I hate this time of year

But not because it's cold, even if it is 39 right now...

It's Girl Scout Cookie season... we got four boxes of them.

They had to tell me about it too, didn't they???

If nobody had told me, I'd never known and wouldn't have eaten any of them.

I swear they're trying to make me gain back the weight I lost since I started working with Wes...

Saturday Dogblogging 2.18.05

Yes, it's another new feature here, loosely based on Friday Catblogging, which Laurence Simon oh so elaquently explains here.

"Bear's too big for me to beat up, so I'm gonna take out my frustrations on this toy," said Bruiser.

"He's smarter than I thought. Guess he realizes there's no way he'd ever catch me, much less beat me up!!!" Bear replied.


Petey is a little camera-shy. He'll learn.

That's all for now.

P.S. My brother Jason took the pic of Bear, but since he used my camera I'm stealing it :)

Our newest addition

Everybody say hi to the "I must be losing my mind!!!" box that I just added to the sidebar.

"Hi box!!!"


Justin's Random Thoughts: Always looking for a way to make fun of myself.

Pissing People Off

I'm not the only one that occasionally takes great joy in pissing off people that piss me off, am I???

Anyone???

I say coke, you say soda, they say pop

Under the News: I say pop, you say soda

Well, that's interesting...

UPDATE: St. Louis leans toward soda, Beaumont Coke. I thought I'd be nice and not make you look it up yourself :)

Blogs I frequent

There are other blogs I read, these are just the ones I look at the most.

Blogs4Bauer: a very good "24" blog, and the inspiration for my "24 Report," which somehow draws a comment every week...

IMAO: Unfair. Unbalanced. Unmedicated. And good for a laugh with a conservative twist.

MeMo: I'm really not even sure why I read her. But I do.

mountaineer musings: SarahK does a good 24 recap too. There's also the fake sarahk site (or is it the real one?) by Cadet Happy.

TechBlog: Keeps me fairly up-to-date on tech stuff.

This Blog Is Full Of Crap: The only crap here is the stuff Laurence rants about... and his apparent inability to proofread. He recently started Catcall, a blog about cats on Chron.com and I'm a member of his Dead Pool.

A good reminder of why I'm moving...

I just had a talk with an ex of mine...

I won't mention what she told me, but for some reason no matter how bad something she says bothers me (tonight was REALLY BAD), I'm still attracted to her for some reason.

Welcome to my SERIOUSLY F***** UP life.

It's stuff like this that reminds me why I need a major change of scenery. BAD.

And why Houston won't cut it.

So, uh... St. Louis, here I come I guess...

Changes

I've added HaloScan to handle my comments and trackbacks... so now we can hav3e actual trackback pings... now if i can just figure out how to send an outbound one...

24: 2 P.M.-3 P.M. - Let the Bodies hit the Floor

The 24 ReportComing to you like random thoughts, as written on my notepad... in order:

I wonder if this'll be another Audrey-free writing. I can't stand her at all.


Great, an Emergency Alert System test just before the start. This bodes well. Oh, good, it's over in time :)
Sweet, the graphic violence warning. A strong indication of a good episode. Or is it always there? I don't remember.
2:00:00
Wow... The dude never noticed it was someone else's voice.
Wait, how'd they find the chip? and get it programmed??? I'm sooooo lost.
Watch Martha's aide leak what happened to the press. Watch. It.
THAT WASN'T THE DEAL!!! THEY CAN'T TAKE JACK!!! Then again, this would be boring if they didn't.
2:13:54 - 2:18:13
They should go public with what happened. But they won't.
I'm starting to like Martha, she stands by her convictions. Maybe she's had the PResident's pair all along...
Is this a Saturday? If it is, the terrorists could take out a bunch of mall rats. "Like, OMG, those guys have gas masks." "The one on the left is like soooooo hott!!!"
For some reason, I think Bll wants to beat the crud out of Lynn. That'd be the guy's second time in an hour, after all.
2:24:57 - 2:29:22
First body hits the floor. Security guard.
I'd hate to be Logan right now, having to make that decision. I have no idea what I'd do, but I think he settled on the right decision.
Uh-oh, Jack's in trouble. This should be interesting.
2:37:24 - 2:41:45
Jack's waking up... good.
Kick-pinkytoe (shout-out to sarahk), Jack's doing what he does best, killing a guy when he's in a bad position. Second body hits the floor.
I don't have a hard body count on the people that were down because of the gas. Logan was told between ten and twenty, but Jack mentioned eleven before he walked out, so I'm sticking with that. That makes thirteen bodies on the floor. Way higher than my guess on Blogs4Bauer of five.
Wow. Jack gave that little girl his mask, awesome.
Jack and the girl are both OK.
I've never tried, but isn't it suppossed to be harder to hot-wire a car?
2:49:29 - 2:53:52
Yes, terrorist man, go back. Take us to your leader hehe.
Wow, I can't believe Martha chickened out. Wow. Maybe she doesn't have Logan's pair after all.
Poo, terrorist guy kills himself. That's the fourteenth body hitting the floor there.
3:00:00
LOOSE ENDS:
Another Chloe-light episode. I'm upset. Then again, Spencer's out of the picture now, maybe I can move in :-p

Waah, waah

Reuters: Flap brews over delay of Cheney shooting news

WASHINGTON -- President Bush knew hours after Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot a fellow quail hunter but the White House came under fire today for not making the information public until the next day.
Why all this commotion about something the average person doesn't give a crap about a non-story? I don't get it.

Remember

You don't touch another man's meat.

Ever.

That's gonna be a good show, but probably underappreciated. Just like Arrested Development.

Remember, 24 is tonight.

I almost forgot...

Confessions

I killed a hippie in the 60's.

I also beat the crap out of a muslim rioter in the 70's

Oh, wait... I wasn't born until '85.

Guess it wasn't me after all.

Sorry.

My new toy

Magellan RoadMate 760 North America

I get lost. Very easily.

I figure this is worth the money to keep me from taking a wrong turn in St. Louis and never being heard from again.

24: 1 P.M.-2 P.M.

The 24 ReportSorry for the delay, but Blogger was down when I normally write this. Here ya go :)

Did I ever mention that Skating with Celebrities sucks??? I think I did... although I must admit that the show is starting to grow on me. They're actually pretty good... I think. I know very little about this figure skating stuff.


Spencer is a tool.
1:00:00
Cummings spills his guts with the background info. Prez Logan's screaming at him and stuff, he may be growing a pair after all...
Did I eever mention that Aaron is da man? Because he is, ya know...
Lynn's sister is pretty f***ed up.
Oooh, Sean Connery is gonna reprogram the remote for the canisters... What? That's not Sean Connery? I know, but he looks like him, so there! I WIN!!! *happy dance*
Spencer's coming back. Sweet. I wish I was him. Did I ever mention that I <3 Chloe???
Kim. Is. Coming. Back. This aint good.
1:13:35
That PayPass thing looks like a rip-off of Speedpass. I love my Speedpass.
1:17:53
Oooh, Martha slapped her idiot hubby, he deserved it. Jack should cut HIS eyes out.
And she's right about the Cummings issue, they should be honest.
Chloe's really pissed at Spencer... I guess I should be too. NOBODY messes with my girl Chloe.
Sweet, they got Sean Connery. I had a feeling they'd f*** this one up.
Go fig, the person behind the bed is nobody we know.
1:27:56 - 1:32:22
Doesn't the bike shop guy know better than to trust the terrorists??? What. An. Idiot.
Oooh, Sean Connery's not gonna get any pain meds... we all know what this means...
I can't believe that pussy Lynn, making Jack accept the deal. This is bull poo.
1:38:59 - 1:43:02
Sean may prove to be useful after all...
Oh F***!!! The girl's 15??? What a perv...
Letting Spencer go is the right move... clears the way for Edgar... or Jack... Just think, Jack and Chloe together. It would work.
Cummings? Suicide? Pussy.
1:48:18 - 1:52:42
<Millhouse voice>Ha ha</Millhouse voice> Lynn got his butt kicked. Sweet.
Bike shop guy. Didn't I tell you to not trust them? Are you st00pid???
Sooooo typical of 24, get someone to shoot and kill the important guy. It's always women too. You can't trust 'em.
2:00:00
LOOSE ENDS:
Overall, a good episode. And there was plenty of Chloe time, so it's all good :)

24: delayed

The 24 ReportBlogger will be taken down for maintenance just after 24, so I won't get my post up until tomorrow afternoon probably, with work and all.

Petey

He's our newest member of the family. He's a Sheltie, about 6 months old that we "adopted" so to speak from my mom because he's not good breeding material with just one dropping.

He's a real character, fits in well with our other two.

Second Annual Super Bowl Predictions

Last year I got all my predictions right, let's see how it goes this year... probably not as good, it's gonna be a crapshoot.

For the Game:
Pittsburgh

The Spread:
PIT by 4½

This is a tough one. Really tough. My gut is it's gonna be a field goal though, so I have to go with Seattle here.

Over/Under:
47

Only a half-point off from last year, but these offenses seem to me to be better than last years, so I'm taking the over.


UPDATE: OK, so I got 1 of 3 this year :(. Admittedly, I wasn't very confident in my picks.

Note to self

Lone Star Times » Florida has no clothes

Note to self: NEVER go to Florida... and make sure the hooker isn't a guy.

Not that I've ever hired one. Or will for that matter. There are easier ways to get laid.

Unless you're my brother, who tried to beg me to let him borrow my Visa Check Card so he could buy his girl something that he thinks MIGHT help him finally get in her pants after A YEAR AND A HALF!!!
