… something to write home about.

• Fighting through a rather nasty headache today. Wish there was a notable and honorable cause, rather than the fact that my body hates me. #

• At my nephew’s birthday party and it’s reinforced that I’m missing the car obsession gene from the Hansen genome. It must be recessive… #
• I’m curious - do these decals on your cars indicate the fatalies, like WWII pilots? 4 kids, 2 adults, the FSM, and a dog? For shame… #
• Pirate walks into a bar with a ship’s wheel stuck on the front of his pants. Barkeep: “What’s with the wheel?” Pirate: “It drives me nuts!” #
• Telling jokes in 140 characters or less requires cutting to the chase, then cutting even more. They may suck, but they are all mine, baby. #
• http://twitpic.com/dtvd - Best.T-shirt.EVER! The best part is that the joke only truly works if you live here and understand the culture. #

• In the season 1 last episode of The Venture Brothers, there are beautiful nods to final scenes from Easy Rider and Cowboy Bebop. Gorgeous! #

• Whoo! My Chinese Visa was approved so now I can fly half way around the world and work 12 hour days in a country where I don’t fit in. #
• @MaryRobinette re: Dark Crystal screening - I am *seething* with envy. Okay, not really but quite envious all the same. in reply to MaryRobinette #

• Was gonna tell the missus she had me around so she’d have something to complain about. She’d disagree, proving my point. Didn’t; lumpy sofa. #
• "Dude! Stop wailing on my junk!" — Hank Venture, the Venture Brothers #

• If you are the boss, pay your employees. If you haven’t done so in four months, don’t be surprised if they defect en masse. Jus’ sayin’. #
• @MaryRobinette Have you tried running those apps under Wine? in reply to MaryRobinette #

• @MaryRobinette It could also be that you cat missed you and is showing affection… nah, I’m sure you’re right, must be the weather… in reply to MaryRobinette #

• More military involvement; Major Fundraising has made an appearance and has been mentioned in several missives. No high level brass yet #
