Due to me not wanting to drive about 40miles roundtrip, I will not be participating in the 0wning of said nerds in yesterdays post.
Next time Gadget... next time.

I'm about to install Windows Vista: RC2 on my spare 'puter... I'm prepared for disaster.
Randomness: My birthday is drawing near, time to start counting backwards!

Whilst perusing some free local magazine at lunch, the words "spelling bee" catch my eye. O RLY?
I see Cafè Lulu in beautiful *cough* Bay View is holding a spelling bee tomorrow (21+), hmmm, it's been a while since I schooled some nerds.
Back in the 6th grade, I took 2^nd place in our city spelling bee, didn't get jack for it though.
Up until a few years ago, I could still remember the word I got wrong...
This is not vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. No... not vengeance, this is punishment.

Stay tuned!

I went to the post office after work, and they're closed! WTF... who cares about Columbus day? Why do banks/post-offices get the day off but other people don't?

I can hear the teacher man talking about Columbus,
He nothing but an old dead fück with a compass.
Ran up on a beach and threw everybody off,
And then he claimed discovery and now we all applaud.

Can't sum it up better than that, no reason to celebrate that douchebag.

In geek news, FireFox 2.0 RC (RC = release candidate/beta/pre-release/stable test version) is now available for download!
Looks much nicer, has built in phishing protection too. Sexy.

So I'm coming home last night, waiting at a red light on Water st. downtown, when some skinny wannabe thug just throws his lit cigarette on my hood and throws his arms up and says "what?"
If it weren't for the 3 other guys he had with him, I don't know, I don't even want to know what I would have done... seriously WTF.
He was still mouthing shìt as he piled into some mid-90's Civic, poor jealous little boy.
Time to start keeping the 1/2" steel breaker bar in my trunk, we'll see how badass you are then suburban gangstah. If you even THINK of fücking with someone's car (who actually cares about their car), be prepared for a steel pipe in the face, repeatedly, we have zero tolerance for that, and value our cars well above your pathetic existence.

Well, it turns out I'm going by myself, hope there's no snakes on board.
[rant] Why do people insist on going slow in the left lane? I know it's a dead horse, but damn is it fun to beat!
This guy in his Ford Five-Hundred, obviously thought he had a real luxury car, and therefore bought the rights to drive like a jackass.
So he's going 70 in a 65, and there's about a mile of empty space in front of him, with cars riding his ass (me) and others behind me. Doesn't he get the hint? Does he just not give a shìt because he's old? Whatever the case, he got a nice bird from me as I finally was able to pass.
I noticed a few minutes later he was still in that lane about a mile back now, cars backed up behind him... tsk tsk.
I wish I had a beater car to just give these people a nudge, maybe turn them into the wall on accident, "whoops... my bad sir!"

That's the first thing my boss asked me when she called me up at the end of the day. I was like wtf!? (We have two offices, one in Milwaukee, one in Philly.)
Leave Wisconsin forever? me? Oh I don't know...
I didn't have to make that decision though, because it's only going to be for a day or two :)
She wants me to fly in to test a new system, and because "I'm by far the best tester we have"
I've never been on a plane before, eep!... stay tuned.

In other news... I've near perfected the art of steakery! Take a look at this:

I'll give you a shiny new nickel if you didn't drool...(don't lie, fàg).
