Hi folks, I'm back.
MediaCom has a tech that does crappy work. The folks upstairs got their internet installed to replace the phone company's DSL. Instead of hooking and unhooking a wire, the tech went through and cut everything, including my stuff. So, no interwebs all weekend. The phone company tech that fixed it really wants to know who did that because it seems to be a pattern. Ok, now I have a pile of work to play catch-up on. Yay!

Was it a legit guy they used, or someone working cash in hand?

Maybe this is a sign that humanity is taking the plot of Idiocracy a little too seriously...

God I love that movie! I tell everybody I know to watch it. It's sadly very true.

I keep telling people to watch it. No one listens. It is a sobering warning... If things get to that point, the lizard overlords are welcome to the planet.

Idiocracy is a future documentary. The only thing Mike Judge got wrong was "500 years in the future", it's more like 50 years in the future.....

That and in 500 years there won't be any more people with blond hair and blue eyes. In fact, most white genetic traits will have been bred out.

I intend to ask the lizard overseers for a job extracting certain people and using my skills to get information out of them. I have my resume all ready to send out, too.

I'm at the point now where I kind have to put up or shut up and write a solid ending. Getting there, though. Hopefully this week. *crosses fingers*Does GB have lactic acid in it? or...urea?

I missed you guys. I'm so behind in my stuff I can't believe it. I'm just now catching up. Which is good because I get to work all day tomorrow.

I always get soap in my eyes when I was my hair. Every morning I have red eyes when I get out of the shower.
