The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I know I'm getting older, but.... fuck me, they get weirder every time.

The new video editing computer made quick work of this weekend's movie.

Last year with the old system, it took 2 hours to render a 7 minute movie.

This year, it took 45 seconds.

She said she believes in me, and that is why I now have this technological masterpiece.

She believes in me.

Can't ever recall being told that before....

Took on a job being a nanny.

Or would that be a manny?

Friends are going through some life changes. Selling their house, moving downstate, starting new jobs. They have a 2-yr old, and a 9-mo old and their hired nanny recently flaked out on them.

So, the dude took over.

Going well so far.

I joke that I'm the new Mrs. Doubtfire, but he had the advantage of taking care of his own kids, in the house he lived in. I still have to look though every cupboard just to find a sippy cup.

"Can I tell you that I think about you all the time?"

Well, you can, but I know that's not the truth....

Fuck, I don't even think about me all the time.

Maybe I'm just getting more cynical, or the bubble of my world is nothing but people lying all the time....

Today is one of those days that reminds me that hindsight is 50/50.

My facebook memories from today reminded me of a project we used to work on with another team of people.

It occurred to me that the two people who provided the most practical work to make the project successful from the foundation of it never actually received any credit for that.

Funny how that works.

If you're actions rarely to never match your words, no one is under any obligation to believe what you say.

My good friend once described truth as “transactional value”. If you lie, he said, your words lose transactional value.

If you use truth to increase the transactional value of your words, or if you use the truth so that someone is obliged to believe you the next time, you’re actually infinitely a bigger scammer than the biggest liar out there.

It has been a while.

But I'm guessing it's a "never again" thing at this point.

Aww... I do miss doing them. But, that's another thing in the never again pile.

Of all things, I think it is the blatant, in the face lack of appreciation that gets me the most...

Went to Toronto for the Lady Gaga show this weekend.

It's nice to be able to just fuck off to another country on a whim....

I hope the site is getting a lot of money from those godforsaken Trump ads...

I think it’s ads based on your search history. I see ads for vacations, shoes, and seafood seasoning. Lol

I'm definitely not searching for anything about Trump.

If they were based on my search history I'd be getting restaurants, song lyrics, and home improvement....

Again, the second you think someone might be a little different, they prove to you that they're the same as every other one.

Person: I need some information.

Me: Sends link to information.

P: I can't open that link.

M: Link works for me.

P: I'm using Safari on my iPhone

M: We go through this every time. Try a different browser.

P: Oh, ok.

And then silence.

Not a thank you. No follow-up. Nothing....

Typical.

I should really just stop helping people.
