I've been working pretty hard at this whole blog thing lately so I'm going to totally lame out today.
Not that I'm not going to blog (as i obviously am) but I'm just not going to write a novel today.
Instead, I'm going to give you a cool link to check out.
That being done, I'm outta here.
Buenos con queso,

I'm calling on your giving nature
I know that I'm usually pretty cavalier on here, even though I do take my forays into the serious. Today, however, I come to you with my hat in my hand to ask for your charity.
Not for me, but for one of the unfortunate of this world.
He's different from his peers, and he needs special reconstructive work in order to appear normal.
So, please send all you can so that we can get Timmy 'lathe'er surgery so that he won't be a freak anymore.

Give me a fucking break.....
What a fucking piece of shit yesterday was.
Ebay, in it's infinite wisdom, has determined that in the interest of safety and convenience, that only online payments will be accepted. I'm not sure how safe it is, and for some, it may not even be convenient, but there you have it.
As a seller, you can no longer accept money orders or other forms of payment for goods sold on ebay. It's their game, so their rules, I guess. It really doesn't matter to me. The only real difference for me is that if they pay online, their order gets shipped sooner.
The only problem I found from this choice on their part greeted me when I got to work. I arrived to find that with the exception of one item, every fucking thing we had listed had been removed.
Sadly, the template I've been using to list since I started (and god knows how long they used it before me) contained the line 'we accept money orders, cashier's checks, and personal checks (personal checks will be held 10 days).' Yeah, they ran a search on the payment methods and
*poof*
So, I spent the entire fucking day opening each one up, deleting that sentence, and relisting it.
I can't tell you how much fun it was.
I caught some of Point Break last night. It's been years since I've seen it (even tho i own it). It was on a movie channel, so it wasn't butchered, and that's a good thing. It's a pretty good flick, and I like both Keanu and Gary Busey's characters, but it was running in the background while I surfed, so I wasn't really paying close attention to it.
I did happen to look over during the final airport scene, however, and I was happy to discover that they avoided making one of my biggest pet peeve 'movie fuckups.'
It's a small thing, but it bothers me even more than the 'expensive string of pearls all over the floor' thing, because it happens much more often.
Sometimes it's a comedy, sometimes a drama. Action films? Yeah, seen it there. T.V. shows? You bet. You've seen the scene the protaganist raises the revolver, about to end things once and for all.
*BLAM*
*BLAM*
*BLAM*
And no, it's not the typical 'how many bullets does that gun hold' lament either. No, it has to do with the simple fact that when a revolver is pointed at you (or in this case the camera)
You can see if it's loaded or not. In this case, clearly not. I mean, there may be one round in there, but no more than one. Well, yeah, in lots of things (7 out of 10ish?) you see the empty cylinders, and the the 'hero saves the day' by firing multiple rounds with an unloaded gun.
Go Hollywood.
Now, I can hear all of you saying 'well, they don't want bullets in the gun it's not safe.' Well, that's a bullshit answer, because it would be simplicity itself, especially for a movie studio, to produce 'dummy rounds.' Hell, for 10 bucks (or less) and a trip to my local gun range, I could prolly make 50. Hell, the carpenter on set could prolly make them out of wood for pennies apiece.
I mean, it's not like they have to fire or anything, right?
Anyhow, just thought I'd share.

Let me give you a hand with that.....
I wonder how many 'give/giving/giving up' titles I'll be able to come up with?
I guess we'll find out together.
Nothing really earth-shattering going on today. It's a work day, so I'm in the 'getting ready for work' mode that plagues most of my mornings. I've got a big cup of Komodo Dragon, and I just finished a Costco Chese bagel.
Breakfast of champions, huh?
It's raining today, that's good, because we like the rain. And, we need the rain too. It started yesterday evening/last night, stopped sometime, and, as of this writing, has started back up again.
I'm getting some things together for the mail, but some may have to wait until Friday, as I'm a little short of cash this week. It's a direct result of having been sick and missing a couple days work.
I think I've found a way to share my random sentances with you. Much like my 'What I want' series from last month, I will be putting the RSOTD at the bottom of the page, under my sign off (keep your eyes open kat) so that you can enjoy them too.
That being said, I think I'm going to end this now, and see how much more coffee I can drink before I have to leave.
I'm guessing lots.

I give up...
Well, not really, but NaBloPoMo has decreed that 'giving' or 'giving up' is the theme for March.
I was starting to get worried, cause I hadn't gotten an email from them with the March theme yet, so I was going to just open my 10 Pound Dictionary and find a random word, and make that my topic for the month.
Then, because my dictionary was across my room under a rather heavy lamp, I decided to google 'random word generator,' which took me here. This thing is a gas. I got so hooked into the whole random thing, that I decided to just use a randomly generated sentence for each day instead of a single word for all of them. To that end, I generated a ton, and saved what I thought were the best 31.
I may still use them as titles for March, I haven't decided yet. If nothing else, I will put them in the post somewhere.
Today marks a milestone of sorts, as it's my 800th post. That number kinda boggles my mind. So, in honor of my prestigious number, I'm going to post some photos.
Is anyone else as stoked as me:
Also, for those of you in the know, I got a delivery of 'change' today:
I've got mail:
Thanks Andie
