Happy Thanksgiving 2011
What should we be thankful for?
Most everything! Life is mostly beautiful even if it stinks at this time.
Everyone and everybody, have a safe and joyous thanksgiving!
I am too lazy to sort

As I watched J. Edgar, I wondered what hack directed this film. The tone seemed all wrong — it felt campy. Leonardo was bombastic. The makeup looked horrendous. What hack would do this on a biopic?
Clint Eastwood. Wow. I couldn’t believe it.
It’s another strange effort by Eastwood.
He makes the old people look like Charles Foster Kane. He let Leonardo chew some scenery.
2 of 5 stars.
Saving up. I would get it right this moment, but it hasn't been released yet. And I would've gotten it on release, but I'm still deciding on Christmas presents and season tickets. Still. This is on the want list. Beyond wishes. I want one. Like yesterday.http://panasonic.net/avc/lumix/systemcamera/gms/gx1/index.html
I'm definitely getting a new Orioles cap. I make it a ritual almost every spring before the season starts to buy a new cap. I've lost a few out the window, and I changed the size that I wear from 7 1/2 to 7 5/8. I really wear a 60cm hat, but that is in between the two English measurements. The 7 1/2 size is tight and gets tighter as the years go by. The 7 5/8 size makes me look like Robert Andino. The Legend of Bobby Andy lives!So next year I'll be sporting the cartoon bird. Again. I've got a replica of the 83 Orioles cap which people say I wear just because it was the last Orioles World Series winner. I'll always cheer for these fools knowing how frustrating an organization it is. Baseball is baseball and it beats sitting around the house.I also checked out the season ticket prices. They haven't changed, but the seating arrangement has. They moved the price range for my section inward. It's now cheaper to get closer to the dugout. The couple of sections to my left now have the same season ticket price as my section. I bought my tickets in this section because it was as close to the field as I could get without getting gouged. Now they've changed the price for the other sections. Perhaps I should switch up and see if the tickets behind the ball girls are open. The team must need fans.
One thing about the internet, it brings you closer to strangers while still being a stranger. I often like looking at creative people’s blogs. It makes for interesting reads at how they do what they do. When do they find the time to blog?
For respect of Community and to acknowledge that being put on the back may mean cancellation, here’s Dan Harmon’s tumblr. Maybe sometime this week he’ll tell us how he feels about that.
Dreamt this morning. I wouldn't call it a dream though as I was half awake. Perhaps we'll call it subconscious thinking in a slumbered state. Nah, that don't sound right. I'll just call it a dream.Like every dream I write about here, it involves a girl. That's not to say my dreams are always about girls. It's just that I only write up the ones with a girl in it. What's complicating this dream write up is that I don't know which of the usual girls I dream about was the star. In fact, I wondered if I was able to identify any of the others in this dream. Could it be people from IniTech? Or were grade school classmates in it? Perhaps, one or two were family members or Shore Studio friends. I couldn't remember after getting up out of bed. And if I couldn't immediately afterwards, then I can't really say right now. Maybe all my dreams have been a lie. Maybe no one was in them, but me…Here's some of the details I remember. Most of it is fuzzy…We're staying at some hotel for business. There was a cross walk to an overpass. We took it to the overpass. It was me, the girl, and some other people. We had to have been drinking. Someone looked over the side of the overpass and wondered if they could get down from there using this light pole. Everyone wanted to try. Up and over to the light pole and we all slid down to the sidewalk. We had left our shoes in the hotel room. I made the comment that we're all in socks. It didn't matter. We wanted to cross the street in our socks. When we got inside, we waited for the elevator up to take us back to our rooms. I bumped into someone as he was getting off and I was getting on. He asked about some work stuff, and I told the people I was with that I'll see them in a few minutes. I pulled this guy aside and was joined by the girl. She was by my side and she put her arm in my arm. This is when I usually get the funny feeling in the pit of my stomach that signals that I like this. We discussed IniTech work. It was boring that I wanted a drink. Let's hit up the lobby bar. She said yeah and we strode into the bar arm in arm. Then I woke up.It was delicious to remember what it is like to be side by side with a girl. The warm body. The smell of her hair. The solid feel of her shoulder. Of her arm in my arm. Her hand in my hand. Yet, I couldn't place her face. It could be any of the girls I've been infatuated with. Same can be said to the other shades in my dream. I couldn't place their faces. Who were they? They only coalesced into someone recognizable once I started trying to place the faces. She could be I or S or the latest infatuation. The co-workers could've been IniTech or Shore Studios or Ruby's. Definitely not Ruby's, but it could almost be them. Once I thought about it awake, they all took on faces that I thought was there, but really, were they there in my dreams.
Binaries! Get your binaries here!
I think better in octal. Happy 3F day!
And for all you regular humans, it’s 63!
Yeah! It still lingers on the Desktop, but maybe, just maybe we'll see the end of it.Good bye, don't let the doorknob hit you on the way out!
