Oh Great

This year, the ganag decided to bake me a cake for the big day. The batter included lots of broccoli and non-alcoholic home-brewed trout-flavored beer.

We're all in the bathroom now.

There must be a damn big glitch in the Matrix...

<looks around for big guys with guns and black suits>

Well, I *did* see a black & white cat yesterday, but this has been going on for a coupla weeks or more now. <cue spookiness>

Greetinks! Meesa Back!

Nothing like a little motivation to get yourself back in gear. Like, a new reader! <waves!> Now that we've established that, I hope our new reader (you want me to use your name or not?) won't mind if I take a moment to fill out this survey...<jumps to next post>...

Ah, now that we've gotten that taken care of-

<"your sense of timing stinks you know that?" -ed.>

-as I was saying originally, there's nothing like a good swift kick to get-

<"oh so NOW it's a good swift kick in the ass. Thought you'd lost your touch there" -ed.>

Ignore him. Anyway, there's a whole bunch of things I shoulda been blogging about lately but haven't so here's another quick run-down:

Isabel: Got 2 digital pix of her when she first came to town, but didn't upload them like I should've so that's one more Post That Coulda Been.

I have a floor: I cleaned the office-that's-not-an-office today and it looks GREAT!!! We may get pix yet DG! DG? <looks around> You still there pal? <organizes search party>

UHF DVD: I'll have to do a whole post on this cuz this is priceless!!! Watched it twice in a row last night for the first time, second time with the commentary on. Al's still at the top of his game!!! Didn't check out the other extras yet so I'm afraid we'll have to wait on that one a bit...

State of the Blogs: Working offline to breathe some life back into those 4 blogs to your left. Hoping to get to actually posting soon.

State of this Blog: Seriously thinking of making this Blog*Spot Plus so I can do some more really kick-ass stuff with it. If I do it, I'm liable to go for the domain thing with it as well so keep your fingers crossed and double-crossed (and double-crossed crossed for those who can and know how, but not double-cross double-crossed crossed cuz that's just plain painful if you do it wrong).

Whisper: WTF is that last bit of verse at the end of Evanesence's song "Whisper"? I can't figure it out and ObK can't figure it out either, unless he forgot to send me an email about it (I UPDATED!). No wait that's me nevermind... <"no, it's Fallen" -ed.> Well, well, a sense of humor after all. <"don't push it" -ed.>

July 31 1980: Remember when I said that I was rereading the Harry Potter series yet again cuz I was certain there was a year mentioned that gave away exact dates and that in going by them, book 7 will end in such a way that the series will never reach the year 2000? Well, I admit to skipping a few sections, and wouldn't you know it, one of those last very sections I skipped was the very one I was looking for. So how did I figure that out? I found a place that had done the same thing. Then Artie body slammed me upside the head for Major Duh Factor (tm). I'm so pathetically lame sometimes. <"just sometimes?" -ed.> Why oh why has -ed. decided to rear his ugly head again all of a sudden? <"cuz you're bored?" -ed.> Nah, that ain't it...

Linkage: I'm sure you've noticed my linking style's changed. You can blame my tardiness in jumping on the "blogging 101 regarding links" bandwagon and Bloggerheads. Both a hearty "thanks a million, I really needed that" and a "thanks a million, it's all your fault ;-D" goes out to everyone there...

Um, I *hope* that's it. SURVERY TIME!!!!

<everyone assembles>

Uh, what are you assembling there?

<Hamillpuff:>"A 'Deconstructing Harry Potter' sign!"

I think I've had a bad influence on them... ;-)
