• Took a little tour of the new Cowboy stadium yesterday for work. If you haven’t seen it in person, you really have no idea how huge this thing is.  Info on volunteer opps for the Superbowl coming in Jan 09.
• I really enjoyed the Obama speech last night. I am looking forward to the debates. Now if I can just get my mom to quit listening to Sean Hannity.
• Good job to whoever produced the the Obama video bio BTW. Very nice.
• I am getting a new office at work and I am psyched about it.  Funny story. My new boss put a request in to IT to move all my computer stuff.  IT came backand said that since I was the one that set up my computer in my old cubicle, I could move myself. This is the 2nd time in two jobs that I have been told to move myself. That’s what I get for being computer “savvy.”
• My 3 year old laptop has a crack on the top of it and it still works. Sometimes.  The screen is starting to flicker but I am not too upset. This thing is a workhorse. One time, my ex  let it slip out of her briefcase from about 4 feet off the ground and it skidded across the parking lot.  Still worked.
• The thought of going to Central Market to buy steaks for this weekend makes me happy.
• I am planning on a low key holiday but I guarantee that my neighbors will be having an ALL NIGHT lawn party.  I am going to sit on my rocking chair on the front porch and yell at kids to get off my lawn!
• I should be on Fox 4 again next month. Maybe.
• I know it’s killing Chip to not be in the chopper. Maybe they could let him do traffic and sports in the morning.
• Speaking of Fox, I had three people recognize me yesterday. And then one of them apologized for bothering me. Apologize? Please… you made my day.  Hell, you made my week.  I promised myself two years ago (after a particularly selfish stupid incident) that I would be as nice and outgoing as possible to anyone who recognizes me. So if you see me and you want to say hi, go for it!
• I am going to lose 10 lbs next month.  In fact, I have a number of fitness related goals that I am going to write down and monitor and hopefully accomplish. I figure if I stare at them, I might do them.
• I rented the TV show Wonderfalls on DVD.  From the same guy who produced Firefly. I have high expectations.
• A few milestones for this website coming up next week.  I will keep you posted.
  

  Um, yeah.

• This week’s random link is: Passive-Aggressive Notes. This little site posts pictures of notes that people have left for random strangers, friends, enemies, etc.  And these notes are usually “passive-agreessive” in nature, i.e., “the classic description of the behavior captures a stubborn malcontent, someone who passively resists fulfilling routine tasks, complains of being misunderstood and underappreciated, unreasonably scorns authority and voices exaggerated complaints of personal misfortune.”  It can be pretty funny, so if you could check out the site, um, that would be great.
