hell’s handmaiden

I’ve been tagged twice now for that “Eight Things” things that is floating around the blogosphere, once by The Anonymous Atheist and once by Kristi of PinkProzac. I suppose I’d better make my list.

But first… the rules run something like this.

- We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
- Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
- People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
- At the end of your blog post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
- Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

1. I have a room full of computers– four that I use all the time, plus a very old laptop.
2. I have a habit of taking those computers apart and then not putting them back together all the way so that my room full of computers is a room full of computers with their guts dangling out. Mind you, these are the computers I use. They still work.
3. I have a rat. I love my rat. The rat lives on my desk ( as did our recently deceased friend ) with all the computers, and he occasionally types for me. He is a poor speller.
4. I won’t spend $15 on pants, but I’ll spend $130 on a graphing calculator in a heartbeat.
5. I have a blog. Shhhh…
6. I hung “A Correlated History of EARTH” on the wall in the bathroom so that I can memorize it in my… um… spare time.
7. I like to skate (skateboard) and I love my snowboard– the latter, plus easy access to the mountains, is the best thing about Colorado. I picked up both sports in my thirties.
8. I lived in Austin, Texas for many years. I miss the food terribly. People here do not know “spicy”. What gets served as “hot” in Colorado is “flavorless” in Austin. Plus, restaurants here cover mexican food in this nauseating green stew that they call “green chili”. It isn’t. It is barely even green. Green chili looks like this. It does not look, nor does it taste, like greasy puke. I’d like to send all the restauranteurs in the area on a field trip to say, Magnolia Cafe– best huevos rancheros ever, and again, notice that the green chili is green and does not look wet sick– or Guero’s, which by the way looks very little like it does in that Tarantino film. Tarantino made it look about a quarter its actual size, for one.

And now, the winners…
