Which I don't seem to have much of right now.

Does anybody else think it odd that we adopt marketroid words and phrases such as "content" and "content solutions" to describe our little geek pages? Hmmm.

I think id should have been required to put a warning on the Quake 3 package:

WARNING: This game may cause extreme addictive behavior, loss of sleep, abnormally high adrenaline levels, and a strong urge to growl at the monitor. Use at your own risk!

Fighting Klask, I think I'm beginning to slightly improve my skills with the rail gun, which I had taken a strong dislike towards initially. It requires so much patience to use! My general favorite is probably the rocket launcher, followed closely by the plasma. The shotgun ain't too bad, if you're in close quarters with someone, like in a narrow hallway. But there's really nothing like hitting someone dead on with a rocket, and watching all their members splatter into little bits all over the floor. Ah, the satisfaction.

Ok, just so everyone knows I didn't spend my whole evening playing Q3, I'll state that I did drop some billso off at the mailbox, and then took Tobias on a little cruise westward, where he was given his much needed bath. We then took the scenic route home in the dark. If driving in daylight is fun, the only thing better is driving at night. Ok, I'll amend that. Driving is fun IF you're not stuck behind a line of slow-moving cars a million miles long. Unfortunately, most of my driving time lately seems to be in that less than desirable condition.

Ah, but the feel of the road in the dark, a little away from the city lights and traffic, just steppin on the gas. Quite enjoyable. (The only thing better: Driving a clear, curvy mountain road at double the speed limit on a Saturday afternoon.) Ok, maybe I am a little bit of a lead foot. Sssh! Don't tell anybody.

So, ahem, yes, Tobias is clean, happy, and resting now, which is what I really should be doing. I was thinking about posting something or other about moral dilemmas tonight, but... well, I emailed a few people, and got a couple responses, and this probably makes no sense to everybody else who doesn't know what I'm talking about, but anyway... I think some kind of treatment of the issue is going to be due here. Not sure exactly how yet, and I think it would be better to do so when it's not so late at night and I'm not so fscking tired. Maybe tomorrow, or maybe the next night. The wheels are turning in my head. No promises though.

Let the incoherent stream of babble continue! On second thought, maybe not.

...or maybe I've already given it enough treatment, and it's time to move on. Is the horse dead, or does it need another swat?

No, I'm not talking about Argo! I would never beat Argo. Argo is a beeeutiful little box. Although... I might have to install some whistle recognition software. Yes... whistle recognition software! That's the technology we need for the new millennium! Indeed, indeed.

G'night, everybody.
