Custom Kitchen Deliveries

Original Title: Look at the street, it's time to eat!

First off:

I am going to be screwing around with the template for next few days. Here is why:

Ranchoweb.com is the site I use for the imagehosting on this site. As of March 1, 2003, Ranchoweb.com will no longer be providing free services. And seeing as how Gale is too cheap to pay the something like .84 a month for their image hosting, he will end up creating a template that uses no pictures.

Until I can find another site to host my images for free that is.

Next off:

I am seriously thinking about getting my mom to fly me down to Sarasota, Florida for a few days next week.

And Finally (It is a good one this time!):

I think that when it comes to the whole "some chick or other rather likes me thing" I am completely blind to it. If not blind, then at least slow to realizing it. Here is why:

This chick I know. Just met her a few weeks ago. Great chick. I more or less took an instant liking to her. Which has, over the last few weeks, grown to something totally other on my part.

I have this suspicion that she rather likes me too. I don't know why I think this either. Could it be the constant touching me thing? could it be the fact that she yelled "I love you Gale!" rather loudly as she was going home the other day?

The world might already know, but I sure don't!

I wish I did though.

I Put Your Picture Away

Original Title: Dag

I keep telling myself that I will NOT go and read her diary. Yet, about this time each week I just type it into the little address bar, and go read backward through the entries until I hit the last one I read.

It would seem that my friend wants nothing more to do with me. That is just fine and dandy, but I would at least be interested in knowing what it was that I did to begin with.

Alas, that knowledge will never be mine I fear.

All I know is my friend now wishes not to speak to me, and it hurts. Far more than I would ever admit verbally. If there is something bothering me, and you want to know what it is, you usually have to be really persistant and annoying to get it out of me.

Even that rarely works.

Ah well. I reek of Comet. I must make that smell go away.

Goodnight all

I'll Write My Suicide Note On A Hundered Dollar Bill

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

I was thinking today. I don't think my car was destroyed as a result of an ice patch. I was looking at it, but my thought process was, at the time, a bit muddled. As I stood there looking over the car, and studying where the wheel used to be. Then I walked over to the wheel in question (quite a walk). The tire had completely seperated from the rim. It would seem more likely that I hit a pothole or something, the tire came loose. While one is cruising down the interstate, and one has a tire that decides to go "pfft!," rumor has it, those things happen.

Ah well. I have my bearings now.

When My Ugly Big Car Won't A-climb This Hill

Original Title: Dag!

 

Yup. Well. Destroyed my car today.

I was driving along on I-465, hit a patch of ice, rolled the mother trucker at least 3 times, landed it upsidedown in the ditch. It was apparently so amazing that I was able to crawl out of what was left of the window and walk around. There were lots of people who were all about helping. That was nice. The cop accused me of smoking marijuana before i got in the car. Turned out to be the van I was in.

But I got searched for free! Whoo!

They would not let me work when I got there. Dag.

That's The Way To Do It

 

Armed With Screwdriver, Man Robs At Least 10 Stores

Police Warn Screwdriver Is Dangerous Weapon

MERRIAM, Kan. -- Police are searching for a masked robber who has hit 10 stores in the area armed with a screwdriver, KMBC reported.

Yasir Farooqui was robbed in Merriam by the suspect Tuesday afternoon.

"It's like you feel like, you know, somebody came into your house and stole whatever they want," Farooqui said.

Police warn that a screwdriver can be a dangerous weapon.

"We wouldn't recommend anyone offer resistance to him. A screwdriver can kill you just like a knife can," said Sgt. Joe Wellington with the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department.

Tuesday, the suspect demanded money and cigarettes from Farooqui, who gave up the goods.

Then the suspect drove off in a white, four-door car.

The suspect, who is described as a white man about 6 feet tall with a medium build, has robbed stores in both Kansas and Missouri, police say.

"He's hit Roeland Park, Mission, Merriam, Shawnee, Prairie Village and Kansas City," Wellington said.

Farooqui said that he felt violated but is glad he wasn't hurt.

"The money isn't worth your life, you know? He took a few thousand bucks. That's fine, as long as I'm not injured. That's all that matters," Farooqui said.

If you have any information about the robberies, police ask that you call the TIPS hot line at (816) 474-TIPS.

Chicks For Free

Original Title: ¡Stuff!

¡Hola!

I started on two books yesterday! The Roads Between The Worlds and The Original Hitchhiker Radio Scripts.

Whoo!

Great fun at work the last few days. We got a new manager chick. for awhile anyway. She seems nice enough. She has lasted through 3 days of training, so she will probably finish at least. Enough about me.

Wait. That does not work. "More about me" should be the phrase used there!

So...

I bought the coolest record this afternoon! Cheap Trick At Budokan. The LP. 2.98 at Half Price Books. I also bought Been A Long Time by Double Trouble (Stevie Ray's former band), and another (my 4th) copy of the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.

Gads. I need to get up early again today. Goodnight all!

Hi Ho Hi Ho

Hi Ho Hi Ho It's Off To The Army I Go!

Several things happened today.

1. It is my "Friend's" birthday.

2. I have started my new book.

3. There is nothing to write here

Pertaining to #1--

Happy birthday again! I would say "You know who you are!" but seeing as how you have never seen the site, you probably don't care that it is here!

Pertaining to #2--

I started reading "A Nomad of The Time Ssreams - A Scientific Romance" by Michael Moorcock this afternoon. It is the first book in my 100 books in a year goal. I am working on putting a page together that lists the title, author, number of pages, date started, amd date completed so all of you out there may track my progress. I will also put down my opinion of the book in question as an added bonus. I might make the title a link to another page that has reviews or something cool like that.

Pertaining to #3--

Why did you even bother looking here???

Also. While I was cleaning at work tonight, I remembered the bit about a "S.E.P. Field" from "Life, The Universe, And Everything" by Douglas Adams (Yes, that trilogy will be up there on the list too! look for it!). Basically the theory behind a S.E.P. (Someone Else's Problem) Field is this:

You see something that clashes with your comfortable view of reality, and your brain says "That is really odd and wrong! I will pretend that it is not there and let someone else deal with it!" The human brain then filters the object completely out.

Here is the scene: about 4 feet inside the door, behind the counter at work. placed in the approximate center of the aisle. Right in the way (We are talking "knock it over or walk around it" in the way). Standing upright on the bristles. Balancing perfectly.

My test was simple. I stood a broom up. Then I walked off. I kept an eye on the broom.

A few minutes later, a co-worker came walking through. He walked right around the broom. I waited a few minutes to make sure he was not going to grab it or anything and then walked up to him. I said "Did you see the broom or did your brain say "Hmm...That broom is standing up. That is not supposed to happen. I will therefore pretend like it is not there!" and then proceed to filter it out."

His response was "What broom?"

I pointed. He looked. Then said "Filtered it out." and went back to what he was doing as though the broom was not even there.

I left it there. Another co-worker came by. Walked around it 4 times at least in the course of 10 minutes. Shortly thereafter he was freaking out because he could not find it, and I was laughing so hard that I almost hurt myself.

Gads. One would think that you could invade a country in a similar fashion. Give your army pink uniforms, then station them strategically throughout the capitol city. What would you think if you saw some random crumb-bum dressed in pink standing on a street corner? You would probably pretend that he does not exist. Which is perfect for the invaders! At the specified time come strolling into wherever the government is and say "Oh, by the way. It would appear that we have you surrounded. Feel free to surrender."

Wow. I almost feel like I would have a future in the Army. I actually happen to know that I WOULD if ever I wanted!

And I Know You Never Read A Book

Original Title: 100 Books In 365 Days

I decided tonight that from the time I start the next book in the series I am reading until that day next year, I am going to attempt to read 100 books. Seems a fairly reasonable goal. I don't think it will be much of a challenge, but I will try.
