And to end the day, I am going to hang out with the str8s at Cool River tonite. I'm sure I'll be under-dressed but then again that is not the proper place I would choose to pick up ppl so what do I care. Have a few rounds then go home. How exciting~

I told them I would only pay $50 and there they went...

I am reminded today why I made the infinitely wise decision to move north in December '04. Oh, could it be the endless accidents and slow traffic on MoPac? I thank myself every day for listening to myself and not moving somewhere further from work. To be home in 5 minutes is blessed. Fuck all the suburbanites.

Very cool techie news for a geek like me - beta 1 of Windows Vista (previously Longhorn) released today and since my company is an MSDN subscriber, I plan to be downloading that sucka tonite and installing it. XP has been out almost 4 years now and while it's their best, it's been out for eons in computer-time. Check this site out for more in-depth information on Vista - www.winsupersite.com

(from Brownwood Bulletin 07/25/05)
BANGS -- After approximately three weeks of excavating, paleontologist Scott Clark and his crew have found a bone that has helped them identify the animal located on Ray Barnes Drive.
A 39-inch ulna bone was found, giving Clark 95 percent certainty the bones belong to a Columbian Mammoth. "The bone is typical of elephant-type animals," Clark explained. "The size of the bone, however, puts it well outside the norms of a mastodon." Without carbon dating, Clark estimated the bones to be between 9,000 and 40,000 years old. "It could be as recent as 7000 B.C., which would be near the time of paleolithic man," Clark said.

--Kinda cool to find something so old so close to home. Reminds us that we've only been on this earth for a very short time.

I like the white on black easier. I discovered that there were display issues with IE and Firefox that I wasn't aware of. This template doesn't have so much code mucking up the page.

when you email someone and they never email back, especially when 3 out of 4 emails they reply to you, but certain ones, they do not. alas, i don't use the phone because 90% of communiques are done via email. it's the 21 century. geez. people are flakes...

King County sheriff's detectives are investigating the owners of an Enumclaw-area farm after a Seattle man died from injuries sustained while having sex with a horse boarded on the property.
Investigators first learned of the farm after the man died at Enumclaw Community Hospital July 2. The county Medical Examiner's Office ruled that the death was accidental and the result of having sex with a horse.
A surveillance camera picked up the license plate of the car that dropped the man off at the hospital, which led detectives to the farm and other people involved, said sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart.
Deputies don't believe a crime occurred because bestiality is not illegal in Washington state and the horse was uninjured, said Urquhart.
But because investigators found chickens, goats and sheep on the property, they are looking into whether animal cruelty — which is a crime — was committed by having sex with these smaller, weaker animals, he said.
The farm was talked about in Internet chat rooms as a destination for people looking to have sex with livestock, he said.
"A significant number of people, we believe, have likely visited this farm," said Urquhart.
The Humane Society of the United States intends to use the case during the next state legislative session as an example of why sex with animals should be outlawed in Washington, said Bob Reder, a Humane Society regional director in Seattle.
"This and a few other cases that we have will allow us a platform to talk about sex abuse of animals," Reder said.
Thirty-three states ban sex with animals, he said.
Susan Michaels, co-founder of local animal-rights organization Pasado's Safe Haven, said she has been fighting to have bestiality made illegal. "It's animal cruelty behind closed doors," Michaels said.

And to think, the Republican Party thinks homos are nasty, vile, sinful beings.

my brain is turning to mush - i am testing software - it is so fucking boring i want to die - who gets off on this shit, who likes it, who wants to do this all day. i work with computers, but i work ON them, i fix them, i make them better, i don't sit and stare at a screen and make sure that a picklist or dialog box works. barf~

i think it might rain outside - KEYE radar shows lots of pretty red meaning a storm is a-comin' - but alas all i can do is hope.

finally saw "Office Space" in its entirety last night and now I get it. now i get it. my career life to date has been this movie. the first place most definitely, the second place a little less extreme. i realize more and more that the old mantra of "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" is NOT applicable to me. why the fuck would i want to the join the arrogant, WASP-y republican troupe?! i would rather quit my job and work at a record store or serve food than pretend to like golf or be a pretentious asshole or do the circle-jerk under the conference room table.

so i am back from the Cape...awesome beyond imagination...ppl were cool...weather was almost perfect, beating the 104 in Austin...no annoying blonde cracker bitches...Provincetown was a gay man's wet dream...took lotsa pics, soon to share online if you haven't gotten them emailed already...looking forward to going back in 2006...fantastic use of $500...what else can i say, i loved it!
