| 8:45 am | Part I: Summing up my week in a phrase... "My inside voice has been completely evicted from my brain, so it hangs around my head like some tweaking homeless man with Tourette’s.... shouting random things at passers-by shaking a used Starbucks cup in their faces...." Oh, and I give up. Who wants free DDR3 RAM? -DH |

| 10:05 am | Part I: Help my Contrition! Buy my stuff! Man, I've become such a whore on LJ lately. Selling crap, giving away crap.... Anyway... Well, in the Great Upgrade Frenzy of 2009, I screwed up on my order. However, the screw up was entirely my fault, so I'm not going to send it back. I'm going to suck it up and pay for my mistake. However, my mistake may be your gain. I have 4 sticks of 2Gb G.Skill DDR3-1333 (PC3-10666) - Two boxes of two sticks each. Here's the NewEgg listing. I opened one box and took the thin vinyl protector off of one stick. That's it. I'm not going to give these away - I'm not feeling *that* contrite - but I will be willing to let them go for a price less than what I paid for them at NewEgg. I'll even throw in free shipping. I have a number in my head that I'm not going to share with you. If anyone wants them and offers that number or more, they get the goods. Give me an offer anywhere you can find me. -DH |

| 8:25 am | Part I: FREE CRAP! Well, FlowerPower is slowly dying. Which means it's time for... FLOWERPOWER MK2! I'll be recycling a lot of the old FlowerPower guts into my N-N-N-Nephew's computer, but I've got some parts that will be free to an interested home. All the equipment is 4 years old, but hasn't been abused or overclocked. So, you want, I'll even provide ground shipping anywhere in the US. I'll do anywhere in the world if y'all fill out the customs paperwork. The List: Asus A8E-N MB - This is actually why I'm upgrading. The chipset cooler fan is slowly crapping out (and Asus can't be bothered to keep the thing in stock), and the on-board Ethernet went south. However, if you want to play with it (maybe replace the cooler fan with a heat-pipe system if you're feeling adventureous), it's yours. Athlon 64 X2 Socket 939 CPU - Includes stock fan. It's not the fastest 939 on the market, but it's not the slowest either (I can't remember the speed - I think it's a '4400+'). Since they don't make Socket 939 MBs anymore, I really don't need this. 4GB of DDR-400 RAM - 2 gig of this is about a month old, as I upgraded to run Win7. If you want this, let me know by the middle of next week, when the new equipment comes in. -DH |

| 12:39 pm | Part II: I'll see you on the goy side of the moon.... I always suspected that God was a black woman, and now I've finally got proof. And that article spawned the conversation below: ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} duckhunter: I want the Jewish people from all over the world to make Hell.Just for me. Dammit. :) points: Points blinks?duckhunter: A bit too demanding of me?points: I'm not even sure what it is you are asking for.duckhunter: I want to go to Jewish hell.points: There is no such thing.duckhunter: EXACTLY! So I expect you people to get on the ball and MAKE onefor me. Dammit. points: Er.duckhunter: "Is it *really* too much to ask. ;)duckhunter: Mind if I LJ this? I think it's reached the surreality threshold...to Points. points: Oh, feel free. :)-DH |
| 9:22 am | Part I: At least I got a glimmer Well, today is the release day for the self-titled album of Chickenfoot For the first time, I actually bought an MP3 album because I'm rather interested. And the fact that, at least for today, the entire album is $3.99 at Amazon. ( More music crap under the cut ) -DH |

| 10:06 am | Part I: Confrontation: DENIED! Just talked with Boss about some issues... BOSS: You know, this is partially your fault. ME: Huh? BOSS: You give the problem power when you get worked up like this. It's in control. ME: Well... May I have permission to take back the power? BOSS: No. ME: [Hyperimpotent howls of rage and cries of useless fury] -DH |

| 12:43 pm | Part I: MONDOLINK! Actually, I'm just put up some pictures I had floating around. The links will go to the pic in my ImageShack account I don't know why this annoys me. The signpost is eight feet high, BTW. I *do* know why this one pisses me off. This pic was taken at 5:30AM in a Safeway parking lot. There was plenty of other space, and there was no handicapped sticker anywhere on the car. This was from a box of maps that the state of Colorado sent us. I guess if you need to find the porno shops and gay bathhouses in the state, this is your map. This was from an asian market in Broomfield (Pacific Ocean Marketplace - Nifty store). And, as you can see, the prices are really good, so you can get the most out of your Stem Cell Research Grant. Best Restroom Sign Ever. Belle Plaines, KS, Rest Area From a church in Jenks, OK. I may be weird, but when I see phrases like this, I think that someone in the church as a more-than-passing-aquaintence with the ball-gag-and-handcuffs crowd. From a family restaurant, also in Jenks. You have to love honest advertising. From a pizza buffet restaurant in Spearfish, SD. That certainly explains the faint taste of almonds in all the food. Done. Back to work. -DH |

| 9:05 pm | I have to get this out now... This is from the Christmas Special #2 over at Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series. Now, to really get the mileage out of this link, you really have to have watched Yu-Gi-Oh (which I, ashamedly, have). You can get alright mileage if you are into anime in general. You might get a chuckle just from some of the one-liners if you're an anime-free soul. However, these episodes are very well written. Which is why I have to share this exchange: Yugi: "Yeah, well, maybe if [Santa] loved me, he'd get me a Playstation 3." Grandpa: "Well, maybe Santa can't afford one." Yugi:"Well, maybe Santa can just go to Hell, then." Grandpa: "Well, maybe Santa thinks he'll see you there after he smothers you with a pillow in your sleep." [Pregnant Pause] Grandpa: "Pleasant dreams, Yugi." -DH |

| 5:15 pm | Part I: Head go Boom-Boom Yeah, I should know better. I've seen what Japan has to offer. But this left me rather stunned. I don't like using the word 'gay' as an insult or a negative way. However, how can you watch the video above and not say, "Whoa. That's gay." That video is gay in just about every meaning of the word - including the original meaning. -DH |

| 1:02 pm | Part I: Yet another freaky coinkydink... There's a nifty little waste of time called "Where are You in the Movie?". You enter your estimated length of life (they even have a quicky actuarial quiz if you need it), and give you the choice of 5 different movies. It then shows you a still from the movie you choose. Where you are in the movie. :) Nifty stuff, but when I chose 'Ferris Bueler's Day Off', it picked almost exactly my favorite scene of the movie. This is the scene. And I'm pretty sure I remember what's about to come out of Bill Murray's mouth in the Ghostbusters scene. :) -DH |

| 8:23 am | Part I: Quis custōdiet ipsōs custōdēs? No one, I guess.... A snippet of an article I read this morning - Click on the snippet to go to the source: "Seven weeks after its release, however, and Watchmen's legs have all but buckled. For the weekend just gone, its seventh on release, the film brought home $199,114. More worryingly, that makes for a total take of $106,848,750 in America. It's the 358th most successful film of all time in the US off the back of those numbers, and in 357th is Batman & Robin. That's not the kind of box office company that Warner Bros was expecting the Watchmen to keep." So say we all. -DH |

| 11:18 am | Part II: Be afraid. Be very afraid I have to run/manage/ride herd on the company Green Committee today since Boss is out ill today. To everyone who knows me well enough to be giggling at this - screw you. Now, to disappear into Agendaville.... -DH |
| 7:50 am | Part I: Tempered glass sucks. Jus' saying. Starting out the week explaining one of my final actions last week via e-mail: Folks, During the Big Clean Out on Friday, a certain sardonic individual with authority issues and a flair for bizarre e-mails also found out that his grip wasn’t what it used to be. The hard way. The bottom glass shelf in the Lab Coffee Area fridge mysteriously exploded (quite possibly having to do with a sudden impact-related deceleration, but I’m not going to point any fingers until more research is done.) The new shelf should be here tomorrow, but for right now, we’re going to have to make do. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. But I’m still not taking the blame. NopeNopeNope. -DH |

| 2:24 pm | Part II: I both love and loathe my job... Most recent 'All Staff' e-mail: Yes, there is a turkey outside the building. Yes, Animal Control has been called. However, [Local] Animal Control doesn’t mess with anything other than ‘standard’ pets. So, unless it’s attacking us, they won’t do anything. So, since the police know about the turkey, my hope is that someone will call looking for their lost turkey, and the police will point them our way, or the poor bird will accidently find it’s way home. The turkey, while being a domesticated breed, isn’t too keen on getting close to people. Even people with food. So leave it alone if possible. The bird looks clean and healthy, so there shouldn’t be any problems on that end. I guess that’s it. Time to return to your less surreal work day, already in progress. -DH |
| 11:20 am | Part 1: Another one for the pervs. A few weeks back, we handed out little plastic water bottles with the company logo on them. They had a little slip of paper in the bottle saying not to wash them in the dishwasher. However, someone left their bottle in the sink, so the cleaning staff threw it in the dishwasher. Bottom shelf. WARNING: This link... might... make people look at you funny if they see it on your screen. And this was what I saw this morning when I was emptying the dishwashwer. I wonder how many people will see the visage in Christ in it. Or maybe after they use it. -DH |

| 11:44 am | What Big Cat Are You? ( 'What Kind of Big Cat Am I' Quiz behind the cut... ) Ganked from nimirpardThis meme-quiz was written by a new-age furry. And this is all I have to say. -DH |

| 2:07 pm | DATELINE - TULSA: Busy, Busy Bee Don't have time for anything witty. It took me way too long to title and upload this batch. The 'public' areas of the house. And to think - the coming up weekend, I get to clean this before my sister gets home. -DH |

| 4:45 pm | DATELINE: Tulsa - Help! I'm Trapped In A Fortune Cookie Factory I finally got a way to get my message out. It's been a week since my captivity. It's been horrible here. I'm frightened for my life. I'm only a stone's throw away from the the mass indoctrination center. I can hear their screams at night. Anyway, I'm placing some intel here for my rescuers. Here is the layout of the back of the compound and the layout of the front of the compound. Don't discount the guarddogs - they're about 80 pounds each, and I've never seen them sleep. Help Me.
