And now, some culture...
Fart: A Haiku

Warm pants, a low mist
An odd aroma, not love
Breathe deep, enjoy
Thank you! Thank you all! If you're good, I may treat you to another before this post is over...
How was my day today? Well, if it were possible to take a day, capture it, take it to Kinkos, pay 89 cents to make a color copy, then take the copy and load it into the slot for the next day, and then live that copied day, so that you can't really tell the difference between the original day and the copy? Yeah, sort of like that. Typical summer day, which is not necessarily a bad thing, considering I live in San Diego... although we could sure use some rain. And a new governor. And heck, some new senators as well. You know what? Just get rid of all the current politicians, from the Governor all the way down to little city councils and school boards, and replace them all with people that know what they're doing and give a crap.
That's the end of my political rant.
Actually, a quick addendum: I think Sarah Palin is retarded. Was she really almost our Vice President? Are you kidding me?
OK, that's the end of the political rants. I promise.

Smile, feign great concern
Speaking what you want to hear
We are greedy pricks
Thank you all! Thank you all, from the bottom of my large intestines!
I've been playing a few more practice skirmishes against the computer in Warcraft 3. On the easiest possible difficulty. And I get annihilated every time. On the easiest setting... I know, I know... it breaks my heart as well... cheer up, I shall improve in time. If not, I shall track down a patch that will make the computer opponent brain dead. Or find a tutorial or three that will help me modify my strategy away from my "floundering newbie of doom" approach to something a little more competent...
I Suck at Warcraft 3: A Haiku

Many games, click, click
I excel at almost all
Except Warcraft 3
Thank you all! As a reward, Funny Picture Time!
I'm enjoying Best Served Cold still.. It's a pretty harsh, action packed tale of pain, betrayal, and revenge - just like real life! There's this one part where the main character [Editing out inconsiderate spoiler], and then her brother was [another spoiler edited out... Dave just doesn't seem to get it], oh, but the best part was when the alchemist went [So help me, if I have to edit one more spoiler...], and it was hilarious! But gross at the same time. That's something I don't understand with Abercrombie... he really doesn't seem to care if his characters just [the next time I see Dave, I will kick him in the groin until he learns...]. But I'm only 150 pages in... I'll let you all know what happens next. [No you won't.]

Well, the family is back from their trip to Newport, tanned and happy. Took wifey out to eat tonight, then we walked the mall, eating yogurt with lots of yummies sprinkled on top. You gotta love yogurt with sprinkled yummies on it... and we saw Joseph and his wife Sara there! That was so cool, I haven't seen Joseph in forever. He looked great. And then, as we were leaving, we saw my mom! It was cool. Actually, Marla spotted both Joseph and my mom... I'm so oblivious, I would have just walked right by them both. I just kind of sink into my own little world sometimes, completely clueless... if she hadn't smiled and waved to Joe, he would have thought I ignored him, and it would have sucked. Joe! You're the man! It was great to see you! And mom, you're the man too! Oh, you know what I mean!
What do I have planned for the weekend? Saturday is RebJo's party. Sunday I pick Josh up from the airport in the afternoon. Josh owns, I look forward to meeting him. I hope it's an awesome trip. I think we're going to go to the Padres/Braves baseball game at Petco Park on either Monday or Tuesday, I don't recall. That should be fun; it's a great ballpark. I try to remember to take some pics to post up here. He's staying until Wednesday.
Todayve in History: August 1

- August 1, 1941: The first Jeep is produced.
- August 1, 1944: Anne Frank makes the last entry in her diary. (It was, "Man, Nazi's suck.")

- August 1, 1988: Rush Limbaugh begins his national radio show. (For better or for worse, depending on how you lean.)
And with that, I am done. Congrats to Havah for winning the Movie Quote Contest for July. I'll try to think up a suitable reward. I assume we shall reset the scoreboard for August, but who knows what tomorrow holds? I may come up with another contest...
Until tomorrow, this is Dave the Scatterbrain, signing off..
