I am aware of all internet tradtions

The kitten just bit my thumb when I was playing with her. Now I know what all those Christians who were fed to lions by the Romans went through.

If you find yourself asking "What the hell?"

Pogs

I knew I was old because of Pogs. Put simply, I was just too old for pogs. Pogs were the first thing that I realized kids were into but I had no interest in. I still don't see what the attraction was supposed to be.

Pogs always make me feel old. HOWEVER! My lack of interest in pogs did sort of coincide with my ability to drive cars and have sex with girls so I'm not too bothered by the trade off.

I've said pog way too many times. I'd say I've said it so much that the word has lost all meaning, but it didn't have much meaning before. Pog? Pog. Pog pog pog pog pog POG!

Today = AWESOME! (a poem)

The car has a coolant leak.
The car I just got back for minor body work from the shop, has a coolant leak.
Not a little leak, a massive leak.
Hol is going back to the insurance company tomorrow instead of work.
Cat's tried to kill a mouse
And the turtles are stalking me.
Did I mention the turtles? I've seen 7 turtles today, every time I've gone outside there were turtles.
Big turtles,
Size of bread plates
HEY!
That's pretty big for a painted turtle.
On the drive way
near the house
looking at me
got nothing to do with them laying eggs in the loose dirt around the house
Turtles know ninjistu man
They are STALKING ME!
And they hiss, one hissed at Holly when she picked it up after it tried to charge the car.
Seriously
And I'm about 5 hours overdue for my nap.
A nap I was going to take because I was 10 hours past bed time.
I'm tired, Fancy tired to kill a mouse, the car's broke, the turtles are stalking me, today has been just fucking awesome.

The new box

Does anyone else remember the "New... BOX" skit from Monty Python?
It's the very first skit I ever saw of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

OOO it's on YouTube



They keep coming back to these guys, who are opening new boxes all along England and I believe them mentioning that the line stretches into the Gobi desert. Okay I looked it up.

Thought

Teddy Roosevelt would not look good in a tube top. For one thing, he's been dead for 90 years.

I love the smell of crazy in the morning. Smells like... awesomeness

Did you know there was disco in Germany? Evidently it reached all the way over there too. Only it didn’t produce evil and terror like it did here (I wake up shivering and crying from dreams of Donna Summer to this day)

I have seen the proof, and it's Dschinghis Khan.



Now honestly, isn't that just the best thing you've seen all day?

According to wikipedia (the fountainhead of all knowledge and never ever wrong) I'm not even the first person to notice how awesome this is.

There is also an English version if you can't speak German and simply MUST know what they're singing. Frankly, understanding the lyrics makes it much less awesome.

To The Future!

I decided to get a laptop. We ordered it today. This means that my laptop is going to be the last one we get. It was my idea to get a laptop, and then Syd and Hol went and got their laptops first! I will not state how many times I decided I wanted to get something only to be the last one to actually get it, if I got it at all. Just not going to go there.

I am getting a Dell Mini 10 in (PRODUCT) RED, because I wanted a red laptop. I've got a Big Blue computer and I wanted a little red notebook, mostly so I could wave it like I was at a Maoist rally. No, really I wanted it like that because we live in the future and in the future everything is color coded. (See 2001, Star Trek the Motion Picture, Silent Running and a few other movies to see my point) Next thing I get will have to be yellow or green. That is because the future is made up of primary colors*.

The only problem is that one of the two things I chose to upgrade isn't in stock right this second so I have to wait 10 days just for the silly thing to be assembled. I'll probably have it before July. No biggie.

Also got a decent looking bag that doesn't look too dumb which is more than I can say for a lot of the bags I've seen for the netbook sized stuff. Then there was a little flask sized (and shaped for that matter) external drive just because it was red and if one is going to go in for a penny they might as well go in for a pound. In addition we decided that a disc drive would probably be awesome, just in case.

I decided on the netbook because I came to the conclusion that if I was going to be on the go with my laptop I would want it to be as small and light as possible while being able to still actually do things. Since it's purely an on the go back up, the limited abilities won't be a problem for me. At least I don't think they will. So long as it's more powerful than Strong Bad's Lappy, that's all I'm worried about.

*Green is a primary color when discussing video. It's plenty valid.
