Today
TODAY I Did the following:
  • I woke up late
  • I went down stairs and let the dogs out
  • then I read
  • I ate my lunch
  • then I biked to work
  • I worked and researched me some WDS
  • then I biked home
  • I called some friends
  • I called my Mom
  • While on the phone with my Mom I saw a man staring at something on the street
  • It was a rat
  • I then saw a tabby walking towards the rat
  • The rat did not run away then the tabby smelled the rat
  • The tabby backed away from the rat
  • Then a black cat stalked the rat
  • The black cat slowly moved away from the rat
  • Did I mention that a housemate was throwing a dinner party?
  • The rat went around the corner and I lost sight of it
  • It snuck into the backyard
  • The housemate had her dog attack the rat
  • The rat ignored the dog the same as it ignored the cats and the party guests
  • That was very good for the dog I hope as I like Black Jack
  • I trapped the rat underneath a garbage can
  • THIS RAT SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME (because it did not run away)
  • Another housemate called Pest Control
  • I then bought plane tickets to Las Vegas for a friend's wedding
  • 2 hours later I went to a bar, pest control had not shown up
  • I drank some beer, good beer
  • Now, many hours later, the trash can is still upside down and I am afraid that my housemates dog may have the PLAGUE.
  • Is the rat still in the trash can? I'm afraid to look.
  • Then I watched a DVR'ed ep of The Middleman
  • Now I am writing this list

Questions
Say you find yourself alone in a forest.

You have woken up, still in a drunken haze, with spotty memories from the night before. All you have is what you are wearing, black jeans, black t-shirt, a weird necklace and a piece of wood clutched tightly in your hands. You remember that you liked that bottle of scotch way too much.

Do you jab the wood into your chest thus ending the nothingness, or wave the wand and wish yourself home, or lift yourself up from the clammy dank earth, zip up your pants and after checking your iPhone, start the long walk home?

So say you are sitting alone, waiting in terminal 12 waiting for your flight to Denver, when a Spider Monkey walks up to and says "Do you know the Speed of Sound at an altitude of 800 meters on Mars?"

  • 7/23/2008: 280.2 miles on 9.64 gallons = 29.07 MPG
  • 7/29/2008: 268.4 miles on 9.670 gallons = 27.76 MPG
  • No date: 283.1 miles on 9.563 gallons = 29.60 MPG*
