They SAY change is good.

I've decided that the best way to karmicly balance out getting lasik would be to get a set of glasses tattooed onto your face.

I'm sad to see the Rose Parade has succumbed to the unbearable trend of televised parades, and now periodically stops so they can unfold a stage set and put on a show! It's not as bad as the Macy's Day Parade which seems to have foregone actual human movement for a full-fledged number from the latest movie to be turned into a broadway musical, or an overplayed non-offensive pop tune, but give it another year and we'll stop seeing the horse teams and the band. Within 5 years, I fully expect no closeups of the floats, unless there's a star perched on top, and even then it won't be focused on the crushed chyrsanthemums but on the crushed soul of little Preston Spears Federline.

I've decided to sneak into this office into the dead of night, and suspend everything in my cube upside down using heavy-duty filament and the beam that runs right over my cube.

Stupid Rental Cars @()! @#($*@!) #)@@!

Tuesday+00:00

I've decided that my rental car - a Chevy Cobalt - should not be annoying me quite this much, even if it is a poorly-designed, anemically styled, and generically disappointing vehicle.

I've decided to intertwine pink feathers in my hair and call myself a human flamingo; watch me stand one one foot and crane my neck .... oops, I bet it's bad 'mingo etiquette to compare yourself to a crane.

I've decided to glue my sofa to the ceiling, install some straps, and "watch tv with a whole new perspective."

Monday+00:00

I've decided it'd be very very wrong to put a fire-breathing dragon at the door of my pod to control access. A skrewt might work just as well.

I've decided to wrap wire around my head and claim it's an avant-garde hat.

I've decided to take a long cold bath and then relax in front of a fan hiked up to hurricane speed.

I've decided to find myself my own personal Archie Goodwin.

I've decided to become the world's greatest pen twirler, and to achieve that end, I will be purchasing one thousand sparkly green ballpoint pens to train with.

I've decided that I'm going to pretend that I've sprouted polka dotted horns that flash big neon question marks.

Thursday+00:00

I'm still loving my new job - there's a lot of room there to make a significant and useful impact, there's challenging ideas, and I'm doing UI every day. I'm completely enjoying myself.

I've been watching the Olympics obsessively, and I can practically taste your disappointment that I've not been ranting here. You've heard it all before from me, but to shorthand it for the newbies: Costas is even more insufferable than ever, the media coverage with it's American entitlement complex sucks, the staging and presentation is mediocre, and I root against anyone who gets an up close and personal segment just on principle. On the plus side, NBC is actually showing the less popular sports on its other networks.

I've been working on reconciling my big idea for the website restructuring and design with available technologies and ending up very tetchy. I don't want to compromise my ideas, and I'd like to avoid lots of hacking things together on my part. This is a stalemate right now, and I think I'll take a nap.
