agh - where have I been?

I had a great weekend in Baltimore. I wish that I could rewind and replay Friday and Saturday. Sunday was good too but it was hard to make it through the day with half a brain and a severe lack of sleep. I've got pictures to post and things to say but (once again) it's time for bed... (Note to self - sort out the photos and set up Lightbox or some other suitable display thingy)

Burdick's is about a block away from my office. Waaay to close. I resisted the urge to ask for a shot of espresso in today's hot chocolate - the devil drink is already heavy enough in caffeine and theobromine. I've got to go get my haircut at 8 pm and I don't want to come down so hard that I can't make it out of the house.

If you are a programmer, do your self esteem a favor by checking out thedailywtf.com. Please excuse me if I'm the only person who didn't know about this site already.

It's funny that I should find this now because I was drafting a post about my weird obsessive programming habits. (declarations in the perfect spots, pleasing variable names, whitespace that looks just so...) Oh my god, the stuff at Daily WTF is too painful to look at but too funny to ignore.

Anne Marie posted some cool Halloween pics. Dammit. I'm going to miss Halloween this year because I'm home alone and I have no costume (Not to mention no parties to go to. I guess those would have been for this past weekend anyway, right? aagh. I suck.) I really love Halloween too. Next year I'll have to come up with a wicked cool costume.

bleh. I don't feel so great anyway. I think I'll just sit on my couch and watch a scary movie on TV.

Take note: 2 ha = maniacal, 3 ha = diabolical, 4 ha = you are starting to lose credibility. Remember, you are shooting for evil with a tinge of crackpot, not full-on crackpot.

(No, starting with "mu" instead of "mua" or ending with "h" is NOT correct. You won't strike fear into the heart of anyone with a dangling "h".)

I just spent over an hour scouring the Web for Argentinian punk rock. I have no idea why. Damn you Web. Damn you to hell.

I was born in September and it is my favorite month of the year. The temperature is perfect, the wind picks up, and the light in the early evening is just right.

I'm looking forward to the next 4 weeks.

Neat. I didn't realize that NASA is trying to send a spacecraft out to visit Pluto and friends in January.

Pending completion of environmental reviews and launch approvals, the spacecraft would launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., during a 35-day window that opens Jan. 11, 2006. The boost from the Atlas V and a STAR-48B kick motor would send the relatively light New Horizons on the fastest spacecraft trip ever to the outer solar system, reaching the moons orbit distance less than 9 hours after launch and zooming through the Jupiter system just 13 months later.

Jupiter's gravity assist would put the 1,000-pound craft on course for a five-month-long flyby reconnaissance of Pluto-Charon in summer 2015, when the double planet would be about 3.1 billion miles from Earth. As part of an extended mission, the spacecraft could also head farther into the Kuiper Belt to examine one or two of the ancient, icy mini-worlds in the vast region at least a billion miles beyond Neptunes orbit.
