The deranged mind of everyone’s favourite ne’er-do-well
The PSU position I applied for has postponed its selection committe to the end of this month.
I am in the pool of candidates.
I learned this through a letter from a representative at PSU (who is involved in the process).
It inlcuded his email address.
So, Of course, I emailed him expressing my continuing interest in the position. 😀
Let’s hope the other candidates get bored and wander off.
HEH
Hung with her sister and her sister’s friend’s family. Cool people even if they are “traditional.” I have very little experience with a “traditional” family and their gender role values, etc.
I can say that of all the children there, the coulple whose values I agreed with most had the nicest/well-behaved children there. The couple whom I disagreed with most (about family values, traditions) had the worst behaved children.
Annecdotal, but quite nice support if we ever decide to spawn.
As of today we are back on WW points system. I need to force some physical activity in here – I’ve not gained significant inches, but it is time to stop any growth in that area anyway. It is time for the next push – last time on the wagon I lost 65lbs. This time I only want to lose about 15-20.
Oh, saw Stumble-fuck’s acceptance speech for the Republican Nomination. That speech alone should make atheists out of anyone. That a person could stand and spew such lies, simplifications, deceptions, jingoism and false piety and not be struck down by lightining proves there is no god.
I don’t know how he did it with a straight face. Well, he did try to smile. Did anyone else notice that the only smile W can manage is a “I shit my pants 3 hours ago and no one has figured it out yet” kind of smile? The smug smirk of a dirty trickster con-man? Maybe it’s just me.
I really don’t know what I’ll do if this incompetant assclown and his three ring circus of criminals retain power. Cry, I suppose. I may have to eventually make good on immigration threats. If Canada is too tough, I could always hitch-hike down to Nicaragua and work on my brother-in-law’s farm…
If you haven’t been here or seen screens/trailers for the Unreal 3 engine, get yourself a tissue:

So I get a call from the police last night: They found our car.
I didn’t get the full info from the officers on the scene, but they pulled the guy over who was in it. He was wanted for plenty of bad, bad things (including identity theft and fraud). I’m glad at least that my property helped catch him (being in my stolen car and all).
Here’s the weird things he did to the car:
* Tore out the back of one of the seats
* Threw garbage everywhere
* Smoked like a chimney in it (I can’t believe how it reeks of tobacco)
* Destroyed the driver’s side sunvisor – I know how this happened, though – It comes loose and sometimes when you stop it swings down. Apparently, it did it one too many times for this fellow’s like and he showed it a thing or two.
So the car is back home. We’re not going to use it any more. Off to the junkyard or sell yard or something.
It’s been a while for an update and I’ve been quite hermitish as of late.
So here’s what went on since last update
Applied for PSU job; haven’t heard anything yet.
A friend of ours is moving to PDX and we hung out a bit this last Saturday. He should be here this next weekend.
This coming weekend we’ll be camping at Bellknap with
Damn I want that PSU Job. I’m going to call over there this afternoon to inquire about it. Hopefully they are just in red tape and didn’t forget to inform those they rejected.
Our Friend Rob came to visit us weekend before last and we had a huge ton of fun.
Computer Games:
* I’ve been loving Unreal Tournament 2004. Damn what freakin’ fun.
* Doom3 was a great tech demo of iD’s “new” engine. It really just seems like quake3 engine with advanced models, physics, light, and textures. Doesn’t seem like a “new” engine. Still pretty fun, but I really was underwhelmed.
* Playing Rise of Nations as well – Nice quick fun AoE on steroids type stuff.
* City of Heroes: Still loving it. Hopefully I can get some time with
