| 8:57 pm | I was going to see the movie anyway, but whoa... "Whatever Heath [Ledger] channeled into, he's found something quite extraordinary. It's arguably one of the greatest screen villains I think I've ever seen." - Gary Oldman Gary Goddamn Oldman. This is the guy who brought us some of the most fantastic villians in the past 20 years or so... I am so there... -DH |
| 4:06 pm | Part I: My one honest, political act this season Okay. I went to this site: http://seantevis.com/kansas/3000/running-f And, so help me God, I donated $8.34 cents to this man. Someone running for State Representitive of a state that, frankly, gives me the hives. I have never, ever donated anything to any political campaign. Ever. This is a first for me. But, at least this guy gets my money for one simple reason: Like any other politico I've enjoyed in the past, he kept me entertained. Oh, and if you haven't yet, go check out XKCD so you can understand where this campaign is coming from. Hell, if I had $500 to blow, I'd do that just for the thank you video from his mom. :) -DH |

| 2:50 pm | Part II: Meanwhile, at Crate & Barrel...  Clicky piccy for bigger I always knew ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} triggur was entertaining, but who knew that he was so damn affordable?-DH |
| 7:40 am | Part I: EPIPHANY! I'm swear the only reason the Draenei were created in World of Warcraft (other than giving Alliance foot/hoof fetishists a character) were to allow disillusioned Star Trek fans a way to repurpose their Klingon masks... Just sayin'... -DH |

| 4:44 pm | Part I: Damn quandries... If I could ethically vote for a Democratic candidate, I would gladly vote for Obama. Anybody who has an ordained minister who wants to cut off their nuts deserves my vote. -DH |

All tapes still in shrinkwrap. So, tell any of your tech friends that might be interested in such a deal. I'm screening all comments, so leave contact info there.

| 1:54 pm | Part II: Philosophy: It's a bunch of Pooh. Ganked from jasra...( No big surprises here - The Pooh Character Quiz ) I always concidered myself a strange mix of Eeyore and Gopher, but I'll take this. -DH |
| 12:26 pm | Part I: Can't think of a better way to go... While walking the building gathering recycling this morning, I mentioned to the Day Porter that she needed to learn how to do this because, "...when I quit, you're going to have to do all this." DP:"Wait! You can't quit!" Me:"Yes, I can. I have a mouth and everything." DP:"But quitting a job is no fun." Me:"Then you're not doing it right. I plan to go out with a real show, depending on the reason I quit." DP:"What do you mean?" Me:"Well, if I were to quit right now, DOLF is the one who is driving me crazy. So I'd probably set his desk on fire and dance naked around the flames." Now, this was said right as we reached the Legal admin's desk, so I turned to her with nary a pause, "Hi! Does your recycle need emptied?" It took me about 40 seconds to get and answer. First from the sputtering, then from the guffaws. About 10 cubes down, someone threatened to tell DOLF what I said. My answer:"Do you want me to give you his extension? Somedays, and not nearly often enough, it's good to be the Boo.... -DH PS-> Words I just uttered in the main lobby. "Well, keep in mind that Boss is one of four people in this building who can tell me what to do, and she's the only one who keeps my homicidal rage in check. I'd keep her happy if I was you." |

| 3:49 pm | Part I: A time to be polite Feel free to try this. I just did. Walk up to someone in your office and say, "Excuse me, but would you mind helping me get fired for sexual harassment? If you don't want to, I understand that 'No means no.'" Additional points awarded for same-gender proposals, as well as doing this to a member of Human Resources. I'm absolutely sure your experience will be better than mine. -DH |

| 12:11 pm | Part I: NerdRage Strikes! I'm almost kinda thinking about giving D&D 4th Edition a try. Mind, I'm not buying anything for it until I try it, but I'm thinking about it. Reading the bad press for it kinda turned me off. Then Lore Sjorberg pointed out, quite well, that NerdRage colors most of this press. So, as points pointed out to me, I'm pointing it out to all of you. NerdRage brought into sharp focus.Also, in this article, is the one sentence that sums up post-WWW internet culture: "I do not appriciate your ATTACKING ME with helpful suggestions!" That alone makes this brief article worthwhile. -DH |

| 3:40 pm | Part II: My name is Boo, and I'm a chain-drinker. I have no less than three opened cans of soda at my desk right now. All of them opened in the past two hours. And I've had at least on drink from all of them, including the one that's nearly full. Bah. -DH |
| 12:27 pm | Part I: Quick Post Someone made a carature of me. I owe someone lunch. :) -DH |

| 10:49 am | Part I: It's been a long time since a work e-mail.... Folks, In mid January, our present copiers will be leaving the premises, and new copiers will appear. We’ve got just over 6 months left in a five year lease. So, in order to make sure we get the machines we need to continue our job of making our member companies unstoppable juggernauts, I cast my plea out to the hoi-polloi for input. Let me know what you think of our present copiers, and what you would be looking for in future copiers. Nothing is off limits, but keep in mind that wanting and getting are two completely different critters, not even in the same phylum. Also, please try to be… hmmm... ‘specific’ in your statements. Generic is good, but the more specific you get, the better I can try to locate and price the features. Here are a few examples: HELPFUL – “I don’t like the way you have to hit 5 buttons to get to a screen.” UNHELPFUL – “The screen sucks.” HELPFUL – “Sometimes the feeder jams on big (100+ pages) jobs.” UNHELPFUL – “The feeder sucks.” HELPFUL – “Overall, I’d like to get a simpler, more intuitive machine.” UNHELPFUL – “Fire is the only thing that can cleanse this foul stain on office equipment everywhere. If you don’t take care of it, I’ve got friends in the Militia who will.” As always, questions are regarded. Not my best work, but not bad considering.... -DH |

| 1:25 pm | Part I: I had this urge, see.... Well, this weekend, rather than work (which I really should have done), I went to see Iron Man. Saw lots of trailers. I'm really starting to love The Dark Knight. As soon as I saw Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent... Eyup, it's going to be one of those summers. I can remember 1989 - The last time Indiana Jones went head-to-head with Bruce Wayne. And that was pretty good. I still think Indy will be the overall winner. Anywho... Movie was pretty good. A bit predictable, but well done. However... The bit after the credits that have given me a cinematic erection that has lasted for well over four hours... If the next movie doesn't live up to the promise of that two minutes... son of a bitch WILL pay.... -DH |

| 1:28 pm | A moral quandry Last Wednesday, I chipped a tooth on some bacon. So... Does that make it good bacon, or bad bacon. Discuss. Well, anyone who EATS bacon can discuss. points can go piss up a rope.-DH |

| 8:41 pm | Reality Train Wreck - Hell's Kitchen I love Hell's Kitchen. Watching it now. And, I now have a theory. Since we're now on Season Four of the show, I think that the producers are intentionally picking the biggest whack-jobs in the culinary world. Seriously. Best line (so far) tonight: "I don't think Chef wanted me to go. I think he wants to beat on my ass for a little longer." If you want a reality show that showcases real cooks doing some pretty amazing things - Just switch over to Bravo's Top Chef. If you want to see people with huge egos with mediocre skills get their asses handed to them by a trained professional, go with Hell's Kitchen. It's been... whoa... about 13 years since I've been in a real kitchen. Nearly 20 years since I was in the kitchen with the word 'cook' in my title (However, I've done more prep work and plating as a dishwasher than most people fresh out of culinary school.) And let me tell you this - Hell's Kitchen menu is set up with simplicity in mind. Gordon Ramsay's cooking is geared toward simple flavors, the best ingredients and quick cooking. While I certainly couldn't compete at this level, I guarantee you I'd be in the final 5. I would take a sabbatical from work to be a dishwasher on that show. I'd have so much fun. :D -DH |
| 8:21 pm | It's always something... First, a quick lawsuit from a PLAYER saying that 'gold farmers are ruining his World Of Warcraft game. First response: Bwuh? Now, I play WoW. And, oddly enough, I buy gold from the company that is the defendant in the lawsuit. And, franky, I use as much of my 'ill-gotten' booty to help out folks in my guild as much as myself. I just want to run quests and play - I don't have enough time to grind. What really pisses me off so much about this is the fact that Blizzard could kill the gold trade in a single patch. All you have to do is completely stop player-to-player gold transfers. Because, frankly, if it's wrong to buy gold from a crazy Chinese farm, it's wrong to give gold to friends. After all, it offers an unfair advantage to anyone who gets gold. And while we're at it, all item transfers should go through the Auction House. Because it's the only way to be fair. -DH |
