Humidity

Moisture in the air,
Heavy like a wet blanket,
Summer in Springfield.

Puchi-Puchi

My lovely sister purchased me the above electronic bubble wrap key chain for me as a fun little stocking stuffer type gift. You push the squishy bubbles on the front and it makes a little electronic popping sound, making it essentially never ending bubble-wrap-popping delight! That boy's excitement in the photo is not exaggerated. I had the key chain in my pocket while I grocery shopped yesterday and I am pretty sure I popped it the whole time I was in Wal-mart. It rocks, thanks Yell!

(By the way, puchi-puchi is what they call bubble wrap in Japan where this silly invention comes from.)

Unicycling

Yesterday I made my first real attempt to ride my unicycle. Joe and I walked over to the tennis courts at our apartment complex and I used the chain link fence around the courts to help me balance on one side, and Joe on the other. It went better than I expected, not once did I even come close to breaking anything, but after forty minutes of trying to balance, my legs had turned to noodles and I had to call it quits. Joe has Tuesday off work because of the holiday so he is going to help me try again, I am very excited.

Evening Sidetrack Conversation

I am posting this for Joe, as he is busy looking into the price of server seeds. He would like to pose a question to the group:

If you had to karaoke, what song would you chose?

When I answered that I would not karaoke, Joe said that refusing to participate would result in chopped off limbs...so stay anonymous at peril to you precious body parts.

Joe's Future Career

Last night, while walking Una, Joe was explaining to me how HTTP Proxy Servers work. Now, of course, I don't have the faintest idea why I asked, but from this conversation we have discovered Joe's calling.

As the discussion waned Joe stated wistfully, "If I ever live out in the country I think I'll make a server farm."

So many questions came to mind. How will he harvest his crop of servers? Will a heavy frost reduce his server farm's production? Will I be needed to help plow the server field? I literally fell to the ground laughing with all the silly server imagery floating about in my brain.

Joe's future is clear, he will be a fabulous server farmer.
