Geese AplentyYou know how most web logs are a bunch of inane, self-serving drivel? This one is no different, but it uses more active verbs.You are totally being redirected.- May 23, 2005 over to: http:www.GeeseAplenty.comhttp://www.greghoward.net/weblog.php?id=P626 Revenge of the sloth.- May 19, 2005 Business analysts have estimated that Star Wars-related absenteeism will cost the U.S. economy $627 million in lost productivity, as 20 and 30something workers take the day off to stand in line and watch the movie. I'm pleased to say that I am not one of the people who contributed to that devastating economic number. I pretty much slack off all day at work anyway--so I'm pretty sure my company felt no productivity loss of any kind as a result of my absence.http://www.greghoward.net/weblog.php?id=P625 Intermission.- May 15, 2005 No posts for a while; I'm finishing migrating this site to Expression Engine. Be back in a week or so, maybe with a CD mix giveaway contest if I can get around to it.http://www.greghoward.net/weblog.php?id=P624 21 Grahams.- May 12, 2005 The last thing I advocate is people torturing their bodies and minds in order to turn themselves into lifeless, sexless Hollywood superpeople. Nonetheless, in seeing what Gilmore Girls star Lauren Graham looked like when she was in ninth grade: And...http://www.greghoward.net/weblog.php?id=P623 Stoned.- May 11, 2005 The Rolling Stones announced a new world tour and performed a mini-concert for fans gathered outside New York's Juilliard School. Certain songs have been updated given that Mick Jagger and crew are now in their sixties. The opening song, for example, was a rousing version of "Hey (Hey) You (You) Get Off of My Lawn."http://www.greghoward.net/weblog.php?id=P622 Unfit.- May 8, 2005 Something that used to be easy for me now takes a ridiculously long time: buying a new pair of jeans. That's because I like jeans. The blue things that hang down and cover my legs. But you can't buy those anymore, at least not the kind I grew up with. Now they're all "easy fit" and "low riders." Listen, there's nothing "easy fit" about jeans that are designed to barely hang off the edge of your hips, showing everyone your underwear....http://www.greghoward.net/weblog.php?id=P620 Fortune teller.- May 5, 2005 Lately I've been kind of bored at work. But you know what's fun When you eat Chinese food and a friend opens up a fortune cookie and says "You're bound for fame, fortune, and happiness" and then you say "In bed." And then you both laugh. It never fails. Because adding "in bed" to the end of every Chinese fortune cookie message is comedy you can take to the bank! I'm a believer in taking the fun stuff from various parts of life and incorporating them...http://www.greghoward.net/weblog.php?id=P619 Sir Mix-a-Lot.- May 3, 2005 My friend Rosemary and I are trading mixes. For her, because she's the thoughtful sort, the act of putting a mix together became the touchstone for a very self-reflective post on her site. For me, it was more "Wait, how do I do this again" I was amazed to realize I hadn't made a mix in months; I used to be able to burn them in my sleep. I had to remember the rules of...http://www.greghoward.net/weblog.php?id=P618 |
