Blahg (Random Thoughts)

I've been wracking my brain to try to come up with something to write about these days, but the ideas aren't coming. I came across this bit of design fun at the Nonist. I suppose that after six months, my lowly blog is going through some growing pains of its own. There is also a very funny bit here (be sure to click on "Read more...").

In an attempt to find a solution to the bird-poop problem in the alley by my apartment, I did a few google searches for pigeon spikes. I came across this horrendous photoshopping. I defy you to look at the before and after pictures and tell me that they were done by someone over the age of 8.

I had resisted the slovenly life and awoken before 9 for 95% of the summer, but have fallen into the trap of ye olde sleep-until-noon.

I was somewhat disappointed by Ocean's Twelve whose plot twists seemed pedantic and by the end I was left with the realization that much of the film was pointless. It's nice to watch actors having fun, but with the heavy-handed Julia Roberts self-reference and the Bruce Willis cameo, I was overwhelmingly left with the impression that the joke was at the audience's expense.

I've been waiting to hear about my job interview all week, and I cracked under the pressure and emailed them to follow up. I hate the follow up call simply because I hate to be a nuissance; no one wants to hire a nuissance. They eased my fears and assured me that it was just a matter of time. Fine with me, but when someone tells me early in the week, I naturally expect to hear something before Friday! Patience, my son.

So I'm hoping that I can find something more interesting to write about, but until then I suppose these unconnected thoughts and links will have to do.
