Today's featured shit

I know that you have to perform Web site maintenance sometime, but I don’t think Friday afternoon in Silicon Valley is the right time for it. Even we manage to get out on Saturday nights, but on Friday? A lot of us are still working or would at least be trying to. Bad call.

It’s finally cool enough to work from home, but in the heat of the moment (literally), I committed to lunch today, so I am off to the office. Oh well. Next week, if I get my way, I won’t come in at all, and then I’ll really stick it to ’em. But who is this “them” that I am sticking it to? Still trying to figure that one out.

It doesn’t even feel that bad. It doesn’t feel cold, but it’s become bearable. This helps my theory of whether I could make it in Vegas full time. Apparently you do acclimate to weather. I’m actually saying, “It’ll only be 94 today.” Maybe the heat’s just got to me.

Also, I read that a lot of the World Series of Poker dealers at Harrah’s are walking out on the job, leaving inexperienced replacements in their wake. Sounds like an opportunity.

Anyway, bump the probability of me going to Las Vegas to run out the clock as a dealer to 40 percent. Whether it’s snap (that is what they call blackjack), dice (craps) or poker (dunno what their slang is for that), I am sure there are plenty of spots available for a sap like me. Target date is winter 2009, because my gym membership runs out December 2008. There is no Bally Total Fitness in Las Vegas because they don’t want to confuse people. They are separate companies, despite both using the same script “B” in their logos.

Everything is hot butter face.

That was fast. It hasn’t even been open that long. Boyd bought it from Coast Casinos. It would make one think that they will change the name. Coast also recently sold the Barbary Coast, so who knows what the hell they are up to.

You know how sometimes when a concept is questioned how you call someone to verify it? Well, I just got a call from someone that wanted to know how long it took to drive somewhere out of state, and I gave the same answer they did without knowing it! That’s better support than you get from a sports bra.

It’s prolly too late for me to not have cataracts when I get old, but just in case, I will have prescription sunglasses in about four hours. Finally, I can drive into the sun! This will be much safer than driving in reverse all the time.

People often complain about how politicans do not truly represent them. You have to remember how many people these politicians are supposed to represent. Honestly, maybe some of these guys aren’t really representing those that voted them into office, but you’re never going to know for sure. It’s not something you can quantify.

There is nothing wrong with being upset at what politicians do, and there is certainly nothing wrong with voting, but it’s an act of too much self-importance if you expect politicians to do whatever it is that you want. You’re one person!

One of my more favorite lines from NHL 2002. Now he is the goalie for your Florida Panthers. I really don’t know whether to be excited by this.

I am still sore from hockey Sunday, but I may not have time to go tomorrow.

They say that you should give your body a day to recover after strenuous activity, and as far as I am concerned, that day was yesterday. I figure if I just take it easy and do a light workout that that will be fine. I just need to do something so I have an excuse to eat today. That corn isn’t going to eat itself, although if I leave it in the fridge much longer, it just might.
