I didn't wait in line for it

I was at Walgreens, they had a rack of Harry Potter, so I bought one.

I read about half of it so far. It is dark and consistent with her other books with periods of unnecessary dry spots and the Scooby Doo clues and mysteries that one wonders why it would take weeks or months for teens, especially smart at casting spells and tactics to put together puzzles like:

people, soylent green, is

So ... we have a few combinations leading to soylent green is people, okay, yeah ... that's important.

My other little complaint about her style of writing, though clearly geared for kids, is the stuff in the background IS important, like the cast of thirty some characters you've developed. Let's just talk about seven of them, alright then? I guess, it seems to me that you write one thing, then forget it a few chapters later or a book later. Odd anyway.

I think the avid Potter readers will enjoy the references to the other books and the little tidbits and red herrings in this last book.

Let's read this ... nope, given nothing of the book away. Enjoy, or not.

technically speaking ...

So, I put together a project for work. It took me a bit of time. I emailed the work, but thought I ought to have a back up plan if that fails.

Yep, the server got 2 of 30 emails I sent. I also put the work together so that the people there had only to click on file, then hit print. Apparently, that was too technical for the GM. I showed him click, print.

I discovered that the margin parameters (maximum range) for the presently-used printer were inferior to the printer I use at home, so, I will later show the staff how to go into MS Word, click picture and change the size allowing it to fit neatly on the ONE page for each and every entry.

In the end, I got a, "thanks".

It will be good to leave that job and leave them as they left me ... "buried alive in the center of a dead" vacuum of complacency and idiocy.

They can then shout, "Khan" very loudly so that it echoes into space.

American consumers brought to their knees

Full of want and "to be the first", American consumers do what the Soviet people did in the 80s, wait in long lines. In the U.S. we have fools waiting in long lines for:
X-Box, X-Box 360, PS-2, PS-3, PSP, iPod, iPhone, Harry Potter, new entree at fast food place.

Let's face it folks, if you have that much time to waste ... say 90 minutes waiting in line for a movie ticket to see it first day, you've got too much time. If you wait for two hours for ride Vortex 720 roller coaster ... something is wrong with your brain.

If you can't wait to get a 2008 model so you'll pay the extra $2000 - $5000 for the "rare" opportunity, then you've got a want problem. I think that I've had time off a job for a while then working a fartload of hours and that's given me a better idea that I don't want to waste my time waiting to be third in line rather than just go another day. I don't dance around with bragging rights, so I think I'd rather not waste time waiting in line for something that I can get later.

Gee, if I don't get it now, it will be $5 more. Um ... OK.

okay 'roarj

Astro and the gay writers. Kid you not, there are some wacky jobs out there. Here are two:

I was looking for a job when ...

I found a posting for writing, creative management of Netsmartz. They even have a few small area videos. The one I watched was about a thirteen year-old girl who ran away with a fifty-six year-old man (murderer) who was jailed for 25 years. The girl is safe now, but how safe could anyone in that family feel, really.

While I might not have what it takes to get that job, it was refreshing to see some site out there to protect through education.

This might be a guy's fantasy of sorts

Lick it Up by Kiss
performance isn't shabby either ... Dr. Love.

Oh, and Scorpions too!

oh, no ... tears are fallin'

Whimper, tear ducts working, sadness, inconsolable. She cries, peeved, no point talking about it; she's young, tired and presently irrational. Yep ... I've been around enough teens to know that some fits of high emotion are like fireworks; safe at a distance only. I couldn't help her, but was sad about it nonetheless.

The next person was different.
"[my name], [person's name] is on the phone for you."
Me? I figured that that person would prefer speaking with the GM, but I got the "opportunity".

She fought with her hubby and things went crappy from there. Essentially, she went spiraling down like shot bi-plane. Her decent wasn't as fast as a modern plane, but there was no way to escape it, except for bailing out without a chute. I already helped her in one way and much to no avail.

To embitter me, the husband called one day prior and needed to talk with a male manager believing that I would side with him because of male camaraderie. Dude, I don't know you. Don't pretend we're friends.

....
Camp counselor ... my first best duty, but it doesn't pay for squat.

homework done

I got a "homework" assignment. I finished it. I'm still peeved that, while I finish my projects, work, and make timely simple suggestions -- "that guy is full of shit" pisses me off to no end. I do, while others watch. Two guys there didn't know how to make purchases online.

So, you mastered driving did you?

It's like; "Is your wife a goer? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. ... Have you ever had sex? Yes. What's is like?"+

+ skit from Monty Python where rude and course guy is pestering another man about his wife, in the end forthcoming with his insecurities, naivety and inexperience.

I'll find a new topic ... soon

Well, this blog, as of late, is:

want for a woman, unnamed,
dislike and loathing of work


How about, the grass is greener after a few hours of rain? There, God's mercy on us for the rain, His mercy on me for no tickets and a functioning car.

"Always look on the bright side of life"+

What I've become

dog gone it -- still aching

She is on my mind ... in my mind ... penetrated it.

Oh, and she does have red hair.

Here's my card

but all I see is the back end of a horse ...
oh, I get it.

One guy at work reminded me that he is a big ass.

playing chicken with a truck

On my way to work, I saw a chicken truck ... piled high racks of chickens. On my way back from work, I saw a moron driving his truck trying to get close enough to touch the semi truck that was driving ... both going around 42 miles per hour through town. Smart, right?

Fly flies then dies

Thank You

Then one time at the lake

Jessica and Lori wanted to waxing my problem hair areas. I agreed as long as I could get plenty zonked. I stopped drinking and good thing too for they were at the store for a long, long time. When they returned I was sober and in no way agreeing to rapid follicle extraction.

Thanks to Daniel Shelton who creates Ben for this comic.

SLAP!

So I found out which lines don't work very well.

1. There's a party in my pants, want to cum?
2. Live with me if you want to cum!
3. Cum with me if you want to live!
4. One time, in my pants ... (said like American Pie's "one time at Band Camp ...)
5. When you slapped me in the face, I thought you were warming up your seat.
6. I believe in safe sex on my latex air mattress bed.
7. Need help going down on the stairs?
8. It doesn't matter, I'll act thespian or lesbian for you.
9. I enjoy great thighs, breasts, and ribs, but I don't eat meat.
10. I was just warming my hands.
11. I was practicing pencil sharpening.
12. It was standing at attention awaiting orders.

like a sugar high

I think my pangs for her are waning now. Thank goodness. It helped that she wore a really ugly lipstick color. I think it was "fatlip" color from the Mike Tyson cosmetic company. When she's worn more natural lip color ... with her general appearance ... ummm, yum. What attracts me isn't her visage, but rather her. When I've spoken with her, she's interesting, has ideals and hasn't had the bit of luck to show her great potential.

There's another woman there who's the local hottie, but she's a puzzle with missing pieces that would take you years to assemble. She's had an unhappy life-- so there's luggage, baggage, and a void (needing to be filled). Too much, too much for me thanks! The other little hottie is still teen-thinking in many respects. Dude, grapes aren't wine, there's a process that's missing there.

Still, the woman there who invades my dreams ... hm. If only reality were more malleable -- I'd change me.

uh huh (noddng of head)

So there was a family who nodded heads as they were asked questions. I had to think of where I saw it before. It was in Men in Black when Agent K and Agent D stopped a truck with illegals. There was an alien that didn't speak Spanish. It was the same.

Did you want nuclear capability with this?
nod

Would you like to nibble on my bottom?
nod

What is the capital of Peru?
nod

Look! The problem was, "yes" or nodding was the wrong answer. Had one of you understood English or responded, "no comprende", I would have tried something else, but you did neither. Flakes! Sunzabichesbumpises!

YouTube thinks I'm a loser

I have no subscribers, no friends, geez! I get it!
