thirtysomething...

What. Like you've never read the newspaper while riding the elevator...



More Pics from the Disney Trip. Well, the ones I have uploaded... And yes, we're still in WDW. :)

For Saturday to be over. For two reasons. One is a long term(-ish) goal, and the second is more immediate.

The Long Term(-ish):
1. I'll be done with work & on my way to catch a plane to The Happiest Place on Earth.

The more immediate/annoying reason:
2. The South Carolina Republican Primary will have happened.

I'm quite tired of ignoring the ringing telephone with 800 numbers and New York area code prefixes. Apparently the GOP thinks I am a registered Republican (which I'm not) or that I may swing vote to the dark side (which I won't). They've called 3 times tonight. In the span of one TV show. Luckily at La Casa Púrpura we have Caller ID, and it shows up on the TV. But still, it rings and rings and rings and rings until voice mail picks up. And then I have to go check the message just to make sure it wasn't someone I need to ring back.

It has gone on for 2 weeks now. Thankfully we'll be in Sunny Florida when the SC Democratic Primary rolls around next week. That's all I need now is Clinton and Obama going at it on my voicemail. Hilary already called twice last week asking for The Wife. Didn't want to speak to me either time. Bitch.

One good thing has come out of all this nonsense: I know my dog isn't a Paultard. Seems that Ron Paul and his Lemming Flock of Paultards stole a blimp last week, painted "Ron Paul: Who is He?" on the sides and buzzed the downtown peninsula for 2 days. In the rain. And high winds. I was letting the dog out to take a crap Sunday afternoon and she went ape-shit barking at that damn blimp. Not like she does when she wants the squirrels to come down out of the pecan tree so she can eat 'em. It was like she was trying to intimidate a grizzly into backing out of a mauling. Greatest thing that dog has ever done. Well besides eating her own poop when she shits in the house so I don't have to clean it up.

The dog might really be a Republican (she is a dog after all, what does she really know) but I at least know she's not a Complete Idiot.

3 Days... The last load of laundry is in the dryer. Soon I'll have another ticket to add to my collection. Here's the most recent one (from May 2007) -->

See the timer? :)

Hopefully my cold will be gone by then. I had it around Christmas, passed it on to The Wife. She was so thankful, she passed it back. Mutated. Great.

According to Nikon, my camera has been repaired and is in final billing. :eek3: I've already seen the estimate before work began and hopefully it isn't much over that. What is the likelihood that I'll have it back in time for the trip? I'm not holding my breath, but I'll definitely cross fingers.

Oh yeah. You guys have to check out one of my latest purchases. Just so you know, I love playing cards. I picked up 2 decks at a new magic shop in town. Very cool. They have a couple-o-three gaffed cards, but those got thrown out. I haven't done card tricks in Years. I bought these two decks, well, cause they're cool.

Anyway, here's a pic of one of the decks:

The Black Bicycle


The other deck is yellow.
