Life imitates art
Let's try not to think about Star Wars and the Iraq war at the same time. Because I would hate to think that a rag-tag group of "rebels" who practice an ancient religion could ever beat some sort of empire... an empire who has extensive resources and weaponry.
Of course, the two fighting powers actually have a relationship of some sort, and fathers are involved and all.
I'm just a jawa in this world.
Old Man
WTF. Today I am leaving the office and I come around a corner too fast and almost run over this girl. Maybe mid-20's.
She says, "excuse me, sir"
This fellow comes in my office to ask me a question on a project we are working on together. He is youngish - probably right out of college.
I say something like, "I like all these, except this one. that is my 2 cents"
and he is like, "ok sir"
and i say, "I can't believe you just called me sir"
and he laughs, and then two minutes later calls me sir again.
And then the 25yr old gal next door tells me that she went out with a guy who was 30, but he didn't act that old.
I will never wear the green shirt I am wearing today ever again.
Couch
We bought a couch. A real, live couch. Our first.
No more futon. No more hand-me-downs.
Our own, real live couch.
Being delivered Saturday - on that note, we have a free futon to give away. Email me if interested (hit the contact button right there)

Halliburton.
Come the F*ck on.
Do we look like morons? I mean, really.
"I am writing to inquire why the administration entered into a contract potentially worth tens of millions of dollars to a subsidiary of Halliburton without any competition or even notice to Congress," he said.
"The contract - to extinguish oil well fires in Iraq - has no set time limit and no dollar limit and is apparently structured in such a way as to encourage the contractor to increase its costs and, consequently, the costs to the taxpayer."
