For no damn good reason

I think "semistate" is a uniquely Indiana term.

Oh. It was someone screenprinting t-shirts for washington and north daviess, whose basketball teams were in the semistate on saturday.

I just clicked on a link on the washington paper to an article called "busy day." It will probably be another picture of a goddamned windmill.

Not a defender of the president by any stretch, but I'm getting quite the kick out of watching people get spun up over the fact that he filled out a bracket instead of going over to Japan to fill water buckets to pour into nuclear reactors.

Surely none of these complainers would be part of the subset of people whose workplace productivity goes down during March Madness - surely not! Me, I just think it's dumb that he picked all four #1s to go to the Final Four.

March Madness side note: Incidentally, what is "chalk" derived from when referring to the tournament? As in, "Obama went all chalk when selecting his Final Four" (i.e., he picked all number 1 seeds to go to the Final Four). Its usage aggravates me.

Why is it when someone gives a vast sum of money to a church, it's supposed to be a wonderful thing, but if they give it to a cult, something's wrong with them? What's the difference?

I just want the world to know that I abhor my Curve 8520 to the point where I don't even know if I want another Blackberry. And no, I don't want a goddamn iPhone to replace it.

Seen in CNN mobile's "Top Video" section: "Can a fingerprint reveal intelligence?" Duh. If, say, you've burned yours off, then chances are you're not the sharpest knife in the deck.

I initiated setup of a couple of new tasks in the system for one of my colleagues this week, and was notified today that setup was complete and his charge numbers are available for charging. I detailed how much he could spend in labor and travel on each task. We indicated to one another that we looked forward to working with one another again. We're professionals.

I wonder if learning to throw a boomerang this summer would make my life more fulfilling than it is now.

Hey, would you look at that. My arm's bleeding.

For me, it doesn't get any better than when he does "Cop Killer."

Here's what's got me bummed the fuck out today.

Apparently, and I discovered this while googling myself this morning because I am just that fucking vain, I share a name with a convicted cop killer.

Why should I have to change my name? He's the one who sucks.

PS - no, my name is not Mumia Abu-Jamal.

It turned out to be a pretty good weekend.

I have no idea what "Viva La Juicy" means, but it's on an air freshener in the car parked next to me at work today. This one of the things I'm probably too old to learn about.
