Sometimes I view something that radically alters my life path. This is one of those things. I will never make anything, ANYTHING as good as 'Birdemic'.

So I've been a little under the weather the last couple days. I was somewhat OK over the weekend, but I've had a cough, which has seemingly worsened. On the plus side, it give me time to catch up on a book tonight:

 

Do you guys remember that one? Such a disappointment. It was about that guy, who lived in a bedroom (right next to) the stairs, and how he had this really bad cough Monday morning? And his sweet, nice friend sent him home to suffer in private, and how he felt better, and went to work again on Tuesday? And how he then crashed about 8 PM that Tuesday night, and spent the rest of the night complaining and coughing loudly while his family members threatened to kill him if he got them sick?

It's a shame I didn't make it to the chapter where Austin gets a pie, or something, and then goes to Disneyland for the day. Fingers crossed.

P.S. In the epilogue, he marries Natalie Portman and has like a thousand babies.

Yesssssss.

Ugh, gross, I'm one of those people who posts a picture of their pet on the internet.

For some inexplicable reason, Lucy likes to sit with things on her head. Case in point, this whipped cream lid, which looks like a tiny party hat.

Tiny dogs with tiny hats! Oh how cute. Truly my blog has gone downhill.

Living with George, I knew Filipinos took their karaoke seriously, but come on now...

"Next, he belted out crowd-pleasers by Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck. But Mr. Gregorio, 63, a witness to countless fistfights and occasional stabbings erupting from disputes over karaoke singing, did not dare choose one beloved classic: Frank Sinatra’s version of “My Way.”

“I used to like ‘My Way,’ but after all the trouble, I stopped singing it,” he said. “You can get killed.”"

I think I'm probably a pretty cool guy to work with. Why? Because all my coworkers in the upper office get a hand-made Valentines Day card! Why? Uhhh...

But they're really nerdy! Let's look at the nerdiest of them!

 

(Click to make that bigger!)

This is awesome I think! Happy Valentines Day maybe!

See, I was right all along. Yellow IS the best color! Let's all scorch our retinas and look at a big patch of some!

So today, whilst engaging in an old-fashioned round of haiku-ing, Sarah drew an adorable cat. I stuck an eyepatch on it, and Cat Bowie was born.

 

Cat Bowie, who is awesome, might be my favorite thing of the week. I sort of want him on a sticker, and on my Trapper Keeper, and on a tee-shirt. Cat Bowie is that awesome.

From The Onion comes my new favorite article:

CAPE CANAVERAL, FL—NASA officials announced today the successful launch of the new shuttle Moonage Daydream, marking the beginning of a long-anticipated two-week conceptual mission inspired by British rock star David Bowie.


According to NASA administrator Maj. Gen. Charles F. Bolden, Jr., the highly experimental glam space program—dubbed Project Starman—has been in development for exactly five years. Though engineers initially feared the mission might "blow our minds," the historic launch ultimately proceeded without incident.

Is there any more racist and segregationist a concept than literacy tests to vote? Originally invented to keep the poor from having an opinion, the practice fell out of favor when pretty much everybody realized it was incredibly discriminatory. So what's this in my daily news?!

The former congressman from Colorado and 2008 Republican presidential candidate blasted Obama, saying "people who could not even spell the word 'vote', or say it in English, put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House. His name is Barack Hussein Obama."

And who is behind this? Oh, that's right, the Tea Party people. Good, hardworking Americans, who just don't want the poor or uneducated to be able to vote. I know, conservative America, let's continue to cut budgets for schools, and then let's complain about illiteracy.

I swear, if the whole thing wasn't so borderline racist, it'd be comical.

Oh, and, side note. If you're using the word 'socialist' or 'Communist' or 'Nazi' to describe Obama, you're proving that you are literally the dumbest person in existence. Read a book.

You know what's especially awkward? Chiding the United States President for using a teleprompter, and then getting caught with notes scribbled on your hand during a speech.

That's our Palin!

I'll admit, I had never heard of the 5 Second Film idea before, but I did enjoy Hipster Superman, so I thought I'd share.

Not enough to completely restore my faith in humanity, but it's definitely a shot in the arm. A playful, 2,000 person snowball fight between complete strangers, with no malice in it? This is a good thing.

This week, ugh. No updates because I've been down with a really nasty and heavy cold. One thing we can celebrate, however, is that it's Friday! This means it is almost time to rock! This is what I did this morning before getting to work.

|

Total side note this morning -- I get in to the office early, settle down, and Mario comes in. He brought me a slice of pastel tres leches! We had talked about our mutual love of the cake on Friday, and he had said he would bring me a slice, but I completely forgot about it. He is such an awesome guy that he even went to the bakery this morning rather than yesterday afternoon so he could get the fresh cake from today.

I proclaim Mario to be King of the Office!
