Sword of the Samurai again

Happy birthday!

Aftershock from an earthquake in Virginia just shook our building in Manhattan... was freaky.

How tall is Putin? Obama is almost a right angle in that picture and comes up to the emperor's nose while Putin is pretty much straight up and down and only a skoch taller than the emperor.

John Legend and Sade concert was awesome, probably the best that I've ever been to. Now is stuck in my head.

Had family in town over the weekend, hard to believe I hadn't seen my dad or brothers in over a year and half. Now I'm cleaning up a bit and thinking how I'm not looking forward to going back to work. Also got some good and bad new about my grandma, she is now cancer free but has just been diagnosed with alzheimers. Tomorrow, Sade and John Legend concert.

Note to self: join the Navy

I can only speak about US cities but Chicago, NYC and DC have a lot of interesting sites and museums.

That's my second choice. Maybe we can do a package deal

Hey! New York is awesome. I vote we get rid of New Jersey.

We have our summer outing today at work, a cruise around Manhattan. Should be fun. I hope.

It is Steamworks. Crap! I was really looking forward to this game too. If I buy it then use a crack so I don't need Steam is that still bad?

Not really funny but mildly amusing, strange baby names illegal. EDIT: Favorite part

Working from home today. I ran a little too much yesterday and my ankle and I had a disagreement over just how far he would be willing to carry me before he gave out. Note to self: Self (because that's what I call myself) stick to 2 miles or less

Thought about pre-ordering the Star Wars MMO but 150 bucks for the collectors edition is a bit much. In other news been swamped at work lately because we got a new boss and a big new project and two guys left for greener pastures. I've been tempted to leave as well but even though I've had a few offers I haven't had the right offer and I would feel bad about leaving in the middle of such a big project.

What do you base that on? (not sarcastic) I haven't been able to find any data on it's sales figures and I'm actually curious if it did well or bad. You should know by now, Volourn doesn't need facts. He just knows things and we should take his word on everything. I bet he even knows who really killed JFK but refuses to tell us. ooh I know that one too! Lee Harvey Oswald did it. Yep, with magic bullets.

Dog bites shark

Why would the US want jurisdiction? It's an Australian, a UK tabloid, and some UK victims. Possibly because Murdoch is an American citizen and the alleged 9/11 victim hackings but I doubt it would come to that.

Austria has been touched by his noodly appendage

I went swimming

Congrats!

More dramatic that way I guess. Messing around with my new phone at work, it's a bit bigger than my old phone and just a tad bigger than my girls iPhone but not nearly as big as a coworkers Galaxy S. It's pretty light though and still easily fits into the watch pocket of my jeans so it's all good. Had a good weekend of nerding out with the future Mrs whatever my last name is. We built a fort in the living room, made some popcorn and had a Star Wars marathon (just the original trilogy). Good times.

I'll be interested in checking it out when it's all done.
