It’s amazing. I do not think I have ever been able to get a drink from the water cooler without replacing the bottle first. As near as I can tell, if I did not stop by the break room on at least a daily basis, everyone on the floor would die of thirst because nobody else has mastered the bottle-changing technology.
My God… what if I go on vacation?!?

I suppose whether you think this game explores Samus’ ancestry or the evil that seems to ooze from every poor of the Metroid universe is going to depend entirely upon how you feel about Sheriff Joe Arpio and Arizona’s immigration policies.
I remember back in school hearing about how one enterprising sheriff was singly-handedly revolutionizing correctional facilities. With his pink uniforms, Tent City and the idea that prison wasn’t supposed to be easy, he was held up as a sign of things to come. He’s certainly built a career on being tough on crime… but now the focus is on illegal immigration. Is he doing the job he was put there to do or is it another case of ‘absolute power corrupts absolutely’? Where do you stand on immigration, legal or otherwise? What about Amnesty?

Hmmm… outdated song reference, specific genre… yep, I’m narrow-casting again, but it’ll make Laurie giggle, and that’s what counts!

So another oil rig explodes in the Gulf. Yay! To be fair, I’m sure BP had nothing to do with it… mostly. 
At least the rig wasn’t producing at the time. Hopefully, this means no additional leaking, but maybe the oil industry should stop using those explosive bolts during construction…
I’m just saying…
UPDATE: Okay… apparently the rig *was* producing, and there *is* a slick, but probably very containable…

That background… even with reduced colors… not at all worth it… tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap….
Larry actually announced his intended retirement some time ago, but I was reminded of it yesterday whilst listening to the radio, and as always, an image popped in to my head which could only be exercised via doodling. I’ll probably get in trouble as someone will take this as a swipe against all old people as opposed to simply a Larry King gag, but that’s life, I suppose.

Full disclosure, I altered Glenn Beck’s December 2006 comment on CNN about looking at hot, naked chicks to smelling clean ones… I suspect you figured that out for yourself though. So… Glenn marches on Washington, and the world doesn’t care… anyone surprised? Actually, the most disappointing thing is that Stewart and Colbert are on vacation, so no Beck riffs on Monday night. That’s a tragedy!
I suspect this product will sell well, though. I know that it’s the first thing *I* think of when I see Glenn Beck.
I feel like I’m always conservative bashing these days which is bad because, in theory, I am one, but ‘Conservative’ doesn’t seem to mean what it’s supposed to, anymore. Fear and Hatred are neither inspiring nor a good foundation for building a platform. Time for you guys to step out of the limelight and make room for some people that aren’t… uhm… I believe ‘insane’ is the word?

So, the visiting nephew is quite a trip. It’s been great having him around, but where on earth do four-year-olds get all of their energy?!? I mean it’s an amazing sight to behold because this kid just never stops from the time he gets out of bed until the magical switch is thrown in the evening and he collapses immediately in to slumber! I should be so lucky to have one-tenth of his energy!
Brittany brought home a copy of Chutes and Ladders last night, and that was a big hit.
Laurie brought home Italian Beef sammiches from The Wise guys, and that was and even bigger hit!

True story. I have to admit though, skunks really are beautiful animals. However, they are overabundant here in Southeastern Michigan, so I wouldn’t mind seeing (or at least smelling) a few less of them!
The nephew visit is going well. We decided to play Uno last night. He’d never played it with real cards before… only on the computer. The only problem was due the ‘Heart of the Cards’ being black, bitter and broken, we only played one hand… and it took two freakin’ hours!!! No one could manage to get rid of their cards. We had to reshuffle the discard pile SIX times! That being said, we all had fun and he conked out for the evening as soon as we were done. Today, it’s the hands-on museum. Much fun shall be had by all.

Sean is actually a paid intern, so this sort of thing is all par for the course… just a little more rapid than expected.
We were back in Indiana this week providing photography support for a reunion which was interesting. The tabletpc decided to go in to failure mode, so I had to wait until I got back to The People’s Republic to finish this, but we did manage to bring something back from Indiana with us. We have one of my nephews for the week!!! A four-year-old uber-kinder! It should prove entertaining…
…I just have to remember how to entertain a four-year-old…
…Good gravy, I’m getting old!

Kind of reminds me of Arsenic and Old Lace. [Editor's Note: We again apologize for Dave's predilection for really old movie references. In his defense who can resist Cary Grant movies during his early, manic phase?]
This is day four of my vacation, and I absolutely refuse to go to work today. I shall have one day of vacation that doesn’t involve work…
…well… maybe a few performace reviews…
