When Randall read The Bug by Ellen Ullman, he withdrew himself and complained of how sad he felt in response to the story. I knew it was the first time (in a long time) that he had read fiction and I assumed it must’ve been a good book! I’ve heard that the protagonist is a programmer in the 1980’s, and the bug is actually referring to a bug in code. I don’t want to attempt to summarize it any further, because I haven’t read it yet. I can say that Randall does recommend it, despite his reaction.
Yup. Randall got some snazzy posters for his home office and the first thing he did while being surrounded by pure positivity, was play tower defense for three days! So….the posters definitely work. If you get any of these Startup Vitamins, as they’re called, be sure to have enough willpower to use them for good.
Randall determined this equation after we both started working our first jobs and hated it. I don’t know if we’ll ever attain an account balance of $2.7 million dollars while there’s a still a bank that offers a 2% interest rate. However, the idea makes him happy and hopeful, and that is priceless.
Sorry babe. That’s life. Most people identify with Scribbles the Chihuahua more than PaaS. I sure do!
Randall claims that he programs in his dreams and I’ve heard that other programmers do too. I hear him mumbling commands in his sleep until he wakes up super excited to code! On the other hand, I can recall some of his bad dreams where he will yelp about zombies or installing servers. I suppose those two are equally bad. Poor thing.
I’m going to church tonight with my in laws and my love, who taught me all about “his Holiness”, the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I’m sure that’s what he’ll be pondering about at tonights service.
I just realized there’s no point in hiding my weight from him since he can just go online and analyze it. I really should cut back on the holiday feasting.
My sassy Lovebug said that to me! What a clever little brat. Still doesn’t pick his underwear up off the floor, nope!
My Honeybuns and I are very different, so this concern of Randall’s comes up at times. In desperation to assure him we will always have something to enjoy together, I have offered to join a guild(World of Warcraft). I like computer games where as Randall can become ultimately consumed in them. Therefore, out of our own safety and sanity, we haven’t joined a guild yet. He says his Ubuntu operating system would also be an obstacle to accessing the game; this is the main reason I appreciate Ubuntu. 😀 I’m sure it saves marriages.
The pattern had bewildered me. Its hair was strangely dented at random times and felt crinkled. One day, it felt compelled to expose its secretive habit, and I immediately felt remorse and affection for this characteristic hermit.
About two mornings ago, we had a candid moment while we were lazily reading the headlines in bed. I subscribe to the L.A. Times world news and Randall, to the subreddit, Awww. I was silently lamenting over the Syrian conflict and how their government may resort to using alleged chemical weapons on their own people… while Randall clamors over and exclaims an offbeat remark about this cute wittle puppy. He usually shows me a cute fuzzy wuzzy link every other morning, and I’ve come to realize that he reads these things first everyday! I have yet to catch up to his developer lifestyle. He is a dependent consumer as much as he is a faithful loyalist to his beloved Reddit and Hackernews communities– so much that if I ever use them, he finds it attractive. Nerd alert.
I rarely take Randall shopping with me when I shop for myself. He usually dies inside while feigning contentment. It kills me to see him so unhappy. He recalled this pretty nerdy anecdote when we did happen to go shopping together for the holidays and had passed by an office supply store. Yup, he actually said “the cool guys” did this. I just hope they had something to eat for lunch since they weren’t spending their money on a meal. There are more interesting comics to come of other times I take Randall into the real world on shopping trips where he does and says weird things.
