Anaconda is playing on one of the EPIX channels. Jennifer Lopez's face is almost an entirely different shape than it is today.

Is this guy really a big draw? Do you get up in the morning and say to yourself I have to get down to see this guy that works in a pawn shop?

Are you in line at the DMV, holding for Sprint customer service, or trying to get around downtown Kansas City right now?
In any case, it's good practice for trying to get somewhere on the grounds during the Iowa State Fair.

After they fired my co-worker last week, I pillaged her electronic stapler. It's now plugged in and residing on my desk. My observations:

1. I have finally "made it"
2. I genuinely feel lazier for having it
3. For something that dispenses 1/2 inch pieces of metal, it's the size of a Volkswagen bug
4. Despite not being able to slide a finger underneath, I feel like I will inevitably injure myself somehow
5. My carbon footprint just grew a size for no real reason
6. I rarely staple anything
7. It's loud, but not loud enough to drown out my idiot co-workers on the opposite side of the cube
8. It's not the most useless or strange thing on my desk (that would be a seashell I got from Myrtle Beach when I was 10)

Not exactly sure.

In the first hour I would have: seen how many staples I could do in 10 seconds, how many staples can fit in a page without bending the paper. How many pages it could staple, how many staples it holds (would probably run out while I’m doing this stuff), how far I can get the staples to shoot if bottom is not attached right and how far it would drive a staple into my finger (not on purpose).

I like your stream of consciousness on this. :)

The number of my friends who have turned into old people kinda depresses me. 60 being the new 40 my ass. Damn, 60 be the new 75 for some. :(

I find MRI's strangely relaxing. Too noisy to actually doze off but enjoyed the music. The music channel i picked for it today delivered. Had not heard this Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders song in like forever.

Fingers crossed. :)

Trick, of course, is that there are still 90 billion U.S.history PhDs looking for about 8 jobs. That's some math I can't really change.
But, that said, about 3 of us would be military vets, and I'd likely be the only former officer. Virginia Military Institute might think that's important?

I may actually be anxious to go to work tomorrow now.

Zoo Day! The weather was great. The library pass also included the membership discount for everything!

We learned that going early was bad because most of the animals were not out until 11 or so.

The coolest part aside from the train ride was when the lioness stopped on the ledge of the viewing window for a bit. Too short to get a picture of Z right next to her.
