I might be going to jail because of this.

Thanks, I’m sending that to my Eugene, OR friend. She’ll crack up :)

I posted this in the Secret Santa thread, but the news is so awesome that I can’t help but share it here as well.

I got a new job! Starting the 22nd, I will be working for Automattic.

Hooray!

I just returned from a trip to Southeast Asia (Singapore and Bali, Indonesia), back in the region for the first time in almost 5 years.

Mangosteen is truly the Queen of Fruits.

I became a millionaire…briefly.

Our office settled a case and I went to pick up the checks. For one hour, I had $4.1 million dollars in my hand.

Was recently diagnosed as having ADHD-Combined Type by my doctor. After beginning medication, everyone (work and personal life) has been practically fawning over my new found calm and pleasant demeanor.

I still have my sarcastic tone, but it isn’t nearly as caustic. It’s…strange but liberating at the same time.

Yay, modern medicine!

I have had headaches and neck pain off and on since January 1st… funzors. I think I wrenched my neck when I was back home for the holidays.

Griddle:

Holy fuckballs Scrax, can you post the initial drawing he made too? I’d love to see what he drew.

I was going to wait until I had access to a scanner, but through a great feat of intelligence, I recalled that I had a camera. He had already seen the broken down clock at the thrift store and sketched out his idea before he decided to buy it.

so apparently i earned a couple weeks interest on the $130,000 that wasn’t mine ($180 worth). do i need to call these guys again? they already took out the $130,000 but trying to explain to a judge why i kept the $180 probably isn’t going to be pretty.

I went to a movie premiere for this little flick called The Book of Eli. We sat in Malcolm Mcdowell’s row. He brought his BABY. Luckily he makes quiet children so we didn’t have to have him kicked out of the theater.

Nellie · 2010-01-13T05:54:53.000Z

Not heard of that film, is it any good?

Leah_C · 2010-01-13T09:02:52.000Z

It’s only the best film Gary Whitta has every written!

TimJames · 2010-01-13T09:24:44.000Z

Just don’t start posting spoilers now that you’ve seen it.

Leah_C · 2010-01-13T09:35:05.000Z

I already accidentally did that in twitter with a review link, so it’s out of my system now :P

Tortilla · 2010-01-13T11:45:45.000Z

I’ve been informed by my employer that I’ll be going to Riga for two weeks on a business trip. The two week period would encompass my birthday, my wife’s birthday, and the superbowl.

Lame :(

Robert_Sharp · 2010-01-13T12:01:23.000Z

Ugh! That’s awful timing! I don’t even know where Riga is, either.

Tortilla · 2010-01-13T14:51:06.000Z

Latvia, so it will be nice and cold too. But I can’t bitch about that much since that’s been the weather here for a month.

divedivedive · 2010-01-13T14:56:23.000Z

And only six or seven hours of daylight this time of year. Not that you need me to sell you on it any further.

Tortilla · 2010-01-13T15:00:11.000Z

I’d forgotten that part. Last time I went to Riga it was in the summer and I enjoyed the long sunny days. Now I get to see the flipside I guess.
