Suggested listening for April 28
General (0)
I've been way too busy at work to write anything, so all I'll leave you with today is a suggestion to buy the album I'm listening to now... it's amazing. I might turn this into a weekly thing... Thanks to Poulter, I already have an album lined up for next week. Now playing: "War of the Sexes" The Streets The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living

Free breast exams
General (0)
Wow. I know that a lot of men (including myself) like them, but this is going a little too far. From the Reuters story: MIAMI - A 76-year-old man claiming to be a doctor went door-to-door in a Florida neighborhood offering free breast exams and was charged with sexually assaulting two women who accepted the offer, police said Thursday. The white-haired suspect, Philip Winikoff, carried a black bag and claimed to be visiting on behalf of a local hospital. "He told the woman that he was in the neighborhood offering free breast exams," sheriff's spokesman Hugh Graf said in a statement. Winikoff was not a doctor, ...

Squirrels

Just another squirrel. I forgot how shy most squirrels actually are. The past four years I've lived on or near a college campus, where it seems squirrels will walk right up to you and do everything but ask for a cigarette. The squirrels out at Lake Paradise weren't very friendly today. Maybe it's because my car is making a weird rattling noise. Maybe it's because they know I work for a paper that has no problem running some of the things we do (huge submitted photos, press releases, clip art). Sigh. OK, no more complaining tonight. I'm going to go play in the rain now and ...

Cat Pee + New Shoes = Bad News

Toothpick, white shirt, guitar? Must be Chris. Sometimes I hate going home... it's not that I hate my parents or their house, but Danville doesn't feel like home to me anymore. I'll be honest, I had thought of ways to work this weekend so that I wouldn't have to go home, but I'm really glad I didn't. I got to hang out with a few people that I haven't seen in years. Chris was in town, so we hung out for most of the night on Saturday. It seemed like we had only been apart for a few weeks, not a few ...

I heart spring

Bird photos look better with leaves... The weather outside is phenomenal. I went out birding/ hiking today before work, and I didn't want to come in to the office today. Now I'm sitting in my half-cubicle staring at the window wanting to go back outside. Everything around is starting to bloom and leaf up. My allergies are killing me -- but photos look better with color in them, so I'll live with it. I'll be heading home tomorrow for the Easter weekend, I might update from there... we'll see. UPDATE: Friday's high temperature of 85 degrees tied the record high for the day. If ...

Wedding Bells

Joaquin and Maria - 04/08/2006 I got to watch Joaquin's wedding this weekend... now I'm fending off all of the "When are you getting married?" questions. I would respond back with something like "when hell freezes over" but in the past week: Apple has made software that will run Windows XPKatie Couric takes over CBS newsSo for now I'm just going to smile, shrug my shoulders and say "we'll see."

RUN!
General (0)
RUN --> I was driving around the county yesterday when I found the word "RUN" spray-painted in the middle of a country road. It was pointing to a gravel driveway. I'm sure it's for some kind of utility company or something... but I can't stop wondering what else it could be for. I almost started running down the driveway to see if there was someone waiting behind the barn with a prize. I decided not to when I realized there could be someone waiting behind the barn in their meth lab. You have to love living in the meth capital of Illinois.
