http://www.perardi.com/blog Things from my life, things from the tech, things from the voices in my head. Fri, 11 Aug 2006 03:40:53 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Yes, this summer, I basically abandoned this thing. Now, though, I'm back. Hopefully. Unless I get busy again. Or I just get lazy. But for now, back. Oh, and for those wondering where I was: I was in jail for threatening to bash somebody's skull in. [kidding] Actually, I was in jail for ... http://www.perardi.com/blog/?p=203 Now that's just fancy. More later. http://www.perardi.com/blog/?p=202 It's been a while since I posted any designs on here (or anything at all.) So, a brief tale of half-assing an advertisement. I was dreading preparing this ad. My fear: rainbows. I hate rainbows. Hate 'em. Big bright screaming primary colors, clamoring for your attention. So fuckin' gaudy. So, of ... http://www.perardi.com/blog/?p=201 I just got back from seeing Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Yes, I went to the midnight showing. Why? I have no resistance to peer pressure. The movies was shockingly full. Somebody had to come into our theater before the show began and beg us to leave no empty ... http://www.perardi.com/blog/?p=200 I swear, I will post something, you know, meaningful, tomorrow. Maybe I'll tell the story of the most uncomfortable high school health class ever... http://www.perardi.com/blog/?p=199 A fresh message in my inbox: New comment on your post #196 "The eternal question."

Yes, fine, I've been terribly negligent. It's just that I've been terribly busy with...things. I can't say really tell ... http://www.perardi.com/blog/?p=198 An e-mail I received from my mom last night: The Tony Awards are on tonight. I heard they are called the "Gay Super Bowl". That's just mean. I think I'm going to arrange for her to go on a standup tour. http://www.perardi.com/blog/?p=197 Boxers or briefs? The greatest question of our time is pondered on Slate. Their answer: boxer briefs. My answer to this question: anything but tighty-whities. I think roughly 0.1% of men actually look good in those things. And those 0.1% have already been snatched up by the underwear advertisers. http://www.perardi.com/blog/?p=196 Sorry for the lack of posts. Work started up again this week, and I've had a whole load of other things to take care of. Anyway, two horrible things: 1. The Other Family. Obscene captions for wholesome Family Circus cartoons. Most of pretty obvious sexual jokes, but some are pure genius. 2. ... http://www.perardi.com/blog/?p=195 Yes, I know, 6/6/06, it's stupid. Whatever. Everybody knows the world will end in 2012. But it's still fun to play around with the date. Anyway, I've created a playlist of violent and depressing songs to celebrate the day. Given my music library, wasn't that difficult. I've put it up here ... http://www.perardi.com/blog/?p=194
