Only got a little over a mile in the pool because of storms. And given the weather outlook and how I need to go get MK, probably won't go back tonight. And it was looking to be another banner pace. Oh well, I'll probably do something insane like 2 miles tomorrow.

My cats, well, specifically Loki, are being assholes to one another. Which means there are clouds of fur drifting about.

I'm only 2 days into my coworker's 2 week vacation ( I'm his backup) and I'm already resentful. For one, that he gets 5 weeks a year. For another, through no fault of his own, he's managed to be on vacation whenever we have a serious ton of shit going on. This has become a bit of a running joke because it's been happening for over 2 years now. And it is either joke or have a screaming meltdown.

Timelies all!

Hmmm, I don't think I ever had a Trapper Keeper. I was aware of them, but never owned one.

Real name rejected by Google+. I understand he's irritated, but seriously? You know shit's going to be difficult when you choose that name.

Ha ha ha! That's hilarious. I have wondered about Jennifer 8 Lee from the NY Times....

I find it hard to work up much sympathy for a guy who picked a name that would make mailing lists explode.

I wonder how often he gets called Threeric.

I'm sitting in the airport waiting for my 6:30 flight to get here, and just got a text message about the delay. I mean, I guess that's nice, but I'm already here!

If he's really young, he could be young enough that his PARENTS named him 3ric.

I wonder how my college's roommate's old friend Sun King Davis is doing on Google+.

The price of used cars with good fuel economy has gone up a lot since the beginning of the year due to rising fuel prices.

Man, the Toyota dealership sends me e-mails every other month or so, practically offering me hookers and blow if I'm willing to sell back my Echo to them. Mind you, it's 11 years old and has over 130,000 miles on it. But they still want it (very likely because it still averages 32-33 mpg).

I went to college with an attention-whore eccentric young woman who legally changed her first name to have an exclamation point at the end. And she made people say her name that way, with an uplift at the end. I did not like her.

Heh. How do you feel about David Malki !?

I spell my name with an exclamation point, like so: David Malki !

It’s considered an honorific, and used in the same manner as “Jr.” or “PhD”: there’s a single space before it. The exclamation point is not pronounced — though many have tried, often with hilarious results.

Sounds like Sandi! from that SJP movie.

The Toyota dealer tried to get us to sell back our 2010 Matrix to them, and presumably buy something like an SUV. Nuh uh. I also, oddly, got a marketing email from the local Volvo dealership at my work email. Like I can afford a Volvo on my salary!
