A fair number of people at work (both the old company and the new one) had no idea what a turducken was. Culinary overload, people. FedUP delivered it on Wednesday, so it’ll sit in the freezer until Christmas. I got this one for 25% off, as well, which basically meant that the [...]

“Snakes on a Plane” was 7 pounds of cheese in a 5 pound sack. But as the poster says, some things don’t have to make sense, and are better if they don’t.
Went over to Steve’s on Wednesday night. Had turkey burgers and heard all about the drama that’s going on in Steve’s younger [...]

This mouse has taken “scenery chewing” to a new level.
Trivia:  We were in the lead when I left, thanks to some lucky guessing.  Trevor is trying to arrange a trivia tournament with a bunch of teams in November, but I don’t know if that’ll work out.
Back to work on Tuesday. No horrible crises happened, [...]

One of my neighbors to the north has a small gazebo. Of course, this reminded me of the tale of Eric and the gazebo. But basically, not a whole lot happened on Monday. Did final post-party cleanup, got the car’s emissions checked, renewed the car’s registration, and finished reading Singularity Sky. It [...]

The party on Sunday went fairly well. The only bad spot was that Teh Nacho couldn’t attend, as his wife was sick. Oh well. We had a huge spread of guacamole and chips, fruit salad, Hearty Peasant Fare, regular salad, several kinds of wine, and eclairs.
We also had Rock Band 2, which [...]

The problem is that Saturday was uneventful. Grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning, and stuff like that. OK, the bank where I was keeping about half of my money got Borged by PNC, which might be Interesting. But that’s it. I guess there’s a Plan(tm) to try and move the November Denver TRASH [...]

The big excitement on Friday was going with Juan, his wife, his mother, his stepdad, Mike, and Zach to a Peruvian restaurant in Phoenix. We ate roast chicken, potato appetizers, shrimp soup, and various other things.
No guinea pig though. All the USA and Mexico meat wholesalers that Juan’s talked to don’t carry cui. [...]

Okay, the picture is silly, but what the heck.
Thanks to some policy about vacation time and lucky coincidences, I have a 4-day weekend.  Yay!  I’ll be . . . um, not doing a lot.  Besides the get-together on Sunday where a bunch of friends are coming over, I’ll cook, we’ll eat and drink, and see [...]

I went to give blood on Wednesday morning. It wasn’t really a problem, but the person who did my initial screen where they take some blood from a finger and test it for iron was unskilled or something. The finger she poked hurt more than any other part of the procedure, and it [...]

OK, I could afford this, but it still feels a bit frivolous. Oh well, the economy would collapse even faster if people weren’t buying things. The interface in the sequel is improved, the songs are good, the opening video is even dumber than the opening video in the first game, and they haven’t [...]
