Song of the Day:
Listen, baby
Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no valley low
Ain't no river wide enough, baby
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry
'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
This Day in History:
In 1933, Nazi Germany began boycotting Jewish-owned businesses in an effort to harass and persecute the Jewish population. I think we all know how this turned out.
In 1970, President Nixon signed a measure preventing cigarette companies from advertising on radio and television, effective Jan 1, 1971. And yet, they still allow commercials for Massengil, vague new drugs, and terrible Domino's ads. Sigh....
In 1984, Marvin Gaye (singer of "Ain't no mountain high enough" seen above) was shot to death by his father in L.A. His father pleaded guilty, and got probation.
In 2003, Pvc. Jessica Lynch was rescued from a hospital after she had been held prisoner for a span of about a week. Also, The daily UPdate publishes and is distributed, crashing a major companies e-mail service, since the smartass who wrote it tried to publish everything backwards, and made the danged file too big. This would later lead to the publishing of the Daily UPdate on the web, until it was later cancelled from publication. And then was re-born in this forum you are reading now. Ah, memories.

Word of the Day:
puckish \PUHK-ish\, adjective:
Whimsical; mischievous; impish.
Week of Bachelerhood, Days 5-whatever today is
The past few days have passed without incedent. Huzzah! It has also passed without nary a baset of laundry done or the dishes for that matter. Floor? Still the same as it was last Friday. Amount I have accomplished in the past week: 0.
I haven't gone anywhere or done anything. But then, I've always been a homebody. I'm sure that if my entire day was spent within those walls ad infinitum, I'd go nuts. But since I have the job that I do, there isn't anything I look forward tomore than entering back into the secure walls of my home. There are times when I'll be out and about, and in an instant, some internal switch will click on and some unknown driving force will tell me that I need to go home and go home NOW.
So it has been with grand pleasure that I've stayed home, hermit-ed myself from the rest of society. And with as badly as yesterday went, it's best I stayed away from the public eye, since I was in a foul foul mood.
Working on a special projet at work, and in the process of a 2.5 hour long meeting, we were teetering on the edge of starting over completely, since management hadn't bothered to figure out what or how or why they wanted what they wanted. Forget it Stimpy, go ahead and hit the giant history-eraser button.
I could have used a beer last night, but lonely, depressed, and drunk is never a good combination. So I made myself some comfort food in Macaroni and cheese. The only downfall was that while waiting for the noodles to cook, I had unconciously eaten a quarter of the cheese powder. (Don't ask.) The only solution was to open yet another box of Kraft, and overcompensate with a full bag of powdered cheese-like substance. Well, you can bet how well that worked out.
It just goes to show that I've completely fallen apart, to the point where I can't even make Mac and cheese anymore. I tried to grill some chicken the other day, and bit into poultry jelly, because I had undercooked it. Salmenella hasn't set in yet, but I'm waiting.
I'm afraid of what might happen if I try to make toast. Probably burn the house down or something.
Speaking of things that are hot....
Howetown Hotties, Week 4:
Week 4 is a very weak week. I was quite disapointed at the quality of pictures to look at. Indeed (or indeedy), There was only 15 that made the original semi-final list. Oh there were others, but at none that owuld have ultimately made the final 10. Either I was being more selective or the quality simply wasn't there. Or both.
Anyway, I chose Janice of CA, Serena of CA, Amber Dawn of FL, Kimmie of TN, Angel of CA, Kimberly of TX, Valerie of FL, Jaclyn of TX, Diana le of CA, Kristin of OR, Ava of MI, Taylor of FL, Marcia of NC, Erica of FL, Cece of IL, and Jennifer of CA.
As we already stated, Erica of FL has already secured one spot. If anyone has any idea whatsoever as to where I can find a plaid skirt like she wears in her third picture, e-mail me as soon as possible. (NO, it's not for me. Shut up. )
Janice of Ca is cut, as her face seems a bit too broad. Serena is on the fence (figuratively, so we'll come back to her.
Amber Dawn grabs a spot amongst the final 10, so now there are only 8 spots left.
Kimmie of TN is very pretty, but her pictures got progrssively worse when you went from pics 1-3. We'll put her on hold as well.
Angel of CA is a blonde, and a very nice blonde. BLondes like her usually aren't my thing, but we're more than willing to make an exception here. 7 spots left.
Kimberly is gone. Pretty, but plain.
Oops! I just realized I has skipped over Serena of CA. She's in as well, leaving 6 spots.
Valerie of FL is there, and her final picture seals the deal. 5 spots left.
Jaclyn of TX is next, and I have to cut her, because she looks so dour in her pictures, and the one picture where she smiles....well it's just not flattering.
Diana Le of CA makes it as well, which is suprising. There seems to be an upswing in the amount of Oriental women in my choices. It's nothing I've done conciously, but in my limited travels, there have been few that I personally have seen who have deserved Hometown Hottie votes. Diana Le does, though I'm not crazy about the brown and white bikini. 4 spots left.
Kristin of OR reminds me of Jenny McCarthy. This is a good thing. You don't know who Jenny McCarthy is?! Well. I guess I have no choice but to scour around for a picture to show you, then.
Any flimsy excuse for a picture will do. (She's the one on the bed. )
Obviously, Kristin is in. She also comes from OR, a future destination of my own brood. 3 spots to go.
Ava is gone. Dwelling on it any further is a waste of time.
Taylor of FL is hot, and yet looks....cruel. Breakups with her must be painful affairs. And besides, she's a Green Bay fan. You gotta let her go.
Marcia of NC has a nice tush, but is there anything more than that? Naw, not really. Gone, she is.
Cece of IL is next, and she lives in my favorite city, Chicago. And another blonde! My, we're breaking a bunch of tendnacies today. 2 spots left.
Jennifer of CA is there,a nd her first picture is too reminicient of the really sleazy Mariah Carey, rather than the "just a little slutty" Mariah Carey. But the 3rd picture maes up for it in my mind, so on she moves. 1 spot left to choose between Kimmie and Serena. No wait. Serena did get in. Well, that is that then.
The week 3 winners were finally announced, and Nalinee is the first on the list. Well, that works out fine, because that was my first choice as well. 1 for 1! Masha of CA is next, and lo and behold, I had chosen her as well! 2 for 2!
The nation chose Brandi of TX, and I had her on my list,but she was forgotten as I worked my way down the rest of the list. I could say that if she was really all that hot, I would have went back to her, but I'll admit that I may have overlooked her. I think what might ahve hurt her was the face shot in picture #1, because shot #3 is her best. Whimsical, and yet a little titallating. No pun intended.
Bethany? Have no idea where that came from. She is pretty, and at the sme time not. She reminds me of that gay fashion guy who (figratively) slobbers all over Britney SPears and Sarah Jessica Parker (BOTH WAY WAY WAY OVER_RATED).
Ah, but Lidia. A name I am quite familiar with. And her "exotic Brazilian look" is just the salve I need for the burning my eyes took earlier picking girls for week 4.
Jelena of NJ made it, and upon further review, the play is overturned. I can see why she was popular. A beautiful natural smile that doesn't look forced, and some nice curves, even if she does look a bit thin. As the internet community of lonely software programmers might say, "I'd hit it."
Angela of NC, ditto.
Mariah of CA is very pretty, and from Moscow too, which adds a bit of intruige to her. The main problem I had was that she looked like she was wearing more foundation than her frail bone structure could handle. That and the ice cold glare frightened me off chilling me to the bone. And if you know anything about male anatomy, you know that it doesn't respond well to cold.
Thankfully, Gina of CA followed, and warmed me tot he deepest cockles of my heart. Or deepest heart of my....never mind.
Ella of MT was a final cut on my part, and it was only because she was in competition with Gina that cause her to lose out. A woman who is willing to pose with a football and not much else is my kinda girl.
I'm out tomorrow, but should hopefully have my system back up and going possibl by next week.
Soon. Soon, you will be fed daily again. The suffering is almost over. You only have to make it a little longer now.
Listen, baby
Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no valley low
Ain't no river wide enough, baby
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry
'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
