I have no Chat, and I must scream

Trillian is being a bitch this morning. Keeps giving my the illegal operation message on startup. So if you are looking for me this AM, ferggetit.

Go see this.

What if Microsoft had created the Matrix?

Wow.

Last night, Rafael Furcal, shortstop for the Atlanta Braves, pulled off a trick that had only been done 11 times before in Major League history: the unassisted triple play.

With runners on first and second, Furcal made a leaping grab of Woody Williams' line drive. Out #1. He then stepped on second base to get out #2 since the runner on second hadn't managed to get back to the base. Furcal then tagged the runner from first for the third out. Watching the highlight, I don't think Furcal really understood what he did until somebody pointed it out.

In other news

San Francisco Giants: 5
Philadelphia Phillies: 2

The Giants used their 13th starting pitcher of the season, rookie Kevin Correia. He went six innings (three longer than he's ever pitched at any level) and gave up 7 hits, 4 walks, and one run. Pretty impressive.

Time to find the good clothes.

I have an interview Thursday for a job I had forgotten I had applied for. From what the guy told me, it is sort of like a receptionist/guard/doorman position. They want someone on their desk from 1600 to 2400 to make sure people sign in and out, answer the phone, etc.

The problem is that bloody VTA stops running when the sun goes down, it seems. So I'll have to save up for a bike or scooter to get home.

When in doubt, cast Runes

I asked the Runes about my job prospects

It makes a founding father proud

The Holy Empire of Our Lady of Discordia is now in a state of anarchy. Biker gangs rule the streets, and social order has completely broken down. But they still pay taxes.

*sniff* I'm so proud of them...

See what my other nations are up to these days:

Just so I can play the intro to Hells Bells. On stage. Once.

This has been my paean to AC/DC for the day.

Interesting fact.. the song was written as a hurricane was hitting the island the band was working on.. hence the first verse:

I'm rolling thunder, pouring rain
I'm comin' on like a hurricane
My lightning's flashing across the sky
You're only young but you're gonna die
