So, today is the first day of my new physical fitness program. So far so good.
We got our family photos done this weekend. Next weekend my sister is moving back to England.
The last Fever game of the regular season was last night, and we signed up to get season tickets for next years games. We’re also going to look into getting tickets for the Indiana Speed, our Professional Women’s Football team.
Onion article: Everyone in family claims to be black sheep. I remember having a conversation just like this with my brothers a couple of years ago.
Totally unrelated to monkeys: Things I Will Do If I’m Ever A Vampire.
Not sure how I ended up on this site, but it sure is fun: Cheesygraphics.com.
Hey, I’m 78% dateable. Well, that’s a good thing.
As we all know, monkeys are cool(tm). Apparently, the UK thinks so too: they have a town that elected a monkey as mayor. That’s some monkey love for ya.

I just finished updating all of my photo galleries: both the regular gallery , and the house photos. I finished the thumbnail pages so you can see all the photos in a section at once, then click for the large photo. I was a bit behind (6 months) on doing that!
UPDATE: I later took these photos down because someone used them to locate my house and stalk me, sadly.
Here’s a hip new trend I won’t be participating in: The Sexchart. Basically a map of everyone you’ve had sex with, and everyone they’ve had sex with, and so on. Why won’t I? I have a pretty good idea of what mine would look like. And it’d get me in a lot of trouble.
Ended up taking Wednesday, part of Thursday and Friday off work, and I also laid around in bed all day Saturday, too with a stuffy head/runny nose/sore throat. Yikes. Thursday night was the single women’s dinner at Rock Bottom — met a bunch of nice women. And the Fever won again on Saturday night. Very cool. I bought a McCarty jersey.
According to Fox News: Store Customer Cards a Source for FBI?
So you have a secret craving for Little Debbie peanut butter bars and a penchant for Kendall-Jackson merlot?
While that customer loyalty card at the supermarket might perceivably save you a few pennies at the checkout counter, your buying habits could end up in the hands of government agents.
According to one privacy expert, at least one national grocery chain voluntarily handed over to the government records from its customer loyalty card database in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
And others say customer databases — including those culled from travel, financial and insurance industries — are routinely shared with the government for surveillance purposes.
“I think this is exactly what the FBI wants to do and there really isn’t any obstacle to them doing it anymore,” charged Lee Tien, a policy analyst with the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Fascinating comparison of circumstances from George Orwell’s book 1984 to today’s Bush administration and the “War on Terror.” Well, fascinating and also scary as hell.
