Smile: Took a half day yesterday and enjoyed it TO THE MAX max max (insert echo effect).

Went for a long (around 90 minutes to two hours) bike ride with the wife, tossed the pigskin around, made sushi with the wife, and ended the night with drinks with a few friends. Great day.

When my boss asked why I was taking a half day my response was (which is 100% true), "My wife called and she's ovulating. So...Practice makes perfect". Probably, TMI, but being honest usually works at work.

Frown: Dunn's death has been nothing but a punchline. I know Popo locked the thread, and I'm sorry we couldn't have a civil discussion concerning the event, but what gets my goat (especially after seeing Bam cry his idiot-savant heart out at the scene of the wreck) is how so many hacks jump on jokes on his death. Ebert aside, so many "comics" have said some really asinine things about Dunn's death. I can't imagine what people would have said about the Challenger explosion if facebook was around.

No worries Popo, that's all I have to say and it's not directed to any of our members.

bonus frown: my office smells like feet.

We had over 700,000 gallons of water flood our offices...mine still needs some care.

Smile: The crazy threads on the site tonight. Kudos to everyone.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I didn't have to, it was a choice... kinda. They promised the game if I helped.

Smile: I got to try the GL Wii game.
Frown: Its just a port of the 3DS game on the Wii and it's an exact port (minus 3D) including graphics which are not as nice on a big screen.

Ticked: I rebooted a server and it didn't come back up. The server is super critical and I forgot to make sure there was a backup first.

Smile: I got on site and it turned out to be the CMOS battery had died. Dodged a bullet. Backing up in 5, 4, 3 ...
