On the way into work this mornnig I was behind the rarest of things, a black minivan. You don’t see many in that color, most come in the suburbanite hunter green variety. Another rarity on this vehicle was the flambouyant gold package. I don’t know why I was so intrested in this thing, I think it’s the fact that minivans are mostly being replaced by the SUV and I really have fond menories of the ol’ road slugs. Another good thing about this morning… Banannas and Cream oatmeal. I had been avoiding the yellow packet in the variety package in my desk for a few days now. But I thought I might as well get it out of the way so I could go back to enjoying strawberry and blueberry goodness. But this is good, cleaning the bowl good, and thinking about seconds good. Well first hour of the day down, I think it’s time I do some work.
Movie Mistakes and Internet Things
Entertainment, MoviesAfter watching Waterworld last night and playing a drinking game pointing out the plotholes in the movie. I stumbled across this list of mistakes in movies made this year. Some of these are major movies, you’d think they would have someone watching out for these. But anyway here it is mistakes I also found a list of things that the world has learned this year that I thought was kind of interesting Things we’ve learned
Nothing really new to report
Projects, websitesI need to keep up the blogging. For my own sake, because who would actually read this.
Working Early
Life, RandomnessIt’s one thing to be up before the sun rises. Farmers and some commuters do it every day. But maybe it’s just me but I think it is entirely unneccisary to be up , going to work, when the moon is still high in the sky. I had to commute with Cote this morning because my car is still trapped in Stafford. I left the house at 6am this morning, which dosen’t seem that early theoretically. Maybe it was the fact that it was FREEZING outside and I had to walk a few blocks from the Metro to the office. Maybe it was that I didn’t wear my heavy coat or gloves. Any way I look at it,it really really sucked. So now it’s 7:18am a time when I would normally be just starting to hit my alarm clock for the first time as I wake up, but I have been at work for almost an hour. Well at least there is still no actual work to do here, that’s coming next week.
I am so glad to be out of High School…6 years later.
Life, RantsWhile I was cruising around the intarweb I found a log of incidents of kids getting suspended for violations of the “zero tolerance policies” I can’t begin to explain here the asshattery that is going on in schools today. Zero tolerance movement grew out of the reaction to the Columbine shootings in 1999 (i think) Having been in school on that day I can relate to the paranoia about strange kids in overcoats. But I believe that it has gotten out of hand. I remember when Mr. Johnson came to North Stafford in my senior year, he instated all kinda of new rules and enforced other ones. I remember thinking it was pretty horrible. But things have gotten ridiculous. I think that if you squeeze these kids too tight then some of them are going to pop. Teenagers need room to express themselves. Don’t get me wrong there are limits. But Zero Tolerence is not the answer, the policies need a little common sense built into them. I don’t really know why I went on this rant, but I am just so thankfull that I dont have to go back to PC Nazi high school ever again and don’t have kids in school yet! Our Horrible Children
Usually I don’t go to those kind of websites…it’s just shocking
Life, RandomnessBut this is one of the funniest articles I have ever read. I’ll read it again just to make sure…yup still funny. I know it’s not from a reputable news organization, but if you make believe it makes it twice as funny. And the pictures, lets not forget about the pictures. My favorite part has to be the descriptions of the gesture. Well enough talking about it READ IT
