Well I finally went and did it and missed an entry *hangs head in shame* I have a good excuse though! An old high school friend I hadn’t talked to in 7 years called me late last night to go out. I got home at 5:15 AM…..I am in so much pain
Apprentice review tomorrow…got swamped
Wow, I have like NOTHING to say today! Seriouslly! I have had no time to read the news, nothing. Um….bunnies are soft?
Yahoo! News – Kan. Police Make Arrest in BTK Killings
Anyone who knows me knows that I am fascinated by serial killers. I don’t want to be one, don’t think they are great guys, I just find the psychology amazing.
BTK though…this guy doesn’t fit the traditional mold. He almost seems to have desired the public attention. From the above linked article:
Another letter to the newspaper also underscored BTK’s need for recognition.
“How about some name for me, its time: 7 down and many more to go,” it read in part. “I like the following. How about you? ‘THE B.T.K STRANGLER, ‘WICHITA STRANGLER’, ‘POETIC STRANGLER’, ‘THE BONDAGE STRANGER’ OR ‘PSYCHO’, ‘THE WICHITA HANGMAN’, ‘THE WICHITA EXECUTIONER,’ ‘THE GAROTE PHATHOM’, ‘THE ASPHYXIATER’.”
That is HIGHLY unusual. Typically serial killers may enjoy taunting the police, but looking for national attention? Highly odd.
If this does turn out to be him, I will be very interested in the studies done on him.

Not a huge fan of this site, but I do like seeing what is going on at Toy Fair. Back in my writing days I went to TF 1992 – 1998….I miss it.
Sorry folks, still busy trying to learn everything about Mambo!
Sadly I don’t have a lot to say right now, but I did promise myself I would make some sort of entry everyday. I’m researching CMS programs like Mambo to see if they will work for my company website. Working my way through the AFI Top 100 Films of the 20th Century (tonight is An American In Paris). Stressing over some things with the new company, that will hopefully work themselves out.
But alas, nothing that exciting to write about tonight! See you all tomorrow!
WE GOT IT! WE GOT IT! WE GOT IT! Wish I could tell you WHAT it is we got, but man am I thrilled! At long last, several years of work and hopes has paid off , and the adventure begins!
About four months ago I watched Super Size Me, the documentry by Morgan Spurlock about the nature of fast food. While not the perfect example of a documentry, it still spoke to me.
Anyone who knows me knows I have always been overweight. I don’t enjoy it, I never have, and I have been working hard to drop some of my weight. Super Size Me finally made me decide it was time to completly drop fast food from my diet. I went completly cold turkey and dropped everything. I even switched off of my beloved Classic Coke and went strictly Diet A&W (I couldn’t give up sodas completly). I have felt better, lost two pants sizes so far and am exercising every single day.
Tomorrow is D-Day for my new company. One of my two partners is going to a meeting that will determine the final fate of our first license. We have sunk a lot of time, love and money into devoloping these first products, and hopefully they will give the thumbs-up to everything.
Talk about nerve racking though. I have 110% trust in this partner of mine and his abilities, but it feels awfully weird to have a meeting happening that will effect your life like this, and you aren’t even going to be there!
So about 24 more hours of nail-biting!
