Parasite

Well, the past 2 days, i've had a parasite attached to my neck... yesterday it was blue, and today it is red... luckily i've been able to get rid of it...

meetings all day yesterday and today, so i had to wear a tie

just completely forgot to write yesterday...

anyways, I discovered the other day that the goa'uld hate portugal... Since the tenth season of stargate sg1 is coming to DVD sometime soon, i figured i'd go back, and start watching the series from the start, figuring that i'd hit the 10th season around the time it came out...

anyways, i was watching the third to last episode of the first season "there but for the grace of god". for those of you who don't know which episode that is (shame on you), thats the one which introduces the quantum mirror, and the concept of alternate realities, when daniel (and yes, we are on a first name basis) goes through to the alternate SGC, which is under attack from the goa'uld. anyways, at some point he is looking at a map of the world, which shows red spots for places devastated by the alien's attack. (i'm going to refer to them as aliens, because its a hell of a lot easier to write than goa'uld). Anyways, a good portion of northern france is red, as well as the entire country of portugal... i'm not really sure what the population density of portugal is, but for some reason the goa'uld decided that the country needed to be wiped completely off the map... with red... and i lied... apparently i've decided that goa'uld isn't actually that hard to type, now that i've actually done it a few times...

so, i didn't have any sort of carrots or snow peas or whatever these past 2 days... yesterday i had a sandwich at some sub shop in crystal city, and today i had an apple...

and now i need to go home and eat some food, because i'm hungry...

And I'm back...

Well, I just had a random thought... the person who invented the phrase "that's so funny, i forgot to laugh" should be beaten...

You might ask, what brought that up... and I couldn't give you an answer... because it just came to me as i was sitting in the lab reading a document...

And I had celery with Peanut Butter and Raisins on them... take that, normality...

Title?

Well, I finally remembered the anecdote that I wanted to share with you... and it turns out it wasn't even an anecdote...

I have come to the conclusion that I would like to be in one of those really bad Sci-Fi movies, and I'd like to play the part of the random dude who gets eaten by the Computer Generated critters, or whatever... I think it would be quite hilarious to have to randomly jiggle and pretend to be bitten and stuff...

They had some contest like this on the Sci-Fi channel, but I couldn't figure out how to enter... I was very sad...

and I had carrots, and they were good...

And now I must go home for the weekend... and I shan't be in until Tuesday, because of what ever holiday happens to fall on Monday. Don't know what it's called, but I do know that I get it off work... in fact, my boss has mandated that everyone take the holiday, as opposed to banking it for later...

today

I have to pee, and then i'm going climbing...



well, i'm glad that's been immortalized forever on this stupid blog thing...

random crap i've found on cnn.com

oh, and there's this link on cnn.com under the link "Free computer virus finds willing victims":

http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/internet/05/23/computer.virus.reut/index.html

i'm sort of curious if clicking on that link turns you into a willing victim... i doubt it, but i'm staying away, just to make sure...

oh, and:

Young climber scales 'Seven Summits'
http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/05/23/young.climber.ap/index.html

congrats to her...

and on a related note, any one have a few bajillion extra dollars that could go to the "Dan wants to climb the seven summits" fund?

because i'm taking donations...

Forgot again

As I was driving in to work today, i had a great anecdote that I was going to share with you all... but alas, i have forgotten it again...

anyways, I shall instead tell you about Spiderman 3... or at least part of it... at one point the one-armed professor guy (who should eventually become the lizard dude) is looking at a sample of the Venom symbiote (even though its never referred to as Venom in the movie). He looks through a microscope at some single celled organisms... there is one dark one that is bouncing around, running into the other ones... when the movie got dull (which happened disturbingly often), i would think back to that scene, and it would crack me up...

and in terms of other movies i've seen lately, you should go see Hot Fuzz... made by the same folk that made Shaun of the Dead... sorta slow (but still rather funny) at the beginning, but picks up for a rather fast paced and hilarious ending...

and also, just got into the TV show heroes... awesome... I highly recommend... you can watch the entire first season (all that's been shown on TV) on nbc.com... not that i would know anything about that... uh, yeah... ahem... hey look, trees...

and i had snow peas again today... i ate lunch a little late, so they dried out a little... still tasted good, but weren't as crisp and water-ful... i realize there's probably a better word than "water-ful", but i'm too lazy to come up with one...

and besides, is there anyone actually reading this thing? based on the lack of comments, i'm going to assume that everyone doesn't like me anymore, and am going to use this space to bitch and whine about stuff...

oh wait, never mind... i did that before...

Oops///

oops... forgot to post today...

and i don't feel like doing it now...

Here I am

Well, here I am... not on a plane on the way to Albuquerque. Trip got cancelled for me at the last minute... Funding issues...

anyways, you all know what that means... 3 more days where i can update this thing, rather than leaving you in a state of limbo wondering what exactly is going on with my carrot intake...

I had snow peas again today. One was rather salty... kinda weird, and unexpected, but not too bad...

ta da!

and just when you thought slinkies weren't hilarious...

and i guess it wasn't an anecdote after all...

Me again

but then again, really who else would it be...

anyways, another thrilling and exciting day at work...

I had some interesting anecdote to relate to you, but completely have forgotten it... so, alas, you shall have to go the weekend un-anectodified... what a terrible shame that is...

had carrots again today... they were quite tasty...

Update

Had snow peas... good...

really bored... don't feel like updating this thing...

Intriguing

is it just me or, does it look like this guy is playing the instrument with his nose?

I have returned

Well, since I took a day off from posting on this blog thingy, you can probably figure out the duration i was in florida...

Left monday afternoon, and got back in late last night...

We went to Eglin Air Force Base, which is right by Fort Walton Beach Florida. If that means nothing to you, its about 50 miles east of pensacola. If that means nothing to you, find a damn map...

Anyways, we ended up staying at the Holiday Inn Sunspree resort, which was right on the beach. I could probably have chucked something off the balcony of my room, and hit the beach... and i didn't even have a beach front room...

Spent most of yesterday in meetings, so i didn't get to enjoy florida all that much, although i did go for a nice (but very short) walk on the beach before dinner on Monday....

and I had carrots again today... they were good, as always... they were a little bit wet, as the bag that they were in also had a bunch of water in it...

florida! (?)

another short day at the office... this time i'm not leaving early just to go home, but am in fact going to florida for a trip... i'm so excited... oh wait, no i'm not... the whole day in meetings tomorrow? yay...

anyways, no carrots today... snow peas again... and they're good...

Yay for me...

Best day ever...

got in at 7:30 AM... leaving at 8:45 AM...

No carrots tomorrow...

Well, at least there's gonna be no update about my carrots tomorrow...

I'm coming in early, dealing with some stuff, and then leaving again. So, it'll be a short day. Alas I won't be having lunch here, so i won't be able to keep you updated.

I'm sorry. I know somehow you all will survive...

Snow Peas

Well, the snow peas are fantastic...

I might have to incorporate them more into my lunch, to provide some variety...

And I'd like to thank my brother for his very informative first post... looks like this'll be what ths blog will be about... carrots (and possibly snow peas), as well as us insulting each other..

PS. You suck, watchdog... and your name sucks too...

You is dum

HA.

It's on the internet so it must be true.

You is dum.

Excellent... I can edit your posts... score one for me...

New Author

Now, in addition to hearing whatever is on my mind, I'd like to present a new author of this blog, who will hopefully add a lot to our meaningful discussions:

My brother...

So, lets see how long this lasts before I try to figure out how to kick him off...

Updating progress

I'll be updating this thing with images and other whatnot, as i figure out what i'm doing...

and a special thanks to my brother for all his images...

you can visit his bloggy thing to get your fill of big guns, crotch kicks of the week, beers of the week, as well as random other bits and bobs at http://50cal.wordpress.com/

Enjoy.

Take that Facebook...

Welcome to Dan's Daily Drivel...

This is the successor to my notes on Facebook, which I sadly can't access at work anymore...

So, now I shall update you all on my carrots and other random things that are on my mind, in this forum...

Now I just have to come up with a way to let my faithful facebook readers know about my new venue for blathering...

Anyways, what spurred this distinct lack of laziness is that I have something that will revolutionize the world of my daily carrot intake.

Today, I don't have any carrots in my lunch. Instead I have snow peas... or sugar snap peas, or whatever the hell you want to call them...

Since its only 10:30, I haven't eaten them yet, but I'm sure they'll be good...

I'll probably update this after lunch, just so you can know how they were.

And that's all for now...
