The word of the month for July is Skunkupine!
Cheese, I log into Blogger today, and suddenly I have all these text formatting options that weren't there before.
I managed to get over to Pure Fitness after work today for a short but much-needed set of pulldowns to counteract this keyboard slouch I've been noticing lately. I really need to find a way to fit in at least one workout a week - doing the elliptical trainer at home isn't enough. The problem is, I work a 9-hour day (longer, if I take time off for lunch), but have to wait 3 hours after dinner before I can go to bed. Add an hour's workout, plus travel time, and I'm pushing 11:00 to midnight, a recipie for fatigue mid-week. Going home for dinner firest, then driving back to the gym would be a waste of time and gas. The third alternative is if I eat dinner between work and the gym, at someplace in the area like Veggie Fun. That could work.
Local elections are coming up soon, and the campaign posters are propagating like flies in the empty lots and on the security fences of abandoned gas stations. In Scottsdale today someone had written LOTUS-EATER on one poster - that's ten style points above drawing a mustache on the candidate's photo! Over here in Mesa, surprisingly few candidates are running on the fecundity platform this race; only one, in fact - that's Congressman Flake, posing with his large, identically-dressed family. Previous races here in Mormontown have been rife with absurdities like the would-be treasurer who listed "16 grandchildren" among her qualifications. I don't know how that's relevant to the treasurer job one way or another, but it would certainly be a non-asset for any Family Planning position!
This from the New Zealand Herald: Microsoft, Disney, and some other big players have caved in to common sense and begun work on new technologies that will allow customers to make personal Fair Use copies of copyrighted works, such as downloading to an IPOD, while still protecting the owner's copyright. This will bring copyright protection technologies in line with the legal definition.
