TGIF

On May 15, 2009, In Miscellaneous, by Yoshi

Today is the day that I am finally removing the perm catheter from my shoulder. To say that I’m grateful is an understatement. This means I’ll be able to take a REAL shower (instead of a semi shower and spongebath), the first one in about 6 months. This is such a relief. I’m so happy!

You may have noticed a somewhat new feature on the right sidebar. (the only sidebar lol) I’ve added a linkroll, which is really my delicious.com bookmarks. It’s just a list of the latest 5 links I’ve found interesting. I’d like to say it’s something like girlrobots friday links, except it’s not only on friday and it’s not a post. Kinda like a quickie update. (Similar to my mini-posts I used to have) As for the miniposts, I’m working on getting those back. Because really, the overheards are probably some of the funniest stuff I’ve read on here.

Speaking of Fridays, I plan to again open up Free For All Friday this month. If you don’t know what that is, it’s basically a chance for you to make a post on this site. What’s the big deal, right? Well, since FFAF is all about pimping your site, it’s a real good chance to get some links to your own site (or any site) and to also get some new readers. I’m working on the logistics of how to do it, and will keep you posted. (provided I remember!) Any wordpress users out there who have done FFAF please feel free to share with me how you do it. Do you create a special account? Or do you make everyone make their own account?

First Thanksgiving on my own, and we all got through it.

On November 27, 2008, In Miscellaneous, by Yoshi

This is my obligatory Happy Thanksgiving post, since, everyone is doing it. I figure I’d take the time out of making food (ok, we only got mashed potatoes and cranberries) and make this post. I see a lot of other folks are wishing thanksgiving, like here, here, here, here, here, here, and so on. Those are just ones I’ve just seen on my news reader as of now.

I also want to remind everyone that it is Free for all Friday (FFAF) tomorrow, and Danalyn has opened up her blog for FFAF posts. So go on over there and make a post on her blog, she’ll appreciate it, I know.

Also, don’t forget to visit the Freaky Japan site which we created. I’m sure you’ll have some good laughs, I promise!

P.S. Can anyone tell me where the title of this post is quoted from?

Free for all Friday

On October 30, 2008, In Miscellaneous, by Yoshi

No, not here. I forgot all about it. Over at Danalyn’s. She remembered that it’s free for all friday and opened it up. Meanwhile, I’ve forgotten all about it and hopefully I’ll remember it for next month. Although I have to admit, will people even be blogging on the day after Thanksgiving? Anyways, take a visit over there, make a post. You’ll most likely be reading a post from me there.

Also if you haven’t already, check out the web comic, A Little Scary. Tomorrow, (yes Halloween) you get to find out what Stan’s costume is. I don’t know about you but I’m highly anticipating it.

TGIF

On May 23, 2008, In Miscellaneous, by Yoshi

This week has been slow. I’ve been laid up in bed or on the couch resting because I feel sick or nauseous or both. Recovery is crazy from surgery. But I’m still doing a TGIF post today because it’s what I do and that’s how I roll.

I just want to remind everyone that next Friday is Free for all Friday, and if you’re not familiar with FFAF, it’s where you get to guest post on my blog. It’s fun, it’s a way to pimp your site, possibly get a couple new readers (or lose them! LOL). So look for it next Friday.

cybr came to the dark side and re-activated his World of Warcraft account. Leveling is so much faster in that game now, and well, I think he’d love to see Outland. It’s pretty damn cool, and it’s a lot of fun. We’ll see how that goes.

Jen totally made LOL when I read a post about what one of her co-workers did with her telephone. You should read it, totally funny story! She’s too funny! And I’m so glad I know when she updates in my reader now!

It looks like Abraxus picked up Age of Conan recently and wrote a pretty good post about it. We’ve been considering picking it up. I think Meesh was really curious about it, so I think we’re probably going to end up going to Best Buy this weekend and picking it up. Or she will and we’ll try it out. I doubt it will run on our laptops, but you never know! We do all our gaming on the laptops, perhaps it’s time to change?

Finally, girlrobot posted her friday links as usual and posted a picture of the most awesome tattoo I’ve seen in a while! Check it out!

It’s Saturday here

On April 25, 2008, In Free For all Friday, by Yoshi

Hi! This is cybrpunk from cybrpunk.com and A Little Scary. It’s not actually Friday where I’m at (it’s noon on Saturday) but I think it’s still Friday where Yoshi lives so this still counts!

Anyway, I just thought I’d pop by and waste space on Yoshi’s site for a change instead of my own site. It’s like doing graffiti on the side of someone’s house but without the fear of getting caught or the colors and spattered clothes and birds flying around and stuff like that. Exactly. I’m glad you’re following me on that one.

Well, that’s all I got. I’m just not feeling all the entertaining at the moment. It’s like someone’s vacuumed all the funny out of me today. I think it’s because I have to clean the litter box yet and I know it’s not going to be pleasant. Not that it ever is but you get the idea. And the little cat likes to “help out” meaning that as I scoop up the poops he likes to try and bat it out of the scooper with his little paws. He’s very helpful.

Oh Hai!

On February 29, 2008, In Free For all Friday, by Yoshi

Daniel here… I just had to tell you, as is my tradition on FFAF, another story about Yoshi and I. As you know Yoshi and I go way back. And I do mean waaaay back. And before you ask, he is totally older than me. So anyhoo. One time, that last year we were in high school together (he was a senior and I was a freshman) we had decided to play this joke on the school. Yes the whole school. It was one of those pep-rally things. You remember those, all the cheerleaders and the football team would put on a production with the faculty and all? It was usually like 6th period…

Anyhoo, so Yoshi had this big idea that we were gonna go under the gym into the boiler room and blow up the school… Funny right?

Wait, no. That wasn’t me and Yoshi… It was a movie I had seen..

Huh. Well now my whole post is ruined… Better luck next month! :)

Leap Year Math

On February 29, 2008, In Free For all Friday, by Yoshi

So, today is February 29th. Yay leap year!

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I don’t remember ever being taught that leap year had actual rules of when it happens, and that sometimes there’s not a leap year when you’d expect there to be. They were talking about some mathematical equation on the radio yesterday and the people on the radio were very confused.

So, for those of you that, like me (and by me, I mean Katie of Kat Scratch Fever and KSF To-Go), were not taught the Rules of Leap Year, I present this simple algorithm!

if year modulo 400 is 0 then leap
else if year modulo 100 is 0 then no_leap
else if year modulo 4 is 0 then leap
else no_leap

Hopefully that clears it all up for you. Happy Friday!
PS: I’m running FFAF on my site, feel free to drop by and make a post!
