Election Day

the hell with mccain, palin, obama and biden. what is up with the state candidates?

wouldn’t it just be more sane if we armed them all with boxing gloves or semi-automatics and let them have at each other like they appear to want to? either that or wouldn’t it just be nice if they would get over their sorry-assed, egotistical and useless selves so the rest of us can watch the early morning news in peace?

i vote we each donate a dollar so they can, collectively, get their resumes re-written to be somewhat accurate.

so what with the lies. just make them stop!

election day is my next infusion day. we can only hope that 8 pm will roll around and either the candidates will have decided to play nice - or i’ll be overcome enough to make them stop on my own. in my own head.

eight! eight!! eight!!! eight!!!! yeah we we all love eight!!!!! how many is eight??????

One! One!! One!!! One!!!!

yeah we we all love one!!!!! how many is one??????

with only one day left of this infamously consumer month (and, hopefully, only one day left to even buy that horrid pink spray tan), i’m supposed to be feeling better. alas, i’m not. in fact, i think i might actually be getting sick. it’s either that or this chemo cocktail really sucks, blows and does everything else negatively imaginable. i’ve had a good yet busy week at work (yeah - a software usability project - finally!) - but even sitting at the desk and not moving around a lot has left me feeling worn out, feverish and more sleepy than usual. maybe i’ll take tomorrow off. it’s not like i don’t have the time, after all.

with only one day left, if i play my cards right i might not have to rush out tomorrow - or go out at all. and maybe i can actually watch those movies i bought a few weeks ago. or catch some of the sesame street episodes.

all in all, one is not a lonely number. it’s the number we love. because it’s the number of tomorrow.

What’s Wrong with the World?

as you know (how could you not - unless you live in a snowdrift), october is breast cancer awareness month. bfd. we all know not to get me started on that one. but you can feel free to get me started on this:

breast cancer awareness spray tan

or this:

learn to knit for the cause

or this:

avalon pink ribbon totally not waterproof watch

ok that’s not funny at all - but a person who bought this also bought this:

no fair…you have to click the link

now *that’s* funny - and not necessarily something i would admit to, what with buying a totally not waterproof watch and all.

now do you understand when i say everything is out there getting on the bandwagon!

i’m going back to r & r now - and to count the days until this stupid month is over. i’ll be avoiding amazon until then.

What to Do, What to Do

a lot of you nice people ask me “what can i do for you?” some of you just take things upon yourselves and do what you want (like send me boatloads of “this can cure you” bullshit that’s not even close to viable or feasible - funny, most of this crap comes from the woodstock generation - what, did all of you do bad ’shrooms or something and mess up your thought processes). regardless of which camp you belong to, there really isn’t anything you can do for me right now (and when there is something i’ll ask) - but there *is* something you can do:

save a kid.

a colleague of mine is raising cancer research funds for the texas children’s hospital.

donate.

a lot.

yes, the folks raising the funds are gamers. they’re subversive. they wear funny tee shirts and stay awake for days on end when new games are released. they’re bad bad people. yet they care enough to band together to raise money for people they don’t know and have no affiliation with - and band together in the way they know best: playing video games (and drinking mountain dew, and eating doritos, and…). check out the site:

subversive gamers saving lives

so if you really want to do something that *will* make a difference, sponsor a gamer. but please please please please PLEASE do not try to join any of the teams unless you know what you’re doing in the gaming world - and online solitaire and sudoku don’t count.

“Turn Your Rifle into a Bazooka”

Filed under: The Power of the Intertubes, Welcome to My World — me @ 2:55 pm

that’s the subject of an email i got today. needless to say it had nothing to do with rifles or bazookas.

Interruptions

another day filled with interruptions. i lost my connection to my work servers earlier (thanks to my password blowing up). it’s all fixed now - but it took a huge bite out of things.

an update - and comments to comments - are going to have to wait.

i’ve decided to be nice to myself tonight - so i’m going to crawl onto the wedge and read more than just a few pages of my book. i’m going to shoot for a few chapters, in fact. and i’m going to drink some milk. yeah. milk.

there’s lots to tell…like the latest infusion story - and the conversation i had with amber today about “talking about cancer” - and all of the usual day-to-day things that make my day-to-day just a little different.

but it will have to wait.

sorry folks - you’re going to have to entertain yourself with your own lives tonight (or better yet, crawl into the bathtub and play in some bubbles - make your own fun and don’t share). i’ll see you tomorrow.

Demarcator Slaughteringly Realism

these are the first few words of one of my most recent comments spam. how interestingly appropriate :-)

Spam on Wheat With Cheddar, Bacon and Crickets

Filed under: Cancer, The Power of the Intertubes, Welcome to My World — me @ 4:12 pm

in an email sent earlier today, m said that my most recent bout of spam might be leftovers from the “barn door” being left open. (where did he learn how to talk using “little house on the prairie” colloquialisms, me wonders? has he been spending too much time chatting with wannabe cowboys - or has he secretly moved to wisconsin to help some rancher or other with calf-nutting?) well i did think about that, but…there are too many coincidences to validate this. first of all, the spam on this account stopped completely after i made sure all of the errors with regard to the registrar were taken care of. of course *this* could be totally coincidental; however…very early saturday morning those wingnuts i pay to host my sites did what they like to do very early on saturday mornings: brought all of my sites down without thinking that maybe, just maybe i’d like to be advised about such things (stoopid boiz). when the sites reappeared an hour later the spam on this site’s comments area started back up - and the spam on an email associated with another of my sites (the other one that’s well-indexed but, unlike mydisease, never ever had a registrar faux pas) increased massively. so although m’s theory works on paper and probably works in reality, i’m not dealing with “real reality” when it comes to my web host. it’s not holding true here.

good news on the comments on mydisease is the spam is now coming from argentina. with a little luck it’ll work its way back to paris (16th arondissement, to be exact) relatively quickly. i mean it’s made it from paris to argentina in a relatively short time. let’s just hope the wannabe cowboys don’t suddenly realise they’re no more qualified to be cowboys than i am and hold the progression up. and when the loop is completed the little guy in the 16th arondissement had better send candies and croissants as a peace offering.

Spam on White, Hold the Onions, Extra Cheese

Filed under: Cancer, The Power of the Intertubes, Welcome to My World — me @ 12:14 pm

as promised…here are some examples of the spamination that’s coming through the account. i’ve taken the liberty of removing the pertinent working links so that those of you who don’t know not to ignore spam don’t further muck up your already mucked up computers. (whenever computers are sold to people who don’t know what they’re doing and are too lazy, too unconcerned, too righteous to [care to] learn, those people should have to make a choice: either also purchase, and READ and be tested on, an “internet for dummies” book [no pass test, no computer] - or sign a waiver that releases all liability of the store, the manufacturer[s], etc. for the consumers’ self-imposed ignorance - and guarantees, under penalty of law, that these same individuals won’t bother those of us that do take the time to learn with their inane questions.) have fun!

i did a little tweaking to my domain registration and thought the spam ended. it didn’t. well it did for a day - but it started up again last night. the comments are getting more nonsensical (if that’s possible). i keep messing up and deleting them, though. i’ll do my best to remember not to do that and publish a few for your reading (or should i say decoding) pleasure.
