Could someone please translate this article from the Express Gazette? It’s about Helen Hunt, and it has a very odd photo [Warning: It may not be safe for work].
I’m certain that the translation will be nowhere nearly as entertaining as the stories I’m imagining, but I’d like to know what it says anyway.
…you might want to look at the past couple of entries in The Happiest Geek on Earth, which cover both Apple’s latest “Switch” ads and Microsoft’s fake “Switch” testimonial. Even for non-techies, it’s a interesting read.
I’ve been taking care of some programming projects as well as a major overhaul to my other blog, The Happiest Geek on Earth.
There’s be more stuff soon, but first I’m off to my parents’ house for Thanksgiving lunch.
There’s work aplenty to be done, and most of it is about getting work to be done. It’s meta-work!
Anyhow, all this work means that today’s entry — which is a long one detailing an appearance on a TV show on which I have appeared but have never seen — will have to wait until later tonight.
The party for the big 3-5 will take place on Saturday, November 9th at Big Trouble in Little China, better known as my house. Details and invitations to follow shortly.
Yes, that’s right: I will be turning 35 years old on November 5th
— but since that falls on a Tuesday, I’m having the party on the
following Saturday, the 9th. If you’ve been to the last two at this
place, you’ll know what kind of bacchanal I’m talking about.
How do I keep my youthful appearance? Two words: clean living.
Karaoke, September 2002. The next Kick Ass Karaoke will take place on
Wednesday, October 23rd. The guy in his underwear? He’s Carson T.
Foster, the host.
Okay, maybe not clean living. How ’bout just living?
One of the online comics I’ve been reading for a very long time is Bruno, a strip written and drawn by Chris Baldwin. A critic from Newsbytes describes Bruno as “widely recognized as one of the best realized comic characters on the World Wide Web,” and it’s true. She’s been around for years, which has given Baldwin pleanty of time to turn her into a messed-up, perpetually sad, confused, directionless, misery-seeking missile.
Which makes her rather true-to-life — I think we all know at least one Bruno — and an entertaining read to boot.
Some Bruno comics:
If only Bruno would start listening to her cat: “I think you should stop being a neurotic, narcissistic nut, okay? No? Ah well…worth a try.”
(Cats never say or do anything sensible, but it is a fictitious cat, after all.)

I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what’s best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes
I want a girl with the right allocations
Who’s fast, thorough, and sharp as a tack
She’s playing with her jewelry
She’s putting up her hair
She’s touring the facilities
And picking up the slack
I want a girl with a short skirt and a loooooooooong jacket…
I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who uses a machete, to cut her red tape
With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tainted glass
She is fast, thorough, and sharp as a tack
She’s touring the facilities and picking up the slack
I want a girl with a short skirt and a long, long jacket
I want a girl with smooth liquidation
I want a girl with the right dividends
At City Bank we will meet accidentally
We’ll start to talk when she borrows my pen
She wants a car with a cupholder armrest
She wants a car that will get her there
She’s changing her name
From Kitty to Karen
She’s trading her MG for a white Chrysler LeBaron
I want a girl with a short skirt and a loooooooooong jacket
