1992casey was at my library today. He has now seen where the magic happens.

[1992casey]

I've actually seen the magic a handful of times, but this is the first time that I've seen the new magic since the building was remodeled.

Its not magic guys, its illusions.

I don't know why but when I read the last couple posts I have this picture in my head of a National Geographic documentary with the narrator saying "For the first time ever we captured the rare Hawing in her natural habitat. Watching her check out books and sort out past due notices one can get the feeling of how this rare animal interacts with her surroundings. We now have a better understanding of her role in the ecosystem" along with proper footage of the rare sighting and the usual mention of how her habitat is threatened.

 

P.S. Hawing I was going to say rare bird but thought I would leave it up to you to choose the animal you want to be.

[hawing]

Geez, you guys. I hope the narrator has an English accent. Australian would be acceptable.

I could get started on the threats to my natural habitat, but that probably belongs in the political scene.

I named my fantasy baseball team Taint McFadden and we currently sit #1 in the standings. This cannot possibly be a coincidence.

After a couple years of playing golf only very sparingly and being extremely bad at it; I went to the range this past weekend to try to find a good swing for me. I think I found it and made really solid contact on 80-90% of my swings and most went in the general directions I was hoping for. Before I was lucky to make good contact 20% of the time.

 

So this has got me itching to get out on the golf course to see if I can duplicate my swing. Looks like I won't be able to get out for at least a couple weeks. This sucks. I probably will have lost the swing by then and back to square 1.

Non-political political post:

 

JaDerHeyski both received mail yesterday. It was a voter registration document. It's a national group, but it just seems odd to get it now and not several weeks ago. Especially weird since I just registered at my new address on June 1st.

People who leave all their toiletries and such on the bathroom counter fall into two categories:

 

1. The meticulously clean, who are willing to move this stuff away and wipe everything down every few days.

 

2. Slobs.

 

I'd say that 90%-plus fall into the latter category.

I'm not sure I agree. Though my wife agrees with you.

 

I have been given a fine looking leather open top tote with instructions to keep my toiletries inside this tote, to bring the tote out when I'm using the stuff, and then return the tote back into hiding when I am finished.

 

To me, that seems like an unnecessary step, when I could just leave my stuff out on the counter, since I'm going to use it again the next day.

 

I see the bathroom as a utility space to serve my need to keep clean, where my wife sees the relationship differently, where instead, it is my role to keep the bathroom clean.

 

And so that's what I do. But only because the whole tote routine is less unpleasant than listening to complaints if I didn't use it.

I bet that Mrs. H5 cleans the bathroom. The tote routine is fair if she does the same thing. I was thinking more in terms of using medicine cabinets, drawers, or whatever.

 

I have the task of cleaning my dad's bathroom, and it's the "and such" stuff that's a pain. Recently, it took me at least two hours to clear the bathroom counter of everything under the sun, then wash, damp wipe, or dust the stuff as appropriate. That's a major hassle in order to get clean sinks and a counter. If the counter were clear or close to clear, the area could be cleaned in 10 minutes.

 

The worst part is that because it's his house, his bathroom, and his stuff, I don't know what to do with it.

She does and she does.

 

I would like to think that I'm not a slob, and in other parts of the house she's not so particular, but in our house the bathroom isn't clean enough until someone can perform surgery on any surface.

Whenever I hear the song, Wonderwall, by Oasis, I find myself thinking:

 

"Because Maybe

You're gonna be the one that saves me

and after all

your John VanderWal"

Cable companies must just hate people in general.

I wonder how the lebowski fest went tonight downtown...

[chadomac]

I was driving home tonight and stopped at the Qdoba right off North Ave. and Prospect. On my way out of the parking lot a large DEER ran through the alley in front of my car. For those of you that don't know the east side... this is an extremely urban area. I could not believe my eyes. I will be driving in fear of him when I go to pick up my girlfriend from Summerfest later tonight.

The county put one of those digital radar speed signs about a quarter mile from my house. The speed limit is 55. I passed it at 43, which is about right for that spot.

I bought a couple Faberge eggs. Worst omelet I ever had.

But was it the richest?

Good one Hawing. Very punny. I'll admit it was a gem of a breakfast.

You guys crack me up.
