We are in the process of switching out outlets on our workstations in our Help Desk area so that everyone is on the UPS-y'know so when, we have a power outage they can still log into Facebook.

And by "we" I mean "me and two electricians".

Fuck, at the rate this is going I'm going to be home around midnight.

Did the people who "reboot" movies ever watch the original movies? Having seen now the trailers for two recreated movies that I love, I really wonder if they've ever seen the originals.

First up, is Jackie Chan Pisses on Pat Morita's Grave followed by No, I've Never Read a Greek Myth, Why? (note, yes I know the original also did not follow the actually Perseus story but that's not the point).

That things like diseases and childbirth are dangerous.

You want to go the mid-wife route? That's fine. You wan't to do this? Then I really hope nothing goes wrong. Y'know, like you and the baby both dying.

Today is the only day this week that I will have worked less than 9 hours.

Hopefully next week is better.

Fuck this.

Why am I still at the office for a bunch of rich people who won't even know my name?

First, going to the game tonight to see our future QB in action. Tickets were $10 a piece, so I couldn't pass them up.

Second, I think they are asking too much.

So, District 9 was just as awesome as everyone said it was.

Maybe the best movie I've seen all year-and if it wasn't for the exploding bodies, I would say it was Oscar worthy (it's Oscar worthy, but the exploding bodies limit the chances of that because of the stodgy voters).

...that if you don't want to get shot by LEOs, don't shoot at them first.

For God's sake, people, actions have consequences. And cops are trained to shoot when shot at--because it's an escalation of violence theory.

"I don't respect no police anyway". Yep, and I'm guessing that's why your friend got shot, jackass.

Penn & Teller's Bullshit

I'm not really surprised by the findings.

"Mental attitude " about sums up how I feel about this

And with the power of the internet, why do I feel like dowsers are looking at maps to assist in committing fraud? Well, fraud might be a strong word, unless they are getting cash for their services.

And why the hell was this story in the actual news section and not, let's say, in the Lifestyles section of the paper? Because it's not news.

Really they don't. Recently a bill was passed that would allow concealed fireams into National Parks. I don't see the problem with it--the people who have concealed carry permits and carry are rarely the people who randomly shoot people.

But here's my problem--people say that guns cause violence. They don't. What causes violence is that we are super smart apes that like hitting stuff. I guarantee that if ALL weapons magically vanished that within a day some one would grab a fallen branch and hit someone else with it.

Saying guns cause violence, for me at least, is much like saying that training in martial arts causes violence.

...Mrs. Hasslebeck.

Especially one who doesn't have time to bleed.

I may be at work, but at least I'm avoiding the noise of Blackhawks overhead.

And what was up with the Blackhawk sitting in the field in my complex last night?
