Of mice and men

Damn you hypocrites and cowards who think you're gods behind your stupid keyboards, but can't even look at me straight in the eye!

Like I said, too bad they won't be able to read this.

'ol Danny boy

I know it's kinda late but...

The NZ All Blacks won against the AU Wallabies in last Saturday's Tri-Nations match, 30-13. *clap clap
The All Blacks started out kinda sleepy as usual, but managed to win 30 points straight.
It was the first time I saw that many players bowing out of the game due to injury.

Too bad Dan Carter was one of them. He won't be playing for the rest of the Tri-Nations matches, so that means he'll be at the benches in his suit and perpetual cowlick again. *grin

I'm an All Blacks fan.
Are you?

dumber than dumb

Me: Hi. Please send me a PSD file of your flyer.
Client: Flattened or layered?
Me: Layered.
Client: We only have tif and jpeg. Which one do you need?

I'm not saying that I'm smart.

But some people are just dumber than a toad waiting for the planet Venus to fall into his muddy little pond because he thought Venus was a space ship piloted by an alien toad who has a good recipe for toasted fruit fly.

Somebody please kill me now.

No comment.

Tell me honestly.
Am I being a jerk?
Am I not doing my job?
Or maybe I'm just not doing my job well.
Maybe I'm not ready for that step up the ladder yet.
Maybe I'm just not the type to mingle with "politicians."
Is it the caffeine not in my system?
Is it my temper?
Or do I just need a vacation?
(But of course, most of the questions here can only be answered by the people who don't read this.)

I wish it was heart disease.

GodSpeed.


I watch CSI: Miami on and off and I'm not exactly the show's biggest fan, but I would have to admit that I was saddened by the death of CSI Tim Speedle.


Why am I always saddened by deaths of fictitious TV characters, especially the regulars?

Heck, I couldn't sleep when Xena died even if I knew that she was gonna die in the end. Speaking of -- where's that Xena movie? It's 2005 already! Lucy's gonna be 40 in 3 years!

Coffee bean, tea leaf, cocoa


I've been caffeine-free for three whole days.

It's not easy to be standing by the cashier at Starbucks and looking at the menu while hearing people ordering Choco Frapps and Cafe Mochas and smelling fresh coffee being poured into mugs and looking at honey being poured into hot tea.

"Cafe Mocha with non-fat milk for Mary Anne."

It's like Warrick (of CSI) investigating a body inside a Vegas casino.

Ka-ching! Ka-ching!

Let's see how long I'm gonna last without coffee, tea, and chocolates.

The Sweater

This is too cute I just have to steal a little company time to post this. If you want to hear the song, just tell me and I'll e-mail the mpeg to you.

The Sweater
by Meryn Cadell

Girls,
I know you will understand this
and feel the intrinsic incredible emotion
You have just pulled over your head the worn,
warm sweater belonging to a boy
Now, you haven't had a passionate kissing session or anything,
but you got to go on a camping trip with him
and eight other people from school
And you practically slept together,
your sleeping bag right next to his
And you woke in the night to watch him as he slept
but you couldn't see anything 'cause it was dark
so you just laid there and listened to his breathing
and wondered if your heart might burst
The sweater has that slightly goat-like smell
which all teenage boys possess,
and that smell will lovingly transfer
to all your other clothes
If you get to keep it for a few days you can sleep with it
but don't let your mom see, 'cause she'll say,
"what is that filthy thing, and who does it belong to
besides the trash man?"
So you have to keep it under the covers with you
You can kind of lie it beside you,
or wrap it around your waist,
or touch it on your legs, or whatever
That's your business
Now if the sweater has, like, reindeer on it
or is a funny color like yellow... I'm sorry,
you can't get away with a sweater like that
Look for brown, or grey, or blue
Anything other than that, and you know you're dealing with
someone who's different
And different is NOT what you're looking for
You're looking for those Alpine ski-chiseled features
and that sort of blank look which passes for deep thought
or at least the notion that someone's home
You're looking for the boy of your dreams
who is the same boy in the dreams of all your friends
Now the sweater isn't going to fit you of course,
you have to kinda roll up the sleeves in a jaunty way
Saying "this is the sweater belonging to a boy and
the boy is a genuine hunka-hunka burning love and
is not just some hand-me-down from your
brother or father"
Monday, wear the sweater to school
Be calm, look cute
Don't tell him about the dream you had
about the place the two of you would share
when you get older
Just be yourself
The best, cutest, quietest version of yourself
Definitely wear lip gloss
He looks at you, and then he looks away
And then he walks away
and the smell of the sweater hits you again suddenly
like ape-scent gloriola
and you get a note passed to you
by a girl in History that says
"He needs that sweater back.
He forgot you put it on in the tent on Saturday
and he's been looking for it."
And you don't have to die of humiliation, you know
You are a strong person
and this is a learning experience
You can still hold your head up high as you run from the classroom
tearing the stinking sweater from your body.
You look at that sweater
carefully
and you realize that love made you temporarely blind.
You've got a secret now, honey,
and though you'd never sink as low as him,
you could blab it all over the school if you wanted
The label in that sweater
said "100% Acrylic"

X for Xena

They're naming a newly-discovered planet / asteroid (the astronomical geeks are still debating what it really is) 'Xena'.

Dr Brown and his team have christened it Xena, after the warrior princess in the old television series, "... because we always wanted to name something Xena". But the formal decision on a name will be made by the International Astronomical Union. -- The New Zealand Herald

Er...ok.

Well, it's either Planet Xena or Planet 2003UB313.

Does this mean Planet Xena's satellite is gonna be called 'Gabrielle'?
Aww...brings tears to your eyes, doesn't it?

Wheee.
