Music: Mainframe

This shows up in one of the expansions for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. It's... I don't even know how to explain the context for this. It plays incessantly during one particular mission, and every time you think you've finished the mission it starts again. Fortunately, it's the sort of mission that involves a lot of shooting, because having this song playing on a loop will make almost anyone extremely stabby. And the worst part is... it's really catchy.

Day Off

It isn't really -- a day off, I mean. I'm at work. But I have nothing for this morning, my brain cells are engaged elsewhere (when two pirates are about to get married, do they send announcements that say "We arrr engaged!"?) and I have only finally gotten a decent amount of sleep as of last night. So, instead of actual content, let me offer everyone a virtual beer -- in honor of what I'd rather be doing right now.

If all practical considerations were removed, what would you like to be doing right now?

Busy Season

It's here. I'm doomed.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMED!!!!!!

Because I'm a parent...

Because I'm a parent...

...My backpack, in addition to my own things, now contains a pencil, a stick, and three shiny rocks.

...My head has been subjected to a game of Whack-A-Mole involving an enthusiastic eight-year-old with a Nerf zombie-slaying hammer and me sticking my head up out of the top of my t-shirt.

...I am not allowed to remove the giant pile of blankets in the bedroom doorway. It's either a mountain where a Jedi battle is taking place, "a bed", or both.

...I am now single-handedly responsible for the ongoing financial health of the Eggo Waffle company.

...I must immediately drop whatever I am doing if the five-year-old needs help with Lego Star Wars.

...50% of all parental dinner selections are automatically and completely wrong.

...I know far, far more about gaming videos on YouTube than I ever imagined possible.

Zombies Ate The Traffic

A conversation with Firstborn on the way to his school this morning...

Me: "Wow. The street is almost empty. Maybe the zombies really did eat everyone. I mean, that would be completely horrifying -- but it would help with the traffic."

Firstborn: "Fat zombies."

Me: "What?"

Firstborn: "Fat zombies."

Me: "Like they went into the houses and ate everyone and got really fat, and then couldn't get back out?"

Firstborn: (giggling) "Yes. Maybe it's the McDonalds Fat Zombies Mod. It takes the texture on their bellies and makes it thicker."

Me: "That'd do it."

We pull up to an intersection, where there are plenty of cars.

Me: "I guess the zombies didn't everyone. Oh, well."

Firstborn: "Or maybe they all came back to life."

Me: "Could be, could be."

Firstborn: (looking reproachfully at the sky) "Thanks, Jesus."

Real Work Conversations: Ex-Jedi

Co-worker: "What is that?"

Me: "It's Darth Vader's head. In a plastic bag."

Co-Worker: "Okay, then."

Presumably the rest of him is still in that cave on Dagobah.
