So I’m checking out my bracket (Louisville: Welcome to the Dead to Me list) and I notice that the main page of the Yahoo bracket thingy says that my bracket is in the 98th percentile for brackets. I’m alllll excited until I realize that this does not mean that my bracket is better than 98%…

25 Things, a crosspost from Facebook
1) I blog at laineyd.com. (I know, Duhhh right?) 2) I just found a problem with around 900 of my employer’s W-2s for 2008. I hope my boss remembers this the next time I forget to do something minor. (I talk about W-2s a lot this time of year, it’s just a weird thing about…
Fun Facts
Here are two facts I learned today while waiting at Max & Erma’s for dinner: 1) The NYSE stock symbol for Harley Davidson is HOG 2) Well, crap. I thought I had another funny one. The NYSE symbol for Starwood Hotels – which I thought owned the Hilton hotel chain – is HOT. I thought…
I’m back, bitches!
Woohoo!!! Scorched earth* theory works again! (that is, renaming my old database laineyd3 and then recreating it all again). Looks like the only thing to get lost was that stupid design that I hated anyway. Maybe I’ll stay plain a little while. Hooray!

1977: A Moderately Better Year For Music

1995: A Pretty Crappy Year for Music
So, it’s nearly midnight KL time, I can’t sleep due to somebody’s coughing (actually, due to both Gene and my coughing together) and yet, I can’t shiv the cause of this insomnia. Since I can nap tomorrow and Gene can’t, here is a very interesting meme-whatchamacallit that I stole from another site: 1) Go to…
WTG USA
A few hours ago, I went down to read next to the pool and have lunch. At that time, Obama was in the lead with around 190 electoral votes. The BBC was very careful to not call any races too early so their totals were usually different from CNN.com’s totals (really, CNN? Calling Kentucky with…
23 hours til departure…
This time tomorrow we’ll be up in the air. Yaaaay! There is still so much to do. I need to pack my carry on bag, finish packing my big bag and – of course – more work! After all the years where I felt like I was going it alone in payroll, it is so…
A crazy dream…
So I dreamt (dreamed? one of those) that Gene and I were flying to Malaysia via Germany (which we are). I know our itinerary pretty thoroughly and I know that the planes are big ones (which YES is at least 10% of the reason I agreed to this silliness) and I am really really looking…
