From outta nowhere, yet outta somewhere.\u00a0 I described it today as hearing a song you don&#8217;t quite know, and when the 3rd verse starts, having someone else say that first word, and suddenly you&#8217;re clicking into it too.\u00a0 Interesting.\u00a0 No pressure.\u00a0 Very little &#8220;Lord Christ Jesus&#8221; vibe.\u00a0 Very unlike my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geckotemple.com\/blog\/?p=87613695\">experiences in Chilliwack<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Lunch at WhiteSpot,with Pirate Packs for the kids, and theywere out of something for the sundaes, so they used <a href=\"http:\/\/www.groovycandies.com\/pc\/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=298\">Gummy Penguins<\/a> instead.\u00a0 Awesome.<\/li>\n<li>Saw &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/500_days_of_summer\">500 Days of Summer<\/a>&#8221; tonight.\u00a0 It was good.\u00a0 Quite good.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Zooey_Deschanel\">Sweet<\/a>.\u00a0 I felt like I&#8217;ve come a long way baby when I could see the point when the &#8220;boy&#8221; in this boys-meets-girl movie makes the mistake of asking her where they were going in the relationship, but does NOT say specifically why he wants to know.\u00a0 What it is exactly that he&#8217;s afraid of.\u00a0 20 years ago, I would have equated this guy with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/reviews\/23431\/pretty-in-pink-everythings-duckie-edition\/\">Ducky<\/a> and thought &#8220;girl&#8221; was being deeply unfair, and that he was doing everything right.\u00a0 Now, I see him pushing.\u00a0 Interesting.<\/li>\n<li>Totally unrelated, but why does the Media-Center thing that pushes data to my XBox360 have more problems and worse performance than the 3rd party Vuze\/Azureus, which is a torrent download\/search client?\u00a0 It&#8217;s open source, so you&#8217;d think Microsoft could figure out what Vuze does right, and do THAT.<\/li>\n<li>Tonight, we had home-made caramel corn for <strong><em>dinner<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 With grapes, to there was nutrition in there.\u00a0 Peanuts in the popcorn count too, right?<\/li>\n<li>1am, my Blackberry&#8217;s freaking out, &#8217;cause every system starts yammering about what kinda day it had.\u00a0 Bing bing bing bing (go to bed).<\/li>\n<li>Night all.<\/li>\n<li>Today&#8217;s pic is on the Movember (Mo&#8217;09) page.\u00a0 Go look, and donate a few bucks, if you have &#8217;em.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t think the stache is gonna get any better though, sadly.\u00a0 I think Emma&#8217;s comment wins, but mostly &#8217;cause I think it&#8217;s the ONLY comment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Up at 7:00am&#8230; well, to be honest, up at 7:07, 7:15, 7:23, and finally up and out of bed at 7:30 Finished reading a short story by Stephen King last night about a guy who has OCD because he&#8217;s guarding the world from destruction, and because I always read in bed right before falling asleep, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-87614672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geckotemple.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87614672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geckotemple.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geckotemple.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geckotemple.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geckotemple.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=87614672"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.geckotemple.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87614672\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":87614673,"href":"http:\/\/www.geckotemple.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87614672\/revisions\/87614673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geckotemple.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=87614672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geckotemple.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=87614672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geckotemple.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=87614672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
