WTF!

Okay. Alright. E-fucking-nough! I've enabled Adsense by Google on this here nifty little blog. But, like the title says, what the fuck?!?!?! Bible! Jesus Christ! How do I rate this sort of ad when nothing I've ever selected on this blog, surfed on the net, or otherwise done in my meager, humble, dispassionate life, would or could give anyone, any human, any lawnmower man type being the idea that I would be interested in links, back links, or advertisements dealing with the omnipotent, all knowing one who smites in the sky.

The ads are gone.

Bitter, Terrible Punishment!

Oh woe is me! Nobody can know my sorrow! I have placed a wager in my infinate wisdom and lost. I must have read the tea leaves incorrectly. That, or the stars aligned against me. Zeus and I have never really gotten along since that night on Olympus with Andromeda... Uh, nevermind.

And now, with great trepidation I approach my punishment. Nah, my trial. Nah-nah! My tribulation! Five dates with my wife?!?!?!?!

Oh yes, my losing bet is forcing me to spend five periods of time; lunch time, dinner time, evening time, or, and hopefully, night time with my wife.

Like Warren Zevon says; "Poor, poor, pitiful me"! I'm smiling through my humility because I made the right bet!

Cheers

NFL Championships and Family Friendly Betting

I'm watching football right now. Very intently, obbiously. My wife and I have a bet on both championship games tonight.

AFC: Patriots vs. Chargers

I have the Chargers and she gave me the 1PM spread of 14 points. The winner of this game gets his or her car washed and doesn't have to do dishes for a week. However, the dishes can't stack up for a week just because you've lost the bet.

NFC: Packers vs. Giants

I have the Packers and am giving her the 1PM spread of 7 points. If I win this game she has to relenquish the remote and feed the dog for 7 days. If I lose I have to plan 5 dates in 2 months... with her.

Yea football! My post tomorrow my be of a very different attitude depending on if I'm washing cars and dishes. We'll see.

Cheers

I'm No Gamer But This Should Be A MMORPG!

But what do I know? Maybe it is. I am not familiar with World of Warcraft, for all I know this is a screen shot from the game. But If it is, I'm going out today and buying it!

...tired. ...so tired...

I'm exhausted. Not like I have the flu or anything. Just tired. My body feels like it's resonating. I think I mean resonating. If resonating means pulsing or rhythmic shaking then I definately mean resonating.

I remember when I used to take LSD to feel like this, well, sort of like this. Turns out if I had spent the day performing some sort of hard labor or otherwise taxing myself I could have achieved very nearly the same feeling and instead of spending money I could've made a bit. Funny old world, ain't it?

Party, party, party. That's why I'm tired. My daughter turned 7 today and we had her kiddo birthday party on Sunday. Saturday night was for the adults, in her honor, of course but definately an adult party. It was, let me count... the 13th party we've hosted/thrown since Thanksgiving.

All the parties were loads of fun but loads more work and at the end of this stretch of festive occasions I must say that the cost:benefit ratio is falling off a bit. My wife has sworn no more fiestas until at least May. I tried to get her to commit to May 2009 but she wouldn't budge. If you know her you'll know she can be stubborn!

In this eight week stretch of budget busting frivolity I have not read a single book. My stack of gift books is now 8 high and I have more books in a trade-as-you-go circle that I have been sitting on since August. My brain is shriviling.

I'm off to counter afore mentioned brain shrivilage by starting up on my book stack.

Cheers and yes, I do have a zombie escape plan!

RAM Discs are Awesome!

I might be behind the curve a bit with my technology and I blame that on my beautiful MacBook Pro. I've had it for about 18 months and I have not wanted for anything since that wonderful day back in July 06. Since that fated day I have basically stopped scouring the interweb for fixes that make my machine faster or to make cleaning up cache easier, wiping out cookies, etc.

I did notice a bit of slow-ish-ness behaviour tonight while I was using crack, I mean StumbleUpon. I quickly went to my Ice Clean application and wiped all the caches, ran all the scripts from Apple, and verified my prefs all in one stroke. I'm smiling at that one stroke part of my last comment, ahhhh.

I started nosing around in Ice Clean for OS X and found a button that said "Burn 2GB RAM Disc". I said "OK" because I'm easy going and who doesn't want 2GB of extra RAM? Who? That's right! Nobody!

I have now been Stumbling at warp speed with the 3GB of RAM, technically. It's awesome and I'm probably not going to sleep for the next few days.

Check out Ice Clean here: www.macdentro.com You'll need OS X Tiger or better to enjoy the pure bacon and butter ecstasy that is working on a Mac and using cool apps like Ice Clean and Firefox.

Cheers
