XM Radio
I’ve been introduced to the world of satellite radio this past week. I got a deal on an XM receiver thanks to someone who knew someone who was related to someone who had helped out that Nigerian prin

Please don't use a blacklight in our room
When you see the photos below, you assume that the hotel you’re booking online might be a decent place for a trip to Disney if you’re not staying in the park’s campus hotels. But just like a lifelong

Do you REALLY want to know who blew that loud fart?
I hesitate to return to bathroom observations but I feel obligated too, since we all visit this area several times a day at work. This isn’t a rant about anything but rather a precautionary measure a

A tsunami in my cube
I’m reminded of the line the annoying office secretary in Office Space would always repeat when someone was in a bad mood. Her catch-all phrase was “Looks like someone’s got a case of the Mond

Old People - Helpless Victims or Shrewd Manipulators?
My sense of humor scares me sometimes. Many times it branches into the dark, twisted sort of comedy and last night it was more than evident. To me, quite possibly the funniest scene the Sopranos has

A moral dilemma
As a contractor, I keep my resume online since it’s prudent to keep all your options open. I pick and choose whom I want to interview with and am fortunate that currently I can be very choosy (in rega

Irresponsible books
Today I dip my toe into a religious subject, but only because it affects lives outside of religion. The Purpose Driven Life, written by Rick Warren, got a second life when Ashley Smith suppose

Disjointed Wednesday thoughts
On any given day on any major highway in any major city you will see random items that have fallen from vehicles including ladders, mattresses, chairs and other assorted things not properly fastened o

Driving woes
Since my car is pretty small and low to the ground, I can really become lost in a sea of SUVs and pickup trucks and tractor trailers on the highway. One thing I’ve never liked is being behind a vehic

Casinos
As I’ve been searching for airfare for my first trip ever to Vegas in September, it got me thinking about gambling and the proliferation of casinos in the past 15 years. Even as recent as the early 1

Scattered, smothered and covered thoughts for Friday
Ahhh, it’s good to be a non-churchgoing Christian (or a non-Christian, for that matter) in the south. I love days like this when everyone is either at church or gone for the Easter holiday. Getting

Always proofread your work
Yes, I might be nitpicking but I am a firm believer in limiting your mistakes and errors in your job, which is why I’m in Quality Assurance. When the team you are marketing is on the brink of making

Beware of "Free"
I finally had to do it. I have put up with the vastly inferior coffee they serve here at work because it’s free but I had to put an end to me drinking it. Being a black-coffee-only drinker, you can

Would you like falafel with your Double Quarter Pounder?
I came across an interesting article in the New York Times yesterday that I feel compelled to comment on. The story was abou

Will it be a Miraculous Marriage or an Unholy Alliance?
I have to give credit to Gino for alerting me to a new Ben & Jerry’s flavor that will either be unbelievably yummy or taste like crumbled graham crackers stuck in someone’s underwear after a night of

Hockey craziness, part 3
Sorry for the lack of a new topic today. Today has been insane but I did want to pass along another crazy box score from last Friday’s Gladiators game I worked. I actually didn’t have much work to d

Scam or Convenience?
Today has been a busy day but it winds up being good that I didn’t write this until after lunch. Our boss took us to a new restaurant that he really had enjoyed before. It’s a converted gas station

"I can't believe you sent (Husband's Name) a joke like that"
I don’t believe I have an adversarial relationship with any significant other of the friends I keep in contact with. But in this day and age where everyone has an email address, I do have one pet pee

Handicapped parking frauds and questionable DVD release policies
Having little faith in most of humanity, I always question the validity of most people’s handicapped stickers/decals. If they have a handicapped symbol on their license plate, I consider it a legit e

Amusing, but dangerous
While what I’m about to describe is a very funny visual, I am very worried about the future consequences of said person. The first time I saw it I was amused. An old lady, on her motorized cart, was

Opening Day
Opening Day. Is there ever a more effective sign that spring is here than the first day of baseball? Sure, technically the season started last night but I don’t consider that a true Opening Day. In
