I stirred up another hornet’s nest on the Shocklines message board late yesterday and into today. Someone I consider an online friend made a post about the secretary of education pulling funding from PBS for some cartoon show that has two lesbian couples in it. He called for people to sign an online petition protesting…

After a long discussion, I gave my 10-year-old daughter permission to have a boyfriend. Hell, I had girlfriends in grade school. The other night she decided she wanted her hair in curlers. The wife being at work, it fell to me to help her put curlers in her hair before she went to bed. She’s…

I came to work today believing I could take control of the situation and get done everything I needed to do. The first thing I did was tell an assistant dean there is no way in hell he’s getting the project he wants finished by Feb. 5. Ummmmm. The sweet aftertaste of power. Makes me…

Shit. Right now I’d just settle for having a bottle of rum and a quiet corner. Another incredibly busy day at work. Which means I only have a few minutes to update this. On the computer side, my floppy drive worked for a few minutes yesterday. Long enough to transfer my Web site files to…

Spent the day running all the adware, spyware and virus scanners I have access to on the ol’ computer. Found a bunch of bad stuff and got rid of it. Not sure yet if the machine is fixed. Last I checked, it was recognizing the floppy drive, but couldn’t recognize when I had a disk…

The weekend is here. Can I get an amen? I still can’t use my floppy drive. Still can’t get into my FTP Go Daddy account through the home computer. You know when all this bad voodoo started on my machine? I’ll tell ya. It was when I downloaded Service Pack 2 for Windows XP. Everything…

I. AM. SO. FRUSTRATED. Work was hell again today. Coming home wasn’t much better. For three hours after getting here I did almost nothing but deal in feeding kids because the little ones wouldn’t eat their dinner, but started nagging about food pretty much as soon as I cleared the table. Then I sat them down…

Here we go again. Hopefully today won’t be as crazy as yesterday, but I suspect it’ll get that way. Yesterday I was asked to be the Feb. 5 guest speaker to the Norman Galaxy of Writers, a group that meets in the Norman Public Library. You know Norman, home of the University of Oklahoma Sooners.…

Wow. What a day. I was really slammed at work today. Jobs are coming in that my boss would usually handle and I have several press releases in various stages. If not for my intern I’d probably be dangling from the rafters soon. She’s knocking off several of the press releases for me. The news…

Driving in to work today my mind got to wandering back to when I was studying karate. I miss that. I was studying Shito-Ryu Karate-Do Genbu-Kai under Todd Cooper in Ponca City. I was a member of that dojo when Fumio Demura “left” his previous group and formed Genbu-Kai and was among one of the…
