Stupid people telling me all these horror stories of broken femurs, wrists, heads, arms, ankles, and so forth. Stupid people telling me this crap to dissuade me from dinking around with a long board.

*sigh* Let's not forget this would be a fairly high gamble for the entry cost vs possible continued use.. Maybe I'll buy a deck on fleabay... yeah.. that might be good.

I was off to Oakview mall to check in at BC Surf shop over on the bottom/dillards side. Nice joint but the aging skater there running the joint seemed a little put off that I came in wanting to know about "this longboarding stuff". Yes.. a longboard over a regular skateboard. I am not that stupid to think I am going to be doing sweet jumps.. I just want to cruise around on a 'sidewalk surfboard'.

I think I am going to go off and see about buying a skateboard. Yeah.. that would be fun.

iwl.me aka 'I write Like Me' has a text analyzer... I threw in some of my blog posts and got this dingus. Cory Doctorow. "[...] is a Canadian blogger, journalist, and science fiction author who serves as co-editor of the blog Boing Boing". Ah.. yeah.. I don't know about that.

You know it's a good day when you wake up and hear rain water trickling through the gutters.. only to look outside and see it hazy but dry. A cursory glance at the gutters show a steady trickle of water and it tap-tap-tapping inside.. yeah.. it's that freaking humid out the gutters are condensing most of it. Ugh.

FYI that's a decent survival tip for the zombie apocalypse. Humid mornings you can get some water by having enclosed gutters collect the moisture.

From the stompy-guy-when-i-loose-at-modern-warfare-2 guy up stairs the Crime Scene Unit was there because during one of the storms last week people busted into the garage units at the southern most side of the complex. They didn't steal much, or anything, just trashed the joints.

SGWIL@MW2 guy indicated it was all the section-8 folk and threw some over tones about "those people". Greaaaaaaaaat.

I was getting home about 10ish this morning from letting the Pete dog out.. sack of tots, OJ, and a sausage croissant in hand when I spied the county's "crime scene van" over yonder dusting for prints on a garage. Odd.

I really thought Mark was going to punch people yesterday... specifically The Fox. Seriously - this was two or three different moves to production that were being tested for weeks but in the last twenty-four hours suddenly all these errors and busted code are shown. If I believe TheFox was a malicious individual I would say he was finding bugs while testing, not reporting them to us, and then in the last minute dump them on us to make him look good and us bad.... but I can't believe he would do that. I am at least happy they didn't move to production.

Well.. legal lunch was a fun respite from the low level hell I left and catastrophe I came back to.

I leave all is peaceful and quiet.. I come back and hell broke loose since our 'tester' decided to find a bunch of crap.. again hours before we are going to put a bow on this damn patch and get ready for tonight. Seriously, how does he keep doing this? I thought Mark was going to whip around and shank him.

On other news Clompers wandered off with Falloutboy and I to chat. He'll be a good reference... and he says things are smelling like layoffs as well. Cest la vie. My apprehension about applying for a new job and that sort of life style change grows larger but I'll have to suck it up and get it done.

I might as well escape the comfort zone and go to a new company.. hello interview suit.
