Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

[cyrocksmypants]

Montreal is pretty, yo. The oddly young dad of two 5-10 year old boys at the fancy place dinner seemingly trying to impress his father & grandfather by explaining vectors and imaginary numbers to the kids gained no points from me. Dude, the kids did not get it, despite how brilliant you thought they were. This was evidenced by one saying "I've got a letter for 4! It's 'H'"! Dad also tried to explain compounding interest.

Dh asked me what time it was and I said "bedtime". No, not for me. The kids!

DH also said I couldn't order anymore rum after that.

None of this made sense. Therefore moar rum!

Even if they say that, I'd imagine it's really more to try to get higher attendance.

Hold it on a Sat. nite on a home FB weekend and the attendance would be 12,000+. Fri nite away FB weekend and competition with high school fb draws it down some.

College game day in Madison, and I'm spending the whole day up until game time in the library, boo

On a different note, one of my friends showed me this music video, I really like the song but also just like watching the machine go. There are also videos on how it actually works:

So on my laptop, there's a small little section on the lower right hand corner that nothing works. Like, you can't click on anything. Including the page down arrow. No idea what it is. I thought maybe some kind of virus, so I ran a full scan and nothing came up. Really weird. Anyone come across this sort of thing before?

So if you have your internet browser in full screen the page down arrow doesn't work but if you make it half screen it does?

Booooooooooo.

I know, but I have to correct 80 citations and make sure they are saying what the author claims they are by next Friday, and I won't really be able to do any next Friday so they need to get done

Went to Madness, parquet was pretty darn full they had the balcony closed off. Highlight was Donavan Jackson with the upset (IMO) in the three point contest. The rest of it was pretty good got a little sample of Cyclone BB so it was a good night. Personally I would like to dump Sesker and have JW give it a try, but then I guess it would have to be held after a home game or on a home game weekend so he would be available to do it. Saw KC & Papalew in the parking lot, but they were too far away to say Hi to, so "HI" belatedly to KC & Lew.

I was disappointed in the dunk contest - I wanted to see Burton break the hoop with one. But the three-point contest was pretty impressive. You could sure tell where their individual sweet spots were...and for Jackson, that seemed to be the entire arc!

Made sense to me...CG's maternal instincts fueled by rum, DH missed another window.

Yep. But it's not just internet browser. I opened up photos just to see if it was the internet, and I can't click on anything in the folder in the lower right hand side either. But the taskbar does work on the lower right hand side. Not a touch screen computer either. Probably worth pointing out.

I had a monitor go bad in a similar fashion...a random spot stopped responding to any attempted actions. Replace the monitor, everything was fine.
I know you said this is a laptop...I'm not completely sure if the laptop screen functions the same way the monitor screen does.

Totally different since I am betting your monitor got plugged up with cat hair and overheated.

Time to push sloth to the side and so some plastering in the garage so I can paint tomorrow. Gloomy and poopie looking outside but it is warm so must take advantage while I can still plaster/paint and stuff.

Doubtful. It was my computer at work.

@ImJustKCClone I'm impressed at you biting your tongue in regards to the Trump goons on my Facebook. While I feel I made enough of a point that it didn't need backup, I still was fully thinking you were going to chime in after liking my comment.

Looks like the internet has bested KC again.

I feel your pain!

Nope. It was a demonstration of me, holding my tongue...or fingers, as it were.
