If you were wondering when ‘Freakazoid’ is broadcast, it’s at 5:30 am on Saturday mornings.

I am tired. I just rearranged my room for no apparent reason. Maybe it’ll help me be more productive. I have to wrench my head around about 110 degrees to see the tv instead of my monitor when I’m sitting at my desk. That should do something to increase the productivitiness. My desk now faces away from the door to my (obscenely large) bedroom. I could probably put up a partition, get a chair from upstairs, and rent out this place as some sort of office space.

The next time I’m crazy enough to rearrange my room, I hope I don’t wear corrective lenses. Most of the things I found were not meant to be found.

If you were wondering why I haven’t posted in two weeks, it’s because I have lost all track of time. I couldn’t tell you what time it is during the day, and I couldn’t tell you what day of the month it is. When I’m at work, I have that clock icon in the taskbar. Without that, I’d probably just work until the sun went down.

Sorry, this was just funny. I wonder how much business they get helping other people with business activity. From rtcw.com:

to buy their domains. they will get
great success. do you want good results?
domain name is very important. it is true.
toast the success of the enterprise. why
do not send e-mail? do you like shrink?
do you fear the domain price? if you lacks
administrative ability, you must realize
that you are mistaken. we want to help
you. better late than never. please
remember this. time is gold.

I got a patriotic email today. I could put the full text here, but it’d probably take away from my point. If you want to read that email, the whole thing is available here.

Or here.

Or here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, or here.
(From that last link: “My thanks to Gordon Sinclair for his powerful and thoght pervocking words.”)

Anyway, I did a little research, found out that 59 american communities did not get hit by tornadoes. I also found out the guy who wrote that thing died. Seventeen years ago. I have a feeling I’ll be getting this thing in the mail from people who think this was written very recently, and maybe this way, I’ll be able to prevent a fraction of those from reaching me. If you want the real text - it’s available here. Also a real audio clip here. Try reading it - you’ll feel really patriotic that the United States just PULLED ITS TROOPS OUT OF VIETNAM.

I’m not anti-patriotic or anything, I’m just bugged that thousands of people think Gordon Sinclair wrote that pro-American stuff about tuesday’s events. And that some jackass knew he’d be starting another one of these urban legend things. Feeling patriotic is good, but don’t do it if it’s only because somebody emailed you the reworded and cropped version of something written twenty or thirty years ago.

I got a job about three feet west of Jordan, where I .. uh .. do security stuff … ?

All I know is I’m one step closer to fulfilling my quest for absolute nerd power.
