Weekly Wrapup #70 – On Blogging

1. How would you describe blogging to someone who didn’t know what it was?
Kind of like a cross between scribbling the things you would write in a diary on the outside wall of our house and ranting about your favorite topics in a place where your friends can’t say ‘Pete – Shut the Fuck up!’… I really use it as a forum to talk about and share things that interest me with people outside of my immediate group of friends.

Guinea Pig

MAN I love being a guinea pig for a trainee in a doctor’s office… Optometrist has a new assistant it seems and the guy seems well meaning but fairly clueless. Doesn’t give you confidence when the doctor is standing over the guy repeating the same things over and over again and among those are phrases like ‘No… it needs to be CLOSER to his eye before you press the button’…. Can’t the guy pratice on a mellon or something before he graduates to sticking things in my eye..

Paranoid Pete…

(BTW – He’s ordering a test pair of the contacts that Ray recommended… Sure would be nice to wake up and be able to see! 😉 )

Latest ‘challenge’

So we’ve discovered that we have a nest of these fun little bastards

up somewhere in our attic and are crawling out through a hole near one of our living room windows. Started notice them flying about a few weeks ago and noticed where they were going last week and Kevin had an ‘encounter’ with one last night..

But wait.. it gets worse…
