…just half of the lot…but still…missing out on margaritas with Kate…not very pleased
Retraction…Not So Happy Wed.
working late…maybe very late…I’m digging in with a half pack of Spirits and two diet RockStars…have mercy
Happy Wednesday
Gout Files: 9/16
Kate and I went to all-you-can-eat-crab night at Looies last night…I’m 90% sure I overdid it. Not only from the standpoint of what is and is not socially acceptable to consume in a public setting, but more from the angle that I have gout, and this crap is horrible for my body.
So right now, my bloodstream is the site of a strange battle between ibuprofen and acids trying their best to crystalize. My toe is about 5000 degrees, but pain-free thus far. Godspeed, brave ibuprofen. Godspeed.
Reptile Files: 9/16
This snake was discovered in China. It has a leg, which is just great. 
Taxation with Representation
This is pretty awesome…
…playing a little solitaire…listening to a little drivel. All in all, pretty good day at work. With Obama’s popularity down to 45% and this shit going down on the House floor, we might not bankrupt ourselves after all. Special shout out the Representative watching the baseball game on the left. Nice work on the MLB.com package.
Dominick Dunne, Deceased
Dominick Dunne passed away today. He was the host of an obscure show that often followed Forensic Files. He will be sorely missed by some, I imagine. I will miss his funny glasses.
Microsoft Faux Pas
This is pretty ridiculous…and funny. Apparently the Polish hate black people. Microsoft posted this on the English site…
…and this bad boy on their Polish site:
They must not have Photoshop over at the Microsoft campus. I could see how making that little swap-er-oo could be difficult using MS Paint. They could at very least have used the spray paint tool to lighten up the dude’s hand…just a suggestion.
Stereotype…Strengthened!
Our horribly inept mailman (same guy who crammed my RAM upgrade under our doormat) mistook Grand Ave for 3rd. Ave and dropped off a copy of a video game magazine in our mailbox. For what it is worth, it is no Nintendo Power. The only real amusing thing was the advertisements, especially the full-page job across from the contents page…
Seems sort of presumptuous on the advertisors behalf…
I’m Not Mad, I’m Just Disapointed.
This tattoo is in memory of the tattoo-ee’s deceased grandmother.
Just a hunch, but I would guess that she would not approve of either tattoos or video games, let alone video game/memorial tattoos.
