Everyone needs to watch Jeopardy tomorrow and root for Hayley. Not only did she grow up down the street from me, but she’s incredibly bright and will probably clean up tomorrow. Check it out!

It sat there so innocently. “Hey, guess what day today is?” it would ask, hoping to spur my memory. “Uh… Thursday?” I responded without thinking. I was too distracted with work to notice that it went off to cry in the corner.
Yesterday was, in fact, my second anniversary with blogging. What did I have planned to mark the occasion? Maybe an unveiling of a previously spoiled redesign? Perhaps a cool new section for the blog that’s been in the works for a couple months? Yeah… none of that is actually ready right now… -sheepish grin-
It’s been a couple weeks since the prank, but I promised pictures to some of you (plus it’s too good to pass up). My manager recently took a trip to Hawaii for a wedding. Since I had been threatening to prank her office since… I think… before I even officially started?… I figured it was time to make good on the threat. Another of her reports and I decided that pink was the way to go, and what a coincidence! Pink sticky notes abound in the Microsoft supply rooms. Let the redecoration begin…
I know, two posts in a row with the word “pastime” in the title. It sorta bugs me, but not enough to change it. Just enough to comment about it in a lengthy non sequitur at the start of the post. Anyway.

For each mile marker you pass, factor it into primes. Easier on the west end of an even-numbered interstate; more difficult as you travel east. It’s great for keeping your mind awake. Unless you hate math… then it might be great for falling asleep at the wheel.
Hey, there’s a new Die Hard movie coming out. Being a fan of the first three, I’m definitely going to go see this when it’s in the theaters! Especially since I didn’t get to for any of the first three (which is to say, my parents did not, in fact, take me to see a Rated R movie when I was 6, 8, or 13).
At first I was concerned about Bruce Willis pulling off the same character 10 years after the last film, but the preview convinced me. As for his co-star, on the other hand…
Here’s the caption. BW: “OK, I’m going to go bash the bad guys with this red metal bar in my hand.” Mac Guy: “And I’ll make a delightful photo slideshow of the scene with my new iMac!”
… But Kevin Smith is in the movie, so that should more than make up for it.
