revenge over ice

Friday, July 14th, 2006

So these idiots haven’t raised one cent of capital after nearly two years traveling non-stop. So far, ZERO return on $800,000 in expenses. Yay! I really don’t give a shit about them not raising money (since there’s plenty of dough in the management company’s coffers to pay my measly salary) but I am, however, concerned [...]

when life is the pits, don’t take the bull

Friday, July 14th, 2006

Patchwork Hair Boss: Did you hear? A pit bull attacked a baby (Mmmmkay). So you be careful with your pit bull there (here we go again) Beatrix Kiddo: Hmmm…how did it happen? PHB: The parents were trying to introduce the baby to their dog and the dog ate the baby’s face I can’t believe I have to [...]

rage against the machine

Wednesday, July 12th, 2006

In my house we are musically inclined. Which means that we play loud music on the weekend when we DJ and create new sounds in the garage/studio. Being ever the considerate neighbors, we only play music between 11:00am and 5:00pm. Across the street, the lost cast of 90210, has moved in. They’re all teenagers and I [...]

working from home

Tuesday, July 11th, 2006

Working from home involves hard work: 1. Catch up with my Netflix queue 2. Write a posting for my blog 3. Go to the gym and work out on improving my leg pressing poundage 4. Plan out my next vacation 5. Veg out in front of TV watching The Wounded Woman’s Channel (aka Lifetime) 6. Persecute [...]

decoding the VC EA posting

Tuesday, July 11th, 2006

Gather ’round admin wanna be’s. I shall decode for you those enticing Executive Assistant job postings you see on craigslist.org: $100K = Blackberry, cell phone, VPN connection, ball-and-chain, and your time is no longer yours  Assist Board of Directors = Bottle feed and change diapers  Challenging opportunity = Yawn Demanding Managing Director = Micromanaging fiend [...]

the devil wears pink

Sunday, July 9th, 2006

Pink shirts and scandalous Puma shoes; none of which do much to augment the credibility of a 50 year old but at least he’s so cool. In that small corner of his mind anyway. Today I went to the theater to catch the matinee show of The Devil Wears Prada. May I digress here for [...]

ring of fire

Saturday, July 8th, 2006

The demon in pink (the new black…five years ago) decided that we need to be more cohesive as a team. By which he probably means that I need to do yet more things to ease the huge workload of the partners. So he called for an offsite meeting. Just as I was dreaming of fun things [...]

fascism anyone?

Friday, July 7th, 2006

I came across this article, Fascism Anyone?, by Laurence W. Britt. It identifies 14 common points that defined the infamous fascist regimes of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Suharto, and Pinochet. Go ahead and have fun finding the similarities with our hopeless government: 1. Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism. From the prominent displays of flags and [...]

hear her roar

Tuesday, July 4th, 2006

Thanks to the vacation dilemma of a few months back, I recently got to take time off. Because the “boys” are utterly unable to function without assistance, we hired a temp. Now, I took the time to meet with the job agency guy, show him around the barn (or office, whatev), and converse for an [...]

pay off an official

Saturday, July 1st, 2006

The worst refereeing in the 2006 World Cup has come courtesy of Luis Medina Cantalejo, some Spanish asshole who has royally fucked up every game he’s gotten his filthy paws into. Basically, he was promoted to officiate the matches at the finals after other referees failed to meet some already very low standards. So far [...]
