it's been ages. i feel like i need to dust off the screen to post. but that would be ridiculous. because everything i own is immune to dust and termites. but not mice.... if only it were mice.
since last time
if only i could tell you of all the magical exploits i've been on since i've last posted (in October). i will make a slight redaction/rather tragic addendum to my last post: seems cars really do blow up. less than a week after my post Interstate 5 Northbound was shutdown due to an exploding gas tanker. Yikes. Goes to show what I know.
October was a good month. Don't really remember much of what went on except that I didn't celebrate Halloween. I don't really like Halloween. I'm sure i'll deck the kids out in extremely cute Kangaroo costumes and go the whole nine yards when I'm a parent. And even though it makes Charlie Brown and everybody in the Great Pumpkin Patch cry every time I say this: I think it's the lamest holiday of them all.
...Sleepy Hallow? That's what we used to call my bruddah's head! Ha!
I've been working a lot on my CarTalk-style of joking lately. I love this show and I am almost brought to tears laughing every time I hear it. If you've never heard it before and especially if you know nothing about cars (like yours truly) you should tune in or you could subscribe to the podcast.
which reminds me...
My Prestigious Honor
I received the Dad Joke Award from a (closed door) caucus of my friends a few weeks ago. A truly cutting moment because in a neck and neck competition I beat out my roommate lazlo even though he is an ACTUAL DAD to NOT ONE but TWO kids. Seems my onslaught of constant hilarity is the most hammy and most cheezy... does anyone want an omlette!??!? har har har.
But fair is fair because I typically only remember jokes my father has passed on to me.
hassle-free blogging
i get hassled on a pretty consistent basis about how i never update my blog or post anything worth while. while this is true and factual, i'll be honest... it's hard to blog nowadays. i could list off a bunch of excuses, but instead i wrote a poem that was featured on the bbs:
in two-thousand-two i started a blog
just before the internet they did hog
the internet is now all myspace and digg
everyone blogs! from grandmas to kids!
now a blog is as cliche as a mustache
why must i endure all this backlash?
at work, i'm on the internet all the damn time
the last thing i want to do is code another line
i place my attentions where the computer is not
by the way, did i mention my girlfriend is hot?
i'd rather spend my evenings trucking around on my bike
than spending hours coming up with meaningless insight
maybe one day i'll post again soon
a blog-a-thon, or a funny cartoon
but for now there's too many backstories and time is not cheap
i must go now and speak with computers, "bleep bleep bleep".
so that's about it. i don't like looking at the computer any more than the 12 hours a day i tend to end up doing. and, more importantly, i have an excellent girlfriend whom i enjoy spending my time with. if time permits me, i'll post about "Thanksgiving With The Chief which involves a girl, her family, a puzzle and a whole host of zany antics that will make reader fall in love and laugh out loud!" -The Associated Press
"A timeless classic family holiday story that brings warmth into the lives of it's readers. Like Meet The Fockers except with a puzzle!" -New York Times
"Umm... I would describe it...poor, Dave. What a trooper." -My Girlfriend
"The thing I look forward to at any Thanksgiving gathering is the mashed potatoes" -David Rupert, Co-Editor of Wimpkiller Zine
misc. things, then i have to go eat a burrito
my life is coasting along at the moment. work with my company, paravel deisgn is going great. we're doing really well as a company and we're on the cusp of releasing some really cool sites. i'm genuinely excited about work. though sometimes my eyes want to fall out of my head at the end of the day, i like working and i don't hate my job (is this a first in the history of the world?).
my girlfriend is really cute.
while my girlfriend's band (!warning: music!) went away on tour this fall i took that time to go to Austin to go work. Sorry if I didn't get to see you. I was actually out in Marble Falls which though seems like it could be Austin, is far from it. I also spent some time at Girl's Night at my beloved Camp Allen. how I got is a long story and not worth posting here. but boy did we gossip and have plenty of mimosas!!
my house has a bit of a mouse infestation. we hired my girlfriends cat, Moogs (whom we re-named "Mouse Trap") and I had the privilege of seeing him catch a mouse in his mouth. it was rad and powerful - like Animal Planet in HD.
i'm planning on getting cable for the Jumbotron this coming year. i'll be a happy boy and probably stare at the computer less.
i bought Guitar Hero III for the wii. excellent. wii parties continue to be off the hook.
christmas will be in omaha this year. and no i don't plan on posting there.
thus ends the writing of my post. hunger has consumed my flesh and soon it will consume the whole world in a fiery famine! [Brought about by] Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!
And remember... Don't drive like my brudda. Don't drive like my brudda. And even though Master Wukash numchucks his own face every time he reads this, Howdy Mister is brought to you by Wimpkiller Dot Com.
