I had dreams, BIG dreams. A dream in where I could get into my car and feel refreshed by the sweet smell of the outdoors. No more would my car smell of cigarette smoke, ass, and remnants of summer fishing trips. I dreamt of a day where Wendy could sit in the passenger seat without immediately making an face like she'd just been smacked by a cloud of funk.

And this weekend I thought that the dream had come true. Yes! I discovered a miracle cure in the form of tiny blue air fresheners. These tiny blue sticks of gel-like goodness promised to be my saviors from the odorific hell that is my car.

And the promise on the packaging was right!! Almost immediately the smell of ass and smoke was gone. The only problem was that the former funk was now replaced with an equally (if not more horrible) stench. The problem with the "Outdoor Breeze" is that it has become overused. To my chagrin, this scent has be used repeatedly in bathrooms, So much so that instead of equating the smell with "fresh air," I equated it with "public restroom". So perhaps they need to repackage it to say "Clean Public Restroom Scent!"

while working on making an interactive dvd of our old photos,I ran into this old photo.This was the tree that was outside of the window where I used to work. We had always called it the penis-tree, but eventually the grounds keepers cut the appendage off.

I guess it became the eunuch tree.

I'm spending a bit of time trying to learn how to use iDVD on my Mac at work. It's realy cool software that lets you build interactive media that can be played on your television dvd player. I'm hoping to put all of our digital photos going clear back to 2003 on an interactive dvd and give a copy to our reletives. it's a lot of work, especially since I'm working in 10-15 minute increments. I should be finished sometime around 2009.

I just found out something pretty cool! According to the news, Dracula's Castle is up for sale. (Read the article here.) Well, I guess it's not really Dracula, but the person that the vampire character was based from, Vlad the Impaler. Apparently the castle is on auction for 78 million.

As you can see, it's not the creepy, musty old place that you'd expect, but a beautifu, clean palace.

Another strange thing about this sale is that it is currently owned by the Habsburg family. This is the family that supposedly can trace their lineage back to biblical times and claims to be the descendants of Jesus and Mary Magdalene.

So, the other day I got this cryptic message from a Mr. Timmaaaay:

“Expect something soon. But only when you're least expecting it...”

Then I got THIS package in the mail today!!!! Check out the pic!!

Included with the package was a single black "stress-ball." A stress-ball that looks remarkably similar to the one that we used to play catch with in the office. A stress-ball that Timmaaay had promised to leave for Sioux and I when he left back in February of 2006.

So I guess I have to apologize for being such a jerk to Timmaay back in this post.

In response to getting the package, the following email banter between Timmaay, Me and Sioux occurred.

Me: Uh........ Yeah, I take that whole “you lied to me” thingy back. You're true to your word Timmaaay!

So when did you find it? Thanks for making me laugh out loud. I emailed a pic of it to Sioux too. I'll definitely be playing with it from now on. (Get your mind outta’ the gutter!!!)

Timmaay: But of course!!! (read with French accent)

I still say I left one there...cause I used to have two. What a sacrifice eh? They're really fun though, all jibbly and mushy. I hope you enjoy it. And I hope that not everybody gets blackballed in the eye or something. So yeah...have fun.

Oh and by the way, if you read into this email and think that its any combination of sick or twisted then one of two things are necessarily true (and probably both).

1. You're a big perv!
2. It all goes back to Skal-jo. I swear!

By the way...I was thinking about something I haven't heard in a while and kinda miss. That is: "God Tim!!! I can't believe you said that!!! What a dick!!!"

Have a lovely Friday afternoon.

Sioux: I knew that little S.O.B. was a liar!

I took this awesome picture of the Brat over the holidays. I never claimed to be a photographer, but once in a great while I take a photo that I genuinely like, and this shot is one of them. I think it captures her spirit and personality very well.

Recently, Wendy found this in a newspaper insert for a local grocery store. There's just something disconcerting about a sale on meat that has been "previously frozen!" What's next? A pound of chicken liver that was "previously unrotten?"
