Lots of Unrelated Things in a Numbered List for Your Convenience
Thursday, September 6th, 20071. Renny has “tagged” me, to do some … “meme” … or other — something that’s supposed to introduce me to my readers. But seriously, now. I talk about myself already so much over the course of almost five years (!) my readers, if any, are probably trying to FORGET what they already know. But okay, okay, I’ll cobble something together in a couple of days.
2. Because my schedule is full, okay? We’ve got another certification audit (or something, I’m unclear) coming up in 10 days, so more weekend work is not out of the question.
3. Plus, my wife thinks we need a third dog, so we may be doing an adoption interview this weekend, with a puffy red Pommy, just like little sweet Schotzy was.
4. Still haven’t installed my 5-port USB card from last week.
5. I’m trying to gather my medical bills from last year, for a tax deduction. But I can’t find anything, fancy that, so I have to go to online credit card statements.
6. Pavarotti died today. I don’t have any thoughts on that, really, but Vickie was surprised I didn’t bring it up, so here it is.
7. Speaking of musical people, Kim has a new song, the first in a long time, go check it out!
8. Last week, two stories from sources near my hometown popped up on Fark in one day. The one in the Plainview paper isn’t showing up (it wasn’t about Plainview or even Texas anyway), but this one from Lubbock is. It’s about a stabbing and shootout between two employees at a Lubbock gun store.
Who woulda thought? Well, I would have, I guess …
9. One more thing: The new (R-rated!) trailer for Beowulf, co-starring Angelina Jolie and directed by Robert “Back to the Future/Forrest Gump” Zemeckis.
He’s come a long way, and in this case it’s not necessarily a good thing.
It looks like he tried to remake The 13th Warrior as 300, but he couldn’t afford enough lighting.
Anyway, here it is:
Okay, that’s more than enough, go get ready for the weekend …
