His brothers in the evening, his father in the morning; such had been his night. -Hugo, LM
Change “brothers,” “evening,” “father,” and “night” and you have me.

ta-da!
Thursday, August 30th, 2007party?
Sunday, August 26th, 2007Me: “The only party you’ll be a part of is a search-and-rescue party.”
Stu lost his Mountain Dew on that one. Eh, tsk tsk.
not quite…
Friday, August 24th, 2007Bethany W called my car “bug-sy.”
Interesting.
Nothing wrong with “bug-sy” but I prefer “cool” or “cute.” 
Also, I ran into a St. Pierre yesterday (Nate). That’s always interesting… me an’ Nate N had a little chat with him.
weekend, take 2
Tuesday, August 21st, 2007Played mini-golf in the rain. Was pretty interesting. Sank a beautiful shot into water (some of the holes were flooded.)
The Twins won, and Yo-hizzle set a Twins record with 17 K’s. Nice. $20m/year, anyone?
Vikings beat the Jets. Quotes:
- “About the only good thing that came out of tonight is that it didn’t count,” the New York Jets quarterback said.
- “I told them after the game that if anybody has the impression that this is OK because it’s preseason, they’re wrong,” coach Eric Mangini said.
- “I just lost sight of Sharper,” Pennington said. “It was one of those things where you’d like to have a string on the football so you could have that one back.”
- “It was just one of those days,” Jets wide receiver Laveranues Coles said. “We took one on the chin.”
weekend
Sunday, August 19th, 2007Had an interesting weekend. I’m too tired, otherwise I’d write about it. Maybe tomorrow.
photos + fanbase
Wednesday, August 15th, 2007Here are some photos, I think..
Oh, and my fan-base is growing – or maybe it’s a leech-base. Hm.
Anyway, Sarah T started a blog. Check it out.
And my sister said she has some more OO.org converts. Maybe she can post an updated list here… HINT HINT
absentee ballot
Monday, August 13th, 2007Seems that I’ve been away for a while; I apologize to all my fans. Took a little excursion to Montana and back. Returned Monday at 2AM; leave for Oklahoma Tuesday at 7AM.
I’ll write more on the Montana excursion later (if I remember.) I got some fantastic photos and even some spiffy video to post. In the meantime, we got new phones. Samsung SYNC (SGH-A707) for all. Yay.
[radio edit]
Tuesday, August 7th, 2007KTLK FM was pretty interesting today.
Dan Conry cut off several callers. One guy (Mike) called back and was saying, “Dan, you cut me off earlier, and for good reason…” and Dan cut him off again: “Sorry, Mike, I know you were the first caller today, but one call per show, and please don’t call every day.”
Lol. Cut off again! Poor guy.
Then Jason Lewis… wow, radio edit this. Man, he was upset, and for good reason. I’ve never heard him swear that much on air. I’m surprised he managed to stay within FCC guidelines.
replay?
Monday, August 6th, 2007Listening to Chad Hartman today.
He was talking with a caller about the Jake Brown accident.
In case you didn’t know, he had a 40 foot free-fall. From the article:
He slid limply down the last few feet of the transition and lay motionless for nearly five minutes. Everyone in attendance rose to their feet and waited for Brown to get up, which took some time.
They were talking about that last part: “waited for Brown to get up.” Guy has a 40′ fall. This is probably the only “sport” where medics didn’t immediately show up, put him on a stretcher, and send him off to the hospital.
Caller: “What could the medics have been doing that would have been more important than helping a guy that just had a forty foot fall?”
Chad: “Watching the replay?”
His sidekick, “Doogie,” has already called the Vikings first pre-season game (this Friday, I believe), a “Must win.”
group chat
Monday, August 6th, 2007I knew I saw “Group Chat” somewhere on Google Talk.
Turns out the Google Talk Gadget (web based) has more features than the Windows app. How weird is that?
