casual walk through town at night

I drove through the town where I work -- very late, as I was at work very late. Walking casually through a parking lot was a deer, lookng for nothing in particular. It was an odd sight, like an escaped animal or the like, since the nearest "forest" dwelling was some bit away. I wonder if it ever found home.

Later on the highway, there were less-fortunate critters, including two deer. What oddness, one was lost, two lost their lives. Hmmm.

soap with infusion

Now you can get caffeine or crack in soap. Perhaps when you wash your mouth out with mint soap, you'll be fresher mouthed, not "fresh mouthed". What's next for the absorbable industry ... anabuse soap or alcoholics, methadone soap for addicts, nicotine soap for non-smokers to start and for smokers to quit.

I hate protein, but thanks to protein soap, I can get it without the butchering of animals .. ha ha ha.

I'm movin' up

I got my own --- drumroll ....


shelf for my stuff. I'm really moving up the ladder.

"styles"

"Are you going to be anal", she asked.

Thankfully she was referring to my management style not 'other' styles or positions.

It was worth a great big belly laugh for me.

he just won't quit

My car has developed a drinking problem. He won't quit or seek help and claims he's "too old" to go into any intensive therapy, so I think he'll wind up dying with his drinking problem, perhaps because of it.

I bought several quarts weeks ago and periodically enable my car's drinking addiction. I feel only a little bad about it.

Rumble seats

We were hoppin' for a while tonight -- busy ... groups came in and ordered up a storm... then, slowness, still I was trying to get a messload done, but still one guy spent a good 25 minutes chatting with people -- good for relations, bad for work completion.

Anyway, I tried to pitch in to desperately help a fellow 'ger who didn't do much to help me, but I thought that I could try it anyway ... you know, just because it's the righ thing to do. I don't expect it to be reciprocated.

The groups got me hopping trying to get them finished and organized and I could not keep up with that and my other duties. Time flew by tonight.

D & D, TV, PBS plus DVR

"Your dialogue is at an end, Dungeon Master". Well, MR used his DVR to get Dungeons & Dragons, the cartoon, and we got a chance to watch them.

Wiff, wiff ... what's that smell -- okay, so they weren't so good as leftovers, still ... interesting to see them again. The borrowed themes from that show are show obvious, I was waiting for the VH-1 or MTV bubbles to pop up with trivia points.

After that, we saw two interesting bits (three really).

We saw an interviewer talking with kids from Virginia Tech. Okay ... so "how did this affect you? Were you scared?"
Okay, turn off the camera, this guy's a putz. It wasn't until yesterday that I found out that only four victims' names were released -- hence, "only the sexy people now" appearance of the collection.

We saw then, two PBS shows, one on Iraq, the second on "Why are we there, supporting the position of legitimate democracy". Well, I prefer the what's going on there now, rather than:
"Here's my take", shove, shove, shove.

There was a guy who had an unswerving position of, "we are right being there" and he got the following, generalized responses:
"We shouldn't have gone", "We should go soon", "We tried, but it didn't turn out", "things aren't as you say". In essence, few to none agreed with him.

He mentioned Afghanistan, and how we must stay there to ensure its survival as an infant democracy. Dude, you were talking about Iraq, stay focused please. His segue was that Afghanistan is important and so is Iraq -- helping the democracy, regardless the cost and thanklessness of the job. He mentioned a few instances of the UN sitting on their arses and thumbs, yet the US made strides.

Well, at the end, there was a recap, essentially -- "the positions stated in this documentary may not reflect the views of this stations and/or its affiliates".

So, there you go ... that was a little better than the news as it gave you the plus side ... the why we were there, and the counterpoints. That's the kind of reporting I prefer.

You don't have to agree with anyone, but at least you are getting a better perspective rather than (my side, and a side of fries), you see you get both sides. Uh, no. Show it all or don't show anything.

Following that was an officer training Iraqi police trying to use nationalism to embolden them to work for Iraq, not factions -- sadly, I think with tribal people, there will always be tribal preference and failings. Even the Japanese and Chinese ended dynasties and family wars between factions long ago. Yet, there in the Middle East, tribes ... WTF, mate?

and I'm glad he did it to himself

In a meeting, one guy was put on trial ... no one came to his defense, so it might be that he will be let go. The guy peeved the GM (by lack of professionalism, attention to job) -- unwise thing to do. I, personally, had no liking for the guy. So, if he were to have metaphorically killed himself at the job -- so be it.

bedazzled

"I dazzled him with my (pause) wits." + I am getting computer projects. Hey, that sounds like a job for Superman, or that guy who likes to deal with computers. Now, a couple of the other people there claim sainthood on computer savviness, but I've expressed doubts on that. I suppose that I was given the assignment for these two reasons:

1. I have completed other assignments given to me in the past
2. I have demonstrated my knowledge of computers and their use(s)

I should have learned by now ... don't make waves, they'll expect them thereafter.

+ 10 Things I Hate About You

Thrice a year

I sleep very soundly ... last night I had three wonderful hours of great sleep. I woke at 3:20 am, but returned to bed anyway. It was enough quality sleep that it alone made me refreshed.

Cho

let's see here ... "could have left", "could have fled", but "I didn't".

Pre-meditated, dark, and not insane. His roommate, spared. Let us not hang, "crazy mother ..." here on this guy. He bought guns and ammo to use them. He targeted one/two people first, then dropped off a package to NBC, and went off to a spot where he could effectively wage his rampage on people. Rather than go through a court hearing on "I iz just plain twaizy", he killed himself.

Does that make him crazy ... I don't think so. So, he was depressed ... as are many people.

I don't sleep well. If I were to go on a killing spree due to lack of sleep -- that's no excuse or defense.

Cho, bad man, end of story ... next.

2 nights ago

Salvador Dali met up with Tim Burton and Clive Barker to create odd, sickening horrors in my sub-level sleep ... I could see things, terrible, disjointed, Dali-like arrangements, but they moved ... or I knew that they were alive

graphic, scary, I don't know why I thought of any of it
Last night, to my knowledge, I though of nothing like those things.

Spanish doubloons

I still get the air of, "it's a Rolex"+ from some putz's who drop a fifty or a hundred for a bill. Boy! That sure doesn't impress me. What would impress me is if you like, uh ... spoke English and not grunted (not only the Spanish speakers grunt rather than talk), and someone please just jump on the tab. Hey, you group of ten -- did you ask for separate checks? I got food and drink ... next. I got a hundred --- chin rises uncontrollably. Dude ... if you had a credit card and used it and signed with a nice tip on the check -- then, that would be worth something.

A filthy fifty dollar bill, likely a habitat for loads of viruses, bacteria and specimen samples, doesn't impress me. How many drug dealers, users, prostitutes, pimps have "used" this bill?

I still wonder how many places pay in cash rather than, oh ... I don't know ... check or electronic deposit? That's just nuts! I see more Spanish-speakers use large bills. I wonder why that is, but I could only speculate or guess.

+ Die Hard

Fair shake

Apart from my, aforementioned dissatisfactions, I think that the 'gers have given me a fair shake. I think it is due them as well. So, turn the other cheek, new leaf, whatever -- I'll dust myself off and try again and worry about criticizing me instead.

and this year it grows hot

Predator will likely strike L.A. again this year, for he seeks warm/hot climates to hunt.

Lest anyone forget, Los Angles is not a good city ... not God fearing or God loving. 1992, riots. Of course when things don't turn out the way you want -- riot, stab, shoot, kills, burn, rampage, rape, oh and

loot.

Yeah, nothing shows your anger more than robbing and looting. That'll show them! Yeah. We'll teach those people a lesson and we'll rob from our own community. Yeah! So there!

I'm waiting. I'm sure that California is depressed that they have been out of the limelight for too long now. There was Louisiana with resdients too stupid to move. Then, Smith, then East Coast getting snow, again. Now, quiet Virginia will consume more air time. What about us, they'll claim. We want news coverage too. Fine, we'll riot again. The immigration has changed -- riot! The immigration hasn't changed -- riot! The sun rose again today -- riot! A man in the back said, "everyone attack" and it turned into a statewide blitz.

I'm just Mr. Negative

Man! I go to the trouble of droppin' a load of poop on glass, have it bronzed and shown in the Boston Museum of Art and you have the nerve to call it crap? No man, that's art.

"Ney, ney", as said by Jon Pinette, that is (well, rhymes with baseball mitt) and you know it.

I write about the stadium and poo-poo it. I write about media and poo-poo that. I poo-poo a lot, but if it smells like it, looks like it, degrades like it, decomposes like it, draws flies like it ... I'm really confindent that I'm close if not dead on when I call it crap.

Okay, America!

Let's face it ... lawyers should be on trial here.

Stupidty is not a defense here. Competent to stand trial my foot! Look, just because you aren't jovial about entering the courtroom doesn't mean you aren't fit. Okay, so you're five hundred pounds -- you're fit enough for trial.

If you bleedin profusely, then maybe not fit. If you are in a psychological quagmire of insanity, then I'd say we let you swim your way back to Iceland from the Bermuda triangle center.

Woman kills her child. Gee, then psychologists claim she's depressed. No foolin'? Start the trial, you flunkies!
