Honesty Box

Really?


Every single on of my friends has been embarassed to be seen with me.

I am the friend that if you are going out with me, you tell the people in your life that you are working late.

A Cute Little Dead Girl

I was cleaning up a drive yesterday when I came across a repository of stuff that I always wanted to save but never figured out where to put it.

In it was a directory called Lenore which I thought contained the first nine comics...




But...

It also contained all the animations as well.

This made me very very happy in a very sad way.

Too Bad There Is No Where to Play It

Scrabble Geekery, I adore you.

Mistake Porn

So...

Yeah...

This is a picture of me.



Fat...pasty...hairy...

And I made it my Facebook profile picture.

What this says about my state of mind, I really don't know.

However, it has been a motivating factor it ne working out until I cry.

And I will have those f'ing abs again.

A Couple of Things

Macy's continues to drive me crazy (in a bad bad way) (Please get the new convention center built so we can get a Brooks Brothers downtown).

The movies for this evening are Blood and Shrink.

Colin Hay's "Lose to Win" is an incredibly random upbeat song.

My housemate was told that she has to see the Chipmunk's movie because there is someone who looks just like me in it. "David Cross?"."Who is that?" "Tobias Funke" "Hah!". Yeah, not feeling that.

My favorite type of medication.

The screen capture says, "May cause dizziness, sexual nightmares and sleep crime."


Speaking of odd dreams, I had a complete narrative arc that was odd and I was domestic and I was happy, which proves that it was completely a dream.

Predicting the New Decade

Transportation

BEST CASE: The Capital Region finally gets electrified high-speed rail links to the rest of the state.

Manhattan is now just an hour away, funneling new companies and residents to the Capital Region. The high-speed line stops at Albany's airport, bringing travelers and encouraging airlines to ramp up their long-haul service to the West Coast and Europe.

Meanwhile, a light-rail system links the Capital Region's four major cities, connecting downtowns, airports and suburbs. Cars are more efficient, and drivers recharge their electric cars at light rail stations.

WORST CASE: New York state's proposals for high-speed rail receive no federal funding and aren't built, and state-subsidized passenger rail lines to Montreal and Rutland, Vt., are eliminated by bean counters in New York and Vermont.

Meanwhile, rising fuel and security costs make air travel more expensive, and fewer Capital Region residents board trains -- isolating the area from the world economy.

Highway congestion worsens, and it sometimes takes two hours to drive from Colonie to Clifton Park on the Northway -- a major blow to the region's productivity. The now-demolished Lake Champlain bridge proves to be an omen, and many such spans close because of poor maintenance from a cash-strapped state.

Cold and Ugly

It is awful and ugly. It has been snowing for two days with no accumulation and it has been very cold.



It is not...pretty outside either.




So, after walking the dog (and putting a load of laundry in) I am making a pot of coffee and I am going to read the paper and listen to NPR.
