Pressed whine

After the forty-eighth time through the speech, it gets a bit wearing. On the plus side, I can now correctly pronounce Decatur IL, Des Plaines IL, Louisville KY, Macon GA, Metairie LA, Milwaukee WI, and Ocala FL. Yes, I'm a temp, I'm doing the grunt work

Midwest Blogbash

More on the Midwest Blogbash we went to Friday night. I was joint youngest at the table, with Juan Gato, he of the cool three-eyed fish shirt. Thankfully no cameras, the attempt to use a PDA as a camera failed. To elaborate on my earlier comment, "interesting" is

Lotsofstuffallatonce

Midwest Blog Bash last night at Two Nice Guys in Webster. Interesting crowd. Hey, drop me an email sometime, OK? Pevely Flea Market is great. We own garden tools now, and the ivy's days are numbered. Saw Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. Ewan MacGregor was indeed sporting

Monday Mission 2.18

The PromoGuy's Monday Mission 2.18. 1. Do you have any tattoos? If no, why not and what would you get if you did get one. I have no tattoos or piercings. I don't want a permanent mark on me. Used to wonder about joining the

Moving day

The appliances are en route, the carpet has been cling-filmed, 90% of what can be packed has been, the apartment looks like a warehouse. And DSL is working at the house, roughly twice the speed it was at the apartment. Now we have to shift all the stuff and unpack

Signs of the times

At the exit to our local Quiktrip petrol station, there are two signs for exiting drivers. The first says "Right turn only." All well and good, though you could have worked that out from the way the exit points to the right, making it almost a U turn
