Shooting yourself into a second date.
Got shot? Why not drive yourself to the hospital? That leaves your friends free to find the cops. Convenient!

10:48:00 PM by mark *: 405is part of the short film explosion around the web. It's as mind bogglingly cool as two guys in their basement, making millions of dollars in movie SFX look like a waste. folks, the next Stanley Kubrick may be living next door to you; his PC and a few hundred dollars will command your attention in a few years like NOTHING in Hollywood EVER DID
10:44:00 PM by mark *: Generally I decry the litigious nature of today's society (dem big wurds mean me no likey law-yers or dem writs and suits n stuff) but I think this guy may be barking up the right tree. And BTW, I do love The Smoking Gun. Bringing you only the purest high drama in nasty scanned form.
1:11:00 AM by mark *: Not bad at all, a fine pick for film of the year. A must see raved the critic. etc etc etc. Computer Boy May be the best produced Matrix spoof we see all year. And that includes the poignant fact that this is the first Matrix spoof I've seen.

"Thinness is never associated with sexuality," said Watson, 72. Posh Spice and Calista Flockhart might smile for the photographers, he claimed, but beneath their sleek exteriors lurk miserable thin souls.
Emphasis is mine

So I'm struggling with a number of competing interests this weekend.

First, thanks to my friends at the office, I now have a Visor, aka Gameboy for Adults. Learning the damn Graffitti would be easier if you didn't have to install a game to find out what all the strokes were.
Then, of course, the old stand by for the past year, EverQuest. Tho I haven't yet done the mega update to my EQ Fashion page.
The new game in the arsenal, Diablo ][. My amazon is level 13 after two days and she has died exactly once =P
Work, I'm stuck on how to express something in code and it's driving me nuts.
Bud and I have been talking language design, as in coding language, not that Esperanto crap.
Blog stuff, I have part of an extensible uber cooperative blog design in my head. Blogger has been great but I'm ready to move on. Ken grabbed WebLog.Org so I may go in with him on it. Neither of us or our other friends have the gumption to keep up a blog full time but between us all it should be quite good and as a bonus squelch a lot of link-mail.
And last but not least, I'm supposed to be working on a version of "Tri-Peaks" for my mom. She loves this card game but it eats her harddrive. Python to the rescue! PySol is extensible and has like 200+ other card and related games.

Sigh

Now this should make you happy, if you are a Geek: Bastardized Blade (28) or start at the beginning. I laughed, anyway.

We ate at Hooters tonite. On the menu now is "New! Cheesecake." Like serving cheesecake is NEW for them =P
While there, try the In Case of Boss button.
