Seems lately there isn’t much to write about here about me. I could go on and on about how happy I am, how busy I am, how [insert perpetually repeated item off blog here]. It’s getting a bit repetitive and it’s getting a bit old.

So instead, I’m going to blow the dust off a time-honored tradition of unleashing the snark on a news item from today’s paper.

Yesterday, there was a big “OMG SCARE!!!1!!!one!!” at the Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport because someone found the “makings of a bomb” in a returned rental car on Sunday morning. A quote:

The device, which was loose in the compartment, included tubes, wires and shrapnel, airport officials said.

“It had the makings of a bomb” but didn’t include explosives, said Pat Hogan, airport spokesman.

OMGWTFBBQFTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the Power Yoga DVD at home – one of two yoga DVD’s that I own. I usually do the other one (Yoga for Weight Loss) because it’s great for stretching out and unknotting my perpetually knotted muscles.

I’m quite sporadic with my Yoga-ing – but due to other factors, I’m not able to run right now so I decided to pop in good ol’ Rodney Yee to give me a good workout.

Dear god. I am so sore today.

So far, the second week of my new job has been great. The fuzzy-headed lack of coherent thought due to information overload is subsiding somewhat.

I’m definitely having instant messenger withdrawal, though. I feel so disconnected from my friends now.

I need some down time for myself and I really need to get back onto a schedule to work out. Sure, I like the activity and going out with friends – but my brain is overloaded with everything and it needs to reset. Either that or I truly am a hermit at heart – where I’m more than content to stay at home on a Friday night or just do nothing.

I need to find a solution to the coffee problem here at work.

My old office had Starbucks coffee (for free!) and a plethora of flavored and unflavored coffee creamers (also free!). My one daily cup of coffee consisted of this wonderful Starbucks coffee with French Vanilla liquid coffee creamer.

Side Note: What you may not know about my coffee drinking habits:
1. Unless I brew it myself, I need coffee creamer.
2. I cannot stand powdered coffee creamer.
3. I cannot stand plain coffee creamer – needs to have a flavor.
4. Sweetener is optional, depending on how toxic the coffee is (see: Diner Coffee).

I haven’t had time to make a post lately – between the new show schedule, the part-time job and now the new job, there just hasn’t been time!

I finally got my own desk and computer yesterday afternoon – so I have really been out of the loop for about a week.

The going away party last week was great. Tim got to meet a lot of former co-workers and friends of mine, which was great. I’m going to miss (some of) the people there, but I sure as hell won’t miss the job.

Bill Maher, while having questionable tastes in Halloween costumes, once in a while will write something interesting.

The Democrats’ best slogan: “Bush lost the war”

Yes, it’s on Salon…but just click the “free pass” thing and get it over with.

Favorite quote: “Vote Republican, and you vote to enable George Bush to keep ruling as an emperor.” A retarded, child emperor, but an emperor.

Go vote tomorrow!!

This past week’s Battlestar Galactica was very interesting to say the least.

Don’t worry – I’m not going to post any spoilers here. Well, other than the fact that one of the Blogkitten Trifecta of Actors is back to his rightful place in the “Awesome Hot” area. Good ol’ Apollo (Jamie Bamber) has been stuck in a fat suit all season and in the past few episodes they’ve been making cracks about the character’s weight – and this week, we see all the hard work pay off.

I can’t believe how quickly this place has gone from “OK” to “Office Death War Zone” and I am feeling so goddamn lucky that I will be out of here very, very soon.

It’s insane! Even if this new job doesn’t pan out to be as awesome as I’m anticipating, it would still be a vast improvement over where I am now. At least I can be in a position where I can work on different projects and not have to support 12 fucking people with their WYAT* Projects of Monotony every single day.
