Pointless Announcements

Late to bed, early to rise, makes you so you can't open your eyes...

 

Upgraded to the iPhone 4s 32 GB, which I will be using as a phone/mp3 player since the zune hd player was phased out of Microsoft's product line.

 

Its friday

 

Hey New Yorkers - your bike share is getting ready to start up in a couple of months. Go check it out.

All the cool cities are starting them.

 

BARAKA_GURU DRINKING GAME! I got dibs on the couch.

 

Nope. It hasn't even started yet. Chicago's is still in the RFP stage.

Minneapolis has been going for almost 3 years. Boston has been going about a year. DC/Alexandria has been going for 2. Ft. Collins, CO has one. San Fransisco is starting one but it's in the very early stages. Austin, TX has one.

And those are just the ones I have direct knowledge of. There's another guy in my office that does almost as many as I do, so double the above. There are some cities that aren't good for this sort of thing (personally I think San Fran won't work because of the hills, but that's me), like Vegas or Phoenix (too hot and too spread out), but so long as the costs stay relatively low, it's something that's sustainable. The issue - for me, anyway - is that no one really knows what the claims are going to be and how well the laws are written.

 

first lesson of combatives-2 this morning

 

That's like 60 pounds less than the usual blind geriatric I end up spooning with after getting shitfaced.

Hey-oh!

 

I am going with the "one less of hour of work on my shift" line personally. Sounds good to me for a once per year occurence, especially when the counterpoint later means I have to stay an extra hour for that shift.

 

The film playing this morning in the lounge was Episode 2 of the real Star Wars films AKA Episode V: Return of the Jedi to those that claim there are six films.
My thought after seeing some of the climatic fight scene again was this:
How did Anakin go from a skinny average height whiny bitch to a 6'7" badass with a booming bass voice just from falling into lava and having his limbs replaced?
Of course if you were watching the newer films first without knowledge of the earlier ones then you can probably guess Luke is directly related just by the whining alone.

 

Uggggg....my brain hurts.

 

an odd sentence: "if you speak french, i do a radio show."
that's a lot of pressure.

 

Would you believe KISS shoes?
