>Ok… so I’m really tired. I kept having crazy nightmares last night. I’m not normally the type so it’s kind of strange. I was in a hot tub… inside a dimly lit glass enclosure. It was like being in an aquarium now that I think of it… it was really cold outside and the hot tub was really cooking, so there was fog everywhere. I kept feeling some really cold hands on me… pushing me down under the water. I kept trying to wake up, I’d be in my bed, try to sit up… but the hands/thing kept pushing me…
>What’s a Neutrino telescope? This must be the 10th story I’ve heard in the last year about someone’s kids bringing something not-so-legal in for show and tell. The definition of luck. It’s official: communism’s dead. A free popup blocker? Nike’s new ingenious concept. Why are we using Norweigian ammo? It’s the original robot dog! Consult the Starbucks Oracle and be amazed…
>Is it your CONFIG.SYS? I might be in the wrong listing it here… but I don’t have enough capital to start this out myself, so I’m possibly looking for partners for this venture: www.fullofyourself.com www.schmuck.com You know the saying “your picture’s in the dictionary next to ‘dumb’ “? How about your picture’s on the web under www.totalloser.com. Someone’s friend would sponsor the site as a joke/prank per the week, or month… and depending on the popularity, you could have secondary subscriptions for smaller listings, etc. There would be the standard disclaimer so people couldn’t claim “slander” and it would all…
>.: P r o d u c t -|- E v a l u a t i o n :. Probably a month before Xmas, I had ordered an “Inbetween Clean Machine” after seeing the commercial on TV. It professed to be an automatic flosser. I hate to floss, so I figured it would be a lot easier. It’s kinda cool, doesn’t actually fit between most of my teeth, I have to be very careful or else risk getting a mini-pipecleaner-type thing in my gums. It fit between 5-10 pairs of teeth, professes to improve with use… as flossing does,…
>I was watching Insomniac with Dave Attel on Comedy Central last night @ midnight, it was a special show… they rode along with “Crime Scene Cleaners, INC” in a pimped out F150. They clean up suicides, homicides, and accidental deaths all around CA during the night. It was a great show, they couldn’t show a lot of the scenes… and the few things they did show were rather tame but the best part was this story: “I was at the coroners office, they had just brought a guy in and everyone was giggling. I wanted to know what they were…
>We have an extra “privacy screen” tucked in one of the corners here at work… I decided I’d have a little fun with one of my co-workers and while she was intent on working, listening to her music… I set up the screen really quietly behind her. She didn’t notice, so I crept away (one of the advantages to slippers @ work). A minute or two goes by when she looks behind her, feeling a shadow of some sort behind her… and there’s this wall cutting her off from everyone else! HAHAHA! (well, everyone else thought it was funny) I…
>About a year and a half ago I had taken “Database Management Systems” with the same professor I have this time. I had to leave halfway through because: A) I had no money B) I had previously been out of work but was starting my new job here and hours conflicted C) I was so far behind in most of my classes I didn’t have much hope, I finished one class that semester – VisualBASIC He was so adamant about me not going to “the company across the street” he actually yelled to me as I was leaving, after angrily…
>”WRONG!” – Saturday Night Live, best of Dana Carvey – McLaughlin Group sketch. .:sigh:. …if I could only thwack someone with a large trout, let them know how much of an ass they are. .:TWACK:. I feel better… kinda. What does your name mean? Finally, an honest journalist. Psssst… want to book a trip to middle earth? Down & Out In the Magic Kingdom, maybe you’ve heard of it?
>I had my first classes today, even got up early to go to the bank. COBOL 1 – Not even used anymore, but just incase there’s a nuclear fallout and we’re forced to use computers remaining from the 1960s, I’ll be employed re-routing the nations power grid. Other then that I can’t see much use for it. It’s kind of like learning about the Revolutionary War — it got us where we are today, but it’s not like it’s entirely vital to survival. Accounting was just as I remembered it, last time I made it half-way through it, same professor……
>Dammit R.Kelly! Leave them kids alone! Do a search for “hatfields” to see how the longest known feud (there was even a Loony Toons cartoon) is going… Note to would-be rape-victims: Say you are a Christian, no matter what you may feel. The best thing these Maxim wannabes can come up with. Who didn’t try and do this in highschool art class?
>So I’m a bit better — the desire to be home and relaxing is so strong, but trying to get rid of my cold… drinking *ahem* won’t help that. I figure I’ll just drive the Probe tomorrow, it’s silly not to. No sense in getting pulled over and in deeper shit just because I didn’t want to put another 50 miles on the car. I sent an e-mail to the professors I have tomorrow, that whole “responsible” vibe I want to be dishin out. 😉 It’s not like anything interesting happens on the first day… they hand out the syllabus…
>OK — weird deja vu: My desk at this moment – empty bottle of powerade, half empty bottle of coke — mummy action figure – work sheets on my walls, light shining in over my shoulder, wrapped up food to be heated. Probe user manual, something about my car, and classes bearing down on me — with the same professor. The usual work stuff was on my screen, but the colors and position of windows is also included in this. I remember waking up to a horrid dream of being all stressed out probably about a year and a half…
>So stressed… many… things… need… to be done… no… time… *aurlgmm* Ok – car’s sold, good. Classes are starting, good. Work is frantic, not good. Must wake up early tomorrow, not good. Must drive far in an unregistered/uninspected car, not good. Need to miss the first days of classes, not good. Need to get a bank check and not deposit it until I get out of work via ATM, not good. Running really thin on many fronts, not good. How can so much not good come from good? Why does the buyer have to be in such a god-damned hurry?…
>I found the Probe’s purchaser’s restaurant and confirmed that it does indeed exist. Not my kind of subject matter but I like the style. Wow… believe it or not they found something! There was an interesting story about CA penguins @ SanFran Zoo learning from 4 new past-performance penguins… but of course Yahoo sucks! …so I can’t link to it.
>{ below links edited 01/24/03 b/c they were screwing up the layout } Wow… a [http://news.yahoo.com] giant lavalamp, groovy. Save the [http://news.yahoo.com] bananas! No one believes me… well, read this! Forgive the URLS but Yahoo puts slashes in their URLS just to screw me up. If I put a link — Blogger wigs out (see about 2 weeks ago when I was having issues). I needed the banana story to back up my claims. Is Fred Durst spearing Britney? Sweet lookin’ new PC FPS – Devestation. Looking for a place to buy blank DVD-R/RW media in bulk?
>Some people just weren’t meant to be teachers. Stolen Beatles tapes recovered. Sony reveals a little more about the PS2 and cell processing. I wouldn’t pay for it… but it’s interesting that they think someone actually would pay money to see this… Like to eat? Work for Google. Some games to pass the time. Handy information regarding Geostationary satellites.
>I went on Monday to look at the new Mazdaspeed Protege – mazdausa.com/mazdaspeed_protege Take a look at the Quicktime360 movies, hi-res – both interior and exterior. The one they got in stock was orange, which I’m hopefully not getting. It’s just a little too… uh, bright? It was really nice and all – sparkly finish, just not for me, though. The interior was gorgeous, and although it’s an entry-level everything is ready and rarin to go with racing parts, low profile tires, a lowered frame, and a stock Kenwood 400wattt 7 speaker system that sounds unbelievable. I was sold… as…
>The party was fun, played some beer pong… then got really irresponsible and we took turns pulling eachother on the snowtube with the 4 wheeler. It was my first time actually getting on one and being able to drive it. I guess I got the whole shifting… gear thing worked out in my head 😉 It was nice just being with friends and having fun. I took a few hours of personal time to be in @ 3pm so that I could eat some lunch with Justin and crew. We went out to Friendlys — I had one of their…
