Happy b-day to laxducky!!

Have a slug of grog, me hearty, before ye walk the plank! It’ll make ye feel better than a barnacle on the bilge keel!

Pope Benedict XVI unloaded on Islam…just considering that he’s the Pope, and all, I’d say it’s unloading.

Pictures of LEM #13, the one that was supposed to fly with Apollo 18, but never did because of budget cuts.

Cubs lose 🙁

So, I ran out of kitten food this morning, so I tried a lil experiment. I gave Wrigley Penny’s food. So, they have the same food today. I put Wrigley’s food down, and he happily munches. I put Penny’s food down, and he goes over and shoves her out of the way of her bowl. Now I know for sure that he’s just being a greedy lil bastard and not just preferring the taste of Penny’s food 😛

So, Wrigley is one greedy lil bastard. He’s been consistently eating out of Penny’s bowl. I don’t know if there’s much I can do about it, except maybe change his food to the same brand that Penny’s is. Maybe that’d have him eating out of his own bowl more. Anyhoo, it sucks because it leaves Penny with nothing–or Wrigley’s kitten food. I’m thinkin’ it might be best to let Penny handle it. If Penny gets hungry enough, she’ll kick Wrigley’s ass for her food. In theory. Anyhoo, all of the huffing and puffing I do at Wrigley means jack, because he just heads straight back to her bowl just minutes after. Ugh.

It’s been a good week, so far. I’m glad it’s a short one. It’s getting cooler around here, which totally rocks. I’m all about some Autumn.

The weekend was pretty awesome. Saturday was a LAN. FEAR Combat was played a bunch of the time. Very awesome game. On Monday, Ruthie and I hung out at my parents. We had some burgers for lunch and played some Night Sky Monopoly. That evening, we went over to visit with some friends and talked about WoW a good bit of the time.

The Great Ham Cannon Test

Is it just me, or does the guy who’s “feeding” the pig look like Putin?

Today is one of those days. I can tell already, and I just woke up. I got plenty of sleep last night and yet I’m uber sleepy this morning. Figures 😛 Bah, maybe I’m just uber relaxed from a good night sleep.

I just won War of the Worlds, Season One off of eBay. I watched the series when I was a kid. Like most SciFi, I just gobbled it right up. It’s interesting, because it’s a continuation of the classic movie made in 1953 produced by George Pal, who produced and directed a good number of SciFi classics back in the 50s and 60s, among which were When Worlds Collide, Destination Moon and The Time Machine. Anyhoo, this series harkens back to my childhood. I bet it will be a helluva lot more cheesy than the coolness I thought it was in those days 🙂 Ya never know.

I got a new lawn mower. Someone where my mom works refurbishes old lawn mowers, so he sold it to me for $30. It’s in great shape, though, and looks like it’ll last a lil while. Perhaps a lil while will become a long while. It’s not like my wee lil yard will beat the thing to a bloody pulp…I hope.

Knology (the cable company) still hasn’t buried a cable that it laid out there when I asked for an outlet in one of the bedrooms. Looks like I’ll have to get my complainin’ on 😛
