Why My Life Sucks

Even if it is a BMW ad, it still pretty cool.

This is will be selling for 13,000 or so.

This is so going to be part of the back story of my d20 Modern game.

I watched a lot of curling this year. The Swedish women team took gold. They are also heavy metal fans it seems.

The EU Parliament isn’t like US Congress

Can you amaging the effect this would have if a it was done in the US congress?

You know that cool effect you get when you drive through a puddle just a little to deep. Water every where? Now imagine a train doing it.

Given my current med load it will be a while before I get to try this. Funny video however

Or you may find your self with a face full of air bag. Snort.

But very good at what he does.

All we need is some sharks to stap the friken laser to:

At 8:44 p.m. (PST), February 11, 2010, a short-range threat-representative ballistic missile was launched from an at-sea mobile launch platform. Within seconds, the ALTB used onboard sensors to detect the boosting missile and used a low-energy laser to track the target. The ALTB then fired a second low-energy laser to measure and compensate for atmospheric disturbance. Finally, the ALTB fired its megawatt-class High Energy Laser, heating the boosting ballistic missile to critical structural failure. The entire engagement occurred within two minutes of the target missile launch, while its rocket motors were still thrusting.

Less than one hour later, a second solid fuel short-range missile was launched from a ground location on San Nicolas Island, Calif. and the ALTB successfully engaged the boosting target with its High Energy Laser, met all its test criteria, and terminated lasing prior to destroying the second target. The ALTB destroyed a solid fuel missile, identical to the second target, in flight on February 3, 2010.

Other wise why all the Cat-5?

“‘Access to Guns,’ Not Jihad, to Blame for Ft. Hood, Says Noted Islamic Scholar,” by Charles C. Johnson (no, not the libelblogger) at Big Government, February 8:

Imam Zaid Shakir came to speak at my school, Claremont McKenna, on December 9th to respond to the “tragedy of Ft. Hood.” Rather than respond to the massacre of American servicemen, Shakir spent the evening indicting the United States – saying “we were born in genocide.” The reason for the Ft. Hood Massacre, according to Shakir? Not jihad or Islamic fundamentalism, but the “pervasiveness of violence in our society” and because of Americans’ “easy access to guns.”

“Spain: Restraining Order On Imam For Threats To Muslim Woman,” from ANSAmed, February 9 (thanks to Insubria):

“(ANSAmed) – MADRID, FEBRUARY 9 – A judge in the court of the province of Tarragona has banned a radical imam in the Catalonian town of Cunit from coming within a certain distance of a moderate Muslim woman who accused the man of repeatedly threatening her for her ‘Western’ behaviour, reports El Pais today. The same restraining order was issued by the judge against another three individuals who are associated with the imam, who are accused of taking part in the threats against the woman.”

Today, we are looking at Twinings “Classic English Breakfast Tea”.  I made an ISO-3 cup of tea

Slight floral notes, but with a nice tannin after taste.  Mild, but has a bit of a bite at the end.

8 out of 10

Availability: You should be able to find it in most middle grade to upscale food stores.

Voltaren twice a day 50 mg  (For joint pain.  Mainly my left arm, but both knees act up at times)
Cymbalta twice a day 30mg (So I’m not a danger to self or others)
Lorazepam up to twice a day 2mg (Anti panic attack)
Adderall twice a day 10mg (ADHD medication)
Temazepam bed time 30 mg (in theory 15mg or 30 but based on history, 30mg) (Sleep aid)
Lamictal bedtime 200mg (Mood stabilizer)

That works out to 11 pills a day,assuming I don’t have a migraine.  Having a migraine will add from 2 to 5 more pills.  I laugh at your silly commercials that compare pill counts taken  for OTC pain medications.

I give you the 12 gauge 6 shooter

My Sunday game was called, due to sickness and the Superbowl. I’ve been taking care of Mother for the last two days and have to take her to the doctor later today.

My tea kettle broke, which means I fell back on boiling water on the stove. It may be the in my mind but tea made with actual boiling water taste better than tea made by super-heating (i.e microwaved), and damn sure taste better than tea made with the “hot water” tap on a retail shop’s coffee machine.

We have also established this weekend who the Alpha critter in the house is. Keenii, the cat. Otto, the Alpha Dog gives space to her. Of course Ashley, the other cat, doesn’t really care and is friends with the dogs. She does what she wants to do regardless, so it could be argued that she is alpha.

This is my “What the hell are they thinking” for the week or so. It seems that in the land down under you can’t have small breasted porn stars any more. It’s for the children you see. If they allow A cup porn stars it will lead to pedophilia.

“Australian Classification Board (ACB) is now banning depictions of small-breasted women in adult publications and films. They banned mainstream pornography from showing women with A-cup breasts, apparently on the grounds that they encourage paedophilia, and in spite of the fact this is a normal breast size for many adult women. Presumably small breasted women taking photographs of themselves will now be guilty of creating simulated child pornography, to say nothing of the message this sends to women with modestly sized chests or those who favour them.”

France is starting to get it.

Back from the urgent care place. Mother has a broken ankle bone.  They gave her a script for pain meds and a metal boot.  Well, metal and velcro boot.

Mother tripped and fell. Twisted her ankle, so I’m taking care of her today.  There is a trip to the local urgent card place in my near future, plus fixing the local version of $WeSellUsedMacs’ web site.

Just the ice flowing off the car port. That’s going to hurt if falls on some one.
