’s a doozer. Like every year, I have to get my silly Christmas shopping talk in there. When December started, I was flipping out, I’d hardly bought anything, and it was…what was Steve’s word? De-fucking-cember? I can’t find it, but ya know. Anyway, …

I’m Not Sure Why I Wrote This

There’s snow outside. Not a lot of it, but it’s honest to god snow, the stuff that sticks to the ground. I’m not impressed because I really can’t stand winter anymore, but I know it’s only going to get worse. Hopefully not so much worse that the services of the military are required like they …

It’s The Occupy VC Cast

Observations, Updates, And Other Goofiness

Life, #Twittereen, #Movember, And Other Things

Hi there. It’s me, ya know, the absentee blogger. I haven’t really had much to say in the last little while. Not on email, not on Twitter, not on the blog, not anywhere. But that’s ok. I’m surviving, that’s what matters. I’m surviving, and attempting to expand this very little brain. By consequence, when I …

An Update On The Chip And PIN Credit Card Question

As the title suggests, there’s an update to the do chip and PIN credit cards have a problem with blind people question from a couple of days ago. The best answer I can give after go rounds with the bank and with TD Visa is that I still haven’t a clue, and I won’t get …

A Question About Chip And PIN Credit Cards And Their Use By The Blind

The time has come for me to renew my credit card. The new one came in the mail late last week, so now all I have to do is get a hand from somebody to activate it. But before I do, a question. The new one is one of those chip and PIN deals that …
