Here you go: first some pics, a lowbrow moment, then a joke or two and finally a few links - Spook.
Lowbrow Moment:
(I steal these, not experience them. But, I may have some empathy for them)
Here in (most of) North America:
It is illegal to pay someone to kill you.
It is illegal to pay someone to fuck you.
But you are supposed to tip your bartender for simultaniously, though slowly, doing both to you.
JOKES!
The Preggo and The Kid.
A three year old walked over to the pregnant lady while waiting with his mother in the doctors office.
He inquisitively asks the lady," why is your stomach so big?" She replied, "Im having a baby."
With big eyes,he asked, "Is the baby in your stomach?" She said, "He sure is."
Then the little boy with a puzzled look asked, "Is it a good baby?" She said, "oh yes, its a real good baby."
With even a more surprised and shocked look he said, "Then why in the world did you eat him?"

Random Comments: Debt is fun, it allows you to do things you otherwise couldn't have, but you'll pay for it later!

Beat Insomnia with Blue Energy [LINK] A Lifehacker article.
An active mind can keep you awake well past your bedtime, but a simple meditation technique can help you forget the stress of the day, relax and fall asleep faster.
After a long day of work it's not always the case that my mind and body agree that it's time to wind down and get some sleep. Usually at about 11 PM my body is tired but when I lie down to sleep my mind keeps at a constant whirr. This battle between mind and body is the recipe for insomnia.

Well, I've been busy.
I've moved and was kind of in limbo as for a place to stay for a little while, but I now have a place to keep my bed and other stuff. It's not the best place (I had to clean up this dump, and will be all throughout the fall) and the heat is going to cost a fortune when it gets cold (note to self, insulate as much as possible), but at least the rent is free and I have lots of space for myself.
I just wish I had better furniture. (AAH! No couch or dining table!)
I'll resume posting again and will prepare a few linkfests this weekend as I have more time again.
Cheers,
Dave.
