This is my Journey, but you can watch.
I’m doing laundry at 1AM wearing one sandal with a plastic samurai sword down the back of my shirt while eating an Apple Jacks cereal straw.
I’m pretty sure I’m not crazy, but I’m beginning to think I’m not quite right either.
If you’re curious, it’s my left sandal.
Just saw it.
I can finally let go of those horrible memories from the Ang Lee/Eric Bana version of the Hulk from 2003. That was one sad day in June - 5 years ago! Here is the blog post I made after getting home from the movie (my second post ever!)
Anyway. Good movie. Go see it.
I killed a few soldiers tonight.
It was a terrible battle.
I was victorious.
Boo-Yah.
While in line at the gas station I overheard this conversation between The Crazy Looking Guy standing in front of me and the woman standing behind me. Evidently they knew each other. I think I must have been in a grumpy mood, because it really annoyed me.
Crazy Looking Guy: “Hey, how are you??”
Woman: “Good. How are you?”
Crazy Looking Guy: “Good. How’s your mom doing?”
Woman: “She’s good. She lives just down the street from here now?”
The Crazy Looking Guy responded in a somewhat disgusted tone: “Yeah, I know, I talk to her ALL the time.”
I wanted to jump in and ask “Why the hell are you asking how she’s doing then!!??”, but I think that might have been considered rude.
She replied with a much more appropriate “Oh, OK.”
Then The Crazy Looking Guy paid for his Red Bull and Beef Jerky and headed for the exit. As he opened the door he turned back and hollered to the woman behind me “Make sure and tell your mom I said ‘HI’!”
Tell her yourself dammit, and comb your hair too!
I know small talk can be awkward sometimes, but I really think somebody needs to smack the crazy out of this guy.
Like I said, I think I was in a grumpy mood.
For anyone who doesn’t already know, here is the definition of a wet willy, according to wikipedia:
Wet willy: Usually performed on a sleeping or otherwise unsuspecting person, the perpetrator of a wet willy wets his or her finger with saliva and inserts it into the ear of the victim. While not typically resulting in physical harm (although ear infection might occur), the moist sensation can be extremely unpleasant.
Charlie snuck up behind me while I was sitting at the computer and gave me a wet willy.
I hate wet willies.
I yelled in at Lori, “That is one trick I REALLY wish you hadn’t taught him!”
She replied, “I didn’t teach him that!”
Which sparked a “yes, you DID!”, “NO, I DID NOT!” bickerfest.
After a few minutes of this, Charlie decided to speak up.
“Uncle Scott taught me that. He said Charlie, do this with your finger and stick it in your Dad’s ear.”
Grrrr, Uncle Scott is in trouble.
I found this little gem on the nightstand in a NON-SMOKING room in a Wisconsin hotel a few months ago. I was glad to see that they were responsible enough to let everyone know that there was “NO SMOKING” in this room!
After taking a little closer look, I flipped it over and realized that their little “NO SMOKING” sign is actually glued on to the bottom of an ashtray. They are obviously very committed to keeping the room smoke free.
One of my biggest issues with blogging is that the posts that you write are really only seen for a week or two, then they fade into obscurity. Sure, some of the content is found by people through search engines, but for the most part they are only seen if someone goes looking for them. I don’t see many people read any further than the front page, which is about 10 posts.
That’s why I kinda like this WordPress plugin I ran across. It brings up some of those old posts back as either random posts at the end of a current post, or as a list of posts that are considered to be of related content.
We’ll see how well it works, but for anyone else interested in it, here are the details.
The plugin is: WordPress 2.3 Related Posts
Download it from Wordpress.org
Or you can visit the site of the guy that wrote it: Fairyfish.net
Click here for the direct download from Wordpress.
Here are the installation instructions:
1. Upload the WP23RP folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Place <?php wp23_related_posts(); ?> in your templates
4. Navigate to Manage Panel > Option > WP23 Related Posts to configure plugin output.
I installed mine onto my K2 theme, so I had to insert the <?php wp23_related_posts(); ?> into the file named “theloop.php” located in the K2 directory under the themes directory. I inserted the code onto line 140 just after this line:
<?php the_content(sprintf(__(’Continue reading \’%s\”, ‘k2_domain’), the_title(”, ”, false))); ?>
After that, just login to your control panel and play with the WP23 Related Posts option under the options tab.
Kid with a cough? Try Runny Rhino cold relief pops. Cool concept, cough drops in sucker form for kids. They seemed to work for Charlie.
TiVo is now placing ads on the “Now Playing” show lists. I turned a blind eye when the ads started popping up in the main menu, but enough is enough! What’s next? Will they start overlaying ads on the actual shows?
Do you know that feeling you get when something isn’t right? You know the one, you can’t quite put your finger on it, but something is out of place. I had that feeling tonight. I was sitting on the couch with Lori and Charlie watching the new movie Disney movie “Snow Buddies” when the feeling hit me. I started looking around the room… What was missing?
That’s when I realized that one of the dogs was not in the room with us, Cheyenne was mysteriously absent. Normally she’s in the same room, or getting into some sort of trouble in a different room and we can hear her. I hopped up and went searching, and this is what I found:
This is Cheyenne sound asleep on MY bed. I guess she got tired while eating one of our rolls of toilet paper.
Exhibit A - What’s left of a toilet paper roll.
You can see the guilt on her face. She won’t even look at the evidence!
I think Eko was in on it. He had us distracted.
