They (whoever the mysterious they are) say 'truth is stranger then fiction'. As in, the factual stuff that happens is stranger then any story we could make up. Which brings us to todays questions... 1/ Is truth in fact stranger then fiction? What do you believe. 2/ What is the strangest, yet truthful, thing you can think of? (does not have to involve you, just be truthful to the best of your knowledge) 3/ What is the strangest, yet fictional, th...

       So I get to sleep at a more or less normal hour (a little after midnight). Good for me, much better then the 3 or 4(am) I've been doing the past few nights. Then what happens? My mom wakes me up to fix her computer. The printer had decided it didn't like the paper so it had to be reloaded. But she couldn't tell that, all she had was a computer that didn't appear to be responding (at least from her point of view). So I fixed the paper and it prin...

       You've just been given your perfect job (occupation, place of employement, you get the idea), regardless of qualifications or skills. 1/ What would be your perfect job? 2/ How close are you currently to doing this job? 3/ What skills/abilities/whatnot would you need before you could do this job? 4/ Why arn't you working towards this perfect job? (unless you are, in which case when do you think you'll get there?) 5/ And what is your current job? ...

       Right now I've got over a dozen windows open. And it's doubtful that the number wlll go down much before friday.        One of the windows is a download that I don't want to stop because I'd have to restart it and it would have to reindex everything and it would be bothersome. So I want to let it run until it's done. But that probably won't happen until sometime thursday. It worked all day yesterday, is a little...

       I have five things to say in this article, some connected to each other, some not, so I'm just going to mash them together and call it good        On friday I wrote a "friday five" thing up, as I did for the two fridays before that. For those of you that arn't aware of it, Mignuna used to do "friday five"s but then she stopped. And now she has come back? (or one can hope at least) If she has and wants to reclai...

       You've acquired a genie who will now grant you three wishes, the only restriction being you can't wish for more wishes. 1/ How/where did you acquire the genie/what is the genie in (doesn't have to be a lamp)? 2/ What is your first wish? 3/ What is your second wish? 4/ What is your third wish (those were easy questions to ask )? 5/ Your wishes are done, what do you do with the genie (or their container) now? And a welcome back to Mignuna, she ca...

       As mentioned before, this year the all important job of keeping the white fluffy stuff off the driveway has been passed to me. For years my dad would use a plow on a truck to clear it, but he sold the truck because we had two more cars then drivers (now we have four, go figure).        So it snowed alot a day or two ago (probably over a foot) and I was out blowing it off the driveway. Is frustrating sometimes, I t...

       A while back (a year? year and a half? maybe two years) I got a Drengin.net subscription. I had looked at it at various points in the past but could never talk myself into buying it. But then Galactic Civilizations came out. Or more accuratly it was announced that if you bought a subscription you'd get the game when it was done, even though it was in beta at the time. I looked at what was offered (one future game that looks good, a handful of ex...

       Today is my birthday, and I'm 27 today (assuming my math is correct, I was born in 1978). Yet I'm generally depressed. I'm just not a happy person. I doubt this has anything to do with my birthday (age or other related events). My life is not what I want, I don't think it can be, I definetly don't know how to go about getting it there if it was possible. So I sit here being a whiny maggot (which I often call my brother, yet the title fits me just...

       You've been abducted by aliens. Before they get to the mandatory anal probing, they have some questions on humanity for you. 1/ What does the alien look like (ok, they aren't asking you this one)? 2/ What is humanities best trait and who best demonstrates it? 3/ What is humanities worst trait and who most shows it? 4/ What is the best answer to the meaning of life that humanity has developed? 5/ The aliens will answer any one question to the bes...

       Early tomorrow morning (baring any problems/accidents/whatnot) I'm going to visit my sister at her home in new jersey. I'm actually looking forward to it, I havn't seen her home yet. She's come up here to visit a few times, but I havn't been down there yet. She got married a little over a year ago and we are taking some stuff to her that she left behind (like her bed, nothing important ). So I'm looking forward to seeing her and her husband. Wha...

       As mentioned in an earlier blog, my computer died (or to be more technical the operation system hard drive went bad). Well it looks like I've gotten around that problem.        I got a new computer for my birthday (or at least that was the excuse, even if my birthday is still a few weeks away, although I suspect I could have used any excuse on my parents but that's a completly different story, someone remind me to ...

       You wake up one day (assume it's during winter) and find a foot of snow (for those that don't know what snow is, imagine ice that has been ground up and pulverized into powder, then poured across the landscape) outside... 1/ Upon finding the snow, what is your first thought? 2/ What do you think you'll do differently because of the snow? 3/ What will you wear when you go outside? 4/ How common/rare is this much snow? 5/ The snow also managed to c...

       So's a while's back island_gurl12 wrote an article asking some questions and such. Good for her, asking questions is better then working in ignorance (although finding the answers out yourself can be fun too). Through the answers Gene Nash showed us purple quotes, which was neat and pretty. It was great of him to show us this, but his purple quote didn't quiet match the normal quiets (border was too big). Minor detail and I doubt anyone else w...
