Screaming Jacksons, NSO orientations, technology replacing humans, and a nap…

~Tuesday~ Someone pointed to this video in a tweet. I’d never seen it (or heard of it), but I love it. I tweeted this today: nematome: Confession: I’m waiting to buy some MJ music until after they stop reporting the number of sales of everything since his death. #dontknowwhy about 3 hours ago from web … Read more

Silly Putty suicide, additional postage required, a short workout, & playing in a Washing Machine…

~Friday~ Two normally unrelated things in my life came together this week: the campus on which I work, NC State University (NCSU) a fellow blogger and friend, Ginny Skalski when NCSU did a public experiment and Ginny recorded it and put it on her website, 30threads.com. Before you look at the video, picture in your … Read more

Oven and fridge buses, homosexual demons, and more Anna Karenina…

~Tuesday~ I was totally rushed to get to the bus this morning, and only when it pulled up did I realize I didn’t have my badge (a.k.a. “my free fare ticket”) around my neck, nor did I know where it was. Fortunately, the driver recognized me and said, “Yeah, I know you, come on in.” … Read more

Geographical religion, some cheap Ts, dinner@Joe’s, Mostly Social Book Club, and karaoke…

~Sunday~ We were up just before nine after a good eight hours of sleep. For breakfast, I microwaved some pre-cooked turkey sausage patties, sliced up a hard-boiled egg, and put them on a nice soft small square roll. Good stuff. Robert was a dear and folded laundry while I worked on creating a simple chart … Read more

Traditional marriage explained, a couple of meetings, Sallah’s dad, some stamps, and legalese…

I tweeted about this yesterday, so those of you who follow me on Twitter or saw it in my Facebook status (where all of my tweets end up), can just move on down the page. Nothing to see here. 🙂 “America’s Best Christian takes time to explain to less informed Christians the curious details of … Read more

A fantastic buscapade, some construction art, Ellen’s “Hawaii Chair,” and dinner with Joe…

Where does the time go? Here we are moving into the final month of the first half of 2009, or if you’re a state government employee—into the final month of the fiscal year. The most fantastic buscapade took place today: I took a seat toward the front of the bus for less than thirty seconds, … Read more

My annual intimacy with a woman, your marriage might be next, some errands, and one for the team…

I had my annual physical this morning, which I’ve been dreading for several months now. I got the usual cadre of annual physical checks starting with lab work, which I’d fasted for 12 hours in preparation for, and as always, I asked that an HIV test be included. The phlebotomist seemed like she was “in training”—which is … Read more

Still tedious, some fun pics and vids, and a great dancing night…

I had two meetings canceled at work today, which left me with none. Sweet! I worked all day on finishing up those tedious meeting minutes I was working on yesterday. Still tedious. Someone tweeted a link to this today: And a major FAIL on failblog.org: And, finally, this in from Kirk who told us about … Read more

Contributing, a Wise man, and today’s buscapade (a.k.a. WWHD?)…

I was up and at ’em early this morning as I needed to get into work early enough to write-up my status report to give at my 10:00 meeting. There wasn’t a morning buscapade, but there was one on the way home. Read on. We had our monthly staff meeting at my second-level manager’s level … Read more
