This isn’t the entire document (a bit more legalese than I’m in the mood to type), but one particularly choice excerpt:

One of the things that’s so difficult about night shoots is trying to sleep during the day. I got home from work at 7 am, slept for three hours and am now wide awake with no hope of getting any more shuteye.
Ugh. I have to be back at work at 8pm.
I’m hoping that if [...]
From Unfogged:
Think you’re clever? Well, fuck you, clown.
The comment thread is so funny it’s frightening.
Couch of the Day (see, I told you I’d be back to the same old shit):
I’m not really digging the piss-yellow template, though.
So what happened was my template got corrupted somehow – hence that display of gibberish you saw.
After getting ZERO help from blogger’s usually wonderful tech support, I actually had a Live Journal user suggest changing the template.
So, hopefully it’s fixed.
Just so you know, this blog is (and has [...]
I’m trying to get Blogger’s tech support to look at it.
UPDATE: It’s fixed, but at the cost of my entire sidebar (not such a big deal – I was thinking about taking out all the blog-rating buttons anyway – all they do is piss me off, and the blogroll’s easily rebuilt).
Thanks a lot, Blogger.
Actually, no [...]
From an article in the LA Times:
“The cool ocean breezes and clouds that meteorologists call Southern California’s natural air conditioner broke down this year, creating record heat that is expected to continue through October.”
Oh, I don’t want to hear that – it’s way hotter than normal for this time of year, and two people [...]
During my foolish youth, I decided I didn’t need to wear flip-flops in the gym showers (’cause I was a rebel like that) and as a result have Plantar warts on one of my feet. They’re not very large – mostly due to my doctor being pretty vigilant about removing them before they get [...]
I have done nothing today except keep my leg propped up (it’s almost stopped bleeding but I stood on it for awhile tonight and that didn’t help) and laugh like hell at some poor clueless guy – which, since I think he’s the number one site on the web today I’m sure you’ve all seen, [...]
Thanks for the well-wishes, everyone!
Now that the bruising and swelling (of which there was quite a bit) has gone down, the bites themselves don’t look all that bad – they’re fairly superficial and should heal up within a week or so. Also, there’s no tendon damage (that would have put me into another line of [...]
I normally walk to the gym. It’s close to my house, I’m not burning fossil fuels and I have to spend less time on those horrible cardio machines (a whole room full of people simultaneously running to nowhere while completely ignoring one other gives me nightmares about chain-smoking, philosophy-reading French hamsters).
Yesterday, as I was marching [...]
