I caused a flood

Posted in General at 2:36 pm

So Becky Miller and I were at Round Table Pizza talking about…something I don’t remember. Anyway, she says “God is going to strike you with lightning for that”. So of course, I, thinking I’m incredibly funny, look up at the ceiling, shake my fist at it and say “Bring it on, little man!”

So, no lightning. But, it was raining kind of hard when we left. I needed things from the grocery store so I drove there. Stil raining pretty hard. Get back in car. Still raining, but nothing I’ve never seen before. I start leaving the parking lot, and realize I’m driving through four to six inches of water. We get up on 45th and water is up to curb. At one point a car drove by and splashed so much water on the windshield I couldn’t see anything.

So Becky finally asks “Why is this happening?” And then we remembered my little “bring it on” comment. So yeah…it’s all my fault. ;-)

“I like touching you, Matt” —Gen Sofie

“Ron, I know it sounds harsh, but God does not want her to live.” —Brian Fantana, Anchorman (movie)

Most everyone who has inherited a love of the sea feels that the clipper bow is a befitting finial to a sailing vessel, as a beautiful head of hair is to a woman. Perhaps neither the long hair nor the bowsprit is necessary, but when either is removed there is a loss of character that is hard to replace. —L. Francis Herreshoff

and from bash.org we have a golden one:

DragonflyBlade21: A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you’re a great guy, but I don’t like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we’re not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we’re going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn’t work out, we’ll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.

Dinner

Posted in General at 11:19 pm

I had a garden burger with bacon for dinner. Yee-haw. I also tried it with bleu cheese. I think I should have stuck with swiss or cheddar, though. Maybe bleu would be better on a beef burger.

Anyway…yeah. Garden burger with bacon.

I don’t even know where to start. This is why I should not be allowed to interact with other human beings.

Lyrics

Posted in General at 8:15 pm

“Where have all the good men gone, and where are all the gods?”

I have that song lyric stuck in my head. It’s from a totally chick song, but I still think it sounds cool. The song: Holding Out For a Hero—Bonnie Tyler

If I had any lingering doubts that I’m an idiot, they have now been removed.

Tone Generator

Posted in General at 6:24 pm

I was playing with a tone generator on my latop. I thought my hearing was really bad, but then I realized that the little tiny speakers on this laptop probably don’t span the range of human hearing. I plugged in my big speakers and it seems my hearing is alright, but this tone generator is behaving oddly at high frequencies…there is no way I’m hearing 50,000 hertz. I actually suspect that the stereo is doing something funny with the signal. Any EE folks care to explain?

For the record, the speakers on a 12-inch Powerbook G4 seem to be good from about 100Hz up to 18000Hz. Could be my hearing cutting out at 18000Hz, too–I’m not sure yet.

It’s also worth noting that I find very high pitched sounds incredibly annoying–at least there’s something to look forward to with getting old. :-) I wonder if I’ll ever reach a point where I can’t hear small children screaming? I can only dream…

Random Thoughts

Posted in General at 12:54 am

Seems like I haven’t had a post for a while. Here are some random thoughts that seem to be occupying my mind a lot lately.

My social skills in general aren’t that great. I’m particularly bad at dealing with girls.

Some people just need to die. Most of these people are either world leaders or celebrities.

Planting lots more corn seems like a good idea.

I hate reading the news. The media sucks. Bias aside, the depth of reporting these days is far too shallow.

I’m way too lazy.

I’m surrounded by idiots.

I don’t read enough anymore.

…I need a drink.
