Well... It's been an odd day, what with family health issues (he still isn't dead. It's very dissapointing, as is my spelling), grocery shopping (how big a turkey do you need for six people?) and programming.
Lots of programming.
Without getting much done at all. More programming than I would like to do on a sunny day.
I think I've begun to understand the zen of programming. It is all about communicating. I want the computer to do something, so I write a program to do it. If I don't tell the computer what I want it to do properly, it will do something else. If the computer doesn't understand me, it isn't the computer's fault. It's mine, baby. All mine.
I spent an hour working on three lines of code, only to realize that there was an extra comma in the second line.
So what have I learned this time? Coffee is your friend.
Not mine, that crazy little bitch coffee. Stupid beverage just despises me, and torments me. Damn coffee.

At the risk of starting a "I'm more pathetic than you are" ware of escalation, I once spent 8 hours trying to debug approximately 30 lines of code. Only to scrap it and rewrite it in 20 minutes and it running flawlessly the second time.
That was a hair pulling situation.
