100th post

My 2 month old power supply succumbed to IDS last weekend. The RMA finally arrived on Thursday and I am not happy to report I have to pay to ship the old one back. On the bright side, I have my computer back.

Kristina and I took the Rider's Edge course last weekend and we both now have our motorcycle licenses. I have had a bike sitting in my back yard for exactly a year and it is sad that it took me a whole year to find 5 consecutive free days in which I could take the class, especially since I managed to squeeze in 2 vacations during that time.
I am still not riding the bike because all the paper work seems to have been "misplaced". We are looking for a bike for Kristina, and I honestly am more excited about that since I hope to "borrow" it a lot to improve my skill. My bike is a little intimidating to me as a newbie.. 725 lbs is a lot of iron to throw around and that 1450 cc (88.48 cu in) engine is no joke either.

I saw Zombieland yesterday with Don. We both had head-aches leaving the theater. Apparently not a lot of oxygen gets to the brain when you are laughing for 80 minutes straight. The movie was damned funny and the dialogue was written perfectly for a comedy horror flick. Terrible one liners and awful puns coupled with a copious amount of blood made for a very entertaining experience.

A post about nothing

A few weeks ago I was officially accepted to grad school at ASU. It was a very nice 3 line acceptance email. I complained about it for almost a week before I realized how much I sounded like an old man. "Whats wrong with people today using the emails. Whats wrong with a good old fashioned letter on real paper?" Sure, its one thing sending a note to a friend but we are talking acceptance into a higherer level of education. I am excited about grad school, I guess I assumed my school would be excited too.
I was going to continue this post with a description of those damned kids and how they aren't getting off my lawn but I don't have a lawn and I'm not quite that old yet.

Our culture has peaked...

...Culinarily speaking.
What has caused me to draw this bold conclusion you ask? A rare and elusive sandwich to end all sandwiches has been spotted at KFC. THE DOUBLE DOWN!!
The double down is two fried chicken fillets wrapped around bacon, cheese and Colonel's sauce. I don't know what Colonel's sauce is but I am told "deliciousness" is the main ingredient.
I have yet to find this elusive and mythical beast, but make no mistake. When I do it will be a become a feast of epic proportions! (or more like me just eating an all meat "sandwich").

Found this on youtube, thought I should share.

I found an interesting video on youtube entitled "lost generation". I am on the cusp of Gen X and Gen Y which according to wikipedia makes me a Cold Gen Y, since I remember the end to the cold war. I have no idea if that makes me part of the lost generation (I don't think it does).
Regardless, this is a pretty great video.
