I stayed up too late last night playing Gold Miner (high score: 28,080). Even once I went to bed, though, I didn’t really fall asleep until 5:00 or 6:00… whatever sunrise was. Then I woke up at 8:00, right on cue, feeling only a little bit tired. What the hell? I mean, my body doesn’t like getting [...]

Uh oh… those of you with work to do might want to leave now. I found a new flash game. You move the spinning black box around with your mouse… picking up the other black boxes gives you points. Touching a red box kills you. Black Circles are power-ups… good things. Red Circles are bad things. Your [...]

The Circle K Member Community is all abuzz with political discussion about Bush and Kerry. Of course, it’s BAD political discussion. Just about the only thing being presented in there is “I like Kerry because he’s a good guy! I know he’s better!” or “Bush is the man! Viva Bush!” Regardless of who is or [...]

I got a comment this morning on this post notifying me that one of my favorite websites The Best Website in the Universe (no, really… that’s the title), which is run by the infamous Maddox, is being petitioned against. Now… if you take a look at the URL of that link, what do you see? You [...]

First off, in case any of you missed it, it’s now the weekend. That rocks. Secondly… today is still the last day of my mini-cold. Just like yesterday was. and the day before. Stupid mini-cold. Third, big ups to Jean who sent me this, which is the funniest thing I’ve read all week. That’s right, I’ll admit it. [...]

No delirious, cold-medicine inspired post tonight. Sorry. I’m actually just about over this… this… whatever it was that started with me losing my voice and then progressed into a bit of congestion… I’m almost over it. I’ve been saying for days that “today should be the last day…” but I really mean it this time. [...]

So I went back to read my last post. If I didn’t know that I was distracted when I wrote it (by food, sorry) I’d definitely have guessed that I was half retarded, heavily drugged, or both. Or maybe I’d guess that I was distracted, but I’m a little too judgmental for that, I think. So I’ve [...]

So the Dan Rather story grew legs like a millipede on growth hormones… quickly and in large quantity. What’s been entertaining is the memos were so obviously fake from day one, as any reasonable person should’ve seen, that we got to see how some folks reacted. It was amusing to see the leftist bloggers fall into [...]

I swung by McDonald’s on the way to work this morning to grab a sausage egg and cheese biscuit, when they gave me my total I decided to give them some pennies so that my change would be even quarters. This is mainly because I wanted to avoid getting any more nickels than I already [...]

I’m happy to report, after a trip to campus, that it’s still there. In other news, Bryant-Denny is well-lit, and ready for football on Saturday. There’s an occasional limb down, a few blocks without power, but, by and large, the campus is powered and the roads are obstruction free… but it’s a little wet. Those of you [...]
