Lastnight Lomar, was asked to do an interview for SBK Radio about his Anti-Brad and other popular songs. Somehow the songs made their way to Texas and have a significant following in the area. Lomar, his fiance, Ryan and I huddled around my computer for the interview, followed by a live performance of the Anti-Brad song courtesy of Lomar and Ryan. Afterwards we decided to go for a beer run and steal an ice cream sign to dedicate to his live performance. Look for the DVD in stores!

About a month ago I started singing the latest idiotic (and blatently targeted) McDonalds slogan over and over in my head. It was on it's way to being etched into my subconsciousness when I found myself singing it only while debugging code. The self defense mechanism of my mind had turned the evil jingle into a sarcastic commentary. Now I consciously chant it when something goes wrong and everyone gets the joke. While the Quizno's commercials stuck with the public because they were flat out funny, the McDonald commercials stick in your head because you're left struggling to find a point. Extremes are definitely the most effective marketing tool.

Today was yet another blustery day, but instead of hiding inside we decided to go fly a kite! Unfortunately the string we used was not suited for the wind speed and broke frequently. Thanks to Melissa the kite repair turnaround time was minimal. We decided to head to the dollar store for some upgraded string in preperation for the next blustery day. When we returned, we found an exciting addition to the favored spot for random pooping.

Watching broadcast TV for more than 20 minutes will result in at least one advertisement for a drug you need to be taking or a health problem you may have "but might not even know it!" Clearly, we are a nation of potential health problems just waiting to happen. The only way to delay your inevitible sickness and/or death is to take the advertised drugs as often as recommended. Since I'm a sugar junkie, I'm clearly a high risk for diabetes. However, I took this test that says otherwise. Unwilling to accept that I'm not at high risk for at least one major health problem I decided to ignore the results and continue my regiment of sugar in the hopes that I'll soon be dependant on insulin. Any volunteers willing to inject me in the ass?

For those of you not in "the know," I'll give you a helper course. Google is dead. Long live Boogle! Anybody who's anybody is using Boogle, don't get left behind.

Steve came over tonight for some Lego Mindstorm entertainment. We wound up building the Frankenbot, a sick and perverted vehicle that defied all structural engineering rules. Surprised it held together, we let it loose downstairs to torment my cat. The sheer hideousness (and massive rear spoiler) prompted the cat to run for the safety of the basement immediately. Victorious, the Frankenbot wandered around aimlessly. It was a formidable machine but soon realized it had no real enemy and sadly destroyed itself. Although the death of the Frankenbot was sad, it did entertain us for the better part of an hour, and proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that my cat is a whimp.
