Norwegian or… what?

Saturday, May 31st, 2003

My mom’s side of the family is fairly fresh over from Norway (i.e. her grandma’s native language was norwiegan) and they ended up settling where all good Norwiegans do… Minnesota… But the strange part, which i can’t figure out, is they seem to have an arsenal of strange quirkey phrases.
For example, when I was a [...]

Movie recommendation…

Friday, May 30th, 2003

If you haven’t seen Identity you should…. We saw it totally by accident last night so we knew nothing about it and it was fantastic… little gorey for my usual taste (I squeeled and jumped on my seat a couple of times) but has some really wild twists… can’t say more than that without blowing [...]

On a Ligher Note

Thursday, May 29th, 2003

I think i want to train my Dog in German when we get it… Our dog when I lived in Germany was (obviously) trained in German and it seemed to be more straightforward for the dog to understand.. Not to mention I think it just sounds cool… Found this on the web today!
Not to mention [...]

What he said…

Thursday, May 29th, 2003

Just read this at Untelevised and this guy seems to be RIGHT on the same page as I am about the state of the world right now..
- WHY aren’t people outraged that the haven’t found any credible evidence of these weapons that we used as a justification for our invasions
- WHY aren’t people outraged that [...]

Dubbya Alternative

Wednesday, May 28th, 2003

Anyone know anything about Howard Dean? Was just poking around at his site and noticed the ‘Dean for America’ icon on it.. I’ve heard good things about this guy before and DESPERATELY want a viable alternative to the current administration. I won’t go into why right now cuz that will start a diatribe that I [...]

Two Random Toughts

Thursday, May 22nd, 2003

- I read ‘A Perfect day for Bananafish’ by J.D. Sallinger on the eliptical machine today (sorry - no random rants about strange people at the Muni stop today)… That story was REALLY weird… It was good… I think… SUPER fast read and ended in a really shocking way in the last 2 sentences… Now [...]

Eliptical Observations

Tuesday, May 20th, 2003

Ever take the time to observe random people as they live their lives? People you don’t know? Ever wonder what the rest of their story is? what you can’t know just by looking?……. Or can you?
Picture this: Its early on a tuesday morning. From the window at the gym I can see a guy standing [...]

Childhood Story #1

Sunday, May 18th, 2003

This might be total random sillyness but I thought it might be fun to post some random stories of mine from when I was a kid… Dunno why… Maybe to spark conversation.. Maybe just so I can squirrel them away for when I start loosing my mind (or when I finish rather! ;))… anyway… here [...]

Sunday, May 18th, 2003

Things I wonder about

Friday, May 16th, 2003

Anyone who knows me knows that my brain is constantly churning with random imponderables - some useful - some not… And frequently they bubble out my mouth. Kevin is always asking me what the hell makes me ask such oddball things… I dunno… I throw ‘em out partially to make conversation and partially in the [...]

Handy Tool

Wednesday, May 14th, 2003

Just found a handy tool online called CSSEdit. Its a pretty damn cool Mac OS X app that lets you edit style sheets in a much more straightforward way.

Reality is better than Fiction

Wednesday, May 14th, 2003

So first there was:
- iLoo: MSN UK tests potty surfing
but then we come to discover:
- Microsoft: Internet-ready toilet project a hoax
only to then discover:
- Microsoft: iLoo no hoax after all, but dead anyway
Ya know.. .i don’t care if it is true or not… its just really damn funny anyway. My theory is that someone at [...]
