  1. Interesting Quote of the Day

    Keep in mind when reading this, that I’m not racist or pro-war or anti-war or anything, I just found it to be quite a humorous quote.

    You gotta wonder what the world is coming to when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, France is calling the US arrogant [...]

  2. Spring Break

    Just in case anyone stopped by and wondered why I hadn’t updated in forever, it’s simple: I was on spring break, and my wife took Thursday and Friday off, so we had just a blast with our few days off together.
    On Thursday, we drove down to Socorro for a few things. We stopped by [...]

  3. War on Iraq

    So, it started tonight.
    Even though there was tons of hype before it, and everyone knew it was going to eventually happen, it was still a bit of a shock. We had just gotten home from the church where my wife received a calling, turned on the TV and heard that there had been explosions [...]

  4. Dual posting

    Hmm, last my post showed up twice, am hoping this isn’t a trend.
    I’m all for improvements, but I’m a bit nervous that upgrading to MT 2.6x so quickly might have been a bad thing. Ah, the life of a trendsetter. <your laugh here>

  5. Stimulations

    I’m tired, and have less than an hour to go at work, which is a very good thing. Today was a frustrating day at work, because I spent almost three hours troubleshooting what eventually turned out to be a bad processor.
    Enough about work – today, I met with my mom and we met my [...]

  6. Server Problems

    In a sense, I find even writing this entry to be a little ironic, because it’s assuming people actually read this thing, but you never know.
    Some days ago, my hosting company changed servers, and in the process execution of all CGI scripts that didn’t reside in the cgi-bin wound up not executing. That includes [...]

  8. Thank goodness it wasn’t my car

    Police close streets, school in search of armed suspect
    Normally, incidents like this aren’t a big deal, although our police here really pulled out some manpower hunting the guy down, and have yet to catch him. The worst part of the story is that I live in the apartment complex mentioned, and was at home [...]

  9. Vegetarian Buffalo Wings

    Imagine that – two posts in one night. I thought about doing one huge, giant, million-thoughts-at-once sort of post, but instead I opted to split by topic.
    On Sunday, my wife and I went to Wal-Mart and did a huge grocery run, and in the process I happened to see some Morningstar Farms products together. [...]

  10. And I didn’t even eat any Cheerios

    Hey – I lowered my cholesterol.
    Seriously, though, I lowered my cholesterol, as well as my triglycerides. You see, back in January when I visited my doctor for a general checkup of sorts, as well as to discuss my lack of energy, I had a series of blood tests done. The tests revealed that [...]

  11. Interesting Demonstration

    Today was a unique day. My wife and I slept in till around 9:45 in the morning or so, and I’m sure that some people reading this dialogue might consider that early, but for us it was really late. If we’re not out of bed by 8:00am, it’s a weird day.
    After getting up, [...]

  12. Interesting Word of the Day

    Via the Merriam-Webster Word of the Day program, today’s word is “crapulous”.

    crapulous KRAP-yuh-luss (adjective)

    Marked by intemperance especially in eating or drinking
    Sick from excessive indulgence in liquor

    So, keep in mind that saying that you are crapulous after a night of drinking is actually a valid word. It’s like the opposite of fabulous after a heavy [...]

  13. Time Flies When You’re Having Fun

    This weekend was just a blast, at least until late Sunday night.
    Friday I had a nasty Physics test, and I think I did okay, but even so I’m sure it’s not great. I’ll be better prepared for the next one, plus the final can be used to replace your worst grade on a midterm, [...]
