JohnPowers does nothing yesterday at work
� Spends all day staring out the window.
I spent the day at work staring out my office window looking up at the roof of the building next door.
Just watching.
Watching as dark gray sugar smoke spun by the wind
cotton candy twirled below the less gray sky
sometimes wrapping around the stick of the wind
other times going directly from invisible hand to invisible mouth
Anyway, the steam goes
the steam goes
and goes
and went
all day.
Trial starts in Texas drowning case
� Jury selection begins; Yates faces death penalty
Bukowski faces DWI charges. Auden faces rhyming without a license charges. Ginsberg faces charges of dying too early in life.
U.S. bombs al-Qaida refuge
� Teen suspected in Green Beret death
Often boys in Afghanistan get 'drafted' at age 12. More crappy news by crappy news services running out of crap to say.
Teen pilot supported bin Laden
� Note recovered in crashed plane
You mean - this dumb ass teen (not that all teenagers are dumb!) was leaving notes in people's on-line diaries right up until he crashed his Cessna into a 43 story office tower in Florida?
That certainly has to be a feather in the cap of wireless networking.
Johnpowers no longer funny
� Man breaks funny bone in fall
"Yep, I have lost my funny."
"No funny for you, and you didn't lose it. I stole it."
"Shut up Osama."
� AOL to buy stake in AOL Europe
AOL once sold AOL Europe and now it is buying itself back to it can be itself - still. Err. Again.
� Clutch kick puts Jets into playoffs
You know what annoys me about football? Stadium names. Stadium names like The Fleet (bank) center. The Ericcson (phones) Stadium. Here in Providence we have an arena called The Dunkin Doughnuts center. What's next? The Huggies Diaper Center - a Mecca for football machismo and all around tough guys drinking beer? It's next, I'm telling you, it's next.
� CES: Set-top boxes all the buzz
These are the next generation Tivo's. Web TV, Tivo, MP3 juke box, multiple TV accessible - all in one tiny box. I can't wait until they're available so my girlfriend can tell me I can't have one.
� New iMac features flat-panel display
I like these new iMacs. They look like table mirrors - and with a small web cam, THEY CAN BE. Oh yes, we have come full circle.
� 'Rings,' 'Potter' pass milestones
So far harry Potter has earned 800 million at the box office world wide. Lord of the Rings has earned 550 million. It cost the LOTR people 270 million to make all 3 parts of the trilogy at once and that means, the whole project has already paid for itself and it pure profit from here on.
Fuckers.
� Study: Most colleges out of reach
Most colleges out of reach of poor people without loans is the finding of the actual study.
Can we all sneer - no shit in unison?
Please?
Thanks.
