Remember David Duke? (His website is being blocked by my company’s proxy server.) He ran for president of the United States once. He was Grand Wizard of the Klu Klux Klan once. Apparently he’s been traveling around Europe lecturing about saving the white race from Jews and non-Europeans, etc. Apparently he’s been getting indicted on mail fraud and filing a false tax return. Sometimes I despise the fact I completely support First Amendment rights. Also, sometimes I despise politics, but I digress.

So Sleepy
My boss is en route from London to the United States. Do you think anyone will notice if I slip into his empty office, turn out the light, lie on the floor and take a quick “power nap?” I feel this way every morning. I’m also hungry. Food and sleep are my two masters.
Speaking of my boss, he’s planning on taking a business trip to Japan over Christmas. He hasn’t told his wife yet. I hope she doesn’t read Aaafter Effect. Now I must rest.
Things Learned
Here are a few things I have learned over the past few days:
In order to avoid headaches and a few hours of extra work, don’t miss any steps while upgrading Movable Type.
I’m eagerly anticipating seeing Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, especially after having seen the special edition of Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings on a large screen in a school auditorium compliments of Darren.
I can easily break all personal records in holiday spending now that I’ve actually had income for the past nine months.
A Novel Idea
Amazon.com allows users to create “So you’d like to…” guides which they use as just another way to sell more items. Users group products and write a little “how to” guide. The most interesting one I’ve found so far is So you’d like to watch your Doctor Who Key to Time Series on your PDA.
KC Prime Steakhouse in Lawrenceville (or West Windsor)
I know that at some point, someone is going to search online for a review of the relatively new steak restaurant in Lawrenceville (on the border of West Windsor), New Jersey, KC Prime. There isn’t a lot of information online yet, so I figured I would help out a bit.
Ahhh HBO
So after the Sopranos season finale last night (which was alright but nothing special), I left the TV tuned to HBO. I watched an interesting documentary on women who make more than $200,000 a year. I’m in the wrong business. You can start calling me The New Dennis Hof.
Think I’ll Buy Me A Leer Jet
In this article the CEO of a health benefits company extolled the virtue of companies recognizing employees’ needs to “balance their lives with their family.” I distinctly remember a former emploYEAr of mine telling me distinctly that nothing could be accomplished with a balanced life.
Gotta Love Texas
Texan Killed Friend Who Drank Last Cold Beer
“There was only two beers left, so I took one, and I told Willie not to take my last beer,” Brasher said in a taped statement that was played during the trial.
What it wrong with people? I don’t understand. There are just so many stupid people in the world I can’t bear reading the news anymore. Let the stupid people get the guns they want. Then they can kill each other off. But before they get these guns, these stupid people should also buy more lottery tickets.
Odd, Odd, Odd
I’m not one for posting conversations I have with other people, but I’ll make an exception for a strange moment that took place jus a few minutes ago. I called our corporate travel agency (located in sunny South Carolina) to book a flight for my boss.
Me: Hi, I’d like to book a flight for [boss’s name].
Travel Rep: No problem. What’s your name?
Me: [My name].
Travel Rep: Oh, hi [my name]. Everyone on the floor here talks about you.
Me: …
Travel Rep: Everyone says you’re such a nice guy. [Pause] So, when is he looking to travel?
Severe Weather Alert
Here comes winter. According to People in the Know, we should be gettting four to seven inches of snow tomorrow. Getting home from work will be “fun.”
