I wonder what Jeee's doing right about now...

Welp, at this point -- not jumping for joy.

Sorry, Jeee -- team Orange played great, but Spain consistently had the edge.

I just realized recently, that after my entire life of being a sock-sock, shoe-shoe person, I have somehow transitioned to being sock-shoe, sock-shoe.

And it's everything I'd hoped it could be.

That sounds scary and strange. I like being a sock-sock, shoe-shoe person.

Speaking of putting clothes on... You know how people say we're all the same because we all put our pants on one leg at a time... That always made me question things because I put both legs in my pants at the same time.

I hope you are sitting when you do that, otherwise the slightest miscalculation could go very bad.

I think I'll make an instructional video.

An instructional video of you jumping in and out of pants two legs at a time?

If only there were an audience for things like that...

Are there any videos of someone putting pants on ass first, then two legs, and finally two feet?  I'd like to see that.

I write my blog like David Foster Wallace. I have yet to check any of my poetry or manuscripts.

David Foster Wallace for one of the poem I wrote.

J.D. Salinger and Stephen King for two different parts of the same short story as well?

I think it IS random.

I don't think it's random.  Everything I've checked with it comes back "Stephen King".  At least as far as my prose is concerned.

Ok, this one got me promoted to Isaac Asimov.

Not much of a promotion, but I'll take it.

Sometimes you just do what you gotta do.

"Do you want it now, or do you want it right?" is almost always answered "now AND right", which translates to "now".

Also, cable organizing and labeling is analogous to software documenting.

I went back to my old blog and my old journal and got just about everyone.  I'm inconsistent as pi.  The James Joyce one really surprised me.  I should have documented it but I didn't.  Maybe if I get time I'll try some of my posts from here.
