Holy Joker, Batman!

Quick, quick, quick (work hours are for working, not blogging...)

Finally (FINALLY) saw "The Dark Knight" last night (knight?).

All the critics and pundits who said Heath Ledger should get a posthumous Oscar nomination were absolutely right! (kright?)

The whole movie was awesome, but Ledger was astounding.

Obama

My boy Barack Obama will officially get the Democratic Presidential nomination tonight!

Is it November yet???

This is the first time since Bill Clinton's first term in office that I've been excited for an election.

It's time to purge the last eight years out of our system!

Good Feeling

Ya ever had to accomplish one of those big, multi-day tasks that, once you complete it, your brain refuses to acknowledge that you completed it?

So you spend every few hours thinking "Oh, man, I gotta do... wait. I did and I don't have do it anymore".

That brief feeling of euphoria is great! It's like waking up thinking you have to go to work only to realize it's Saturday.

Finally finished clearing out our storage facility on Saturday after several weeks of getting stuff out. Now, every time I think I need to get more stuff out of storage this week, I get that euphoric feeling when I realize I don't have to!

Yay!

What The Kids Will Be Clamoring For This Christmas

Merry Christmas, indeed!

It's Official!

Michael Phelps has officially won more Gold medals in the Olympics than me.

As of this post, he has 11.

So far, I have 0. In fact, I've never played in an Olympics. In fact, my only encounter with the Olympics was going to the rowing competition back in 1984 in the L.A. games.

Good job, Michael!

Aloha, Part II

Here's another Hawaiian word with disparate meanings (from my Hawaiian-Word-A-Day calendar):

MU'UMU'U

The definition I've always known is "loose gown".



But my calendar also defines it as "amputee" or "cut off, amputated".

Discuss.

And by the way, it's pronounced "moo-oo moo-oo", not "moo moo". Cows say "moo moo", not loose gowns.

UPDATE: It's good being married to a Hawaiian. My calendar is sorta correct.

Mu'umu'u (with the okina) means "loose gown".

Muumuu (without the okina and pronounced "moo moo") means "amputee".

This just proves, boys n' girls, that punctuation does count.

Palate Cleanser

Now that we've all had a full-course meal of crazy, let's wash it all down with...

KITTIES!



PUPPIES!



RAINBOWS!



and UNICORNS!



Ahhhhh. Don't we all feel better now? It's like taking Pepto-Bismol for the brain.
