I refrained from entering this scenario earlier in the blog, when it would have been more timely. As the story contains little humour and even fewer links, it seemed something to annoy my grandchildren with* and not fit for blogging.

However, thanks to a friend on my lunch hour, I now feel ready to share, as I did with him. The funny part’s at the end; stick with me through the boring bits.

* – My future grandchildren. The ones I have now are annoyed enough having to explain their existence.

Another welcome is due to my good friend, Bjorn, without whose company I spiral into mediocrity. I am jealous that his comments are already bursting with conversation, but he is deserving and so may live. For now.

Diana lkasdhkf Shimon: born ~ 5:45 p.m., 2/21/2004.

Mother still referring to her as “it” (i.e., “I’m just glad it’s out.”)

Father’s attempts at normal sardonicism failing in glow of fatherhood. Freak-out conversation in bar in near future expected with 80% probability.

The Shimon brood expands by one. The world braces itself for domination.

I just made my 60th Entry into my blog and I feel great. Yeeeah.

BB made my day with that little spot. Go ahead and give her a click. You won’t be sorry.

Just bought The Tick live-action television series on DVD. In the “Where are they now?” category, Captain Liberty (Liz Vassey), the superhero whose vagina killed the Immortal, now sells amusing T-shirts. And shows off her bod.

The vagina she keeps to herself, for the safety of geeks everywhere.

How Jack Black describes the D:

Actor, musician, and cult idol ascendant, Jack Black is known for both the characters he portrays on the screen and as one of the forces behind Tenacious D, a rock band/standup routine that Black has described as “a Smothers Brothers for the Dungeons and Dragons misfits set.”

That Jack Black. How far he’s come since Airborne. By the way, he was a shining star of supporting actor perfection in Airborne. Also, I first saw both Jack Black and Seth Green in that movie, two now-famous actors who are awesome, have two syllables to their full names, and last names that are colours. Plus, there were mad props to Gandhi, street hockey, and Edie McClurg. Note to the Academy: fuck you.

**Special update: The D supports Dio for America in his video. Caution, though, as it uses RealCrappyPlayer.

Clicking through my Amazon gold box, this option was presented to me. Curious, I found myself clicking. Now, no matter what else I click on, listed among my recommendations are all sorts of similar items. How ever will I explain this to my parole officer?

Czelticgirl, however, gets items both appropriate and daring. When she’s not getting recommended David Hasselhoff CDs.

Meanwhile, here are some things that will happen:

? I will install my G4 Macintosh at home with my KVM switch tonight.

? Hank “Henry” Rollins will speak to me in that way he does on Sunday night.

? My friend Bjorn will comment on this post.

? Email will arrive from my good friend elvira elbertine re: “not paris, but a donkey show…check it.” Despite a burning curiosity, I will refrain from opening it.

?”Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” returns under the new format. Competitors chosen from the ranks by ABC producers will no longer answer trivia questions, but instead rely on their listening skills by raising their hands when Regis asks, “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” The number of winners is statistically similar to the original run.

? Tomorrow, I will have nothing at all amusing to post, so I’ll just steal something from Czelticgirl or BB to make my 4 entry weekly quota.

Things that won’t happen:

? World Peace

? Time Travel

? My new cube-neighbors will discover courtesy and start wearing headphones rather than splattering their popfeces all over the landscape.

Brilliance comes in many forms. With the virulent nature of the internet, we are lucky enough in this era to have access to it in large amounts. If we can be said to have short attention spans, then we can counter with pride that our brains are so inundated with humanity that we simply must shift our proverbial mental gears quickly in order to absorb as much data as possible. Ours is truly an age of information.

Hence, a gay penguin for president.

For, as the propaganda itself states, “Who could feel culturally threatened by a Gay Penguin?”

Beginning today, I’ll let you make up your own mind about how links open, by the by.

Buddha site celebrates UN status.

I suppose I will celebrate too.
