Re: A Thread for Random Musings

 

I got bored and surfed up an episode from Enterprise (ENT 225 - Bounty). Within three minutes I realized I was trapped in the series' obligatory pon farr episode. Don't get me wrong, Jolene Blalock makes for a sizzling Vulcan hottie, but "microbes make me hot" is a really lame excuse for throwing in BLATANT FAN SERVICE. I mean, come on, microbes? If your going to write a bad episode with soft-porn shots you could at least come up with a sexy premise. MICROBES? Very untitalating.

What's the etiquette here?

 

Got a birthday greeting from the ex-wife yesterday. I'm not quite sure how to react. She's been trying to be friends lately. While flattering, it's a bit creepy. After all, I blame the divorce largely on her these days (you know, after the guilt abated and the self loathing was at a normal level). I have no intention of sending her a birthday card on her birthday. Does that make me an jerk?

Curses!

 

One of my recent projects was transferring the staff manuals to the new intranet page. Nobody reads these things, so it felt like a bit of a pointless task. For fun I spelled out 'porn' as 'pr0n' one one page, just as a test.

 

Somebody just sent me a typo report on it. Dangit! I can't believe I was caught so soon! :eg:

Heh. Just read an article that said gift cards are not gifts and should generally not be used. It said if you are close to someone, an actual gift is needed.

 

Last year on Christmas Eve, someone told me they had been to the Mall and it was wall to wall men. She said there was a long line of them at the Victoria's Secret counter buying gift cards. I think those guys will be in big trouble.

Well, it stopped raining, so I can't put it off any longer. Tonight, I must don what armor I can, wield my dual aerosol cans, climb up on the roof, and go to war with the wasps. I will have the advantages of darkness and surprise, but they are greater in number and have taken a strong defensive position in a nearly inaccessible location. There may be casualties.

Two nights ago, while driving home, I saw a fantastic sight. It was the crescent moon, flanked on the left and the right by two very very bright stars. I'm pretty sure one of the stars was Venus. I'm guessing the other was... maybe Jupiter, or Saturn?

 

It was quite beautiful. :)

"Jen in no way means to imply, allude to, or otherwise state that all investment bankers are blood sucking leeches or, conversely, that all blood sucking leeches are investment bankers. Any and all similarities between the aforementioned “Investment Bankers” and “Blood Sucking Leeches” may be purely coincidental and should be disregarded unless, of course, the above parties wish to be known as each other, in which case we, as members of the “World Community” should accept and embrace that choice."

So, today a friend of mine, a hareidi fellow, started in on me for not being hareidi. After about five minutes he got frustrated that he couldn't advance a cogent or definitive argument for his approach (if it works for him great but leave me out of it) and started trying to use his rebbe as a club. "But the Rebbe says..." Over and over. Ad infinitum. Finally, I told him: "Your rebbe is a brilliant man. I disagree with everything he says."

 

Abject terror.

 

I tell you, I saw abject terror.

 

It was kind of cool. :help:
