I had a fortune cookie today that said that I’m known for being straightforward and honest.

How the hell is that even a fortune? c’mon people.

Birthday today. Happy Birthday Ryan!

He is once again 4 years older than I am, for the next 8 months or so.

And this year he and his wife are having a kid that I can corrupt help raise. Good times ahead for my bro.

because I’m sure you all want something to post on your dartboards, here’s the original picture.

I think my favorite part of this is the cat’s obvious curiosity and my look of knowing disapproval.

it wasn’t doing a whole lot for the site, and after the third poll I just didn’t care any longer. It was also responsible for something like 1742 errors when google crawled the page.

so good bye polls.

that’s pretty much it.

note to self: write shorter chapters.

note to self: get more pens, you may run out of ink while editing these long chapters. see above.

note to self: you’re hilarious, but lines like “it always helps when alcohol is involved to take care of important things clearly and in depth before delving into the liquid itself. a drunken exploration helps no one” will probably not make it to final draft.

Seriously, spent all afternoon editing this. I haven’t gotten on the computer and typed in the changes yet, that’s either tomorrow’s or wednesday’s job. I’ll probably run through it about 4 or 5 more times before the 31st when I send it off to the committee head.

The easter bunny hates you.

I held off this long (4 years) from getting text messaging added to my cell phone plan. that’s how long it took me to get to a month where I actually had the text charge come over $5. It was at $6.80 for 34 texts (they raised the price from 15 cents to 20 cents…jerks), so I figured it’s time to get that on a plan so I’m good at 500.

So feel free to text me. I can take it.

Celebrate by wearing purple and/or drinking purple beer.

what’s inside the cubes?

The clues they give are:
Inside every cube there is something…
This thing has a precise sense while is closed in the cube
If you open the cube the meaning of this thing is irreparably lost
The only way to take possession of this meaning is to be inside the cube…

On the FAQS page, he says that the cube is the material representation of human curiosity. That’s one way of looking at it, I guess…but that adds a lot more that ruins the riddle of the boxes.

What’s in the cube?
Mystery. Not in the sense of “it’s a mystery what’s in the box”, but in the sense that that is what is ACTUALLY INSIDE THE BOX. Mystery. If you open the box, the mystery of what’s truly inside is gone.

So if you open the box, there won’t be that sense of mystery.

I’m glad we’ve had this conversation.

safe to say I won’t be buying one of the cubes. I’ve got enough mystery trying to figure out why my cat is so crazy.

tacos with homemade tortillas.

*edit* note to self: next time with the tortillas, use less water more flour. it’ll make it easier to roll out, won’t be as sticky.

methinks it’s time to grow it out again.

I could REALLY go for a beer right now. But only a week and a day left before lent is over.

was a pretty good flick. THe acting was really good.

However, the doctor guy, that actor, he was in Serenity too. He’s gotta stop taking roles that get him killed in the movies.
