Povert

Drove down to Madison yesterday to meet up with Chris and Stephanie. We ended up going to some insane deli. It came as no suprise to me that it was recommended by Erik.

Then we headed to downtown Madison. I’ll put a couple pics up later. Pretty nice area. Nice campus. They also served beer on campus. As a NMSU alum, this blew my mind. I had to fill out some evil paperwork to get the beer, but we made it happen.

I complained a lot about MN weather. However, I came across this today: Super Bug Sweeps San Diego.

That’s one point for MN — no superbug. Also no hantavirus (take a bow, NM). Ok, so there’s West Nile up here, but I don’t think people get boils or vomit their liquified pancreas due to that.

I’ll post more stuff later. Just testing out some software.

A few random things –

Sonic Youth and Flaming Lips are playing at the MN Fair next Thursday. Word. Haven’t seen Sonic Youth since their A Thousand Leaves tour back in 97 or 98. Their new album (Rather Ripped) is really good, BTW.

Probably heading to Madison, WI to meet up with Chris on Monday. Haven’t seen him for 3 years, I think. And I get to meet the girlfriend. And pick on her. Because that’s the kind of jerk I am. Yeah, I’m that guy.

Other than that, it’s life as usual. Work work work. I wake up in the morning with algorythms in my head. Came up with an interesting Greasemonkey script the other day, but it’s not really applicable outside of our company, so no sense talking much about it. But it’s pretty effective, and writing those scripts is fun.

Probably working on some Flapping Crane stuff this weekend. I think we’ve all been in summer lethargy mode.

“I had been doing pretty good, but on the last hand we went all in, I had a straight and Joe had a full house. Joe took me to the cleaners. Life just ain’t fair sometimes.”

That’s right. Jacks over eights.

(Texas Hold ‘em, BTW)

We then decided it would be best to focus our product and have decided to go with glass dildos for now.

I really don’t know what to say. It’s such an astonishing sentence.
