fixed!

No, but seriously, isn't that frog ADORABLE? No, really, I couldn't have done it...at all. Thanks to the many people who lent a hand or much-needed spiritual largesse, and especially to Casey, who blew through the solution so fast I felt even stupider, Danielle, who is owed a drink or three when she hits town, Ryan, who was more than willing to help out a perfect stranger and Kelly Sue for...

sorry, inertnet

Something's very broken. My database is corrupt, i think. I don't really know what that means, but it's responsible for the simulposts below. Hopefully I can keep posting stuff in the interim, but if not, you know why. Happy Channukah. In the meantime, does anyone know how to work with moveable type? Can someone lend some expertise? I can pay in praise and photo prints. Let me know: christophersebela[at]gmaildotcom...

what have i done?

So, forever and a day ago, I wrote this about when my cat goon was in heat. A dumb thing about cats that you can find all across the inertnet. Yeah, I was that guy once. I probably will be again. Anyhow, since then, the particular phrase I used for the heading has drawn in curiosity seekers from across the world to answer the question of what do you do with a...

patience is its own reward

Back when Timmy moved out of the building in May, he took his wireless internet with him and all my dreams of whittling away the moments looking up totally random nonsense like pictures of Ike Turner and downloading songs like Spandau Ballet's "True," I had a choice to make. Either shell out for internet all on my own or hunker down and wait. With three empty apartments in the building someone was...

Vera speaks

This is exciting. I rarely expect to get anything by way of response to things written about almost 3 years ago, about a person who seemingly doesn't exist anymore. But out of the blue and forwarded into my mailbox this evening comes something very special. In reference to this, comes this response, sent to Fraction, cause apparently he's the only one who bothered to leave an email address laying around for Vera...

mea culpa

I am a bad blogger. Tons more soon. Like, a ridiculous amount. Enough that you will say, you will email, you will shout to the sky "please stop already, this is getting tiresome." I got all sorts of high-falutin' opinions I'm only all too eager to share with all 6 of you. Life without the Inertnet just kind of has a way of reducing the importance of all potential posts to a...

vacated

In 24 hours, I'll be on a plane, on my way to New York. In 48 hours, I'll be on a plane, on my way to London. In between now and July 10th, I'll turn 30, I'll wander from England to Ireland and France, I'll sleep in hostels and likely annoy people with my snoring. I will take a literal fuckload of photos and spend a large wad of cash on eel...

i wander the earth, in search of wifi

So I have no more internet at home, which means I'll be even more infrequent in my updates here, to flickr, in responding to email, in IM, in just about every way, shape and facet. Which, y'know, ain't the worst thing in the world. At least network TV's gone to bed for the summer, so I don't have to worry about torrenting any more episodes of Lost or Alias. Anyhow, until I...

one last note for may

Things are quiet for now. I'm unsure how much I'll be posting between now and when my flight leaves for London at the end of the month. This much is confirmed and set, I am going to Europe, where I will sleep in hostels (I'm happy to note I'm still in the hostel age range), gawk like a moron, curse the tumbling dollar and fake my death off the side of a...

Week of Shame!

Since I already had a Buffy entry planned and I had to cop to my shame in the aftermath of the Peter Max interview, I've christened this the week of shame, wherein I will open my awful soul and let all the black things come crawling out. Enjoy! P.S. No more smoking in KC come June. Anywhere. I for one don't look forward to a world where I walk into a bar...

Thanks to Merry, the endless stream of robots shilling for dick pills and poker games are now blocked. You now have to type a little code number that appears in the comments box to make your post go through, but rest assured, no more ads for cialis will interrupt any petty bickering or childish namecalling from now on....

talking about talking about things is like talking about things

So, to my devoted fanbase, a part 2 of the vacation story/pictures should be coming by this weekend, and I have stories about piano lessons (I'm learning to read sheet music, which really hurts my brain like I was 14 and got dropped in algebra class all over again) and fishing (on a boat!) and some more ever-ponderous thoughts on music I'm listening to (Peter Haskett and Raymond Huffman of Shut Up...

if you want to talk to me then shut your fucking mouth

No more comments, at least not until I start paying for MT or something. Today was the thoughtpeach.com team's own Tet Offensive, and suffice to say, we weren't the ones wearing pointy hats. Somewhere around 600 spam comments were logged by fer, the most evil internet spiderobot motherfucker ever shat out of some technologically savvy cocksucker's syphillitic brain. The thing that irks me is, I could totally understand if it were pushing...

Cause when it rains, it pours. This comment was logged a few hours ago, under the wily alias WishToRemainUnknown: The name Fox Logic is a copyright name of TechSonic Network. This artical should be taken down and renamed or writer will be charged for stealing the name. http://www.techsonic.net/policy.htm Read the bottom of the page.

look ma, no shame

My first plagiarist. Literally, I'm almost speechless. Obviously not enough so that it stopped me from depositing some flash-bang snark (though it's so swallowed by awe that it's not particularly witty or pride-inducing). But really, if you're gonna steal shit, steal it from reputable sources. But when you swipe verbiage from the mouths of faceless wanks on the inertnet, you've successfully devolved about as far down as you can go. But don't...

born • died • reborn

I'm starting this on a Sunday morning. Who knows when it'll actually see the light of day. Sometime around noon on Monday (9/13) I lost thoughtpeach. It went down in the midst of trying to get my vanishing email dilemma solved and while I began asking repeatedly about the status of one, the other and then both, I grew a bit more concerned. By the time I got home, thoughtpeach had vanished...

In my redesign, i seem to have buggered up my monthly archives. if you troll thru the individual ones (and god bless you if you do) everything comes up fine, but the monthlies have taken it on the chin. If anyone knows anything about MT and can help me, please help me. also, if anyone knows how to set up category archives, I'd appreciate that too. someone just fired off a bottle...
