Tawnya and Rice are fucking awesome.
Lankakitten and I met them for lunch at Beth's Cafe. Then all of a sudden about 3PM, I started getting that "something's going wrong on my servers" feeling. I shoved the anxiety down, but it kept nagging me.
We got home about 4PM and wouldn't you know it, everything was fucking melting down in real-time. The phone kept ringing....

I hate that one little typo in a huge eighty-page survey could cost me (personally) thousands of dollars. I don't have the personality type that can handle this kind of responsibility, so at events if I look like a zombie it's because I'm worried about a survey putting the ruin on me.
But hey, it's not that...

I'd create a babelfish site for blind people that would speak other sites. you say the name of a site, and it goes there and starts speaking it.
That shit would make loads of money.

Dear Safeway Ethics Hotline (business.ethics@safeway.com),
While shopping at your store recently, I discovered a puzzling phenomenon:
6-packs of 8oz cans of Coca Cola cost $2.50 for 48 ounces
2-litre bottles of Coca Cola cost $1.25 for 67 ounces.
While one could argue that aluminum cans cost more to manufacture, I prefer to believe that by making it economically infeasible for your customers to buy the...

That's an excellent point about the sexing. There will probably be a baby boom in nine months.

Put a new server together last night. The hard part about setting up a server is that it's always a) an emergency, and b) four in the fucking morning.

New Years Resolutions:
So often I get something nice like a new apartment or a computer chair or something and I don't take care of it. I'm not saying that I'm filthy, but I really only put effort into cleaning things when it gets sort of bad and offends my sensibilities. It would be nice to put the effort into regular maintenance for my stuff....

Well, I don't really like making new years resolutions, but if I did, it would probably be to get in better shape so I don't die during the 26 mile marathon that I'm supposed to run in June.

LankaKitten paints me in a bad light. I was just saying that if one were stuck in the middle of a severe disaster, having access to a gun could be important for holding out until help arrives. (Yes, I said "holding out".)

I'd love to deliver them tomorrow, if you're still in the area.

Most of you this Christmas will receive gift cards from well-meaning relatives and co-workers. They're pretty cool: you can buy what you want. But, you can make them even cooler by visiting this website before you go cash them in:

I have a PS2, and hockey is the best video sport, yet my newest hockey game is from PS1. What is wrong with me?

Can someone clue me in as to why people fear illegal immigrants so much?
In the news section right now there's a story that Congress approved a bill requiring that 650 miles of fence be errected on the Mexican border.
At least it isn't land mines, right?

trevallion:
I don't necessarily fear them, but I believe what they do is extremely dishonest. They move over here illegally so they won't have to pay any taxes, and then they send their tax-free money back to Mexico where it's worth a hell of a lot more. Plus it's not that hard to actually go through the act of getting a citizenship.
strongmad:
Yeah, I'm thinking the "like to play with your ass" stuff should probably wait until at least college.
I don't "fear" them, but like Trevallion I resent the deleterious effect they have on our country. One of the things that holds the world together is the respect for the sovereignty of nations. These people disrespect and disregard that. There are mechanisms in place to come into out country if you want to. Follow those, or don't ask for anything from us once you get here.
"Illegal" immigrants. They are outside the laws we have made together as a society.

So, that movie theatre, Big Picture? The bad news is that one screen thing makes it tough to check out. Right now it's playing 'Pride and Prdjudice' which I could not possibly be less interested in seeing. I'll keep an eye out for their next movie, and when they land on a good one we'll hit that shit up.
