So, it turns out that my grandmother is in the hospital right now.
Something about a diabetes related infection caused her to have a small heart attack.

With the way work is right now, I can't even get away to run up there (Kansas City area) to check on her.

It also brings up the question of what the wife and I should do if...

Went and saw "How to Train Your Dragon" at the IMAX in 3D today.
Great movie, but there was a husband / wife with a little kid right behind me, and that little fucker would NOT SHUT UP through the WHOLE FUCKING MOVIE!

This is kind of a boring weekend... and the really shitty part is that I'm working like CRAZY hours next weekend.

I normally work 6am to 230pm, but Friday I'm supposed to work 11am to midnight, and then go back in Saturday morning at 5am, and work until god knows when.

I guess it'll be a part 1, and then we'll finish out the original set idea as a part 2 later.

So...
Thursday night Staples got a hold of Velcro, and we had to take Velcro to the 24 hour Vet ER.

He was ok. Just tore out one of his nails on the back foot at the cuticle. Worried the shit out of us though because Staples how some CRAZY jaw strength. I've seen him break a tennis ball in half in about 20 minutes......

Sorry y'all... no tasty dinner tonight. It's leftover night.
That... and I bought Final Fantasy XIII yesterday, and have been playing the SHIT out of it. It's pissing the wife off something horrible, I can guarantee you that.

So... since there is no dinner, how about I give y'all some math instead... Hooray for math!... LOL!!!

As many of you may or may not know,...

I wanted to thank everybody out there that drives economy cars. And by economy cars, I'm talking about the ones that get like... 25mpg or better (is 25 good?).

I wanted to thank you all for 2 reasons;

1) Because you are driving a high mpg car, you are keeping the gas prices down. And we all know that gas is still stupid expensive, especially...
