It has come to my attention that certain people feel I haven’t been posting enough fun stuff lately, so I guess I need to rectify that. As such, I have shamelessly stole this video from her.
This is what would happen if business meetings were like Internet forums (including strong language):
And also, now that Meg has visited my new blog, I finally have a dot from outside the U.S. on my Sitemeter!
You know how when you were like 13 you thought your parents were just *so* embarrassing? Well they probably were. I mean, if you could peer into our house at any given moment, you would see some pretty embarrassing behavior, such as barking like dogs, doing silly made up dances, making hideous faces and rude noises at Evie; anything for a smile. I’m sure after a few years of doing that you have no choice but to completely lose your sense of what is embarrassing and what isn’t. You really couldn’t help it.
Evie is crawling a little bit now. She says pretty much every sound in the alphabet except for “Ma” which Sara doesn’t take to kindly. When she is really upset / crying she has started going “nein nein nein” for some reason…must be in her German blood. And I think she is a little confused because everytime she sees the cat she starts yelling, “Da da! Da da!” Also, sometimes she makes this angry really loud breathing noise through her nose like Melissa trying to get Butters to attack her. I hope Melissa reads this because that would only make sense to her.
My mom is obsessed by the game Scrabble. I mean, really obsessed. She even has jewelry made out of scrabble tiles. She can never get anybody who wants to play with her, so she invented a game called Speed Scrabble (at least I think she did, she could have stole the idea from someone else and passed it off as her own). Anyway, we have been playing that game since we were little and I have introduced it to many people over the years. Well, in the tradition of Uno, Skip-bo, etc. someone has taken that game and monetized it into BananaGrams. Boo! My mom deserves a check.
I have endorsed ThinkGeek on this blog before and I probably will again. That is one of the coolest stores online. But I am not only doing a commercial, I also am a customer! (You may have seen Evie in an “I TCP/IP but mostly IP” shirt, among other things) I have even signed up for their mailer, something I would normally NEVER do. But every time, there are such good things in there that it is worth getting an email about, such as a personal soundtrack shirt with a built in speaker for playing the soundtrack to your life, selected from a remote in your pocket. Now it turns out it was just an April fools’ joke, but compared to some of their other products it doesn’t seem ridiculous. Well apparently it was not so crazy because they got so many orders and emails that they are now going to produce it! So anyway, if you are a geek and you like things, then you should check it out. And while you are there, perhaps you can buy a Defendius Labyrinth Security Lock for your home:

Oh yeah, and Guns and Roses rocks. FACT. I just needed that to be down in writing.
I miss Evie so much!!!!!!!!!!!
And I really like when he held the sign up for the phishers (?) to read.

How’s this for geeky? I think I may have added my very first RSS feed to follow a certain little blog so that I don’t have to randomly check in from the link on your myspace page! I say “I think” because I’m not absolutely certain if I did it right, or if I did, how I”ll know when you’ve updated, but one step at a time I suppose. Anyway, thanks for the video – funny!

I could have sworn I went to the site the very first day you linked to it from LiveJournal. I think you just haven’t been checking your dots too closely! Although admittedly, I don’t visit nearly often enough. After all, my new Outlook can conveniently check your RSS feed and drop your posts straight into my Inbox. The height of digital laziness!
Oh, and did someone play with your AutoCorrect feature on April Fool’s Day? Twice you used “stole” when you probably wanted “stolen.” But now I have the ultimate April Fool’s Day prank for next year. I’m going to come up with an AutoCorrect dictionary that turns people’s grammar to mush. I’ll replace “isn’t” with “ain’t” and “doesn’t” with “don’t” and all kinds of good things. “Ain’t that brilliant? Don’t it sound fun?” This year I just stuck small bits of Post-It paper over the optical sensor in my colleagues’ mice. Most of them found it in under a minute, but it was amusing to hear them banging around trying to figure out what went wrong. We’re so not hardware people. Unfortunately, my boss came by a day later and asked “Did one of you do this?” Admittedly, he has a laptop and the touchpad does tend to steal mouse priority, but a day and a half?! 🙂
…nothing like going off on a tangent in a blog comment, eh?
