Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and go good with ketchup.

Thanks to MM in Houston for this one….. I laughed so hard it was the final straw for my coworkers to order my straitjacket probably. It’s a rap video done to “Baby’s Got Back” but it’s “Baby’s Got Book” and talks about a girl’s Bible. Totally clean fun…..hilarious though, geez!

Baby’s Got Book <-- click on the "Baby's Got Book" link when that page pops up.

Enjoy!

I must say, it was great seein ya Friday for dinner, Sticks! Yer not getting any shorter, dang! But yer looking great as always. Keep climbin. And as for J, M&M, you guys are the best….enjoy that gorgeous house and no more rolling down the hill!

I got to do the smackdown on some air hockey at Gameworks….that was fun :) And got said smackdown returned to me when it came to racing games. Bah. I’m a chick, nobody said I could drive. *snorts laughing*

Fuji still holds my sushi love, but Sushi Sake restaurant definitely is the runner up. And I actually got 9 hours of sleep. In a row. In one night. That’s gotta be some kinda record.

And I *do* mean Dallas. Spending this weekend hanging out in Texas with friends, somewhere out on Grapevine Lake. :)

I hear Grapevine Mills has an ice skating rink now! I’m definitely bringing skates so I can check that out. I love that mall because of the weird way it’s laid out. It’s basically a full mile if you go all the way around it in a loop. Then there’s the Rainforest Cafe — fun restaurant, great atmosphere. And the Virgin Records megastore (purr). And again, we must not leave out GAMEWORKS!

Other than that I’m thinking a little foray down into Deep Ellum, and *maybe* hitting Sushi Sake if time allows (and I can find it again). Sushi Sake‘s over by where I used to visit when I was working for ADS. I think I ate there every day of my business trip…YUM.

Started playing Champions of Norrath last night, but was so exhausted I only got to the part where I take the lift down to Feydark (in other words pretty much the first 20 minutes of the game). Very Diablo2-ish. Definitely decent hack/slash. Speaking of hack, going to work on dot hack Infection when I’m not hack/slashing in CoN. Now I’m seeing that I should’ve gotten a PS2 a LONG time ago instead of an XBox. Oh well.

Anyone in need of laughter, feel free to surf on over to Ebaum’s World. Hard to stifle giggles when you see some of the hilarious video this site serves up. For example, check out the Awful Weatherman. This has gotta be a college tryout for a news station or something because SURELY nobody would really hire this dude!

Guts tonight 7pm. Be there or be L7.

Here’s a pic of me when I went hiking at Redbud Nature Preserve. It was so incredibly beautiful there. We did some hill sprints and then just enjoyed the rocks, bluffs, and the nature trail. I highly recommend checking this place out. Don’t laugh at my pic too hard, I was about to crack up when this photo was taken.

Here’s one I took from Redbud. Behind me is a bluff and a bat cave (the bats were hibernating), and in front is the little lake, with the water runoff and mossy rocks making a nice little picture. This is from a Bass Pro Shop indoor/outdoor disposable camera so the quality isn’t exactly stellar. But you get the picture (ha ha).

Soon as I get a digicam I’ll add more pics. I’m kinda liking the idea of photojournaling along with regular blogging.

Picked this band’s album up on iTunes just now. Last week the free iTunes song was “Breakthrough” by Hope 7. WAY pop/rock-ish, but loved the sound so I previewed all the songs on their album and liked the sound enough that I went ahead and bought it. It’s downloading now… then off to iPod it goes :)

Busy week ahead, one of those weeks that seems like it’s Thursday when it’s only Tuesday. Something going on every single day and night this week, including lunch appointments every single day. Looking forward to heading south this weekend. GAMEWORKS here I come! Going to try and catch up to some old pals while I’m there too.

Next week is the Steven Curtis Chapman concert w00t! I’ve been enjoying going to Guts Church also. I think I’ll be going to the membership class that’s coming up next week.

I’d like to thank the other person with the same name as me that lives in Oklahoma City for screwing up my credit report. Pay your damn rent you freaking loser! This yahoo didn’t pay her rent, an apartment company takes HER to court, but it shows up on MY Equifax credit report. Thanks you stupid bitch! Do you realize how much work on top of what I already have going on I will have to do to clear your asanine idiocy from MY credit? Go work on your own credit, since it apparently SUCKS. Stay off mine! :P

My dog/pony went fab today. Sat a very inexperienced computer user at the console, had him go “do an evaluation”. Without ANY instructions or prodding from me he was able to completely fill out a full FAA discrepancy evaluation with my workflow system and get a final report and submit to the approval queue. No bugs, no errors. YES!

The guys had some great ideas for enhancements, many of which I’m cramming to get done today, and then finish off the others tomorrow and Wednesday.

Hey, what’s this? Shari’s actually updated her blog? Be still my beating heart! *laughs*

Sorry for the lack of updates… with everything that’s been happening, life and work got in the way of all that free internet time I used to spend blogging, surfing the web, playing GS4/LLD/Fable/EQ2/Sims2, you know.

I’ve been working on an automated evaluation engine for Lufthansa…basically it gives them the ability to inspect parts of the thrust reverser, mark all discrepancies, and send it off to be approved, all without having to use a single piece of paper. Full tracking, searching, history, approval workflow process. I am the bomb. ;-) Just kidding. It’s taken almost ALL of my free time, which has put a hindrance on some of the timeframes I’ve set for some other things. Oh well. Work hard, play hard(er). Pulled 70 some odd hours last week and I’m about to put in a few hours of code in now to make sure it’s ready for the dog/pony Monday morning.
