I was talking to this chick and during the conversation we were having about the definitions of a hallway, closets came up. And coming out of closets shortly followed.
She took this opportunity to tell me that I cannot possibly ever be gay because of something in my eyes.

Yeah, I think the thing in your eyes she was referring to was her rack.

That would have made for a more interesting conversation, I will admit.

I learned about the hilarity which is The Canterbury Tales in fairy tale form, but still made for adults.  Apparently some editors, McKaye and Tatlock, in ~1912 decided they'd put the Canterbury Tales in modern english and clean up the stories so that there was no "coarse" material in it.  So I can't help but wonder what's in the books?  The parson's tale and also the parson's tale again?  There'd be no book!

Okay.

For the past, like, year or so, my computer's clock had been randomly resetting itself an hour back.  It'd happen while the computer was running at totally arbitrary times during the day.

My first assumption was that the BIOS's little battery had been lightly toasted by one power surge or another, and therefore periodically fucked up what time it was.  This was something I figured I couldn't fix, so I let it be.

I recall investigating the "Automatically adjust for daylight savings" setting and being sure that it is unchecked; it is.  I also made positive that my time zone setting is correct (Eastern Time), and it is.

Then, today, for the very first time, I noticed this little tab right here:



As an experiment, I made sure the time was set correctly on the computer (3:24 PM), then I hit the Update Now button.  Sure enough, the computer's clock jumped an hour backward, to 2:24 PM.

Every week, the time was being "resynchronized."  To an incorrect time.

"Cash cow" is an actual term. It refers to a product that has high market share but slow growth.

Other terms:

Star: High share, high growth
Problem child: Low share, high growth
Dog: Low share, low growth
Warhorse: High share, negative growth
Dodo: Low share, negative growth

In most people's terms it's a product that's not really going anywhere but is making a lot of money where it is... which is pretty much what that definition is saying.

Other translations:
Star: Today it is making assloads of money.  Tomorrow it will be making metric assloads of money.
Problem Child: Not making any fucking money today but it may grow up to be Bill Gates.
Dog: Aint making money today, aint making money tomorrow.
Warhorse: Making assloads of money today... but tomorrow it'll be glue.
Dodo: The housing market.

For the life of me, I cannot decide what to write as my thesis on the Clerk's Tale.  Is it an exemplum?  Is it just one huge satire?  What the fuck L'Envoy de Chaucer?

Anyway, what I learned today is that I like chocolate Silk.

The problem with the Envoy is that it seems to say the exact opposite of what the Clerk says about his tale, so it makes it painfully open to interpretation so I don't even know what to make the thesis of my paper because I can't decide if I feel it's terribly ironic or just horribly misogynistic.  And we had to do all this diction research on the tale of our choice and read all the analogues to the tale to help make up some sort of thesis on "whatever we want".  That is way too open for me to decide what to do.
