I made a small fire for my friend's New Years party. I used one of those small, tin bowls - er fire pits. I did a good enough job on the coals that it survived nearly and inch of rain and constant drizzle for over 6 hours.

It's a really good thing we have as good of an AV suite as we do, here at work. Seems like half the account preservations I process these days are chock full of trojans.

I finished reading The Fellowship of the Ring to my son, and we watched the movie. Must be genetic, because he was annoyed at the same changes I was. Like me, he was particularly annoyed by the overpronunciation of "Mordor". He says, "Why do they keep calling it 'Mrrccccc-drrrrcccchhhh'?" I don't know son. I don't know.

This is the first time I've read it since I saw the movie. I was actually surprised that some of the things that bugged me in the movie were actually explicitly in the book. For example, I really disliked the voice Galadriel used, but sure enough, Tolkien says right there in black and white that her voice was deeper than an average woman's.

It must be really weird to be a pet lizard. Imagine having someone a thousand times your size pick up your house, squirt you with water, then not even have the common decency to put your house back in the same place!

Lizard will just lizard. It's what lizards do.

Flubby is a portmanteau. We bought two identical lizards, one for each of the kids; who named them Tubby and Fluffy. Then the lizards suddenly thunderdomed, and we don't know who won, so; Flubby.

I must be more tired than I thought, but goddammit did I laugh my ass off at the mention of two lizards fighting to the death like gladiators. I swear, I heard the Amok Time music playing in my head...

Well... I now know not to own more than one lizard then.

For some reason when I've been drinking bottled beer as of late the taste feels odd to me. Like it has a chickeny or cheesy after-taste. My dad drinks the same beer as me and he doesn't taste it so it must just be me. Maybe I just have a weird tongue?

My dad is so sweet, and his love of Facebook always amuses. He's known as the "birthday fairy," because he wishes EVERYONE on his list a happy birthday without fail.

I was talking about these stories I'm working on, expressing some self doubt, and this is what he says to encourage me: "You're a gifted writer! And look at your Facebook statuses; they always get such a big reaction!"

Verbatim. Cher my daddy. Ima call him again tomorrow.

I made a Facebook page for my cat. Every post as if my cat is actually posting it. Half my friends/relatives can't figure out who is actually posting for my cat.

I don't know if that is sad, awesome, or sadly awesome.

I should make a facebook page for my chickens. That could be hilarious. Maybe strap an old monitor and keyboard in the cage for pictures so people see how the chickens are updating their status...

But when they get a little overpopulated, are you going to have a beauty shot of one of them coming out of the broiler?

Post photoshoped pictures of the coop on fire then little chickens in firemen hats pulling out a bucket of KFC from the burned coop while hens look on crying.

Unless one of the hens spontaneously changes sex, we will not have to worry about overpopulation. Roosters, aside from making cracking eggs an adventure of Schrodinger proportions, are fairly aggressive and noisy creatures, and thus aren't found in our coop.

Wow, sexist.

I changed my email notification recently to the sound of a Mass Effect Reaper and now I'm terrified every time I get an email.

Now change your text message notification to the sound of solid snake getting noticed in MGS and your ringtone to the "you're running out of time" sped-up super mario bros song. You'll be a nervous wreck by the end of the week.

In other news, I made the mistake once of making one of my favorite songs my alarm clock notification. Talk about negative reinforcement, I hate that song now.

Put in a ringtone of a crying baby. You'll never feel like you got to it quick enough. Would you like a recording of your outsourced baby crying? Turns out he doesn't like diaper changes.

I'm surprised you don't start lactating at the sound of a crying baby.

I have the TNG door chime as my text message sound. It immediately acts as a fellow geek identifier and attractor.

The Doofenschmirtz Evil Inc. jingle is my ringtone.

But if we do decide to consume the chicken rather than the egg, we'll probably keep the other chickens in the dark about it. Maybe tell them she won an all expenses paid vacation to a summer resort.

They'll be sooooo jealous.
