My podcast list has not just wrapped on itself. I haven’t listened to the last LLAP episode yet, and the new one just came out.
Ah well, lots to listen to while sitting on the beach in Mexico.
March 19th, 2009 at 5:24 am

WNDR – I would like to play along with your little reindeer game. Is there a deadline?
March 19th, 2009 at 6:08 am
Wolf, me too! I’ll work on something, but can’t promise it in any sort of timely fashion!
March 19th, 2009 at 6:08 am
J0e – By the end of the weekend, So I can get the episode to gether before the dead line of 28th.
March 19th, 2009 at 6:10 am
EssBee – Feel free. The more submissions I have means I will be able to work ahead a bit.
So how was the bath?
March 19th, 2009 at 6:17 am
Great bath today, thanks! I think I sound truly dyslexic when I read out loud, so won’t be doing that again for the Deadpan, and didn’t enjoy that part. But still, squeaky clean here.
Here’s some exciting (for me) news: I am cutting off my hair today. I have my ziploc bag ready for my 12″ braid that’s getting chopped and mailed to Locks of Love. Scary! Short-haired EssBee. Eeek!
March 19th, 2009 at 6:24 am
Wndr : HAHAHAHHHAhahahhaha! Good one!
No really, I’ll see what I can do but I have the “Excellent” relatives visiting this week and “I need quite for about 20 minutes” wouldn’t mean ANYTHING to them.
One of the fun bits – Her telling me the same story she told me 20 minutes ago … and earlier in the day AND the day before about how forgetful her husband has gotten.
MMMmmmmmad sir.
March 19th, 2009 at 6:54 am
I need to work on this:
The Google search for “climb into my spoon” reveals the phrase has yet to penetrate beyond the Deadpan.
In a further search along Happy Chef lines, I was reminded that there is a former Chef about 20 minutes up the highway from my house. http://is.gd/o1Md
I also thus far have no recent photos of myself with any Really Big Things. Probably the easiest (aside from the repurposed Chef) would be the Crow.

Love Long and Prosper #108 is out, but linked on iTunes to the wrong feed so if you downloaded it already, check the length – it should be an hour. If it’s 13 minutes long, you’ll need to delete and re-download.
The 13 minute show is actually The Computer King’s show – so listen to that too! Oops

So, everyone needs to do a “climb into my spoon” post on their blog/journal/facebook, etc and point it back here? Kick starting a meme into the cold freezing night of the internet….so to speak?

Once again, the challenge has ended. Today was the final weigh in day for, what has become, the traditional start of the year weight loss challenge at my company. I have served as the de facto chairman of the event once again.
77 answered the call to try and reduce themselves by 7% over the first 10 weeks of the year. 34 succeeded, including myself. I managed to pull down 22 lbs, for a 9.5% drop. The best performer this year shed 43 lbs and reduced himself by almost 15%.
Now, the hard part is to try to keep it off for the rest of the year.
March 19th, 2009 at 5:30 pm
You got that right Ed. I’m happy to report the 20 lbs I loss from running has stayed off for the entire year. Well more or less. At one point I was around 171, but lately I’ve hovered closer to 175. But I’m inching it back down again.
March 19th, 2009 at 5:59 pm
Ed – I think that shrink wrap and a storage closet might be handy tools in helping to keep the weight off. Just remember to pull them out every few days and hose them off.
March 19th, 2009 at 6:01 pm
Re: “… and have a beard”
Okay, I always get confused on this one. Is that when a gay guy has a girlfriend ?
March 19th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
Ed: That’s great news! Congrats!

Dammit, I can’t get to my email and work…so, still don’t have my password for LLAP.
Anyway – CJ – I’m fairly sure that the jeans you “remember” weren’t actually for sale, but were part of the premise of some 70’s movie. I only remember commercials for it (why would I remember this, I was like 5 or 6 – could this really be my earliest memory? how sad….anyway…back to the original thought)
I have a title of “So Fine” in my memory. I’d plug that one into IMDB (which I also can’t get to from work) and see if that jogs the noggin.

I look into it and it’s black
Why can’t I feel?
My skin should crack and peel
I want the fire back
Now, through the smoke she calls to me
To make my way across the flame
To save the day or maybe melt away
I guess it’s all the same
So, I will walk through the fire
Cause where else can I turn?
I will walk through the fire
And let it

I enjoyed the BSG finale, and I think it wrapped up nicely. But I can’t help but feel like they tried to cram about a season’s worth of answers into two episodes.

Well still haven’t watched the BSG finale, but the latest Dollhouse…wow.
It’s going to get canceled….

Can’t remember if I mentioned this already, but my hubby bought me the 1st season of BSG on HD so now I’m going to actually watch it. I’m pretty excited looking forward to it.
March 21st, 2009 at 11:04 am
You know, I’ve never had much hope for the new president, but I was at least looking forward to the end of foot-in-mouth disease. Apparently, that was too much to ask for.
March 21st, 2009 at 11:49 am
Seriously? After the last 8 years you can honestly be down on the guy after only being in office for 2 months??
BSG finale- wait.. I don’t want to spoil anything if everyone hasn’t seen it. I enjoyed it, but what slightly annoyed by certain things.

March 21st, 2009 at 5:02 pm
Here’s a fun game to play at home -
Which of the following 5 quotes, is the one that people are trying to make a big giant deal out of, because it was said by the current President.
“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”
“You work three jobs? … Uniquely American, isn’t it? I mean, that is fantastic that you’re doing that.” —to a divorced mother of three, Omaha, Nebraska
“Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream.”
“Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren’t able to practice their love with women all across this country.”
(My bowling ability) “It’s like the Special Olympics or something.”
+++++++++++++++
Gee, how quickly we lose perspective in this country.
March 21st, 2009 at 6:08 pm
The Special Olympics quote?
March 21st, 2009 at 6:13 pm
The BSG finale..I can’t help feeling it would have been a better ending if they had just ended the series after the FTL jump to X.

No spoilers here though.

Good catch on the Rorschach birthday, Amy! And way to go all out!! That deserves bigger blog coverage than Deadpan.
A poke from the Smarty Hotties!!
Happy Travels, EssBee.
Thanks everyone for holding off on the BSG spoilers. If you want – I’ll make a spoiler-friendly post to discuss…? If the BSG finale merits its own discussion post…?
I stopped in to say something witty, but I got nothin.
Goodnight, Starbuck.
March 21st, 2009 at 10:14 pm
I’m going to watch the first season of BSG in HD this month. So, I guess no fun spoilerific chat for me. . . although really . . . It’ll be like months before I see the end so I’ll forget.

March 22nd, 2009 at 7:59 am
BSG SPOLIER ALERT!!!!!!!!!- you have been warned
I won’t say too much in case this get read-
the Starbuck explanation annoyed me
the lack of Daniel info annoyed me (although I am wondering if they are saving that for that 2 hour the cylon side of the story movie thing they are doing.
The fact that Balter made it to the end annoyed me :) Although 1 thing I was wondering was are they basically saying that Balter and Caprica 6 become angels themselves?? The visions of themselves they both see… is that them as angels?
I loved the old cylon toasters vs new cylon toasters fight scenes.
Hugh and I generally liked the finale except those few annoyances I mentioned
I cried over Adama and Rosalyn :) I was totally sobbing like a baby. LOL. I am such a sap.

… and a day later …
Yes Van, the special Olympics quip.
The others are a sampling of the quotes the former president issued on a weekly if not daily basis. He was such risk at saying something offensive/stupid/dangerous that at fund raising functions … donors were forbidden to bring recording devices around him. (I got that directly from an attendee of one of these functions).
March 22nd, 2009 at 12:17 pm
Yes, the one lesson that Obama has mostly learned is to make sure that teleprompter is always up and running. Bad things happen when he’s allowed to speak on his own.

So Mt. Redoubt finally blew three times last night. Sounds impressive, though under cover of darkness, of course. The USGS has of course been monitoring it and I had been hearing since January that it was imminent.

Didn’t see “Knowing” but I went and saw “Taken”.
Action adventure that you’ve seen before. Any of you kids ever see Bronson’s “Death Wish” series?
Action sequences we’re chocked full-o-action.
First third of the movie was painful “set-up” for the rest of the film. It was like everyone (Including the director) just wanted to “get on with it”.
Over all … Sure, give it a look – but I’d wait till you can download it from Amazon for $1.99.

Wow, CJ figured out the secret of the whole series and has just begun watching!
:)
tip for the day – water heaters aren’t cheap and need to be replaced on occasion. Check yours out – if it’s leaking into the drip pan, budget for a new one soon. Also, if you are a family with kids using lots of hot water for laundry, showers, and dishes I think the traditional tank design is probably going to be the most economical solution. The “tankless” ones have about 2-4x the installed cost and I don’t see my usage pattern providing enough energy savings for the cost difference.
Enjoy your Tuesday.

I have seen that Hobotopia site before. . . . Call me a cretin; I didn’t get it the first time, either.

Something you should never have to hear from your boss:
I had a really weird dream last night and you were in it, but I’m thinking I probably shouldn’t tell you about it
March 25th, 2009 at 11:02 am
Sorry I missed you on FB, Van! My computer coughed.
March 25th, 2009 at 11:05 am
EssBee: Um… yeah. I certainly don’t ever want to hear my boss say that. ;)

Never, ever.

In honor of MD’s repeated saga of BSOD, I share with you a great thread on WTF moments in software:

This made me crack up.
Every once in a while, I take a break and look up a Japanese word/expression that I don’t know. So, just a while ago, I look up the expression yareyare [やれやれ] to find that it is an exclamation of relief or disappointment.
What’s funny is the example sentence:
やれやれã€å¥³ã‚’é¸ã‚“ã§çµå©šã™ã‚‹ã“ã¨ã«ãªã‚‹ã®ã‹ãƒ»ãƒ»ãƒ»ã€‚ Maybe I will settle down with a woman.
Relief? Disappointment? Confusion? ;)

Wow, I could use “やれやれ” to describe just about all of 2008.
March 25th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
I. Am. Exhausted.

I really don’t think I could hate my job any more than I do at this moment.
March 25th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
You have my sympathies, EssBee. I’d buy you a beer if it would help. And for anyone else that needs one. :)
March 25th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
*hugs* for EssBee
I don’t need a beer, but I’d love a nap. I just did a head count – no wonder I’m tired. I had 19 kids in my house and backyard eating pizza and running amok.
Only my daughter and I are here now – my son is sleeping and all is quiet.

Oh, boy. 8-18 inches of snow predicted for Denver over the next 48 hours.

8 to 18 inches ! “やれやれâ€

So I’m thinking about hosting a Def Jam Comedy hour with the Farpoint Recap, allow anyone a chance to spend 5-10 minutes doing their own comedy routine. One idea is to have people make fun of me for a change. Does this sound interesting to anyone, and what would be an acceptable amount of time to give people to write and record their material?
The idea here is Deadpan has the Palooza, JT’s Indie Christian podcast has the Poetry Slam… It makes sense for the Recap to have Standup Comedy. Which would be open to pretty much everyone.

Dub: That’s a great idea. I wish I could come up with something, but I’m barely making my own commitments right now. Fuckity-やれやれ-hell. :(
March 25th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
I just realized … as I finished the latest WNDR Radio Ep, that I didn’t manage to record a podcast review for Wolf.
“やれやれâ€
March 25th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
Dub,
I love the idea. If I were witty enough, I’d be all over that. My little brother does stand-up and I could probably coerce him into recording something. :)
March 25th, 2009 at 8:04 pm
Dubshack: I agree, that would be cool.
I just created a new, Watchmen-inspired Bitstrip!

I’m getting a lot of people saying its a great idea but don’t have time or aren’t witty enough to do it. I may have to redefine this thing so people don’t feel so intimidated.
