Work: Got some Perl stuff pretty much finished up. Now I get to start in on the Content Management System. Judo: Taught a couple new members three throws: sasae-tsurikomi-ashi, ippon-seoi-nage, and uki-goshi. Weather: Rainy all day; supposed to rain all night. Plus we’re getting a spot of lightning and thunder, the first I’ve seen since, …

I think we should’ve taken–” “If you say ‘a right turn at Albuquerque’ one more time, I swear by all that’s holy, I will punch you in the nose.” “…Fine. Okay. So it’s not funny after a hundred thousand times. …

Previous entries: Part 1, Part 2. We got back to Edmonton and dropped the car off. Over half the deposit I’d put on it got refunded, since we didn’t keep the car the full week. That was pleasant. My memory grows hazy of what we did–I know there was much playing with little Miss J, …
I have GMail. I use GMail a lot. GMail has some built-in spam filters. It’s rare, in fact, that an email makes it to my inbox offering to enhance or expand my body parts, or give me 10% of the Crown Prince of Nigeria’s money transfers, or anything of the like. Every once in a while, …
…or is that 40 odd etc? You be the judge. Just as long as you’re not jury and executioner too. Enough blather. Here we go: 1. What time did you get up this morning? 7:45 AM. 2. Diamonds or Pearls? Which one’s going for more these days? 3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? …
For those of you that are interested in writing: check out Ficlets.
