No new essay this week. I've been happy and depressed and sleepless and well-taken-care of. And I have a Wii.
Elsewhere this past week:
On the Pop Blog:
It's done. I'm in my new home now. It's weird and oddly quiet.
On the Pop Blog:
The big move is nigh and I'm losing my mind. Join me in the MADNESS!
And recently:
On the Pop Blog:
It's Wednesday! Time to talk about a lesson I recently learned that you all probably know anyway.
Also this past week at the Pop Blog: A good trailer for the anime film Paprika, and a crappy trailer for the probably-crappy film Blind Dating.
Well, here it is. Everything that I haven't been saying for the last few months. This was hard for me to write, but I think I feel better for having done it.
Comments are off.
A little end-of-week look at the workings of my slumbering mind.
Enjoy!
(...and the beginning of another?)
It's taken a long time, but it looks like Dell is finally taking responsibility for their bad customer service. Check out this update in the Dell Saga.
Exciting! The results of my sleep study are in!
Ugh.
...wherein I tape things to my body and stick stuff up my nose to help me sleep better.
Enjoy!
A post! Good gravy!
Some fun details on our very first poker tournament. Enjoy!
I think this is the most honest I've even been, about my health, my life, everything.
Comments are off.
A Dell Customer Care manager left a message for me this afternoon in regards to the message I left on their executive line yesterday. She will call back around the same time tomorrow, so I'll be sure to be at my desk.
More tales of customer service woe, once more with Dell, with a little help from Philips USA.
Finally, a post about some of the fun of the last few weeks. Plus tons of links to my pictures over at Flickr.
A little catch-up as I recover from being sick yet again and prepare for a week of vacation wackiness.
Just sharing my Dell correspondence with y'all.
What happened to you Dell? You used to be good! Stay good, Dell! Stay good!
Pretty much what the title says. Just keepin' the peeps up on the 'sitch.
Or something.
The reason I didn't post this week was because I was fighting off bacterial pneumonia -- fluid in the lungs is not your friend.
No good reason for missing last week.
Thoughts on a recent conviction of an old school mate for sexual exploitation. I don't know if I made my point clearly, but it's there for your reading. Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves.
Details on a disturbing dream I had last night. Comments on my sanity will be deleted. Unless they are funny.
Today's all about body issues. If you don't want to hear about wart removal and new medications, don't read.
Otherwise, come on in.
Welcome to 2006! The first post of the year is a bit of a catch-up, letting you all know how our live are, you know, in *general*.
Enjoy!
After a couple weeks I'm back, continuing to talk about music. This time: Karaoke!
Where've I been? Stressed and distracted. I'm better now.
The recollection of a childhood song prompted some musical memories from the past.
This week's post is mostly for me. Go ahead and read it, if you are so inclined, but it's really just an exercise in remembering the good things in my life.
I kind of need it right now.
See below for details why.
Yesterday's post disappeared. It's back, but... weird...
This has not been a good month for pets. Pretty rough in fact in that we nearly lost a couple of them.
P.S. Important request at the end of the entry.
There are some changes in the world of Beddy-Bye Time. Good changes.
It's up! What exactly I thought of Serenity and Joss Whedon's issues.
It's spoiler-iffic, so don't read it unless you've seen the movie. Unless you don't care, in which case, go right ahead.
A little ramble on the season. ('Falling for you'! Hah! I KILL me!)
Plant them eight inches apart and water frequently! Hah!
Kids will happen eventually. Are we ready? Is it even possible to be ready? We don't think so.
Not much to say this week, so I'll ramble about the cats. That's always fun.
A sad one today, commemorating the loss of the friend.
An exciting post about nothing! It's like Seinfeld, only just text. And not very funny.
Enjoy!
In honour of the day, I'm updating "What I Saw Today..." a day early, with a good hard look at the number 34.
Excuse me while I editorialize.
What do you mean I didn't post anything yesterday?
Um.
Nuts. So damn busy, I clean forgot about it.
I think "feel the fury of my fanboy frenzy" is one of the best bits of alliteration I've ever written.
My post detailing some of the highlights of Westercon 58 is up. Go! Enjoy!
No post this week. I overextended myself at Westercon last weekend and ended up with a awful cold. I'll report on the con next week. For now, Lisa has a short rundown of the event.
This is it! The grand finale! The end of the wedding & honeymoon recap, as we swim with stingrays, pet the turtles, and avoid getting jacked in Jamaica!
Next week: Other crap.
Enjoy!
Finally! Part V is up. It's not as long as I hoped -- been so swamped
this week -- but it's there.
Enjoy!
No entry today. Of my four-person department one is on vacation, one is on training and one has been sick for three days.
It'll go up tomorrow. I have to finish writing it first.
Whups! Posted and forgot to post a notification again. Bad me.
Part IV of the honeymoon trip is up. Boy this sucker is getting long. I thought two installments at the outside. Well, next week should (hopefully) wrap it up. Maybe.
Enjoy!
Part 3 is up, covering The Magic Kingdom, Disney-MGM Studios and Sea World! Enjoy!
Now updated with pictures! Woo!
It's ready to go. I just need to attach some images and post it live tonight.
I did update yesterday, just didn't have time to swap out the graphic and such. It's there, just a few thoughts on the wedding. Hopefully I'll have time this weekend to churn through the 450 digital photos we took and have something cool on the honeymoon for next week.
New one is up! Just some final thoughts before the wedding, given that I likely won't have time to post until mid-May now.
Enjoy!

Well, a three-day training course has left me drained and exhausted. Plus all the wedding ridiculousness -- took Dave and Colin to get their tuxes fitted and the store was closed and empty at 12:00, when we had an actual scheduled appointment. Now we have to go back and do it all over again -- has made things a write-off again.
I promise one more post before the wedding. Sigh.
No new entry today. Went for tuxes, busy at work, and the little time I had at home was taken up by a visit from the local Welcome Wagon lady -- which wasn't even strange enough to generate a whole post out of. I might try to write something tomorrow, but likely this'll be it till next week. Watch the blog for more
The teeth are out. Will this be the last dental-reated entry? Who knows! Probably not!
-- Phil
Going out on a limb here, and opening myself up to serious hate mail, as I speak out on the horror I feel at the whole Terri Schiavo fiasco.
Next week: More about my teeth!
Part umpteen in the continuing saga of my teeth. At least there's an end in sight now.
Enjoy!
