Some change in the weather since last post. God almighty, what a snow storm. What a rain storm after it. What a snow storm to follow the rain storm. Seems there are no seasons anymore.

Even with only one third of the staff at work today we were slow, slow, slow. Must be due to the holiday in the U.S. , though in my experience that usually drives call volume. Oh well, more time to look at the screen and say, "damn I wish I could get access to the web."

Was so blitzed Saturday night, they painted me up with mascara and other pretty things. Man, I was cute. Got it all off for work the next day but about half-way through the day the hangover started kicking in and man I thought my head was gonna explode. They say live and learn but for some reason I never seem to get it. Twelve beer in two hours makes Skinny a funny guy.

Happy Martin Luther King Day! See ya in Selma.

Can you believe the weather? Horray for global warming!!
Jan.14th and +11C outside. Awsome! I ate lunch outside on Xmas eve in the 10 degree weather and now the snow is meltin and the warm winds of a messed up global environment are blowing on through. Two years ago I had frost-bite at this time of the year in the -50C with the windchill, this is just an incredibly unexpected turn of events. If the sun had come out today it probably would have hit 20C. Beach weather!!

Work is busier than it has ever been, where do Americans get that kinda money after Xmas, $1800 worth the clothes? Maybe send some to the Tsunami relief fund and go without that sequined chiffon blouse for another coupla weeks darlin.

What did microsoft do to IE this time? Friggin thing freezes cold like the girlfriends heart when I try to go to hotmail. Seems they want MSN Messenger open at the time and I don't want that to happen. Moved on to firefox because of it. Much easier to deal with, over 17 million downloads since nov. 9th, takes some tweakin and some add-on installation but than it works like a charm. Check it out here -

Anyway got to go be skinny for a while before the girlfriend gets off work and I'm back on the clock!
Viva la Global Warming!!

Breathe skinnyman, breathe.
She says she wants to discuss the movie, mainly it's flaws I think to myself and I am right as rain.
I enjoyed it, says I. Why tear down this evenings outing in some pale attempt at one upping a Hollywood director? Which I didn't say.
Why can't we look for holes in the plot and character and logic misappropriations, says she.
Cause you just want someone to agree with what you are thinking is all, and apparently thats what her sister is for.
We haven't argued about a movie in so long says she, why not tonight.
Hmmmm, because the last time we discussed a cinematic encounter, starting said conversation before stepping off the curb into the parking lot of the theatre, we ended up in a shouting match 45 minutes later cumulating in my storming out of your house and going home without watching CSi, I think.
Cause I just want to enjoy the movie going experience and watch some T.V tonight, I say.
Not good enough though.
Every comment I make during the evenings television viewing - even as minor as "look at that painting on the wall behind her"- results in epitaths such as "don't rip it apart" and "why over- analys it?"
So I didn't get to relax and watch CSi after all. But I did finally get to watch it. She swears she won't go to the theatre with me any more. And thats just fine. There's a new Matthew Maconnegh (spelling??) movie coming out soon and she can wait for the friggen DVD.

Why are there so many choices of tooth brush out there? Ok, different colors and sizes sure, but can't the ADA just choose a design that is actually THE best? The only toothbrush the human race will ever need? Why must my girlfriend be forced to spend 45 minutes in the toothbrush aisle at Walmart to chose between so many of nearly the same product? Figure out which bristle array and head shape combination is the best and be done with it. Please!
