All Quiet on the Eastern Coast

It seems that everyone is currently busy. I think that the amount of webloggering being done by people I know has decreased significantly. I will now surmise why.

• That Guy: He has been sucked into a world without light, without hope and without the deliciousness that is the B. His life is now an attempt to maintain his identity while having all of his creative energies drained by an unmerciful employer. He is alone. He is afraid. He does not realize that writing about shit he may or may not have done is a way to escape.
  
• BastardFace: Something about traveling far far away, to someplace that does not have the internet or even electricity.
  
• Maletas: I think that he is actually play guidewars right this moment. If he does take time out from his fantasy life and happens to read this, he should give me a linen because I still haven't found one.
  
• Me: Unfortunately, I would say that my problem has been work. I have been working a lot this week and last. I think that I will be taking things a little bit easier next week... maybe actually go home before 7!

Also, it is summer and a lot of us are outside flogging, playing softball and other such things. There is little reason to sit in front of a computer right now.

In celebration of my 85th post!

Apparently I write a lot of crap. Before I start complaining I would like to point out that someone you most likely know has started writing crap. I can only assume that it (read 'the crap that he will write') will be as asinine as he (read 'the crappy writer') is. If you can want an example of crappy writing here you go.

Alright, so it seems that I have a lot of work to do in the next couple of days. There is the plugfest that I am looking forward to as much as getting kicked in the mouth, the document that Al passed on to me before he left (to which shit keeps getting added everytime I think its done), documents to review, employees to acquire and train, equipment to buy, a budget to write (with little information), two conference calls to sit in on (11pm and 9pm), figure out the work load we will be able to handle, e&c, e&c. The worst thing is that much of this stuff 'needs' to get done this week!

Oh, and this week will probably only be 4 days long as it is Heidi's birthday on Friday and she, Jared and I are going hiking next weekend. I really wish I had Al's willingness to work long hours and never go home... wait, that's not right. Speaking of Al, we should all send our outrage to him about his most recent post.

P.S. In case you were wondering about the British royal family check out their website.
P.P.S. San Diego was fun but Hilton Hotels are crappy... they do not include anything (no breakfast, no gym, no parking...)

Not Writing

I am not writing much this week. Partly because I am getting dumped with work and partly because I am not spending my nights alone in a hotel room with nothing to do put write posts. Instead my wife and I have been drinking beer and reading Harry Potter #6.

I apologize to that Bastard Turk for not being in NH and, therefore, not being able to give him a proper send off. If I am reading my notes correctly, and I like to believe I am, then I may be going to Tokyo or Osaka next February. Perhaps, I will be able to bother him there instead. We shall see.

Feel free to harass.

Writing for writing's sake

I have not written anything in a while so I shall. I guess I have not had anyone mock me in a while (with the possible exception of Mrs. Mucus and Captain Caveman).

This Friday the wife and I leave to spend a week in San Diego. I have meetings four days of the trip but I will be spending three days and several nights living it up. Possible excursions include: the Zoo, Sea World (across the street from the hotel!), the beach and possibly a bar or two. If you have any suggestions on place to go let me know.

After I get back from San Diego I have to plan a plugfest, which starts Monday. Goodbye weekend. After plugfest it looks like it will be backpacking time! A perfect response to sitting on my ass for a week.

P.S. I really wish they had internet on the plane, because then I could play GW! I image the lag would be terrible.

You and your grammar

This weekend was relaxing. I went kayaking, played Guild Wars, played disc golf and went out to the Brickhouse after a delicious BBQ. It is beddar with cheddar. I did not really want to come back to work today, but here I am! Sigh. I really do not think I have anything new or exciting to add here today but I will make sure to update if something does come up.

Flying spaghetti Monster

You may recall me complaining about this. Well I was shown another example of Intelligent Design. As my wife says, "Thinking about insignificant you are really allows you to put things in perspective."* If something put you here with some design, then that something is to blame for all your faults, or, you are only answerable to that something. Option one allows you to not take responsibility for your actions and option two allows you to do some fucked up things in the name of something (i.e. the end justifying the means). Go weekend! Woooo.

*This is not a direct quotation and it may not represent the views of my wife. Also my wife does not have a total perspective vortex.

Long weekend ahead!

So we have a long weekend coming up and the weather is supposed to be nice. I guess this means that we will be doing lots of stuff. Right now I kind of just want to hang out at home, perhaps pick up Guild Wars, perhaps read, perhaps have a few drinks. But I know that there will be hiking, BBQing, flogging and the like. Perhaps, I will feel more energized tomorrow.

Also, I think my brain may already have gone on vacation. I am currently sitting here trying not to get any work done. I know that everyone here will be taking off as soon as they can... probably right after lunch. Blah.
