How sad... It's early evening, and I'm too tired to write up a full report on the evening. It's early enough right now that I'll probably be awake early enough tomorrow to type something on up. In the meantime, I'm getting back to sleep. |

I made it back from Texas, but it's time to head in to work now. I'll give a report later... |

All
in all, a good day. I caught the last episode of Voyager, even though
I haven't been following the show the last couple of years, and I
saw an episode of News Radio that I hadn't seen before. As a matter of fact, I also saw not one, but two episodes of The Simpsons that I hadn't seen before. All in all, a good day... See everybody in Texas this weekend... Probably Austin on Saturday and New Braunfels on Sunday. |

Well,
I'm pretty close to having my new posting system working. I've imported
all my old comments and now have a cool searchable database... It's
not as cool as it should be, and when I imported all the old posts,
I screwed up all the dates, but I think I can get it working properly
sometime this week. Expect to have a sign-up form in a couple days,
and sign up for all the cool stuff to come. And I will finish up Chapterhouse this week. |

I've been working out on a near-daily basis for the last month or so. My normal routine is to come home from work, watch News Radio, then head to the gym. I do 45 minutes to an hour on a cross trainer, then do weights until I'm beat... Yesterday I went into the gym and someone was on my cross trainer, so I figured I'd just hit the weights and call it a day (I can take a day off every once in a while...) But god, that 45 minutes of aerobic exercise must really help me get warmed up, because Even after having just done my normal weight routine, I am sore as a mofo today. My legs are so sore, I couldn't even get to the gym today. Well, I guess all that crap they teach you about stretching and warming up is right after all... Who knew? |

Hunter S. Thompson
has recently taken
up the cause of Lisl
Auman. Lisl Auman is currently serving a life sentence without
possibility of parole for a murder that occurred while she was in
police custody. Many are saying that hers is a case of wrong
place, wrong time. The gist of the story goes like this: Lisl got some friends to help her break into her ex-boyfriends apartment to retrieve her things. Matthaeus Jaehnig (whom she had met for the first time this morning) gives her a ride to her new apartment. On the way, a police officer attempts to pull them over. Jaehnig attempts to flee. After a high speed chase in which Jaehnig brandishes and fires an assault weapon, they come to a stop at her apartment complex. She bolts from the car, surrenders to police and warns them that Jaehnig is armed. Jaehring shoots and kills a police officer, then kills himself with the officer's firearm. A Denver newspaper then runs a story on Jaehning's extensive criminal record, questioning why he was on the streets in the first place. The election year administration, having nobody left to blame, charges Lisl with felony murder, for which she is convicted and sentenced to the mandatory minimum life without parole. This is an ugly story, but from what I've read, it doesn't seem like she deserves to be spending the rest of her life in prison. She had the misfortune of coming into contact with an unstable racist who chose that moment to go psycho... Hunter and friends held a rally recently to coincide with her latest appeal. |

Stuff like this almost makes me wish that I hadn't quit smoking. And that I lived in Canada. Oh wait, neither of those are true. I don't know though... I've certainly feel a lot less cool the last six weeks... |

I
just got back from a bike ride. I got on the street that I live off
and went west for an hour and a half or so. Eventually, I got to a
town called De
Soto, where I was told by someone at a gas station that I would
be ticketed for riding my bike on 83rd St. So I headed south for a
while until I got to 95th St. I figured that was about as good a time
as any to start heading back home, so I went east. I followed it for
a few miles until it looped around a highway and started heading back
west. I almost decided to jump a fence and risk a ticket riding along
the side of the highway until the next exit when I saw a guy in a
truck behind a fence. Apparently he was just out driving, and had
turned into this field, only to have the gate closed and locked behind
him in the space of 10 minutes. There was another exit, but it had
a chain blocking that exit, and he needed help lifting the chain over
his truck. So I rode with him out there, we got the chain over his
truck, and he gave me a ride to the next exit, where I picked up 95th
again and took it home. All in all, a good ride. I had planned on being out longer, but I think I'll try that again when I've lost another 20 pounds... |

Well, the incredibly depressing first episode of News Radio after Phil Hartman's death was on A&E today. Be sure to catch it this evening at 6:30, 5:30 Central if you'd like to have the rest of your weekend thrown into a depressive funk. It's a sad episode, but I thought very tastefully done... |

Well, as of today, I am officially down 20 pounds from where I was when I started weighing myself on February 6. Another 30 and I'm going to get my tattoo. I got a nice drop today because I just got done playing a game if Age of Empires II with some friends that went on for about 3 hours. Ugh... I'm exhausted. But I spent all the time from when I got home until we started playing in the gym, and the game went so long I didn't have time for dinner. I need to do that more often. |

One of the shows that I will go out of my way to catch any time it might be on is The Family Guy. It seems to run sporadicly on Fox. Apparently they had some episodes stocked up which were waiting to be run in the fall. But now that the writer's strike has been averted, it looks like Fox is going to go ahead and run them this summer. I can't wait... |

Every once in a while, I do some work on the site. I fixed up the statistics page a bit. I upgraded to the most recent version of the awstats script, and I added some code to keep my navigation bars up when you get the stats. I think the coolest new thing is that the statistics now show what search engine phrases people are looking for, rather than just individual words. Apparently a lot of people want the lyrics to Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice". Well I can't help you out there, but they do sneak in a nice Dune reference. |

Steve Martin rules. On Counting Down, you can check out two flash animations written by the man himself. Be sure you check out Gwyneth and Steve, narrated by Steve and Morto the Magician. Do it now, before you forget. Don't make me remind you all week long. |

Well, I haven't had a cigarette in five weeks. Right about now, I
wish I was still a nicotine user so I could try "Cigalettes".
I think the best part about these nicotine-containing breath mints
is that they aren't meant as stop smoking aids, but are targeted at
folks in situations where they can't smoke. Like a fucking
bar in California. A fucking bar. That's never made sense to me,
and it never will. I also never got a chance to try Eclipse Smokeless Cigarettes. I keep threatening to put the days I work out on the weight chart, but honestly I really don't feel like going through the trouble. I'm having a hard enough time mucking about with Jakarta Tomcat. If anyone has already hacked my machine, would you mind putting up some sample jsp or java servlets so I can get a clue? Well, I get paid this Friday, so I guess it's time to buy some books... Free software ain't free... Especially when you're dumb... |

Back from Arkansas. The shows were amazing. I've only seen the Steve
Kimock Band once before, last year at Chester's Place in Fayetteville.
I have now tripled the amount of SKB shows I've been to. Thursday
night's show was excellent, a lot of very driving jams. This tour,
Rodney
Holmes is in playing drums. I'm on a mailing list and had heard
some reviews of shows earlier on the current tour, and had heard raves
about Mr. Holmes. From reading the emails, I didn't really understand
what can possibly be so impressive about a drummer. I found out Thursday
and Friday night, though. I don't know that I have before heard a
drum solo that kept a beat well enough that you could continue dancing.
Even when not soloing, Rodney's beats played well with Bobby Vega's
bass and Mitch Stein and Steve Kimock's guitars. Kimock's guitar work
was as amazing as I remember from the last show I saw. I just wish
I was in New Orleans catching the band tonight. But alas, I must sleep.
God damn, I am just flirting with a new low on the weight chart, but I can't seem to quite drop that one extra pound. I'm definitely working out tomorrow, so I guess I'll just not eat or drink anything tomorrow. And I'll sit in the sauna all day. (Can I move my TV in there so I can catch This Week tomorrow morning?) |
