My wife chimes in to add that a minor variance in body type can lead to all kinds of trouble as far as those close-fitting clothes go. Menās clothing isnāt fitted the same way, so our variances do little to nothing and make it a lot easier to be us as far as clothes go.

Yeah. Iām almost ridiculously short-waisted, which would be a huge issue if I were a girl; as a guy, I can just leave my shirt un-tucked or something.
Just wear maternity clothes all the time.

Is ABC World News sarcasm, or just bad naming? It was just on the BBC, what I presume was a live feed. (At about 1.50am my time, so about 8.50pm New York time.) And despite being world news, the only things kind of world related were a transfer pricing story where American companies relocated profits to Bermuda (but they were talking about American tax avoidance) and a new show on Animal Planet (I suppose the elephants featured are African.) The other two pieces I caught were about Walgreens (?) selling over the counter DNA tests, and the Field of Dreamsā house and field being sold. Is this typical, or are ABC just misleading?
My wife and I are out running errands today, leaving the grocery store and about to head over to Target for a few incidentals. Sheās driving, and Iām idly drumming on the armrest of the passenger door with my fingertips. After about thirty seconds, she turns to me.
āWhy are you drumming the Super Mario Invincibility Starman music?ā
Marrying a gamer is the smartest decision Iāve ever made.
Thatās great, Matt. :)
My post count on Qt3 would have increased by six over the last 24 hours if I hadnāt hesitated on clicking the Post Quick Reply button. I do that a lot.

I had to mold my wife into a gamer. I tried lots of general-appeal games on her (Sims, etc) before finally foisting upon her Peggle.
Sheās a Popcap junkie now. She stayed up all night a while back playing Plants vs Zombies. Thatās when I pronounced my mission accomplished.
Most recently I got her Puzzle Quest for her birthdayā¦sheās playing it right now.
My wife is the exact same way. Iād also suggest Animal Crossing.

Phew. Shouted āLUNCH BREAKā to my co-workers just in time as my asshole, yet stupidly successful, ex walks in through the door.
Dodged that bullet.
This happens to me a lot. I type what I think is funny or important, read the last few replies and then end up undoing it.
NBC must be thanking their lucky stars that Brett Michaels didnāt die!

Thatās pretty typical of network news in the US. When you have half an hour to cover everything, the tendency is to go with a mix of human interest and national stuff rather then go heavy on the international news.
As for my random thought of the night, I need to stop thinking that any complicated food I buy frozen at the supermarket will even come close to living up to my expectations.

I understand that. Over here, thereās virtually no human interest and about once a week theyāll feature something cultural or museumy. Otherwise they make up for it with international news and sport. But this particular ABC show was called ABC World News. :?

I had frozen microwavable salmon the other night. It greatly exceeded my expectations. Where the portion got thin, it was a bit rubbery, but where it was thicker, it was actually really nice. I was very shocked.
Well, apparently to get a modem to work in a virtualized XP machine I need to buy an actual external modem. This is the second hit for āexternal modemā shopping results.
Remember these? $100 for a USR Sportster 33.6k. Argh, do computers still even have DB9 serial ports? ARGHHH.

It is 1:10AM local time, and the threads on Qt3 seem to be getting new posts a lot more frequently than Iāve ever seen.
I should either learn to stay up late more often, or take on a permanent job as a continuous shift worker.
