System Down Haiku

Broken work system
Pointless office time crawls by
Break room chatter time

All right, Huddle up!

Aaron and his Packers will take the NFC.

Yes, it's true.

Cubicle Haiku

When every server for your company crashes, it is impossible to complete any work. What to do? Cubicle Haiku:


Glowing red apple
Full of juice and seeds inside
Do not bite hard core


Beige walls rise around
Keep me lonely and unseen
But I still hear you


Beat box pump me up
Dancer spins on his head gear
Shiny red track suit

Camp North Star

I gotta say that, after recent deliberation, Meatballs is my favorite Bill Murray movie.

It’s not an easy choice. There are many variables: featured roles, preferred content, period pieces (late 70’s versus modernly stylish 2000’s), renowned directors getting the most out of the whole production - I could go on and on.

Well, I will go on just a bit more: movies with Bill Murray that weren’t meant to be Bill Murray Movies. Caddyshack. Rushmore. Where The Buffalo Roam. Kingpin.

However, I always return to Meatballs. It has a happy, easy-going goofiness to it that doesn’t get in your face. The gags and pranks were silly, not meant to totally scar the prankee emotionally. And the tender moments Bill Murray spent with the various counselors and campers were a preview of noticeable roles to come. It all worked out very well.

Runners-up (in no particular order): Stripes, The Life Aquatic, Rushmore, Where The Buffalo Roam, Ghostbusters, etc.

As my pal SK paraphrased it:

“Even if… even if we took a critical approach to this, even if every man, woman and child watched his movies and voted, even if God in heaven above came down to Blockbuster and rented a movie himself, it just wouldn’t matter, because all the Oscars would still go to George Clooney because he has all the looks. I tell you just doesn’t matter which movie is the best… It just doesn’t matter! It just doesn’t matter!?

Things on my mind.

The 2004 ALCS is one of the best sporting events of all time.

Mixing hot chocolate and espresso provides a great-tasting boost on those sloooow mornings.

Late Fall evenings in SoBo are wonderful. The crisp, cool air provides a glimmer and sharpness to the lights and shadows as people move about briskly to the shops, bars & restaurants. Ah, vibrant activity in the city.

Got an industrial-sized tub of real chocolate ice cream in the freezer. man, I'm gonna get fat in the next few days.

Song playing right now: Halloween Parade - Lou Reed (kind of fitting, huh?)
