First Snow

Well we've been threatening the kids with concept of it actually snowing here -and now it has.

Snow

The animals are a little confused.

JFK Reloaded

The higher the total, the closer you are to Lee Harvey Oswald’s actions – and thereby the more clearly you prove that Lee Harvey Oswald had the means and the opportunity to commit the crime.

JFK reloaded.

I'm not sure what to think or feel about this video game? Is it just plain tasteless? Or 21st century ballistics? Is it marketing to a generation I'm just really out of touch with?

Mac Mall

I got a seasonal job offer from the Mission Viejo Mac store today. Not as a Mac Genius but as a Sales Associate. Kind of funny if you know me. I'm reasonably sure nobody would buy a computer from me.

Customer: Does the Internet come with this computer?

Shawn: I don't know? Why don't buy it, go home, and quit askin' me stupid ass questions. Then we'll both be on a journey of self-discovery.

Customer: I want to speak to your manager!

Shawn: Yeah, look I'm going out for a smoke, let me know if you need anything else.

Yeah, I'm definitely turning that job down.

That's a wrap

So after three months of grueling stage work we went up on Thursday night and performed The Adding Machine by Elmer Rice through the weekend. Of course the joy of live theater is the everything that can go wrong, -will. We had a couple of snafus but it came off without a hitch. Even looks like the play will go on to St. Louis for the nationals.

The cast party was ridiculously fun and lasted until 5:00 in the morning. Actors do know how to party.

Thanks to everybody that came and for all the support from those who didn't.

Fall in Minnesota

I'm having one of those moments where I think about things. I'm thinking that while I know it's going to get stinking cold here in Minnesota soon, I'm really enjoying the autumn. There really isn’t a major change of seasons in the places I lived out west.

It’s also been a lingering fall. Last night was just cool breezes and fires burning in the little houses all around us. It reminded of being a kid and not feeling so jaded.

W's America

I'm just so disturbed.

I really thought people were smarter than this?

Shows me what I get fer thinkin'!

So, I guess I 'll just start praying to a vengeful father God, disavowing all my non-marriable gay friends, and hating Muslims/Jews/Albinos? (Are albinos some of the ones we hate? I've really got get up on my Evangelical religious racism.)

Fuck it, I'll just buy an SUV, support my troops in whatever war we end up in next -and if I do have any smart ass thoughts I'll keep 'em to my smart ass self.

Now that the Lord has spoken and given us our very own Christian King/President (whew! finally) -I don't have to think any more. I'll just let the ChurchGov do it for me.

Oh Christ -look at the time! It’s almost noon GovWorship time! Gotta go, I don't want to burn in hell after all.
