I Could Use a Massage

Like someone stepping all over my back. My lower back needs some serious softening up.
Food Poisoning
Sunday, February 17, 2008 Comments
I’m pretty sure I’ve been suffering from a case of food poisoning over the last 2 days 
. I think it was a steak I had. Medium-rare has never done me wrong until now. It should pass in the next day or two according to my doctor, WebMD. Last night I thought I was coming down with a cold. I was getting the chills and I felt feverish. I downed about a gallon of water and went to bed early (1 am) for the first time in months. Luckily I felt much better this morning (actually noon). But other undesirable effects of food poisoning still persist…
Use Your Period For Good

I was looking at movie trailers late last night over at Yahoo Movies and an advertisement came on for tampons and the ending tagline was just so damn ridiculous (and funny). Basically the commercial was saying many girls in Africa miss school during their period because they don’t have protection. Then it said whenever you buy Tampax, they’ll donate tampons to African girls or something like that.
The commercial ends with a woman saying, in an uplifting tone:
My Brothers

I was looking at some old pictures and I found this image of my brothers. If I remember correctly, this was back in the summer of 2003. I was up in Ithaca attending summer classes at Cornell. It sure made life easier sharing the workload between the three of us. Identical triplets really come in handy.
Baited?
Thursday, February 14, 2008 Comments
Someone tried to ‘bait’ me into making a move today but I sort of left them hanging (that sounds harsher than it really was and no, I’m not going to be more specific about it). I always either read too much into something or I’m too dense to take a hint. Either way, it gets me into situations I don’t like. There happens to be history with this person that took me a while to put behind me. To be honest, I was tempted but I’m not walking down the same path again if it’s unlikely to go anywhere.
Uhm… No, No, NO

“The Hottie and the Nottie” proves the nonexistence of God
“Considering roughly 90% of the civilized world would pay good money to see Ms. Hilton’s brains bashed out by an angry homeless person, Paris Hilton’s presence in this film alone is enough to make it positively horrendous. That she also executive produced it makes it nothing less than an abomination.”
This editorial made me laugh out loud a couple times. Watching this movie may make you dumber by several orders of magnitude. Even entertaining the idea of watching it is really stupid.
Oh No…

Prolonged cell phone use reduces sperm count/quality? Read about the recent study here. Maybe it’s a good idea to get back on AIM.
Happy Chinese New Year
Thursday, February 7, 2008 Comments
Well, to be more politically correct, Happy Lunar New Year! Since many Asian cultures also celebrate the lunar new year. Well the year of the pig (I’m a pig on the zodiac) is over now so lets usher in the year of the rat.
Microsoft Offers to Buy Yahoo for $44.6 Billion
Friday, February 1, 2008 Comments
Well I fire up my RSS reader and of course the big news everybody is talking about this morning is Microsoft’s proposed acquisition of Yahoo. I always thought this would be a good thing considering there’s just no way Microsoft by itself can compete with Google in search. Microsoft’s share is just too small and while Yahoo is ailing, it has lots of valuable assets and web properties (aside from the obvious main Yahoo portal), hence the enormity of the offer. If it happens, it would be one of the largest, if not the largest tech takeover. Microsoft can probably fund a huge chunk of this acquisition using cash they have on hand.
