complicated 15th-century samurai move
Roth tour cut short Singer David Lee Roth has canceled the rest of his tour because of a martial arts accident during a recent performance. "It was an incident onstage where he was doing a kung fu maneuver and he got hit with a staff that he uses," spokesman Todd Brodginski said. "He was doing a very fast, complicated 15th-century samurai move." The former Van Halen frontman needed 21 stitches on his face because of the Sept. 17 accident in Philadelphia. He called off seven dates in the tour of clubs and theaters because of the injury. Two dates had been canceled because of Hurricane Isabel. |

Last Night's Dream
I had a crazy dream last night. First, I was given this random information in a form like I was watching a TV show. It was doing analysis that determined people throw rolls of toilet paper during Vikings games, but not Twins games. Then we were immediately at a Twins game, sitting in the lower deck in left field foul territory. I know for sure Pete was there, but I don't know who else was in our group. But we did have a group there. We were throwing toilet paper all over the place to try to change the stat I had seen on TV. Then it showed some crazy play from the game. Some Twins player was safe at home despite the ball being way ahead of the player. The Twins player tactic? He had on his field glove and shielded his body from the tag with that. He hit his glove against the catcher's glove. I was amazed. "I didn't know you could do that. Why don't more runners on base wear their field gloves?" |

Random Memory
Miller Park, Milwaukee, WI April 2002 Pete, Mike and I see a guy wearing a Slayer shirt at the bar. We converge and Pete yells 'Dead Skin Mask'. We told the guy the story in Madison of the dueling stereos playing Verve Pipe and Slayer (maybe the only time in the history of life these two bands shared any spotlight). He didn't seem to care. |

Wrestling Jesse Ventura
Last night I had a weird dream that I was hanging out with all 3 candidates for MN governor: Jesse Ventura and the Democrat and Republican candidates. It was weird. Ventura kept asking me to get him things, and I kept wondering what the hell I was doing. Then we went to a ski hill with no snow and we went skiing down the hill. Then Ventura started wrestling with me. This consisted of him throwing me up into the air and watching me land. At the end, I tripped him and he fell into a lake. That was about it. What does this dream mean? |

Office Space
Sometimes I feel like I am working in the movie Office Space. Yesterday my manager came to my cube and expressed concern that I won't meet my billable hours goal for this fiscal period. Obviously I won't, but I really don't care at all. First of all, it wasn't MY goal in the first place. It's the company's desire (and mostly understandably so) that they can bill the vast majority of my time to our clients. They get about $200/hour for my work. That still completely boggles me. What if I got paid $200/hour? I just don't care so I'm not going to be in here busting my hump to get to 'my' goal. It affects my bonus, but it's not like bonus is that big anyways. Office Space: It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care. |

Family Ties
I generally consider Family Ties to be my favorite TV show. Not sure if it still is, it's just been my default favorite. A no-brainer. Remember that episode when Alex was despondent because he was supposed to help his friend move, but canceled at the last minute? His friend dies ina car crash and Alex goes into a period of intense self-reflection and cries a lot. "Why am I alive?!" |

My Job
Here is a great example of why my job can be frustrating: My question to a Coca-Cola rep in Texas: Issue: What type of medical leave was she on from 1/21/1997 to 3/17/1997? Her response: This was a medical leave. |

My Picture
I love my picture. I wish I had the original hard copy of the picture. I think Brent has it. It is from Halloween 1998 (party at Mound Street). I graduated 2 months later. If only the picture revealed the little stuffed papoose taped to my pack. I bought it at some goodwill store the day of the party. The plight of unwanted dolls usually involves college Halloween costumes. |

Please cut my bagel
We used to have birthday celebrations here at work for people's birthdays. Nothing formal, just people buying food and putting it on the table and singing happy birthday and all that. 15 minutes of food and birthday revelry. Well that is all over now because one (maybe two) people have complained about the following things (among others): the bagels weren't sliced when the treat for someone's birthday was bagels in the morning why did we have bagels for X when she got back from maternity leave but not Y? why do we only invite the calc team for our treat things why didn't we invite the rest of the floor for the potluck she didn't have time to participate in the Valentine's Day candy search or the St. Patrick's Day pot o' gold search I pride myself on not getting involved in office politics, but when you take away birthday sweets, I start to get angry. I have been making comments to myself about eating uncut bagels, but maybe I should act more mature. Whatever. |
