Kevin Costner Vows to Fight Oil Spill

I hear he's going to use old copies of Robin Hood to help sop up some of the mess....

Unromanticity

Time looks at whether or not marriage statistics are accurate.

Yeah, I know. This isn't even remotely tech related. I just wanted to blog about it because of "unromanticity". Heh.

Brilliant

Still Broke

The network technicians still haven't managed to fix the servers that went down when the UPS was replaced. We're still flooded with calls. Don't know how much I'm going to get done today. I ended up taking 167 calls yesterday myself (not certain how many my co-worker took - she was on a project most of the day).

Today's not looking much better.

Lone Wolf

On my own today at the office and I'm busier than a one-armed paper hanger.

The network technicians had to replace a UPS last night and apparently botched the job. Nothing is working this-morning and everyone is calling to let me know.

Problably light blogging today.

I Always Liked Kiwis

New Zealand women are regularly getting drunk and cruising around in packs looking for men to have sex with.

So, for all you single geeks out there, they also need computer programmers and network techs. Just sayin', that's all.

Spikey Blood

Had a little issue yesterday that kept me home on the couch. My blood pressure spiked up to 176/129. It was high all day Sunday, but it really went up Monday morning about 3:00am, prompting me from a deep sleep with a horrid headache.

I was so lethargic and unable to think that it was all I could do to concentrate on TV as I lay on the couch. I actually found myself watching things I wouldn't in my right mind.

So, the Mrs. made me go to the doctor. Deciding that my current blood pressure medication just wasn't doing the job, they decided to put me on some beta blockers as well. So far, so good. My BP is back down to pre-spike levels (still high), but better.

Team Emma

I give one of my wife's friends a real hard time. She is pretty hot for Taylor Lautner (Yeah, she's totally Team Jacob). I keep reminding her that not only was he Shark Boy, she's old enough to be his mother.

Well, I guess I should hang my head in shame as well. Emma Watson just turned 20.

Weekend Stuff

Going to see Iron Man 2 this weekend? Nah, me neither. I hate crowded theaters and will wait a couple of weeks for the crowds to die down.

What I am doing this weekend is working on my mid-terms. The family and I are also going with some friends up to the cabins. The boy and I plan on going fishing while there, and we'll do a cook-out. Past that, I plan on being lazy.

Awesome-sauce

Ordinarily I don't care much for birds, but I'd make an exception for this one.

Speaking of Blondes in Convertibles...

Pretty Women Are Bad for the Heart

That's OK. We'll die happy.

Hell of a Shot

British sniper takes out not one, but two Taliban soldiers from 8120 feet.

Wow. That man's cajones are so big, they had to take a picture of him laying down.
I used to enjoy long distance shooting with black-powerder cartridge rifles, but I don't know if I ever shot farther than 700 yards.

If Ron Howard's in, So Am I

Usually, I'm not a big fan of Stephen King movies. I (generally) like his books. I absolutely loved the Dark Tower series. But usually his books don't translate well to film.

Looks as if Roland and company will be going to celluloid. Ron Howard will be directing. That means it'll be worth seeing.

I'm really excited and looking forward to this.

Femtroopers (and other funny Star Wars stuff)

Long time, no see.

My favorite :)

No More Lamp?

Paramount passes on Anchorman 2

That's a shame. It's one of the few Will Ferrel movies I actually enjoyed. Maybe another studio will pick it up.

Update: My bad, didn't read all the way down. Can't be moved to another studio. Suck.

That's a big, damn rabbit.
