Nice day -- we went to Sears today and purchased a treadmill for my wife. It'll be shipped next week, and we'll reorganize our bedroom to fit it. It's a nice one, and was on a good sale. Now we just need to pop for all the extras....Oh, probably not for a while, at least.
Then, we went to the company picnic. Our management paid for a day at the Lake Lanier Water Park, which has the requisite wave pool, slides, weird places, and fun things for the munchkin. The baby enjoyed being in the water, and I got to push around a pram loaded with just about everything in a tri-state area. Uphill. Three times. But, as the wife says, I got exercise!
Dinner was nice (barbeque sandwich, chips, and icecream), and we're home now. All in all a good day.
So, how was yours?

Go to sleep. It's late. Tired. Wife is reading Discover magazine at me. Some fish has a parasite for a tongue. She showed me the picture. Now how am I supposed to get to sleep? ick

YEAH! MY STUPID UPDATE IS DONE! I CAN GO HOME!
I hate Win98 at times.....

I made it to the top, again. I've really got to shut up occasionally.
12:46 PM - <da Link>
We may be buying a treadmill shortly -- we need something to use for exercise that involves airconditioning. I thought about bikes, but that just doesn't work for Elfgirl so we're going to go looking at expensive ways to get nowhere. I thought about attaching a generator to the thing and making her power the washer, but I like clean clothes. Oh, am I gonna catch hell for that.

Because people won't talk to the cops, the cops are bugging the neighborhood. Even though it is a specialized form of Crime Tech That Spots Gunshots by watching for sound spikes, it sets a weird precident.

The day continues along. I got a check from my old company, whom I left over a year ago. Dunno why. Not a lot of money, but strange to see in the mail. Can't raise anyone on the phone to get an answer about it, either. SO, do I take myself out to dinner? Seems a good idea, since it's just enough for one really good steak, or two kinda mediocre ones (but I get to take my wife, and she's pretty good company these days).

Grand theft gold -- wild. Read how a Gang Storms Airport, Takes $500,000 in Gold. It as called a "well-planned" heist. I'm guessing they were wearing back-belts, since this stuff isn't that light, even if it was only 60 kilos. So....no visiting Brasil for me, I guess. Not that I commonly travel with 60 kilos of gold, but it doesn't sound the best place to be right now. Maybe I should check into that cow-tipping deal again....

Why is it that the JFK Jr report basically says that JFKJr shouldn't have been out, but studiously avoids calling it pilot error? THe guy screwed up, then screwed his plane into the ground and took out two innocent people who trusted him to be sensible. Why not call it what it is? Is this another case of the Kennedy reverence?

Interesting. This blog [/dan.el.ope/] calls the Klingon Language Institute losers. One has to wonder about that. I have talked with people that have attended conferences and conventions world wide who found that the only language they held in common was Klingon. It is a living language, with a stronger and more dynamic following than Esperanto. And, it works well for those that use it. The fact that is was created from a television show, instead of by dusty professors, shouldn't invalidate it. And, in fact, such a source gives it stronger stability, and probably a longer life.
Instead, lets wonder at why someone would call such an endeavour by deragatory terms.
No, let's not. There is enough stupidity in the world. Let's just leave it at this -- when someone is doing something productive, they're not a loser. When they're tearing things down and being destructive, they're the worst kind of loser alive.

Ya may have missed this one -- an army general, female, gets harassed by an army general, male. Nothing really happens at first, since it was a career ender for both of them (her for making an issue, him for being a dork). But, when he was up for a promotion, she got a little livid about it, and went ahead and filed. The result? Army General Guilty of Kissing Female General. He's going out on the downside. Nice to see that the system works.

"We know you're dying, but first we need to stop by the Amoco Station". Well, not really. They needed to have a a tow-truck come by with fuel, since they didn't even GET to the station. Girl in the back died, but she probably would have anyway. Still, we'll never know. Nice job, guys.

Okay. The kid, troubled as he was, decided to take himself out. He failed, apparently not understanding the strength of his neck. But what the juvenile facility did was downright dumb.

Surprise -- no matter your race, if you say the wrong thing you're committing a hate crime. Now, the purpose of hate crime legislation was twofold -- first to punish "bad thinking" (hi, Big Brother!), and second, to balance punishment normally divided by race. The problem is that crime is now going to be hate crime, and everyone will get extended sentences, and there will still be a racial divide in the prisons as more and more non-whites get prosecuted for going out against the whites. I don't see how this solved anything.

Not that long ago I mentioned the problems in Iran with a lack of airconditioning. Temps there were above 120 deg. Now, Arabia has always been partially desert, and it gets hot there, so I was thinking it might just be a statistical anomaly. But, now that Nine People Died As A Heatwave Sweeps Southeast Europe, I have to wonder about it. Is there some terrible drought WORLD WIDE? Is this a result of global warming? Is it all Al Gore's fault? Really bored minds are enquiring and want to know!

Kudos to the parents! Public anger stalls exclusive Pepsi deal. Now, partially I just hate Pepsi (I took the challenge, and spit out the soda yelling "WHAT IS THIS CRAP?" before they showed me it was Pepsi. Kinda kiboshed their show that day, and they packed up and left. Wonder why.) and partially because I agree that this is a dangerous way to get money for education. But, I'm weird that way.

The baby is fussy today. She finally went to sleep, and has slept through the exterminator tromping around the attic. I hope she rests well, but everyone was going to get out and have an afternoon away from the house. Maybe we can get something done outside tonight.

Refusing to condemn the violence, March Leader Harold Gracey has basically lowered himself below the hardline IRA. A refusal to work towards peace and condemn those that bring about division is uncharitable, unchristian, and condemnable. Well, he may not condemn the violence, but I will. And, I'll condemn him for his refusal to be part of the solution, too. *sigh*

Yes, anyone can be published on the internet. And, by that, I do mean ANYONE regardless of talent, technique, or skill. I am glad that the world affords us this opportunity, so that we can all learn the differences between true art, crap, and what I draw on my whiteboard.

Thanks to the people at The Straight Dope I have been introduced to the Official Cowtipping Homepage. I'm not sure if I should be thankful or not. All the thrills of living in the rural midwest without having to look at large fields, I guess. Hey, that's a positive!
8:41 AM - <da Link>
My only question about the guy that got the Life Sentences in Deaths of Kids is this -- how does consecutive life sentencing work? Do they evaluate your karma at death, compare that to newborns, and track you down for future incarceration? I only marginally understand dharma, but this does not bode well for the ruling body.

A guy in the UK buys STUN GUNS for his KIDS, and doesn't realize they may be illegal. My question is WHY DIDN'T THE SELLER realize that the ship-to address was in the UK, and ask the right questions about authority to own, or at least warn the buyer? Weird.

Of all the weird things in the world, I don't think I could have predicted this one -- there are still people out there who think Einstein is wrong, and that the universe is very newtonian.

Goooooood Morning!
Well, kinda. The OrangeMen are still at it in N. Ireland. My wife had a good point last night -- if Sinn Fein is directly responsible for all factions of the IRA and their offshoots, why can't we hold the Ulster Unionists and the Orange Order responsible for all loyalist groups? Seems fair to me. People forget that not that long ago the IRA and Sinn Fein hated each other, and actually came to blows. They're not as closely aligned as the UUP would have us think.
Anyway, looks like things are getting even weirder, and parades are getting cancelled, barricades and razorwire are being erected, and things are getting burned just like the riots of Los Angeles. Oh, boy.
But, other than that, things are doing pretty well so far today!

Now, this looks like Sir Sean's colors. It's the MacLean, not the MacLeod. Did someone make him the wrong colors, or can we attribute this to the stupidity of the press?
2:17 PM - <da Link>
Well, that was a stupid thing....
Munchkin wrapped up her glasses in her towel so she wouldn't lose them. Then she put the towel on a seat so she wouldn't lose it. Now the towel looks like a cushion, so someone sits on it.
$77 later, and we have new glasses on order, a partial fix for the ones she has, and a hope that someday, in the far future, we will be able to impart some sensibility to this poor soul that only thinks half way. Like I would be an effective teacher of that lesson...*sigh*
1:13 PM - <da Link>
Okay. Someone brought up to me that Sir Sean, in getting his Knighthood, was wearing the MacLeod colors. Problem is, all my memories of MacLeod are yellow, black, and, red. This is quite the dark green. Any guesses on what colors he's really wearing? I'm going to drag out my swatch book, but I was hoping someone here might know. Click that there e-mail button on the left if you have a guess!

Well, so much for the march. You throw bombs and rocks at the cops, and they'll Ban Your Parade. Not surprising, actually, since this is the direct result of people being stupid. Ah, well.

Be careful with guns! An important message to all people. But, in demonstrating the dangers of a gun to your date, should you shoot yourself for emphasis? Or, was it just an accident? Either way, it's damned goofy. We really should do something about these people, and just put them in a room with some toasters and bathtubs.

A really cool cooking site was discovered by Zannah (/usr/bin/gurl) as a neat way to link what is in your kitchen with what you can throw together in a hurry. Now, you can find lots of cooking databases to do this, but a free website is neat. Check out CookingByNumbers.com, but keep in mind that they aren't helping you make a meal for yourself, but instead to get lucky on your date. Neat recipies, though.

Gooooooood Morning!
And, it is a better morning today! I got to get my baby out of her crib, so I got the first hugs of the morning. I also got the munchkin up, so that she could go get her trophy for being in swim team this summer. And, I got my wife out of bed, which means that I was the first up today, something that almost never happens! I took my multivitamin, which hopefully will offset the weird chemical nonsense of yesterday, and I have class tonight, and I'm partially prepared! I've just got to read a little more so I get the names down, and I'll be set.
Now, if I could just get my brain started, I'd be fine!

Oddly enough I'm suffering a nasty bit of melancholia right now. Dunno why, but I sat and watched a monitor for 45 minutes before leaving work because it was more interesting than moving. I'm having a bit of my birthday cake right now (thanks, Elfgirl) in hopes that it will help. Any ideas? I've taken multivitamins, in thoughts that it might be chemical. Maybe it's the weather. Maybe I'm a lunatic. Ah, well. At least I'm a lunatic with cake....

It's beginning to look like it isn't safe to outside my own neighborhood anymore, what with all the vampire rats and stealing squirrels running the streets. Soon the horses will be running the syndicate and you'll wake up with the GodFather's head in your bed. And, sleeping with the fishes will have a much lewder meaning. This is what happens when anti-gun nuts stop hunting. Animals quit being afraid, and start asserting these weird attitudes.

If you live in Atlanta, or just want to visit sometime, take an extra effort to arrange a visit to The New American Shakespeare Tavern. It's kinda like dinner theatre, but with better beer, and really good Shakespeare. Not something that would show at the Fox, or in the Woodruff Arts Center, but certainly good for commercial productions. And, like I said, the place is a DINNER theatre. The Black Bean Chili is wonderful, as is the King's Supper. *sigh* One summer they did space opera, which was terribly cool!
I need to get a babysitter, and the matinee schedule! They're doing Taming of the Shrew in September. A nice break in the fall, yes?

The BBC always has cool stories. Meet the half-sheep half-goat from Botswana known as "The Rapist." Apparently, though presumably sterile, he was quite sure of his need to pass along his mangled genes. Kinda like the weird guy in the next dorm room down the hall back at college.

Okay. First of all, the idea of chowing down on sheep intestine seems a bit...well....gross. Second, the idea that it might be unhealthy just makes it even more unpalatable. Add to this the fact that such a thing could jeopardize trade relations with other sovereign nations, and it makes sense to review the need for it . But, to name this stuff kokorec is just foolish. I'm getting some weird mental image of chocolate-covered rectal intestine, with an animated character zipping around my screen yelling "I'm cookoo for KoKoRec!". Shoot me. Shoot me now.

I know that having a pint of stout every now and again won't harm me (and Guinness is good for you!) but the thought that having a few too many might cause me to allow the munchkin to drive a large vehicle makes me wanna be sure I have an extra plate of chips and mary-rose sauce. Oh, great. Now I'm thinking lunch thoughts...

Goooooood Morning! *yawn*
Still asleep, but not terribly so. Occasionally I bang my head on my desktop, but that is the nature of the beast, I guess.
The weekend was interesting, and now I finally return to the normal grind. While on "vacation" I spent lots of time with my newest daughter, something that was good for both of us. However, I didn't get any of the rest or relaxation normally associated with vacations because I was spending lots of time with my newest girl. Her mother, on the other hand, got lots of time to herself to do things she's wanted to start, work on, or finish for a few months now. A good thing, since it's hard to take a vacation from being 'mom'.
So, I'm signing paperwork, checking POs, and doing the normal work of being a manager again. Time to find something neat to share on the web!

Well, I never got a cake, but my sister did get me some overcolored creme horns. I didn't get the winning lottery ticket, but I did get a new power drill, the Ranma OAV DVD set, and Cathedral (cool game). I had a cool time at Dragon*Con, but I didn't get propositioned this year (I think pushing a pram the whole time might have had something to do with it). So, all in all, not a bad weekend.
I still want my cake, though.
