Lots of new content additions to my Roald Dahl page, if you’re interested.
I knew Steve wouldn’t let me down. Mac OSX in March, and these babies right now. Ooh, I likes.
The UK will be able to see a lunar eclipse tonight. Or rather, we would, except that the bloody weather sucks and I consider myself lucky to catch a glimpse of the moon on a regular night. Oh well, I’ll probably try anyway. And my friend Kel’s gonna see if she can get some pictures with her new digital camera, so maybe I’ll post one if I can.
What the…? When did Fritz Holtznagel’s name get taken off The Lycos 50? And who is this Aaron Schatz? I’ve been away from my search engine gossip for too long.
I really, really want a one-handed keyboard. Preferably mounted on the arm of a big ergonomic work chair, with a joystick/trackball on the other. It would have two big benefits: A) I could work with as little actual movement as humanly possible (yes, I’m a big lazyass), and B) I could pretend to be on Star Trek.
Dream Log: Between snooze alarms this morning, I had a crazy dream where I sorta became Ralphie from “A Christmas Story.” (It’s not as random as you think; the copy my mom sent me is sitting out in our living room.) It’s not like I was an 8-year-old boy; I was me but I was in the Ralphie role. You know what I’m sayin’. So it was Christmas morning and I got to play Santa for the family. My brother Anthony was in the Randy role, and he was squealing with excitement and Mom kept telling me to find a present for him. (My sister wasn’t in the dream, perhaps as punishment for leaving me yesterday?) And so I was digging through this massive pile of presents, but I just couldn’t find any for him. Or for me, for that matter. There were lots that weren’t labeled, and there were also lots from random aunts and uncles but never addressed to us. And my Dad just kept sighing and rolling his eyes, and Antny kept squealing, and Mom kept telling me to hurry… and I woke up.
Wow, Max gave me a shout out! But how the hell did he hear about the site so quickly? I’m guessin’ he saw a referral to his site from this one. Or else my alternate personalities are sending out promotional material that I don’t know about. 🙂
HA! Have you read The Leprechaun? It’s supposed to be ND’s answer to The Onion. I actually thought it was pretty hilarious, especially the stories like “Notre Dame Admits the Third Hottest Freshman Class in School History”, the “Did You Let the Dogs Out?” Quiz, and “Socrates’ Dating Advice”.
Speaking of basketball, you can head to this page to see a video clip of ND’s Ryan Humphrey doing an alley-oop slam, and vote for him to be “Dunk of the Week.”
ND Basketball News: Troy Murphy had a career night against Rutgers on Saturday, leading the Irish to a 87-80 victory. The team play Seton Hall tonight, who recently announced that two players are suspended for violating “team standards.” Read the story; it sounds pretty dodgy. Looks like the guys mighta gotten in a locker room brawl…
