Chick-tionary

If the fonz had a Chicktionary or maybe it was will smith in fresh prince...

then wouldn't a woman carry a dick-tionary?

I ask you?

Boy that cracked me up. I thought of it early in the morning and about died laughing... I'm easy.

It's a conicidence update

Looks like they have a chick hosting It's a miracle (aka It's a freaking lame ass coincidence). I guess John boy got called home to Walton's mountain. Good.

I have to watch it just once with the new hostess (and probly get really fired up) to see how bad it is.

By the looks of the ads Pax is going for production value.

According to Mo Fuzz of Mo Fuzz records in Tape heads: "There are only two ways to add production value..."

If you are wonder what they are, then go rent Tape Heads and find out.

VTHOKIE update

From someone I know who also reads this. I don't think there is anyone who reads this that I don't know. If there is though how would I know? Maybe they would email me? But then in a way I would know them. So that blows that theory.

VT = Viginia Tech; HOKIE = Mastcot/School nickname for students/alumni

and so ends another mystery. We don't need to call out leonard nimoy and have and 'in search of'.

seafood

For those of you who read the old blog. I saw seafood on sunday. remember? no? oh well go read in motion again. seems she switched her diet... saw her at outback...

btw i'm at dance class on some good samaritan's WiFi....

Losing things now

That would be a better title than "Getting Things Done" He speaks of a system with 43 folders, loose leaf 3 ring binders and stickys. He actually said go buy stickys. Excuse me. oh and an in box. you must have an in box.

In truth i'm down with the inbox, but his system is in my mind a plan to lose a lot of shit fast.

List management gone bad... sounds like a fox real tv special.

The other thing is he talks about choosing in the moment what to do. He says check the time available, then the energy available and finally lastly not firstly the priority.

Thats just fucked up.

If I went off of how much energy I felt like I had I wouldn't get shit done. I would sit on my ass and read. No bug fixes. No DCR's. NO god damn meetings. sorry no, I haven't the energy at the moment, perhapps come back after I've had a power bar and a 20 minute nap.

goofy.

not donald.

goofy. He's a cow, not a dog btw.

The David Allen Getting Things Done Revisit

So a few years ago in my other blog I reviewed (slammed, nay skewered... no no... filet'd ya that's it filet) the tape "Getting Things Done" and I thought well I'm like 3 years more mature, I can probly deal with this now in a very objective way and I might even get something out of it.

before I answer that let me tell a little story about going back to visit my high school after like 10 years to give a lecture to just two classes in comp sci. I kept telling myself that I was 18 when I was there last. I thought most (not all) of the staff had their heads up their asses back then, it can't possibly be true today. It was 10 years ago and you were 18. I just kept telling myself that.

Walking out I was saying, "I had my shit together when I was 18 I guess... most of them are in the position of no hair loss as their scalps haven't gotten any sun in 10 years. Yup without a clue. Not to say I was an above average 18 year old, I got a lot of C's (they stood for average back then, not like today's report card where that means... completed... or confident... who the fuck knows? they keep changing it).

I did go to a gifted school. We took Latin. They said "It gives you a strong base for all the other European languages" Eddy Izzard says "why the fuck don't I just take the other European languages?" I have to agree as I can't Spanish my way out of a wet paper bag. What is Spanish for "hey let me out of this wet paper bag?" I don't know... see? But it must suck teaching or working in a place where the student's are way smarter on average (see even me) than you. It's enough to get one to stick ones head... nevermind.

So in short they did in fact have their heads lodged securely up their asses.

So does David Allen.

He says when I get a piece of information I might want to incubate it. Excuse me? It's likely a problem so fuck that I don't want it grow. Seriously he means I'm not sure what to do with it so I'll put it off til x. Oh yipeee procrastination built right in. His example is not at all incubation. It's an action pure and simple and its been time activated. He says "call my broker after march 1st". OK how is that incubating I might ask? It's not its an action. watch closely as my fingers never leave my hands....

3/1/2004 Schedule a time to call Sally (she's my broker) re: 401k rollover.

Did ya see that? Is it incubating? NO. It's just an action and its just been time activated. No need to apply heat and moisture.

Why do we complicate such simple things?

So in short. His tape still has its head up its ass.

iPod

I love my iPod. It has 5 gigs of my personal sound on it.

It crashed this morning... I wasn't playing a game. I wasn't digging in the calendar (features I don't even use) I was just playing "Sweet Home Alabama" and it quit on me. I had to reset it. Do you know what that entails? You have to put the hold switch on and then off again and then you have to hit play and menu at the same time and hold that for like 5 seconds and then it reboots. Makes Ctrl-Alt-Del seem accessible.

So does this mean Steve Jobs has put his musical tastes into the code and whenever you play Skynard for the upteenth time it dies? I think not.

Walking...

I've been walking.

Not anywhere in particular.

In fact not anywhere at all. I use a treadmill. That way my mile can be truly "uphill" both ways.

This means I've been getting up very early. very early. 5:15 am. This is also a good thing. I hear you scoffing at my pre-sunrise move, but hey.

Yesterday Tammy asked me how I can get up so early. I told her because being in shape was more important than sleep. It's not being in shape that gets me up. It's not dying at age 40 thats more important than sleep. That's what gets me up.

VTHOKIE

ok what?

I hope you asked what... I did

Saw it on some dude's licence tag.

It was a fancy ass BMW (which my friend says stands for Bust My Windshield). Ok actually it was a mercades but we all know those are just a really expensive dodge...

what does it mean?

How do you pronouce it?

Email me? Please! It's keeping me up.

Seriously I want to know and I'm ignorant.
