Alright, for starters. I'm officially declaring myself sick (as in, in bad health), which is okay because I'm going to the doctor's tomorrow.

Work just got longer again for me. I've gone from working 4-6 @ Ron's store to working 3-7:20 @ Bill's to Noon-3 @ Joe's plus 3-7:20 @ Bills. Well, at least it is $50 a day, even if it swallows most of my day.

On to the references to other blogs part of the blog. First, Kudos to me for giving Jeff the link, props to Infoc for giving it to me, and a hearty good job Jeff for getting further than me. That thing is interesting, but not so much hard as stupid and poorly designed.

On the note of Supercomm, apparently Nextell is putting out a walkie-talkie capable of working across the US. Now I want to know how that works because Satellites would likely be inconsistant and if it had that kind of horizontal range wouldn't you be able to invert the signal and make the most ultimate directional microphone. I mean, just set up the signal right and you'll be able to steal signals from say, the Pentagon from a range of, oh...Mexico perhaps? Other Supercomm note, anyone else find it odd that there were only Concourses B and C?

As for the LED ball, I think that three balls are of course better than two. All the more fun. Plus, it was more for the odd source than the actual gain that the story arose.

And finally, the topic of cultured Katie. A point by point answer to her arguements, cause we've got little else to do at this moment besides sleep so I'm not dead tired tomorrow, but that's not the plan.

Table Manners: Start from the outside and work inwards with utensils. Right hand gets the knife. Don't slurp, no elbows on the table. Wow, basically the same rules as you'd apply to surgery or an autopsy.
Dancing involves culture? Most "cultured" dance is the waltz which you can do in your sleep, D'Oraz and I proved that one lazy afternoon afterschool.
Violence and Cussing: Play a video game with someone cultured and beat them a few times. They'll show the other side of the coin.
Appreciating Art: Doesn't matter. Art is art and you either like it or you don't. Certainly you can evaluate what it is that makes it attractive, but that's a talent and not everyone is required to have it.
Contemporary Classical Music: Is a myth, 'nuff said.
Postmodernism: It ends in -ism and therefore isn't vital to existence.
Classic Literature: At least Katie finishes the books. Plus, Weis and Hickman write really really well.
Philosopy: Damn, I was listening to NPC extoll the virtues of teaching kids proverbs and how to apply them in life and I couldn't but think how Fscking stupid the idea was. They had this girl who'd been through the cirriculum and apparently when people act mean they all start reciting the golden rule.
Europe: Good thing you've never been. WARNING: ECON STATEMENTS COMING The EU is getting pissed at Bush for depriciating the US dollar and therefore making Europe's exports more costly to us. Plus, France is in bad footing. Plus most of what we've drawn from Europe in terms of "culure" can be learned in a book in five minutes or else it's been lost to us cause we found it pointless and pretentious.
History: And anyone wants to talk about history? Hello, the past is boring for the most part and even if you do believe that time is a cycle and we are repeating the past, then knowing the past is irrelevant because you know it by knowing the present.
Foreign Languages: Neither do most other people know them. Plus, Katie knows more French than she lets on. She'll deny that, but that's okay.
Writing: Cannot write essays? Thankyou cards? Handwriting? None of those are needed to hold a good converstation. Culture rarely involves writing, and when it does it'll be invitations which are really simple.
Current Events: Grab a paper, a yahoo look, or a friend. Current events aren't that big of an issue. See History above.
Polite Conversation: Usually helps to center it around the current and present. What is happening there at that moment is a good source of discussion usually.
Travel: I've been to the US and London (for a week when I was less than 2). Being Cultured differs in areas, but to be cultured in the US you don't need any travel.
Theater: You wouldn't want to go unless you dragged people with you, plain and simple. I'd have taken the Symphony had I been in ASYO though...but that's just me.
Clothing: And this only matters if you're in a cultured enviroment.

On a final note. Working at 4554 Corperate with Bill gets really boring because its a long time and no internet. Any suggestions on how I can spend my free time w/o looking off task?
