Apparantly, It's Not All Bad

So I understand that the weather in Canada has been a little nippy as of late.

Yesterday the weather got up to 71 degrees down here. It was like a nice little Chinook.

Currently, my most pressing concern is how to set a suet feeder so that the raccoons don't eat it all overnight (or, if the feeder isn't bolted down, they just steal it).

I'm Sure That It's Perfectly Normal

So a list of items that Amazon recommends for me includes exclusively a variety of horror movies and cooking equipment.

In a completely unrelated event, I've found myself wondering lately whether the travel channel would hire me as a replacement if I killed Anthony Bourdain.

Probably not. I'm not nearly as good at that whole writing thing as he is.

That Was Fast

One season. I was hoping for a little bit more. Don't get me wrong, I can understand why he did it and wish him all the best, but it would have been nice for him to stay around at least a few seasons more. On the plus side, it takes less than 30 minutes longer to drive to see an Ole Miss game than to drive to see a Razorbacks game.

Now, for those of you that don't care about football, how about some geekery? Like, say, a rubber band gun that shoots 288 rubber bands in 7.2 seconds? I wish I had one of those when I was still in the office in Calgary.



Alternately, I wonder if the company would let me mod my truck like this (pic via Tesla Downunder):

Happy Birthday Mom!

Have a great birthday!

Things That I Learned in 2007

1.) Despite my bitching, moving to Arkansas is one of the best things that I could have done for my career.
2.) It also happens to be one of the worst things that I could have done for my social life.
3.) You can live in a dry county and still get drunk very easily on good alcohol.
4.) Sometimes making your parents cry and call you a dumbass is a good thing. Sometimes.
5.) Arkansas is a culinary wasteland.
