Waterboarding My Brain

Posted by zhx on April 12th, 2008 filed in All, Blog Entries

Generally around this time of year I get pretty gnarly allergies. I don’t know if it’s the change in location or the combination of my regular seasonal allergies and coming down off the business end of whatever has kept me sick for the past month, but this spring it’s much MUCH worse. I feel like [...]

The Hardy Boys and the Case of the Broken CSS

Posted by zhx on April 10th, 2008 filed in All, Computers/Tech

It was pointed out to me last Tuesday that my site’s sidebar was relocating itself beneath the main content. Since last Tuesday was Microsoft’s patch day, I figured Internet Explorer received some upgrade that broke something; not the case.
My site (and many, many more) does not render correctly in Internet Explorer 6. This isn’t a [...]

Some Illiterate Fiction

Posted by zhx on April 6th, 2008 filed in All, Randomness

I just discovered my ex-stepbrother’s Myspace, which he hasn’t used a whole lot in the past year, but he did post some incredible fiction. Oh, for reference, I think he’s 22 years old and yes, English is his first (well, only) language.

I Gave Up on Seal

Posted by zhx on April 5th, 2008 filed in All, Music, Randomness

I posted back on the first that Nick had suggested I learn Kiss from a Rose on guitar, which was a brilliant idea because I love knowing songs that make people say “…why do you know that song?” I had originally planned on multitracking several parts and covering the whole song instrumentally, but I had [...]

Voice of Reason

I realized today that, even if I had the talent, I could never be a tattoo artist. It takes a very special kind of person to not only condone but facilitate other people’s poor decision making. I am most definitely not that person. Have you SEEN 99% of the tattoos people get? Yeesh. The process [...]

Resick

From a previous blog:
For the past couple days, I feel a bit like I’ve been in an episode of World’s Scariest Police Chases. Except instead of “scariest” imagine “most painful” and instead of “police chases” think “sore throats.” If there was a show called World’s Most Painful Sore Throats, my episode would only be available [...]

Oh Man! So Many Options!!

“How would you like your Sudafed PE opened this evening, sir? I know how fond you are of the ‘Separate at Perforations’ method.”
“Surprise me, Withersby.”
“As you wish, sir. I’ll fetch the scissors at once.”
“On second thought, Withersby, the issue of this fever is rather pressing…perhaps in the interest of time we should merely ‘Peel back/Push [...]
