False modesty?
Jul 15th
Is that when you don’t think many people will like your product so you aren’t prepared when the downloads outstrip your site’s capacity?
Yeah, Dr. Horrible (who is apparently still developing his evil nemesis abilities) can’t keep up with the demand. Patience. Or go to iTunes. Patience is cheaper! But don’t just write it off. It’s good enough to keep trying.
Not much happening here
Jul 15th
Just hanging out, mostly at home and sometimes at Ladawn’s. She’s forcing sharing The Office and Sex and the City with me. I didn’t bother with either when they were on TV. I guess I should have.
Tonight I went to Grammar Girl’s reading/book signing. Unfortunately they ran out of books a half hour before the thing officially started so I missed out. I’ll still get her book (Grammar Girl’s Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing) but won’t be able to get it signed.
Also tonight was the world premier of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Wait, Dr. Horrible just twittered that the international(?) isn’t working yet.

I’ve just started watching the Robin Hood series (yay, Netflix) and I’ve learned something already.
There are a few nice looking Englishmen out there after all.
Gas prices
Jun 2nd
Just for shits and giggles. I finally cleaned out the gas receipts from my wallet. I usually get the cheapest and regularest I can find:
01/06 – 2.919 per gallon
02/28 – 3.019
02/29 – 2.999
03/07 – 2.999
03/13 – 3.199
03/25 – 3.159
04/21 – 3.299
05/01 – 3.399
05/09 – 3.439
05/17 – 3.609
06/02 – 3.919
That’s just the debit records. A lot of time I pay cash, or Casey pays when I drive him around.
Freaked me the frak out!
May 14th
I downloaded a couple of ring tones from J.C. Hutchins’ 7th Son site a few weeks ago and totally forgot I’d actually assigned one to “reminders” on my new phone.
More from JC Hutchins at Myxer
I’m washing dishes and suddenly I hear this laugh. A laugh I’d heard a lot listening to 7th Son awhile back. FREAK! Seriously, my heart actually raced for a minute until I remembered the ring tone.
To check out more (FREE!) 7th Son ring tones.
Plus, there’s a new anthology series coming out soon called 7th Son Obsidian. Short stories in the 7th Son world. I can’t wait.
I can’t wait to see J.C. at Dragon*Con this year and give him a big ole squishy hug. I’m hoping closer to the event he organizes his Beta Clone Army to all wear their t-shirts at the same time and be an actual little Army.
Too funny!
May 7th
A few weeks ago during WI3D we discussed the Indian Nipple Song. I came across this video this morning, twice as funny as the girl obviously believes she’s singing correctly IN ENGLISH!

Finally, a reason to go to WalMart!
Apr 13th
Actually, I’ve bought at least 6 of these bags over the last few months and they are damn handy for more than groceries. I just keep forgetting to put them back in the car after unloading!
