Okay, so now I’m out of the lab and the blind spot has faded – so I’m doing better.

This weekend was pretty passable. Nothing amazing happened and I didn’t feel like the weekend was nearly long enough. I played a lot of WoW – I mean a lot. The big thing on Sunday was starting a new priest character with the specific intent on starting a new guild dedicated solely to priests. I got so sick of waiting to start a raid because we needed a priest, I thought I’d just start a guild that does nothing but collect priests and encourage people to create priest Alts to join. So I spent the day getting my new priest up to lvl 10 and buying the guild charter. Now I just need 7 more people to sign the charter for me.

We took the dogs to PetSmart to buy them food yesterday. I’m not exactly sure why, taking them out is such a hassle that it should be more of an adventure and not just a quick errand, but Heather insisted. Knight had never ridden in Heather’s car before and he leapt all the way across the car when he jumped in. He actually jumped from my side of the car into Heather’s lap. He seemed very confused when he landed. While we were at PetSmart, I started looking at the big 5 gallon watering stations and ended up buying a slightly cheaper 2.75 gallon water station for them. They have this bowl which is not exactly small that they drink from and you pretty much have to fill it up as soon as the finish drinking because the two of them can empty it together. I will be the first to admit that I’m no good at giving my dogs water, so I thought this would be a bit better. It takes longer to fill up, but I don’t have to fill it up as often.

We watched four episodes of Firefly with starburstlvr, blu3warri0r, and his wife on Friday (zero_interrupt and spazzy444 showed up too). I think they’re all hooked and we’ll probably do it again next week. Remember, this week is Movie Night. Picture up at 7:45 as usual.

Anyway, I’m bored, but not bored enough to keep rambling.

I have a blind spot in the middle of my vision. Its as if I looked into a really bright light, but I don’t remember doing so. Its really annoying and I wish it would go away.

In other news, I had seriously considered staying home today, seeing as how incredibly busy we’ve been in the office lately. But then, when I finally decide I might as well go to work, I get a message from Steve saying he will be late and he wants me to open the lab for him. Lucky.

Anyway, I’m having a bitch of a time writing with this blind spot, so I’ll just sign off here.

Firefly came early! Who wants to watch 3-4 episodes on Friday?

so I think this is going to be one of those days… one of those days where I have nothing pressing to do and no motivation to do those things that aren’t pressing. I may declare this a half day and go home early. I could spend the rest of the day sitting around raiding on World of Warcraft.

Speaking of which, my brother did find a 10 day trial, and so far he’s played about 4 hours of that 10 days – and he activated it on Friday. I want to play more with him, even if he does play kind of like he’s on crack. He plays EQ2, so I don’t know that I’m going to get him to convert so I at least wanted to make the best of our 10 days on the same game.

Crap, I was gonna write some other cool stuff here, but now I’m not in the mood to write. Go read someone else’s journal.

Imagine if you were getting paid the same wage/salary as you would have been in 1946? Grain prices have actually dropped $0.02 since 1946. Not surprising that this grain farmer feels this way.

Just remember how good we have it with that 3% anual raise.

A Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair,
And one could tell by how he walked he’d drunk more than his share,
He staggered on until he could no longer keep his feet,
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street..

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.

Later on two young and lovely girls just happened by,
One says to the other, with a twinkle in her eye,
‘See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built,
I wonder if it’s true what they don’t wear beneath their kilt’.

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
I wonder if it’s true what they don’t wear beneath their kilt.

They crept up to the sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be,
Then lifted up his kilt above the waist so they could see,
And there behold for them to view beneath this Scottish skirt,
Was nothing but what God had graced him with upon his birth.

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
Was nothing but what God had graced him with upon his birth.

They marveled for a moment then one said ‘We’d best be gone,
But let’s leave a present for our friend before we move along’,
So as a gift they left a blue silk ribbon, tied into a bow,
Around the bonnie star of that Scot’s kilt to lift and show.

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
Around the bonnie star of that Scot’s kilt to lift and show.

The Scotsman woke to nature’s call and stumbled toward the trees,
Behind a bush he lifts his kilt and he gawks at what he sees,
Then in a startled voice he says to what’s before his eyes,
‘My friend, I don’t know where you’ve been but I see you’ve won first,
prize. First prize, first prize, I see you’ve won first prize’.

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
He said, ‘Lad I don’t know where you’ve been but I see you won
first prize’.


if you have this song, I’d like a copy of it.
