Off a roof.

From 2005 to 2008 I maintained a blog about my experiences working in the drug test industry. Every Sunday I revive one of those experiences here. The following was originally posted July 17, 2008.

Off a roof. Looks like Ted over at SoCal Cabbie got picked for a random test. Unfortunately it wasn’t a […]

Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, week GLUB GLUB GLUB

No show this week. It got pre-empted by some basketball thing maybe? Who knows. All I know is I didn’t get to watch Russell and Boston Rob crash into each other with a massive fiery explosion, and that makes me SADFACE.

I’m kind of glad for the off-week, though, because there’s an interesting topic […]

Movie Review: The Invention of Lying

Occasionally a movie can sell itself to me entirely on its premise alone. A preview can sway me if it shows me an actor I like, or a director I respect, or shows me a movie based on some franchise I’m already interested in… but rarely do I see one that makes me think, “That […]

The Downside

One of the downsides to making a commitment like “one update every day” is that you end up with stretches of time where there’s just nothing to update with. The inspiration just isn’t there. But you have to put up something because it’s routine at this point, you know? Suck it up.

The idea today […]

Revenge of the Three Unrelated Things

The First: I’m playing way too many Final Fantasy games right now to not do an in-depth blog-thing about it. The last of the Peemeister backlog goes up this weekend, so I’ll start my Final Fantasy whatever the weekend after that. I’m excited about it, but then I get excited about every silly thing I […]

“As a head in a jar, I envy the dead.”

George Foreman, Lucy Liu and Leonard Nimoy I can understand. I’m willing to buy, in the context of a humorous sci-fi cartoon, that we will develop functional head-in-a-jar technology sometime in the next twenty or thirty years.

Richard Nixon? Well, he was still alive when the series was active, so the same logic applies. This […]

Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, week five

The episode opens with Coach leading everyone in “Dragonslayer Chi” on the beach. Everyone’s playing along, especially Sandra and Courtney, who were openly mocking him. Everyone but Russell, who decided to play some Survivor instead and find him an immunity idol. This is why I loved Russell so much last season: he never stopped […]

He is The Stig.

Didn’t get around to catching Survivor this weekend. I had plenty of time, but Peanut gets mad at me if I watch it without her, and I don’t want to get the broom again. Rest assured, I’ll get back to picking on Coach at some point in the next day or two.

All of this […]

Just plain rude.

Once again, I missed Survivor on Thursday, so it’s Peemeister today and Survivor tomorrow. Enjoy!
