Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yeah, I feel like McCain fell apart there at some point.
And then his concession speech made him sound like the old McCain again. I had never planned to vote for him, but it was sad seeing what the campaign did to him. (Tim planned to vote for McCain...right up until Palin was unleashed on the voters. Then he was [rightly] horrified that she would be a heartbeat away from an old POTUS and voted for Obama.)
I think McCain was horrified at Palin, too. I almost got the impression that he nearly threw the election.
Also:
Snow on the mountaintops after the cold rainstorm that went through!
I just got out of a webinar hosted by one of our vendors. They showed some sample screenshots of their product with fake users. Two of whom were Down, Neil and Dover, Ben. Really? Maybe they should have considered swapping those out before showing them to users who may not share their sense of humor. I found it kind of amusing, but I'm frequently 12.
I kinda feel bad for Palin too. She really got defined by "I can see Russia from my house", which, of course, she didn't actually say. That and I'm pretty sure she isn't well. Her speeches get so incoherent I can't think there isn't something wrong there.
And Gore, Gore really got shafted by the media. He was defined by saying he invented the Internet, which, of course, he never actually said. Then there was that terrible scandal, the sigh.
Went out, got my tires filled and the car inspected, mailed some packages, and had lunch. And took out the trash and got the mail this morning. Now I'm exhausted and avoiding dealing with the not-quite-dead roach still in my bathroom.
People behind me at work are talking about how Thomas Edison was the Steve Jobs of his day -- in that he stole other people's ideas and made a ton of money off them. Enjoyable!
jfc, that is the biggest not-dead roach I've ever seen.
I have had like 3 breakfasts and I'm still hungry. I would have thought Dana's record-breaking roach would have a little bit of an appetite suppressant effect, but apparently not.
Since I work for a company that makes software that lets you sketch out houses for insurance purposes, I've been sketching out my new apartment and figuring out which furniture I'm taking and where I'm putting it. It's the most fun part of what I do, playing with floorplans.
