random shit

no offense, but someone needs to hand him his ass
this barrage of advertising we have to deal with these days is overwhelming. all i want to do is sit on the couch on a quiet saturday morning and drink my coffee and watch the dirty dozen...'you, ...you, dirty dozen...'. But instead, we have to put up with shit like dr. greg senemone or whatever the hell his name is, trying not to insult us, the viewing public, the people who pay his bills.

'no offense, but if you can lose as much weight, then you should put down
that doughnut and get up off yer fat ass and do something about that. unless of
course, you like lining the pockets of rip offs like myself trying to convince
you that even though you can consume an entire turkey in one sitting (and look
like you just have), it's not your fault.'

how fucking stupid do i look? no wait, don't answer that. i mean really, are people that desperate? again, just leave me alone and let me finish the movie.

AMFs 100 greatest songs and the opening ceremonies
i went to the parents last night. hadn't seen them in a week or two and had dinner with them. then we ended up watching the 100 greatest songs from movies ever made and the opening ceremonies of the olympics. the songs weren't bad, but i can't get 'ding, dong, the witch is dead' outta my head and the opening ceremonies was like watching grass grow. but not as exciting. the good time was had because my sister's bulldog was over for the weekend. Lula is a real trip. every effort to get up in your lap and clean your face off with a tongue the size of cincinatti.

'He's cute ain't he? Only problem is, he's got a little bit a Mississippi
Leg Hound in him. If the mood catches him rite, he'll grab your leg and just go
to town. You don't want him around if your wearing short pants, if you know what I mean. Word of warning though, if he does lay into ya, it's best to just let
him finish.'

not a female to be found for miles
Mar and i are gonna go check out AVP this afternoon and then head over to QuakeCon. If you've never seen this or even heard of it, it's basically the biggest concentration of geeks you've ever seen in one central location. two years ago, they had it in Mesquite (where id's offices are located) and there was so much power needed, that the entire city of mesquite lost power for about a half an hour and they brought in an 18-wheeler with a power source big enough to power the city of dallas for an entire month.

'...I had to have it replaced, because every time Catherine revved up the
microwave, I'd piss my pants and forget who I was for a half-hour or so.'
(yeah, i'm on a roll)

i figure we'll do that for a while and then go grab some food and drinks.

in the shop
so, the wrecker service came and picked up Dobra the other day. looks like i won't get her back until after next wednesday. guess they don't keep those parts on hand. and it's gonna be such a beautiful weekend. on the upside, i've got my bubs on the way. this doesn't do them justice, but at least you'll hear me coming.
