Poking fun at the GOP
The idea popped in my head and I just started grinning. Then I immediately made it. Hope you find it as funny as I do. Can’t wait to find out who of the Grand Obese Party can’t take a joke.
What took me so long?
I was out in the Hill Country tearing down structures so the water-well repair people could repair the well and water storage tank. It took a few days more than I planned so I’ve been offline longer than expected. The good news is that manual labor lends to a decent tan and free exercise.
RIP Jazz
Got a call from the family this morning telling about how Jazz died as everyone was getting ready. She was the oldest Siberian Husky that was ever a part of the family. 15 years, 2 months, and 5 days old. What a way to start the week. I’m going to miss that little ball of joy.
I know its hasn’t been personal lately.
I haven’t made that many personal posts as of late. This is mainly due to trying to: a) Connect my LJ blog to my evoflux site blog which is suppose to be possible due to the flexible nature of Expression Engine (my CMS). b) Code in the ability to have private posts on my home site as well. Yeah, I could just port over the posts from LJ, but I’m a bit OCD on using just one system that can be cross-platform. On a geeky note I found out I can use asp.net and Ruby on Rails with my current site setup. Decisions, decisions....
One may ask themselves, “Why on earth would he want to make private posts?” For most of us it is obvious. For the remainder (though I don’t know if they’re currently the majority or minority) privacy is dear and important. Unless you’re walking the earth like Kain in Kung-Fu we’re all on the grid and completely trackable. That thought is troublesome. Keep what you can private. We’re already sharing too much information without realizing it.
Well that is about it. It’ll get personal once I get those worked out. Cheers.
What happens to friends and family way over there
Over the weekend my sister and good friend were in L.A. at a party being thrown (at Will’s place) when Universal Studios caught fire. They were lucky to be close enough to watch the entire thing from the roof of Will’s place.
Pro: drinking to oblivion with good friends.
Con: Apparently a movie studio smells like burning plastic while wailing in an inferno.
Pro: Me being here and them there so-as I don’t have my OCD kick into cleaning high gear the next morning
I really should just relocate out there. There is no way in hell I’ll stay away from the Lone Star as my main home for too long though.
What I Don’t Eat
I fucking hate Spam and Ramen. Apparently others don’t share the same sentiment. Its their loss.
Its an old truck, but not that old
Either my gas milage dropped by half after filling my tank last or I’ve had my truck syphoned for the second time in so many months. A gas tank cap lock has been on the shopping list since the first incident. Well now its become more of a necessity. Tell your cars to watch their gas holes....
Backpacker Magazine Editor’s Choices of 2008
Recently Backpacker’s Magazine released its gear list for 2008. Normally I wouldn’t give a shit about it since I like my gear just fine (hey, we’re not in an upgrade year). I have to say I was impressed by this little gadget.
Since the damn thing is retailing at $149.99 USD currently its hard not to pass up. Well, it is at the moment, but I’m hoping that will change.
