    Night School is the last time I posted stats here. So this is probably due. This Yaketystats graph records the daily hits for each site in green and pink. The gray is a total of the two. I had it go back to April first to show our spring load compared to how we are…

    I watched a commercial where traffic enforcement officer pulled over a pig in a convertible who hands over his phone when requested for identification. The officer questions it. The pig explains. The officer remains skeptical. Personally, I think it should continue with the officer saying, “Since you’ve unlocked your phone and handed to me, I will…

    A coworker asked me how long a certain song was playing in the lobby. I responded that I posted about it on Facebook and can find out from that. Only I could not find it. I went to my page and hit End until I was too far back in time. Then I used the…

    Of any play, this is the one I know the best. In 7th grade, we were supposed to do this play. Not an abridged version, but the whole thing. I was only Barnardo, and even memorizing that stressed me to the breaking point. Thankfully, I was able to transfers schools and get out of it. At…

    An The Atlantic article, Dating on the Autism Spectrum, I read last weekend sent me reading more about the Autism Spectrum again. This would be the fourth or fifth time.

    The Crippled God by Steven Erikson My rating: 4 of 5 stars For a couple years a coworker told me to read this series. I bought the first book, but it sat on the shelf as a reminder. Finally, I caved, and he gave me the rest of the series. It started off confusing and…
