Putting On My "O" Face
Now there's a lovely image to conjure up. :) Fear not, this post has nothing to do with the "o" word bouncing around in your perverted little mind.
Organization
Last night I was feeling extremely anti-social. I wasn't in the mood to run, or to hang out drinking beer with my friends. *feels head to see if fever has set in* No sir, All I wanted to do was to be alone and clean up the piles of shit (not literal shit mind you because that would be disgusting) which have taunted me for weeks. I love organization. No, I really loooooove being organized.
He Knew About O-Rings
Sit down for this. Yesterday I ordered a book from Amazon, and I really think I am going to read this one.
About fifteen years ago I learned of the physicist Richard Feynman, and have been fascinated by his life ever since. He was a modern-day genius and one of the panel of experts that figured out that the space shuttle Challenger went BOOM because of the O-Rings. Yesterday I found out that there is a new book
which chronicles letters sent between him and his wife while he was working on the Manhattan Project. I'm game.
Cellphones Are Evil
What has happened to people's manners? While I was in Whole Foods the other day waiting in line I witnessed a lovely young couple sitting in a booth eating. The entire time I was there a cellphone was glued to the girl's ear. Rude, just fucking rude.
It reminded me of the blind date I was on a few years ago where the girl had set up an "emergency" that she just had to take care of. Imagine the odds of your good friend's car breaking down and you are the only one who can help? Sweetheart, I wasn't stupid, I knew the "get me out of here" call when I see it. By the way, the feeling was mutual and look on your face when I told you to leave was priceless!!
Some Other Things I Learned Playing Poker
And now for some ideas stolen from LiveJournal...
Current Mood - eh, I am in a Code Orange sort of mood
Current Music - Oingo Boingo? Nope. O-Town? C'mon, give me a break! Sirius Satellite Radio, Channel 26 playing Mando Diao "You Can't Steal My Love"
Website Of The Day - Modern Ruins Photographic Essays -- Some photography that might make you say "Oh, my God!", or "Holy Shit!"
Cheerio!

Some Other Things I Learned Playing Poker
- The guy who made Super Size Me is making a tv show: Apparently Morgan Spurlock has a hand in devloping a tv 'reality' show based on his documentary.
- People really can win in Vegas: One of the guys at the table had just returned from a fruitful poker trip to Vegas.
- The Braves have great starting pitching, but their bullpen couldn't hold a lead if it had a handle on it: And they proved it again yesterday.
- Calling for food delivery is *always* a gamble: Living in East Atlanta I have given up on having food delivered. The other night half of the food order was wrong and it took an hour for the restaurant to rectify it. I guess I don't miss calling for food.
- Trembling hands make for great tells: Poker face I have, poker hands I am still working on
- I was the only one drinking alcohol, and I *still* won money!: People always say that you should not drink when you gamble. Whatever...
