This right there didn't tip anybody off that the whole thing was BS?

It bugs me that the media jumped over the whole thing when there was nothing to get excited over. You have a couple of guys with a picture of something in a cooler. There was never anything there to get excited over.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Actually, it was something furry in a cooler. So obviously it was probably bigfoot.

Hah, totally.

ION, that whole text message thing was a brilliant move on Obama's part. It's all the newscasters can talk about.

That is my parents neighborhood, I could pick up 2-3 unsecured networks from their house with just a built-in antenna. My neighborhood is more paranoid, all the networks are secured. Mine is secured and MAC filtered so I fit right in.

In my old neighborhood I lived in a big apartment complex, many of whom were college students, so I had my pick of 'linksys' and 'Belkin56.' My favorite one, which was secured, was named 'pimpsdomain.' Rock!

I'm a sucker who is totally excited about it! I've been making sure my phone is near my bed in case the text message is sent early in teh morning. Ha! I'm sure I won't care that much as soon as it's announced though. Unless it's Biden (Small state pride! He went to the same church as my grandparents and there are other family connections).

What are people doing this weekend?

Tonight Tropic Thunder and trying to clean some. Tomorrow brows did, clean some, and picking up boyfriend from the airport. Then he's meeting my parents and various other family members at my freaking 40th birthday party tomorrow night. Sunday is recovery and massages! Monday night he's taking me to what is one of the fanciest and best restaurants in B'more for birthday dinner. Nice! Unless...he's totallly scared away meeting my family!

If I were really good friends with my neighbors I sometimes think a couple more tuners in my DVR and a strong wireless transmitter and we could all use one cable connection.
