I watched Elizabethtown tonight for the second time. It gave me the chance to note a few more things about it than I did the first time around. I was a little nervous because I wasn’t sure I’d like it as much the second time around, but it was the opposite: I liked it even…
I free associate when I drive. Driving to a clothing store this morning, I passed a church that was having a flea market in the parking lot. In front of the church was a sign that had the times for worship, as well as the time for Sunday School classes. Sunday school got me thinking…
It cooled down to 47 degrees last night, and while I didn’t have the heat in the house on, I did turn on the space-heater in my bedroom to take the chill out of the air. Autumn has definitely arrived (although it is supposed to get back into the 80s in the middle of the…
My good buddy strausmouse was asked by his company to write an article on skydiving for their magazine. He’s never been skydiving before, but he has now. Check out a really cool description of his experience yesterday.
I ran over to Rite Aid this morning because I needed more milk and was too lazy to go all the way to the grocery store for it. I picked up my milk and made my way back to the cashier, and right there, in the middle of the greeting cards aisle was a $100…
Milk has always been one of my favorite drinks. So I was pleased and amused this morning when I came across a segment of 60 Minutes where Andy Rooney complained about what’s being pawned off as milk these days. You can read the essay or better yet, watch the video.
Esquire magazine has been featuring it’s sexiest woman alive for 2006 mystery articles. I know who it i-is! Anyone who knows me should be able to guess.
I might have touched on this before, but I was thinking about paperless offices again this morning (having cleaned up much of the paper in my office earlier today). I am convinced that the move to a “paperless” office will be a very difficult one to achieve. In fact, it may be close to impossible…
“Next generation” is a phrase that annoys me. I am reading the documentation to some new software (yes, I actually read the documentation) that I want to use and in the first sentence the software is described as “an innovative, next generation application…” What exactly does “next generation” mean? I’d like to see “this generation”…
Today is payday and to celebrate, I cleaned up my office when I got into work this morning.
Okay, maybe there is not as much of a difference as I thought, but I think I see a little improvement. Maybe? July 27, 2006 September 28, 2006
At the McDonalds in the mall above which my office building rests, I noticed an interesting quirk on their menu. Cheeseburgers cost $1.29. But on their “Dollar” menu, a double cheeseburger costs $1. While standing in line, I thought to myself that really, this is only slightly insane. What would be truly insane is if…
