Random Thoughts

First, a happy, belated birthday wish to bigrock, one of the first persons I knew was on LJ.


Today begins the 12 days of hell. Twelve days straight of work. The fact that we could be totally screwed by moving to the new system (at least for the first few weeks), just makes it all the better.

I need to update the resume, and possibly post it to Monster, and such. Just in case.

Shower heads should be placed from the wall, towards you. No exceptions.

I love Houston, but heading to other cities always makes me wish Houston had more attractions. I always find myself having problems telling people what to do in Houston. This town's attractions are more secretive and mundane. There's no great tower, or stunning historical artifact. It's not a capitol or historically significant. Still, it's a nice city to live in, with good people, and a general can-do attitude. There's no big issues dividing the city, and nobody riots in the unlikely event that one of our sports teams would actually win a championship.

Number of LJ'er's met in person, 8. I'll see if I can make it 9 over lunch today.

Yes, Aqualad is a puss, but Robin giving the top twenty countdown is still funny. "Hey, Penguin, here's your long distance bat-a-rang and dedication."

Creative writing. This isn't it. Off to work.

More foolishness

Lunch with Chris oakleycub was very nice. He's a good listener, and has a winning smile. Yet another Dallas cub...how do they get so lucky? I probably scared him by talking my head off. Still, takes the edge off the first day of the 12 Days of Hell (DOHx12), which I do believe starts with a sharp-taloned eagle in a spiky, thorny bitter fruit-bearing tree.

I hate to say it, but the damn Aqualad debate seems like it's taking on a strange life of it's own. I'm now on the third day of having to explain that the villain did call it a limp-ness ray, as evidenced by Tusky the Walrus using it to destroy the villain's ship. Limp aluminum shell. No, '60s cartoons do not make sense, Randy, they were made by people on drugs.

Yahoo's Numerology Forecast seems to have the current situation summed up well, despite the understandable vagueness of any such astrological (read randomly generated)forecast:

Given your love of experience and learning, Michael, this 1-Day may see you starting something completely new in these areas. Perhaps you have been thinking of a new course or program that has sparked your interest. Or maybe you've recently had the opportunity to go out and try something you've never tried before. Whatever the case may be, let yourself go, Seven. Yours is a path that insists on as much exposure to experience you can get. Feed yourself with this kind of knowledge.

Well, that's interesting, isn't it?
