I am going to Chicago this weekend for my Christmas present, have no idea what we are doing except maybe seeing a concert or something. I’ve avoided all media referring to anythign happening this weekend in Chicago.

When I was there for a training, I visited the Shedd Aquarium and the Field Museum. I really enjoyed the aquarium. I got to pet rays! The Field Museum was kind of depressing while still being fascinating. There are an awful lot of dead animals and people there. I got to see some extinct animals, or at least the remains of them.

Happy Birthday Beethoven. You don’t look a day over 230.

So my friend had an extra ticket for two showings at Cineopolis last night.

It was teh awesome. Thank you, JJ Abrams for not pissing on my childhood the way George Lucas did with the last three movies.

Still seeing it on Saturday.

Joyous Winter Solstice, everybody.

Just had a thought. Is it possible that George got confused between “having” and “happening”?

But that doesn’t explain “printering”.

“Printering” wasn’t George. That one came from someone else’s ticket that they posted in the old War Stories forum.

I find it disproportionately amusing that the people washing the windows of the building opposite me are tying ropes to the window washing platform and abseiling down the building.
When they’ve finished one run down they move the platform & abseil down again.

I know why they are doing it*, but it still really amuses me.

* It’s because it’s a lot quicker abseiling - they have a far wider range of movement and can therefore cover a lot more of the building with each run down.

There are three kinds of people in the world:

  1. People who think that there is “one great secret” to cooking
  2. People who know that there isn’t because good cooking is more complicated than that
  3. People who don’t cook

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Or Festivus, or Kwanza, or sit in my room in the dark being offended bah humbug day or whatever.

Happy predrinksmass! May your port be ruby and your sherry make you feel just that little bit too comfortable so that it’s a real effort to answer the phone when your mother-in-law inevitably calls.

What was I doing 10 hours ago that I missed a 4.2 earthquake?

So, will Ethan Couch and his mother be able to whine and spend their way out of this one?

People signing a petition to free a man from prison over a biased documentary forces me to question the world we live in.

Better than burning down the city, protesting on the Senate floor, and interrupting new broadcasts for a statement that had no relation to the truth in any way shape or form and was never corroborated by any other witness.

I’ve been doubting humanity for ages. We’re far more likely to raise hell for stupid things than important ones.

Wow, Al Roker has really lost weight.

Jeff Foxworthy had a joke several years ago about seeing a woman with a particular “breast configuration” that made her look like she was carrying watermelons. I can now attest that he was not exaggerating after having seen something very close to that.

Well, it looks like the first class I will be teaching will not be a simple software lab class after all. I will be teaching the Windows Server class. 0_0

My sister-in-law’s dog must have some weird fetish or something. I gave her fresh water, and she immediately got up and went to drink from the toilet.
