Friday

reannon brings us news that Pat Morita, aka Mr. Miyagi, passed away. He was born just south of where I live in Isleton, CA, and actually worked in Sacramento for a time. He was also put in one of the Japanese internment camps during World War II. After having your financial stability destroyed by the United States government under the guise of National Security, it's no wonder he went into comedy.

Well, I must get dressed and head into work early. There will only be two of us there today. Whee.

I hope everyone's post Thanksgiving is going swimmingly!

Friday, after the coffee kicks in.

It's a lovely day today. It is foggy and rainy. I simply adore this weather. I would love it even more if I were curled up in my "warmies" and holding a mug o' my favorite grog.

Alas, 'tis not meant to be. I must "toil" at work. This is, by far, the slowest day at work I've had in months. So, here's to catching up on old tasks, while others are out enduring "Black Friday" and engaging in flagrant consumerism.

My thoughts wander around the world to those who are not having a good day and I am ever so grateful that even my worst days are simply never that bad.

After briefly pondering the suffering 'round the world, my thoughts then dart back to pondering good prices on an HDTV PVR and whether there are any good deals out there. And then I feel ashamed. But never so ashamed that I give up my penchant for being a consume whore and seek out living a more meaningful life. *sigh*

Good News for People Who Prefer Global Balminess

It looks like the Earth will not see an ice age for another ooooh 18,000 years.


The Weekend Australians presents the information in a different light.

Yes, Virginia, there is such a thing as Global Warming.

Music fun

I thought I'd share a fun song a propos for the holidays.

Broken Social Scene

I was trying to find the lyrics for this song, but heck! The title says it all, I suppose.
Enjoy!
