Sweet Baby Jeebus slathered in chocolate! I can't sleep. The clown will eat me.

So, it looks like I'll have my choice of 4 different job offers. Trouble is though . . . not one of them is clearly better than the others.

Most of them would require moving, which I expected.

#1 Requires moving to Silicon Valley. LOTS of stock options, could very well get rich there if things go well. But the salary wouldn't really cover my...

Whew! Looks like this week I'm bouncing around like a rubber ball owned by a 5 year old that just ate a pound of sugar.

Total number of nights actually at home this week? One. I'm becoming quite the expert on airports though.

So . . . California was different. Never been there before. I think if I did live there I'd need to seriously consider upgrading that auto insurance. Some of the cars I saw there . . . my insurance would be able to just about cover a door ding.

D'oh! It's almost midnight! I'm waking up at 5am for my flight to Silicon Valley for a job interview. I hope I can nap on the plane or something.

Then I've got another job interview right after I arrive back home. So . . . I guess no blogging for me until Friday.

Don't burn the house down while I'm gone. Or . . ....

They announced the name of the next Indiana Jones movie, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". I love the Indiana Jones movies, and I'm sure I'll see the latest one as soon as it comes out. But Harrison Ford is now something like 65, that's getting a little old to be playing Indiana Jones, I would think.

Hrm, well I seem to be on SG more now that I've been laid off . . . Suddenly not working 10-12 hour days can do that.

My cup is 1/2 full?

What would you consider the hardest part of surviving the Inevitable Zombie Apocalypse?

1. Procuring food and water.
2. Finding defensible shelter.
3. Getting a cricket bat before supplies run out.
4. Teaching all those zombies to dance, like in Thriller.
5. Figuring out how to pull your shirt over the chainsaw you replaced your hand with.

I'm really bored. And yet, I can't pull myself away from the computer.

This must be what watching TV is like.

Now that we've got a martian lander going out the martian North Pole we'll finally be able to tell if there's a Martian Santa.

Today I was visited by an extra-terrestrial. I was stunned. A transcript of the conversation follows:

Me: Jumpin' Jehosophat! What are you?
ET: Do not be alarmed, native Earth life form. We come from the planet B'Nix!Blat, circling the star Alpha Centari. We have recently discovered primitive radio transmissions emanating from this planet, and have come to usher in a new age of plenty and...

Have you heard of the term "volunteer vegetable"? Usually it's specific. Such as "Volunteer tomato" or "Volunteer Squash" or whatever. It means an item that you didn't plant this season, but which is growing nonetheless. I assume this is usually because you had planted that critter in the previous season or whatever it is you do with such things.

I want to help with this...
