introducing…
This is my new pet betta fish, Max. He’s a very nice shade of blue with just a bit of irradescant red on the anal fin and his pelvic fins have white tips. He is also kinda hostile. He’s fun. The water he came in was like 2000 flushes blue. Can you do that? Dye the water blue? What is that even about? Anyway, Max is cool.
dance a jig youse!

Cool, collected, intelligent, and most importantly it appears he’s escaped the freaking mind control.. Also the whole baseball analogy + being from Chicago wins him like 23 more points. He’s totally up on points!
Few other things for this Friday- Brett is offically out of the Marine Corps today. I talked to him briefly and he seems pretty jazzed about that. Also today is Megan’s birthday, so she get’s major happy birthday from me!
For those of you who might otherwise forget- Chicago does have two baseball teams, and there’s something to be said about longevity. Yes the Sox stretch started in 1917, and the Cubs in 1908, but, just…. shut your mouth! The Cubs are the greatest baseball team ever! So suck it!
Tuesday is El Día de los Muertos. Wear your skulls. Coz skulls are cool!
Nickel and Dime… it move. So slowly. I’d rather talk about the 18 Nero Wolfe novels I’ve read in just under three weeks! Two of them were short stories, yes, but man! My favorite thing EVER right now. I’d totally put PFUI! on my car’s plates!
Stuff to be doing tonight, scary movies for tomorrow, and possibly and update about my new roommate. Hmmm? We shall see.

Couple of things for the update-
Adding to the growing consensous that Jack Thompson is a Klan-arific master of coersion and psychosis. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/gamepolitics/110152.html) As all the violent videogames are responsible for all the cops I’ve killed, all the crack cocaine I’ve done, and all the mass murder and general satan worshipping I’ve participated in. Oh yeah, I guess I was too busy playing my violent videogames to do any of that stuff.

Next up is the new obsession, that is, Rex Stout’s Nero Wolfe novels. I am consuming them like mad. I want to think the way Archie narrates. It’s pretty much the slickest dialogue ever. Have seen many many episodes of A&E’s show, and recently started reading Lee Goldberg’s scripts of the show, and then ended up downloading a few ebooks, and then it got out of hand with the visits to the used bookshops as most of the novels are now out of print. Plus I like old books. So I am happily filling my brain with the adventures of Archie and Wolfe, they’re just the bees knees. SPOON-BEAN!
A review of the new Wallace and Gromit may be forth coming because it really stirred my appreciation for flawlessly delivered comedy. The whole movie was fundamentals, and just superbly done.
That’s about it, all you baby-mongers out there may welcome Christopher Ryan Boyd, born 10-17-2005. aka Spud, squirt, anything but his actual name. I don’t know the details, other than he’s an impatient little bugger, having been due in Decemeber. Kids these days.
Off to supplement my coffee habit. Auf wiedersehen.
Hey look over there?!
It is (approx) teh Pom-Pom’s birthday!!! Happy Birfdays, teh Pom-pom!
