OH it feels so good to be back. I think I’ll write a little about it later. My flight was cancelled yesterday so I had to get up at 430 and fly out this morning. Not really what I wanted to do. That commute from Tallahassee to Arlington is a bitch! I think I’ll try to work a half day today and then go home and get some sleep. We’ll see how that works… I’m already feeling tired.

So it’s monday, I leave for Tallahassee Florida on Wednesday night. So I’m getting all excited about leaving for Fla. The weather here isn’t helping any right now either. Luckily for the weekend the weather was good. I went to Ben and Bonnie’s graduation party and had a lot of fun playing vollyball and Beriut (Beerpong). Which BTW Ben and I crush at.
The bad part about today is that I think I may be coming down with something. My throught was hurting and I was all stuffy, so I thought I would kick in some meds and clear this up. So a couple shots in the nose from the Zicam bottle and wham… much much worse. I think the Zicam strategy is to condense the cold into a small amount of time. There is no cure, only treatment.
I’m starting to feel better now, so that’s good. And would you look at that.. it’s time to go home! Later.

I just thought of something that annoyed me… and I thought I’d share it with you. So home electronics have always been complicated and most people don’t understand them anyway, but with all this new High Definition (HD) stuff happening right now things are getting downright ridiculous. It’s not really the tv sets that I have a problem with, although you do have to wade through HD-ready and EDTV confusion. Its all the other little hangers on that want to get a piece of the HD pie.
Does your product even display video?
Then you have no right to use the phrase ‘HD’! I saw a commercial for Windex that claimed that your windows would not just be clean, but HIGH DEFINITION clean. That makes no fucking sense!! Your eyes see in MUCH MUCH more definition than HD, what they’re claiming is that you’re windows will now be blurrier. And also they think you are a moron.
Along the same lines I saw a Kodak disposable camera that took HD pictures… Again STUPID, this was not a digital camera, it was a FILM camera. Even if it was digital, a shitty 1 megapixel camera has almost the resolution of HD video.
I have a lesser beef with FOX sports. When I started watching FOX Sunday football I found one thing disturbing,besides a sweaty polo-shirted Tony Sarragusa on the sidelines. During almost every commercial break they would put up some fancy animation and the announcer would say ” FOX Sports, broadcasting in 720p and Dolby Digital 5.1 the worlds best High Definition standards”. They possibly said standard just to make this statement true, as 5.1 is the highest audio you can get. Cause 1080i is the highest or possibly 1080p if that exists. But I feel lied to every time I hear Joe Buck say that. Go back to baseball and stop complaining about Randy Moss mooning the crowd…
Seacrest OUT! via HDTV
When i have a mad dash on posts to try and keep the average up. I went to see star wars last night maybe i’ll pos ton that later.
No commentsI see these paper ass-gaskets in every public bathroom that I go into, but where did that idea come from? I didn’t pay them any attention because of my policy of not being hygenic. So anyway these things are made of paper right, which isn’t know for its germ blocking ability. The only reason that I thought I would ever use them is if the seat was covered in piss, but at that point the paper would just absorb the liquid and create an urine-paper-machet art project on my ass. What are people afraid of anyway? It’s not like I’m going to touch my asscheeks and then lick my hands. The cheek is not the part of your ass you touch when dropping a deuce. Do people that use the seat protector not wipe their ass either, that’s much grosser than a public toilet seat. Besides when you flush the toilet it sprays fecal material like 20 feet. Nothing in the bathroom is safe, muahhh amhhahah. So just wash your hands… but don’t use antibacterial soap, that just makes Supergerms… Muahahaha mhahahaha

I love that new Molson beer commercial. Especially the first part
Your Molson mine broham.
Big ups to thee my friend
So anyway I’ve had a few milestones this week. My new car hit 3000 miles yesterday when I was coming back from work. Also I had my first nosehair escape from the friendly confines of right nostril. I’m going to write this entry about one of these events… can you guess which one it is?
So I’m doing the normal picking in there. Not getting knuckle deep or anything, just the normal matinience. When I got snagged like a dolphin in a tuna net. But this was no ordinary booger, I felt around the rim and found little feelers sticking out. Needless to say I grabbed them bitches and yanked. Oh.. dear.. god.. Have you ever heard actors say that when they need to cry onstage they pull a nosehair? Well that is a correct statement sir. I could have won a Oscar with that preformance. But I guess this is another sign of impending death.
No commentsBecause my love of special limited edition candy is greater than my love of 89 cents I picked up another gem today. This time the candy of the moment is the Reese’s BIG CUP. It’s just that, a giant peanut butter cup. The bigger size feels good in my hand, like a roll of pennies or a small dog. I sat here and ogled it for a little bit, bathing in it’s majesty. I even took a pic with my phone so I could tell my grandkids about this moment. I peeled back the wrapper and took my first delicious bite. Oh dear lord that’s a lot of peanut buttery goodness.
Sidebar, your honor.
Anybody else remember those commercials about the different ways people eat Reese’s? Some would nibble around the outside, blow out the middle and eat the ring last, or eat it in one bite. Well after devouring this confectionary delight I would have to say that my style is, getting done with it and still having all my fingers is job number 1. Once the taste gets in my mouth I just have to have more, and the feeding frenzy ensues.
So now I’m sitting here with this lump of candy in me, thinking if it was a good idea to eat it. Besides 12g of fat and 210 calories I would say that it was worth it.

pictures work perfectly fine in Firefox, but noooo IE has to poop in my microwave. If you’re using IE then the pictures are hidden behind the white background for some reason, I know this and I am working on it. Stupid Microsoft…
