Stand up comics blogging? Awful idea. Pet blogs – now you’re talking.

Rosie O’Donnel is blogging. (site) She is doing stand up again too. Rosie is an amazing talent. Her blog brings humanity to celebrity. Check it out.

Okay, this blog is finally syndicated so all those professional bloggers (all three of you) can no longer look down on my site. You can now go to bloglines.com and get the skinny without surfing.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, your life is probably better for it.

I’ve set up The Sardonic Sideshow Tip Jar. The first person to ACTUALLY donate over $10 to this site and its humble author, gets a free t-shirt with an autographed headshot. Limited time offer.

Some cities around the country have decided to make March, Caffeine Awareness Month. (site)

I’m aware of caffeine. I aware that there are billions of sites on the world wide web and without caffeine very few of them (including this one) would ever be updated.

Okay, I set it up so you can actually vote in the Tina T-Shirt contest!

Click HERE.

Send a picture of yourself wearing my t-shirt and I will post it online.

Rules:

-Purchase necessary.

-Contest to be judge by anonymous mommy bloggers.

-Winner receives an autographed DVD of my act (so nothing of monetary value).

Tina reserves the right not to make out with any of those that enter. Contest not available in some areas. Void where prohibited. Contest ends when I say it does.

Ah, the bitter cold – ‘arctic freeze’ you say? More than 20 people already dead this year from weather (story)? That’s nothing. I’m a comic. I welcome self-abuse.

Dolly Parton on the set of Steel Magnolias said,”My whole life I wanted to be rich and famous and now that I am, you won’t hear me complain about it.” Well, my whole life I wanted to be a professional complainer – and now that I am…I’m probably going to complain about it.

Never spent the night in a sleazy motel without – well doing something sleazy? Never gone up in front of a bunch of strangers – half of them, the last chick they watched on stage was wearing a g-string? Never thought about the isolation of the road? Sound romantic? For those of you that have never been on a series of one nighters in the northwestern United States in February – but have always been a little curious – you are in luck. With my digital camera and the headliner’s laptop – The Sardonic Sideshow is going on the road.

So bookmark me, blogroll me, blogmark me or whatever is it you people do to get back here. Road adventures to come.

What does the number 2863 mean to you? To me it’s the amount of infected files found on my computer. Yep. Why haven’t I posted in a couple of days? That’s right. Two thousand, eight hundred and sixty three infected files. The ‘computer fixer dude’ said that was an all time record. More than twice the amount he’s ever seen. I must say, I am proud. It makes me seem hard core and punk rock – in the world of people that actually care about that type of thing.

Now I asked the ‘computer fixer guy’ to explain to me how this happened. I wanted the version that wouldn’t make me sound like a moron. Yes, I had anti-virus software. Yes, I ran scans and had it on auto protect. I did all that. I didn’t get VIRUSES – I got Trojans. Oddly enough, there was no version of the story that didn’t make me sound like a moron. I’m supposed to know better.

I’ve been had. I’ve been had by people whom reading books about programming doesn’t make them break down into tears. People that dream in binary code. Who are these people? Socially inept – maybe. Cunningly adept – uh yeah!

I’ve had a PC since I was 5 years old. It makes me think I know stuff about computers by pure exposure. Now I realize – I am so behind! I’ve always identified as a nerd. Wow, I fall so short. If I’m a nerd at all, I’m the wrong kind of nerd. I’m the kind that’s good for nothing but useless trivia and information that will help no one. I’ve spent years lost in books to no personal benefit (save a career as a professional smart-ass). I can’t even be angry that my hard drive crashed – because I feel so inadequate – and I’m so jealous of the people that wrote those Trojans!!!

The moral of the story is just because you know your way around Photo Shop and don’t hyperventilate when you see html doesn’t mean that someone isn’t out there that is doing loops around your savvy on a slow day.

It sucks to be average.

Unless your trying to see how many infected files you can get on one computer – if so – I’ve got you beat.

Los Angeles is drowning. I know I’ve mentioned weather a lot recently – but this is serious. TWO FEET of rain! In the last couple of days TWO FEET!! And as of this post it is still POURING!!

I pay too much RENT to be living in Seattle! Im too SHALLOW to cope with this much rain. I think God is punishing LA for voting for in Schwarzenegger. That combined with Will Smith’s career we might deserve some smiting. Damn, we need a dam
