Women, technology and Superman

(are you seeing a pattern?)

Went out to dinner with L-girl today. Ended up also watching a movie. Went to dinner at a restaurant inside a local mall. It was very cold as we sat there eating our food. We decided to walk around the mall but ended up watching a movie we both wanted to see. It was all very nice. I think Superman disapproves. I'm not sure I approve, per se, I just need to get back up on that horse and hanging around with L-girl seems to do the trick.

I also (finally) received my iPod. I had it sent to the office and then I couldn't play with it until Saturday morning. I have loaded all my downloaded stuff on there and it barely scratches the surface towards filling it. I'm now starting to rip all my CD's so I can load them on there as well. It's a long and boring excercise but it will be very cool once I get it done.

Superman and I went out to our favorite 'talkery' (that's where we talk and eat) but ended up not staying very long... so no new ground was covered. He asked if I won any victories for humanity and I admitted that I had not. I didn't realize there was a timeline. Sometimes I feel like his 'project', like I'm almost a playtoy he likes to direct. He has some good ideas but I have a few of my own that I'd like to try. I'm usually the one dispensing the advice so it's hard not to practice what I preach. I like being the type of person who does what he says, although I have told people to do things I'd never do in a million years.

Not much new here, but now I'm caught up.

Top 10 Cartoon Duo's

This time out the subject is Top 10 Cartoon Duo’s. I was only going to make this a Top 5 list but I had so many entries to work with, I added the last 5. Here’s the list is no particular order – wait, that’s not right… 10. Ren & Stimpy: Call this entry the ‘Odd Couple’ of the group. A cat and a dog (I think) living together and making their way despite their obvious instincts to be sworn enemies. I have to admit that this cartoon was hard to watch sometimes because of the ‘gross’ nature of both characters – pooping and boogers a big part of the vernacular. “Oh, Re-e-e-n?”, “Yes, Stimpy!” 9. Inspector Gadget & Penny: An uncle and his niece go around solving crimes against Dr. Claw. It was actually Gadget and his dog, Brain, that tried to solve the crimes and Penny that actually solved them. She would tell Brain the solution and that crazy dog would expend a great deal of energy trying to make the Inspector understand the solution. Finally, when Inspector Gadget would ‘stumble...

The ‘Ol One-Two Punch

In an effort to follow-up on my job hunt, I must tell you that I was not offered a job from either company for which I interviewed. The first company I visited actually had me come back again. I saw this as a good sign. It is generally accepted to inquire about the status of the position a week after interviewing, which I was prepared to do. They couldn’t wait until Thursday and sent me a ‘dear john’ letter on Wednesday. The second company I was pretty sure wasn’t going to make me an offer. When I walked out of the office (after the interview) I just felt like they were looking for someone I’m not. Officially, the owner said he would have a decision made before Friday but, like I said, I’m not holding my breath. He said he had 4 or 5 candidates and – unless all of them decline – I’m not expecting to hear from him. Finding a job is tough. I spend a couple of hours a day looking through all the online postings, waiting to find one for which I’m qualified. It’s almost like begging, which ...

Only Always

Parents – You know, my parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary a few Saturdays ago and I didn’t even mention anything about it. That’s quite an accomplishment. The weather held out (meaning it wasn’t overly hot) but I’m finding that I got bit all to hell by the bugs. My legs are tore up from the floor up. Date – Yea, I had a date on Saturday but it was so un-interesting I didn’t even lead off with it. She had really pretty eyes but that’s all I can say that was positive. Everything else was neutral. I don’t know that I have much else to discuss. I was thinking this was going to be longer but nothing much is happening. Workdays are going by faster because there’s SO much going on and a lot of people are out. One of the women in Accounting just left so it leaves them short-handed. To catch up it is estimated they need about 12 people in that department. Currently there are 2. The woman that reports to me is out on vacation for another week so I continue to do her job. I shoul...
