Reading Freakonomics (the book) today, I discovered that Michael has been ruined as a first name.
I know, what's wrong with Michael? It's a good name.
In the '70s and '80s, naming your kid Michael meant that you were (statistically) of good background and high education. That's why it seems like a good name. We're all full of unconscious prejudices, but I don't mind benefiting...

I hate all thing wheat tortilla. Lately I have been on a bratwurst kick. Here is a picture of me at Matt's hot dogs 10 minutes before our vegan dinner last night.

I've actually never had one, so I can't give an opinion.

HA, spectacular...
Normally Internet videos are lame, fucking lame, and ridiculously lame. Ever see that video where the guy put mentos in a 2-litre bottle of soda and it shot coke a few feet in the air?

Crikey, our schedule is all fucked up and we may not make it to prom. I've got a project due that Tuesday and there'll be changes dragging out through that Friday.

I think he got more attractive the older he got, really grew into his creepiness.
That movie was just not very liniar. and it's weird that they were like zombies, but they were vampires.......but they could talk and think but not open doors.

A big cloud of smoke just went by my office window. I should go check it out. It's novelty, but I'm way too lazy to go outside and find out if the building is on fire.

Freckle had a really great wedding, maybe the best I've ever attended.
They got me drunk and fed me a good meal, even had a carrot cake wedding cake. Rock-fucking-on. A good day was had by all.

hehe, thanks. I wish I didn't, but there's no way I could ride the 99 to lynwood, for example. I was going to interview last saturday, and it was completely rainy and windy, and I turned around soaked at aurora and 40th. I probably would have killed myself if I'd continued.
Something new will show up. I've got two good leads and a part time job that is baking related as a possibility right now.

Mike and I met a real estate agent yesterday.
We are going to buy either a house or a townhouse before the year is over.
He says we can have 4 kitties.
Hurrah!
I'd like to followup on this.
We talked to a real-estate lady yesterday. She was really positive and tried hard to get us excited about the prospect...

Hey, don't knock the double-wide. Have you seen some of those lately? Serious, you should go to the fair this year and check 'em out.

Me, too. Sadly, I'm at wrk for another ten and a half hours. I'm holed up in the spare room since he's got a girl over. Ick.
I'm on a diet. I made it up. I call it the gourmet food diet.
Instead of eating pasty, gross things in large quantities. I eat fancy yummy things in small quantities.
I'm so hungry.

I want to start a company that rents scaffolding so I could call it Erections.

Your tag line could be, "We help you get it up!"

When I was in the shipyard in the Navy all of the scaffolds had little pictures of a stick man falling off the scaffold with a big slash mark through it, but the way the stick man was oriented it looked like it was a "no ninja-kicking the scaffolds" sign.
I can't think of anything nice to say about Canada so I'll just say that they did have moderately yummy sushi. Everything else gets a thumbs down.
ricerx:
It's just full of those goddamned snowbacks! Fuck Canadia!
hopey:
There were two hookers, the other was my friend, the dude i brought to Thailand is taking the picture. I did save some for others...........there are plenty.
Oh, and Canada sushi kicks SERIOUS ass.
