Why worry about you know who...

You should be worried about "you no poo!" The constipation sensation that's sweeping the nation. -- From Harry Potter VI The Half Blood Prince. (Quite likely my favorite line of the entire volume.)

OK so the blog woes seem to be fixed thanks to Scott for buying the shareware SFTP server software for his machine.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled nonsensical bullshit that is Back-Talk.

At the dentist

editor's note: this was stuck in the colon of blogsptipation for a long time... and no I don't have an editor

I saw my dentist today. Well OK I was upside down and had a big ass towel (I don't mean I had a little paper napkin on an aligator clip no this was a god forsaken beach towel on my chest and I'll get to that in a min) on my chest. Don't worry under that was the aligator napkin. Now don't think it's like made from Aligator no no please don't come to my dentist and throw paint around because they are using repitilian napkins, K? OK I don't really see her because she's seeing me I'm in a rather precarious position upside down with the towel and she looks at my teeth. then she talks to me again I'm still upside down but at least there isn't anything in my mouth (other than the 3 tons of metal that make up my braces a few rubber bands and a small servant boy from Guatamala who does maintence on my braces when my teeth stop hurting. If they aren't hurting they aren't moving. OK people just a reminder what braces do is DRAG YOUR TOOTH THROUGH your bone. Not over, no. Around? nope. through. OK I'm whining, but just deal. You can always click to another blog so stop complaining, k?

So what I wanted to talk to you about was not the dentist. No. It's not the towel or the biting reptiles no siree bob. We need to talk about how your life will improve with Amway. um sorry wrong blog. Thats whole 'nother thing entirely.

They have a new tool. Yes they have dental trade shows I'm sure and at the last one they introduced a new tool. It's some kinda mutherfucking ultrasonic water shooting teeth cleaner. (Everything they have in that place has something to do with teeth talk about obesssive dentists... jeeezus) OK let's talk here for a second about what ultasonic means. It breaks down nicely into ULTRA which no is not derivided from latin "to overcharge for no reason" no it means above. Sonic being what I can hear. Um this thing makes NOISE. I can hear it. I'm not a dog. I shouldn't be able to hear into the ultra sonic range. I should not. Oh boy can I hear this thing. So at the convention when they introduced it as ultra sonic I know some fucktard dentist (not mine they are really cool) goes, "Ya ok so can we add a really high pitch sound to it to maintian the proper level of discomfort for the patient?" And he got a resounding "HELL YES" from the biker dentists (They are a special interest group of the ADA its the HADA Hell's Angles Dental Association they specialize in restorative dental work after a really serious punch) so that scared the shit out of the ultra sonic water spitting teeth cleaning device people so they added back in that really terrible drill sound.

The best part is all you can say when they have that thing in your mouth is "OW" have you noticied that you can, no matter how many things they have in your mouth you can still get the word, "OW" out.

OK so my teeth hurt that's the bottom line. See this is the bottom line. Right ere...
no wait this is the bottom line ya...

some days you win

So today didn't feel like a winning day kinda from the get go. In fact it was pretty god damn rainy and I don't mean that like the water falls from the sky. But anyways

We had pool league tonight. It was great. We warmed up on one table and the "visiting" team asked us to move to another table (the table I lost on big time the time I went before) so we said OK. I ate some nacho's and drank soda all night (my tab was 5.25 at the end of the night.) They give us free soda refills. woo hoo.

OK so the long and short of it is I kicked fucking ass. I had to win 2 games out of a possible 3. I totally just won my two games straight up. He didn't lose I won. He always had balls on the table when I was done. It was sweet. Our team did even better winning straight games til we took the match. I was quite happy with the results. Maybe next time I'll get a team photo to post. Thanks and shout outs to Teague for the Loudest Fucking "Time OUT" I've ever heard.

I also love pool because it's so dirty. balls, sticks and holes... oh my. I think I might need a new shaft myself.. Not that mine doesn't work, it does... I dropped it and it has the tiniest dent in it... so ya I need a new shaft... for my stick in which to hit the balls into the hole. OK now I'm just being silly....

GTD doesn't die, it just gets cold

So I had a tool melt down and I lost my system. My system is mostly GTD, but that's another story.

So I begged/borrowed but did not steal a new lil tablet at work. I'm thinking of buying one just like it maybe as it would replace my hand held completely. I would use the hand held for geocaching only, but this might do that too. Anyways not my point.

So my system got stale. Really stale. I went back and spent an hour doing my review and I recreated each and every one of my tasks into oulook (I'm running a pre-release version that I totally love). I had that flood of good feeling seeing all my work in one place. Every possible next action is in the list... oh ya

I have a system.

It was my birthday yesterday

It was a great birthday. I had a great party (thanks Gina) and my parents were there. We had some last minute cancellations, but I think a good time was had by all.

It's another square on the calendar. I can't tell the difference between yesterday and the day before but I can certainly fucking tell the difference between this birthday and last.

no. no no nooooo

I am not watching the football game. Yes I know it's the superbowl, yes I know it's the Seahawks yes I live in the greater Seattle area, but no. The answer is no.

Why? Out of respect for the team. You think I'm joking, don't you? You think I'm being absurd that can't possible be respect for the hard work in question. Yes it is. I respect what they've done, but I'm not interested. My lack of interest is independent of the job they do on the field. I don't want to be the guy who comes in at the very end and then roots for my home team. No. I'm glad they are winning, but I wouldn't have spent the time to watch (let along *go* to) one of their regular season games so I have no right to be a fan now. I wasn't a fan then and I'm technically not a fan now. So I likely won't know who won until morning. Yes it really is that bad.

I have respect for what they do, enough not to watch them do it.

last night

So it started out by teaching a bunch of Jr. High kids some magic for a play Deonn is doing with them. Great fun. I hope I gave them enough material. I'll go back again as they rehearse at least a couple of times.

Then we went to Mexican food and then we went to see John (Deonn's John not Jon) in a play in Redmond. It was really funny and because it was opening night some of the actors were surprised at the level of laugh I think. When you rehearse for so long it gets less funny so you forget what it's like reading or hearing it the first time. I enjoyed it a lot.

Boring post? yes.
