Out of the Blue

A little off-track this morning. Luckily in catching up I didn't lose track of a couple of well-wishes I wanted to offer a couple of the forum stalwarts here: Happy birthday Ray Marden and (I believe) Enahs. Cheers!

jeez woman, take a Midol.

That is what I thought.
One of them said their 4 year old niece watches the show - ummm, is it ok for a kid to watch Fox News? No.

I'm in no rush...got a ton of of stuff to wade through. I just want to get a Blues DS group going...

I've been trying to get a #bluesnews IRC channel going for among other uses playing DS games (I hang out in a channel called #mariokartds on espernet which is the same idea, even has a nifty bot that you register your friend codes into) but alas, no such luck yet.

Happy Birthday to Ray and Enahs!

May end up buying a new truck today - got a great ad price on some 2006 Ford F-150 SuperCrews with the tow package at a local dealership.

You we're doing so good too, right up until I saw the word 'Ford'. Look on the bright side though, at least there are about a million places to get parts.

Maybe if I get my better half interested in Animal Crossing she will want one also (her b-day is right around the corner). She still likes Mario, so maybe get her hooked with that.

Well, you got Mario 64 DS as well as New Super Mario Bros...both are fun.

Cool, hopefully another deal will come along about then, I figured I could wait anyway, since I have 3 weeks left of skills training and then I will have more free time.

Sounds like an amalgamation of V´Ger and that amoeba-like creature from ST:TOS.

I´m wondering if "wide" and "across" regard separate dimensions (X vs. Z)... either that, or someone made an error and must return to elementary mathematics.

Probably next month - I bought a Creative Zen 8gb yesterday instead. It was a toss up of an ipod nano or something similar, so I used my 10% off on the zen instead. After rebate I am getting the 8gb unit for $143.00. Roughly $45.00 off retail. Shipped for free.

Blue, can you do something about that Sidekick ad that always pops onto the front page? The close button overlaps the TOP advertisement, so if that TOP banner is a flash ad, you either have to reload the page, or wait for the banner to close itself, since the close button stops working.

Poker and blackjack? Maybe. We'll start you there. And then you'll go "Well, MarioKart looks cool" and next thing you know, it's Metroid (FPS) and even (gasp!) Animal Crossing.

When '42 All-Time Classics' goes on shelves, I will get a DS - play some poker, chess, checkers, etc.?

Oh, and Starfox ships in August, and supports 4 player multi over the internet.

Who else has friend codes? I really need to get out of my AC town...

Well I did, I ate more then any 3-4 other people combined. I had to have eaten at least 5,000 calories since there is so much starch and sugar, if I was a betting man I would say closer to 7,500 calories..

Like many things in my life, it goes by my motto:
It seemed like a good idea at the time.

30 minutes later I decided to come home and take a short nap….ohh god my stomach hurts so much!

hehehe MSG overload - but dont' worry, you will be fine in 2 horus, and hungry again. I mean come on, it is Chinease.

Danke all.

That was nice, had the B-day logo up before the update. Gotta love it.


Yeah, I was not sure when I was going to be home to do it after class, hell I had no plans to be home at all today. But after class some friends took me to a Chinese restaurant across from campus…and in the discussion of what to eat and the cake I have for the gathering tonight, etc etc people where surprised I was eating so much “heavy” food…in the ensuing conversation somehow I got challenged and accepted to eat as much as possible at the buffet. Well I did, I ate more then any 3-4 other people combined. I had to have eaten at least 5,000 calories since there is so much starch and sugar, if I was a betting man I would say closer to 7,500 calories..

Like many things in my life, it goes by my motto:

But since today is my birthday, and Rays…..I love you guys.

From the article -
An enormous amoeba-like structure 200 light-years wide and made up of galaxies and large bubbles of gas is the largest known object in the universe, scientists say.

Then a couple of paragraphs later -
Some of the gas bubbles are up to 400,000 light years across, nearly twice the diameter of our neighboring Andromeda Galaxy.

Huh? So this enormous structure is 200 light years wide but contains gas bubbles that are up to 400,000 light years wide. Am I missing something here?

Love the new BSG series and I am eagerly awaiting season 3, but I loathe Chad Kroger and Nickelback (the music in the trailer).

Bands like Nickelback are the reason why the Cylons want to wipe out humanity.

Ditto on the birthdays!

May end up buying a new truck today - got a great ad price on some 2006 Ford F-150 SuperCrews with the tow package at a local dealership. Wife (and I ) would like to replace my 2002 SuperCab with something with more room in the back (for our little guy and guests as we plan to get a small used travel trailer in the next year or two and do a little camping), and I still need a truck for work.

Still trying to get a good price on one with a limited-slip rear differential and the 6.5' bed. The ad trucks have neither (standard is a 5.5 ft bed). I can live without those features if there is a significant price difference, though.



There will come a moment when you have the chance to do the right thing.

I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by.
