Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

Blues for NYPD


Well, if they have job postings in the Midwest for NYPD, then things are bad! Hey, look! Three things; don't get killed; don't get caught; we're all here for you.

Eat my shorts!

The Harrison Square project will continue despite the many blatant signs that it should not. Well, hotel canceled, investments leaving, not enough money ... wait! There's tax revenue from a source that could be used. So, rather than update fire service to an area or fix city streets or buy more salt for the Winter, we'll dump money into a project that seems life itself is trying to crush. Dear city government, do not proceed with this doomed project.

Buffering suffering

Slow download to lead to stupid or outright terrible video. Suffering is more like it, not "buffering".
Maybe it's the "emo" version.

Meaningful words

Cracked, rusted, in dire straits, but still ... Hakuna Matata, in every sense.
Monkeyjack's front license plate.

bride of scarecrow

Whose wedding dress was used, I do not know. I only know that come Autumn, that thing will be a bit eerie. Beetlejuice anyone?

faster way to die?

I'll just put this in my mouth and poof!

making up rhymes with bad English

"half" with "math". It really doesn't match, unless you have such poor English skills that "math" is pronounced, "maff"

With that you could just "wiffle while you work". Wiff dis wing, I doo dee wed. I spelz fein, funker, wuz yo callin me a foo? I dun need no skool, I'z richer den yo, and gots me so much ice yo kan skate on dis ---ger.

Yep, Dr. Martin Luther King would be "dun proud y'all" made it to where Obama gets backing for Presidency and many Blacks are still using the "N" word for themselves. Yep -- he'd be so proud you made it. Way to go rappers for paving the way backward -- reinforcing stereotypes and encouraging youth to stay permanently defiant and fairly ignorant.

spoilers

Well, I saw a picture of statements printed on car windows divulging some ending statements about Deathly Hallows. I will correct them, as they are a little erroneous.

Voldemort marries Snape, they have three children.
Hagrid kills Harry
Hermoine and Ron kill each other because each thinks the other is a stupid "git"
Neville seriously wounds Rowling for bad parts in her books.
Dumbledore was really hidden underneath a coin in a study and wasn't actually dead.
Uncle Vernon contracts cancer and has a change of heart -- ha ha.
The Death-Eaters rename themselves the Trans-fat avoiders.

Okay, they are all lies.

not as random as lightning

There's a spat, fight, separation -- pending divorce, then reconciliation, but ...
truer to life than a soap, one of the two, at least one of the two is flirting with danger and another person. Yeah, the reconciliation is sincere -- right up to the, "honest" word which is a lie.

At work ... someone is trying to sabotage his/her life by screwing around -- or leading to that. Yup -- choosing disaster over fixing. How surprising!

stagger, stagger, crawl ...

It's ...

Just shake your rump

sippin purple chango

N2Deep, with characters and elements of Rumpshaker.

Charlie bowler

Yesterday's gone





Charlie playing "Chicken Little"



Charlie playing "Chicken Little"



Lori gets home, dogs go wild




Echo greeting me!


Well, I met up with Monkeyjack and family yesterday. We met at Munchies and we had the beer sampler -- 10 beers in 2oz shots. There was a Chardonary-esque beer that was bad, but most were fair. I liked the American Red of Mad Anthony Brewery. I wound up getting an accidental free beer. Monkeyjack was kind enough to splurge and take the whole bill -- I owe him!




We then went to Zesto's ice cream and later to Monkeyjack's place. There, Charlie wanted to show me rented games -- Chicken Little being his favorite of the two.

Tasha said, "no no"


Well, here's her picture!

She's cute, adorable, feisty little teen-thinking girl. Tasty, but it ends there. You'd think she was something else if you took much of what she said seriously.

Yes, the background and some foreground were further edited.

My computer died for a few short hours

Thankfully, while expensive, it is now working. The power pack, now number 3, is garbage. The guy there is ordering a refurbished one. I credit these guys with diagnosing the problem free and finding a solution. I suggest, if you ever need computer aid, to seek out these guys.


Nicely done, guys!

Deathly Hallows

Okay, well ... it was a fair conclusion, parts needlessly contrived and long-winded, but a good deal better than book 5 -- piece of garbage. Anyway, the only bits I'll add, not spoiling a bloody thing:

it is a dark book, you get to learn about Snape -- more than you knew.

There is no spoilage here ... I've given away nothing. It also finishes with a "now what?" epilogue.

If I were to rank the books, I like the books in this order: 4, 1, 3, 6, 7, 2, 5

Maia hates Kirby to pieces

Which, interestingly, is what she is trying to tear poor Kirby into at this point.
