Out of the Blue

We're battening down the hatches here as we look forward to another visit from the little BlueMunchkins, as our crack babysitting skills are being called into action again this weekend. This will be an extended trip compared with their previous visits, as we will have them from tomorrow afternoon through sometime Monday. I just hope the weather holds out, since a rainy weekend like last time around will be that much harder to work around with twice as much time to kill.

Play Time: Motherload. Thanks Tannon.

It's my freaking birthday
Happy birthday, Bronco! May you go gracefully into your twilight years.

Seriously, though, I hope your day was good and the family did something special for you. You deserve it, you're a nice guy.

I turn 30 -- THIRTY! on Dec. 2, so I know the feeling of approaching a 'big one'

Happy birthday Broncs... 35 isn't that old... it's half-way to 70. Half-way to anything is actually quite a long way there, in my (shorter) experience.

Oh my God, Motherload is addictive

Didn't catch the debate at 2am in the UK, will check the various non-bullshit writeups this afternoon.

BTW, for any English - GO ENGLAND, WALES SUCK.

As far as I'm concerned I only have 2 years left anyway. Ever since I can remember, I always though my 38th birthday would be a life defining moment for me. Now, that's not to say I know I'm gonna' die then, but something big will happen and I can't imagine anything bigger than the big exit.

In which case I want to be cremated and have Ravel's Bolero played at my funeral as everyone gets subtly smashed drinking cognac.
Is that alcohol I smell on your breath, sir?

EDIT: I am going to be Che for Halloween this year. It's gonna be sweet (as much as I despise that word). I look vaugely like him, despite the fact that I am of German and English descent.

P.S. The film you all have to see is 'The Motorcycle Diaries'. In particlular, I'd love to see someone like Warhawk see it and get his take.

Viva Che!

Happy level-up day you OLD fucker. And I can't blame you. Watching both those assholes reminds me of Willard's line in Apocalypse Now, 'The bullshit piled up so high so fast you needed wings to stay above it'. Seriously, the amount of bullshit in popular politivs simply boggles the mind.

I was watching Bill O'Reilly on the Daily Show last night and whilst I think the man is still a tabloid journalist asshole with a heavy right bent who panders to his audience because he knows that's where his bread is buttered, he made some really good points. And also like Jon Stewart, I agree the man is not nearly as two dimensional as I thought he was. That surprised me. Now I realise he's just a whore, because what he spouts on Fox and what he's really like aren't quite the same thing. That's ok though, we're all whores - to one degree or another - anyway.

"In this dirty-minded world you are either somebody's wife or somebody's whore - or fast on your way to becoming one or the other. If you don't fit either category, then everybody tries to make you think there is something wrong with you."
- from THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP by John Irving

Is 35 old? Hell I turned 36 in July and I don't feel that much older than I did when I was 30. Given my lifestlye, I'd say it's midlife for me, but I'm cool with that. Like Denis Leary said, "Smoking takes ten years off your life. Well it's the ten worst years, isn't it folks? It's the ones at the end! It's the wheelchair, kidney dialysis, adult diaper fucking years. You can have those years! We don't want 'em, alright?"

As far as I'm concerned I only have 2 years left anyway. Ever since I can remember, I always though my 38th birthday would be a life defining moment for me. Now, that's not to say I know I'm gonna' die then, but something big will happen and I can't imagine anything bigger than the big exit.

In which case I want to be cremated and have Ravel's Bolero played at my funeral as everyone gets subtly smashed drinking cognac.

Never forget what Buckaroo Banzai said..."No matter where you go, there you are."

Happy Birthday Bronco!

35 is only old if you plan on dying before you are 70. Watching that debate certainly took less years off your life if you were drunk than if you were sober Maybe you'll live to see System Shock 3!

... you folks figured out who you're voting for yet?

I'm not saying, but I did finally get my voters' pamphlet today. I love reading about candidates from the "alternate" parties like the "Workers World" and "Constitution" parties. I wonder how long it's been since there hasn't been a Communist candidate (although I can't remember if there was one last election or not).

Well then, happy freaking birthday!

So, is 35 old? I'm thinking yes.

Speaking from personal experience, no, not really. It's really not a bad age, you're old enough to be comfortable in your own skin but young enough that your physical abilities haven't diminished too much yet.

Doesn't seem that absurd to me, particularly given the safety features that are standard. Show me a $14k car with traction control, anti-lock brakes, and electronic braking assist standard.

What the fuck are you talking about? Those things are about as safe as riding in a paper mache car. If a big Ford F150 ploughs into you, you're toast (it happened to me in my old Volvo and I walked away without a scratch). These cars must cost about 10 bucks each to manufacture. It's the fact that it comes from Mercedes that they're overpriced (same as the Mini ala BMW - cute but overpriced). Secondly, they don't want them to sell well because that negates all their arguements about what a bitch it is to make vehicles fuel efficient - and hence negates the need for the hundreds of million the auto industry gets in subsidies. They know where their bread is buttered.

Walter Sobchak : Those rich fucks! This whole fucking thing... I did not watch my buddies die face down in the muck so that this fucking strumpet...
The Dude : I don't see any connection to Vietnam, Walter.
Walter Sobchak : Well, there isn't a literal connection, Dude.
The Dude : Walter, face it, there isn't any connection.
