My wife is sick. This SUCKS!!

My daughters are, I think, pretty much over the sickness. That's good news, although the fact that they got sick at all bothered me. Especially since I was the one who (most likely) got them sick. Not that I have been sick. My coworkers all have been coming down with stuff and/or coming in with stuff ([rolleyes]) for the past two or three weeks. Thus far, I'm the only one who hasn't caught this particular nasty virus. It's kinda freaky, actually. I mean, I'm glad I'm not getting sick, but dude. If I am the epitome of health, we're doomed.

In other news, tonight we'll watch Alias and tomorrow Steph will watch Children of Dune (I don't know either.)

Man, I still haven't written my GAP interview. Gah. Laziness.

Wacko Jacko

Oh, man. Offensive, and FUNNY!!

A few unconnected (mostly) thoughts. Most people call these "random". [doh2]

• I learned how to make bullet points using html. God bless the internet.
  
  
• If I were ultra-rich (like Billionaire Rich) I would save the world in the following manner: I would create a gigantic hoax about an upcoming alien invasion.(Perhaps NASA [or SETI] could recieve a "message" from space that would say that this alien army was approaching, and would be here in X number of days/months/whatever.) That way, humanity would be united in a single cause. No more stupid bickering about war or territory or politics or whathaveyou. For a while, at least.
  
  
• Mmmm. Jelly donuts.
  
  
• I'm starting to fear that thorsdad's leaving the board was not, in fact, an early April Fool's joke. This sucks mightily.
  
  
• Haloscan, you fuckers. Once you're up again, I'll be doing a "compilation" post, and then, if it's still cool with Heath, I'll be swapping comment features.
  
  
• Chainsaw is great.
  
  
• bettie- How about this for a blog name: Are you bettie? No, i-r
  Yeah, I figured that was a "just me" type of thing. [doh2]

Random thought time. It'll be like 3 or 4 blog entries, combined into one. Yay for effectiveness! Or at least pretending to be!!

[-] My girls are great.
We played "Duck, duck, goose" today, and they're just adorable.
At one point, Saren picked Harper as the Goose, and they ran around each other rather than the circle. Steph and I collapsed in laughter.
We also played "Pin the tail on the Donkey". I pinned my tail nowhere near the animal! Hooray!

Another game we played was "drop the clothes pins into a jar while standing on a chair" (it might have a shorter name somewhere, but [shrug]). This was fun, and resulted in several broken clothes pins!

"Mother (or Daddy, Saren or Harper, as the case may be) May I?" was another game we played. Being able to say "No" to me when I asked "[girl's name] may I?" was entirely funny to them.

We played Twister for a bit today too. I'm old. I don't bend well anymore.

Earlier Saren & I played Buffy, and I was evil. I totally killed all of the annoying Scoobies! Hooray!! I mean, "Mwahahahaha!!"

Later we're going to play Clue with Saren. I suspect it will be Col. Mustard. (It's always Col. Mustard [eyebrow])

[-] Home Depot
I've been devirginized to Home Depot. That place is awesome! And I mean it literally. It truly does inspire awe. It's gigantic and machiney and home improvementesque and just WHOA!!!
If you've ever been there before, you know what I mean. If you haven't, check it out some time.
Anywhat, we went there to get a replacement hose for the washing machine. We did get one, but I haven't put it on yet, because I can't remove the old one. Yay for wimpiness!!

[-] Board stuff
There are some people there who are amusing in that sad kind of way. Yay for lack of lifeness!!
I was going to say something mean-spirited and cruel (and true!!) about some other people, but I'm chicken shit. [wink]

[-] Road work
I swear to chicken that I don't understand how certain morons manage to stay on the road. Here are my ideas for how to improve the conditions of the roadways of America:

{-} Sue the DMV ~ Everytime there's an accident, let's make the DMV responsible. Eventually, getting a driver's license would be a much more difficult thing to accomplish. Thereby reducing the number of people on the road. And making sure the one's who are still driving are the "best of the best". [up]

{-} Raise the gas prices ~ Gas should be 5 dollars a gallon. That way, unnecessary driving would be eliminated. We're well on our way to doing this already. And yes, I'll bitch about it the whole way there. I'm American, after all.

{-} Bikes ~ More people should ride bicycles than drive automobiles. Period.

{-} Choset ~ This would be great. Except for the whole "destruction of reality" and billions of people dying parts, I guess.

So, this site is a bit of an inspiration, since the guy gets like, 100 comments on his blog entries. It would be kinda cool to be that popular. But at the same time, it might be a bit overwhelming. I'm easily overwhelmed.

I'm also quite exhausted. 11 hours at work, and ...let's just say, that with the vacation I've got coming up (originally planned to go to California, cancelled due to lack of $$) I'll be job hunting.

Anyone know of anyplace that I could work at? Keep in mind that I am intensely lazy, lack anything even remotely known as a skill, and am most definitely NOT a "people person". Yeah. I should get really far. [rolleyes]

In semi-related news, Tiffany, from the traffic department got fired today. That was a shock and a half (probably a much larger one for her). However, I'm seriously considering applying for her position. If I work up the courage, I'll place a call into Maggy (the traffic supervisor) tomorrow.

I'm too tired to even go to the forums today. [frown] I suck.

Which 'Friend' Are You?Find out!


Speaking of, I totally miss her. She should comment on my blog, just so I know she's still around. [up]

Because I've got nothing interesting to blog about today (or ever, really, but today in particular), I will instead provide some links to other places that will amuse you. Hopefully.

Slap the French!!
(Chainsaw should like that one.)


To alcohol: The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Enjoy!

My wife is awesome.








That is all.

"If you think about it, a dog's teeth are like his hands."







So don't stop thinking about it!

WOOO! I "earned" ten dollars today.

There's a coworker here who from time to time asks me to type up business letters for him (he's an older guy, and his typing skills are, in his words, "horrendous"). Since I'm able to type 80+ words a minute, I go to his computer, and ten to fifteen minutes later, his letter is done. For my "trouble", he pays me. The first time he did it, I wanted to refuse the cash, but he insisted. This time, I needed the money. So yay for godsends!!

Also, yay for spending hours playing Zork paying off.

The triumphant return of UTP@!!

I suppose that hsould have been bold instead of italics, but ..what's the word? meh. Yes, that's it.

Yup, our favorite anti-hero, UTP@, has returned. (First time this year, if memory serves. ANd I think it doesn't. [wnk])

You'll notice that UTP@ makes typos quite a bit. That's because I'm too tired to correct them as I make htme. (For the most post. Um. Most part.)
Also, ra...UTP@ tends to have less of a blocker between things he thinks and theings he types. Yay for lowered inhibitions! Yay for achieving it without the use of alchol. Not that ther'es anything wrogn with alcohol. Or with being tired. As ...Jess said (somewhere) "Sleep is overrated."

Interesting (not really) things I noticed in the world of internet today:
Geswho said that I'm not posting enough! Dude! SOmeone notices/d my posts. And lack thereof. I'm touched. I would say to geswho that ...um...I will be posting more ...eventually. OR I would jsut say, Dude. Read my blog. I talk there. [tongueyes]

Also, in the review thread for Salvage some people were discussing what 5 by 5 meant. If I were unspoiled and read that, I'd have to be pretty brain dead to not realize that a certain character was back. Idiots.
I know that me and chainsaw and bettie are all the same person (long story) but I just whanted to say that Soupy is fucking funny.

We watched the movie Spiders on SciFi tonight. Holy crap, that movie was AWESOME! It's a flick that is totally all not even real. Or something. POint in case: Nerdy heroine woman has glasses at the start of the movie, about 20 minutes in, she loses the glasses, and they even show "fuzzy cam" from her point of view.
Throughout the rest of the movie, she can see just fine.

Also, boobs.

What was cool? OH! SPringer, as in Jerry. THat show...dude. It's something I chousldn't wathc, but MAN! It's just too ...something. Ya know? If ou've ever seen it before, then you know exactly what I mean. ALthough to make it better, what they shoudl do is, whenever people fight, instead of editing the hits out, or cutting to audience reaction, they should throw in computer graphics ala the '60's Batman series.
BAM!
POW!
WHITE TRASH!!
It would be the greatest thing ever!

Wha't the only pyramid named in the BIble? I'll tell you. It's the Tower of Babel. That' is almost a rhyme. Of some sort.
God, UTP@ Talks a LOT.
Oreo talks a lot too. Talkatige cat.
Hey! Jupe and Beth are online. Will they IN me? They've not yet. BGut maybe I'll just keep on talking enstead they do.

Wow. I'm so tired.
Oh yeah. The other weird thing. IT was weird to read the review thread and NOT see thorsdad's review. [frown] His was one of hte people's I'd seek out to see what they had to say.

Heee. This show is hilarious. It's saying how God was not impressed about the Tower of Babel. And how cigarettes are unique among the ...something. I odn't know. Steph watches weird stuff.

"I'm totally groovin"

Blah. I think I've talked enough. Maybe I'll talk now to Jupe and or MeJupe. (heee. MeJupe!!!)

Invented poverty?!

Also, I hope we survive this war thing. Stupid war. [grrrr]

That's all. Sleep now.

I have issues with...

society discipline nature religion age

Take Word Association Test

take free enneagram test

Hmm. They've got a feature there that allows you to find others who "match" your personality type. I doubt that this is 100% accurate, but, what the heck. Should be interesting to see if I'm anything like my friends or not. [wink]

You know when you go back in time, and then you interfere, and fuck up the future, and then you realize, "Oh shit, I just fucked up the future!", so then you go back in time to stop yourself from fucking the future up, and then you create a paradox?



I hate when that happens.

I think Giles should appear on tonight's episode of Angel, since it's ASH Wednesday.

(Yup. I'm feeling better.)

sigh

This post brought to you by hunger. And insomnia. Two great tastes that taste great together.

Roar!

In two days, it'll be 03/03/03. Which means in 3 years and 3 months and 3 days, the world will end. (Except it really won't.) What it really means is that I have 3 years, 3 months, and 3 days to write the fucking story that has been in my mind now for ...4 years? Nope. 5. Wow. I am a monument to procrastination and laziness.

I'm an idle idol.

God, I should write.
