An Evening of JoCo

I love this man's music. Well, he looks like a kid with excess hair. Luis would look like without the facial hair (although the baldness has enough aging qualities by itself...)

Jonathan Coulton, baby, the guy who wrote The Presidents (see last night's last posting). He's wonderful. Writes the most amazing songs. Right this moment, I'm listening to Soft Rocked By Me, a love song but still with that witty sense of humour that I have to adore... Intelligent humour is so hard to find. But almost all of his songs have funny lyrics. Some of my favourites are up : Code Monkey, Chiron Beta Prime, etc. There's one called W's Duty, which he doesn't sing - it is just clips of George W. Bush's voice saying, "Duty, duty, duty, do your duty." There are plenty more lines in there, but they all have the word "duty" in there... a particular favourite of this moron's.

I get to badmouth the President. I live in the free country of the United States and I voted - therefore I get to gripe about the present (and really any other) incumbent. I must say, I have a conundrum... I hate all of the new candidates... which reminds, what the heck is a Ron Paul? I've passed signs for this guy on the way into and home from work, as well as something on North Beverwyck, reading, "Google Ron Paul". Someone has WAY too much free time on their hands...

I have too much cynicism. These guys (and now gals) are all lying people who will say anything to get into office (I cannot why - HR can be a thankless job but that is ALWAYS a thankless job - someone somewhere will undoubtedly be unhappy with what you've just done!

Lately I'm making people a lot happier, but if I did this all the time and someone was always mad at me, I'd have to move on to something far more satisfying. Really. I felt that way at USI and I moved on. Glad of it, too. Who'd thought I'd be where I am now!

Now I'm listening to SkyMall. More funny stuff.

I actually have to run across the street to the squadhouse to put away the last of the meeting notes! Then I am done with that.

To show that turning 40 has its deleterious effects, how about this: last night was our monthly meeting and I TOTALLY forgot! Completely! I didn't remember until tonight, about an hour ago! How bad is that?!

LOL I had to laugh, because if Ron Paul weren't listed on the Repug side, and was getting more than 10% of the vote, I'd give him my support. He's actually fairly interesting and I've known of him for some time, but the country isn't ready for someone radical. LOL When and if the independants or libertarians break free and become a party to be reckoned with, there will certainly be more of those type people to step up.
Check him out tho, I found a few things very interesting altho I did not vote for him yesterday.

p.s. LOVE your new picture! 40 is being kind to you!

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
