John Murtha will likely be buried at Arlington to avoid all those "racist rednecks" back home in his district. Yeah, he called his own constituents racist rednecks, and still got sent back to DC for a last time. (I suppose he forgot "retards" and "rubberstampers" too. Ugh.) You served your country well.

Yeah, it sucks. But there's plenty of languages spoken by and understood only one person in the universe. Ride METRO long enough, and you'll sit next to one. Heyyyacrackaboyyyyy! Sparrrrranehchaaangssshhhh! You know what that means? I sure as heck don't. But that's the last thing I heard from a Grizzled Cootbag Speckled Bum the other day before I turned on my iPod and checked my messages on the Blackberry. What's scary-sad about them is that every so often, two of them will cross paths on the bus or at a bus stop, and they'll attempt to communicate. Eventually, through hand-gestures and repetition, they settle on the universal language of laughter. Or throwing things at each other. Either way, it's a fascinating scene, and I'd love for some budding young sociologists to take these specimens off for studying.

I thought about visiting a few folks Downtown for their last hour or so of work, but visiting someone like that... reminds me of going Downtown with my dad when I was little. It's just... well, weird. I'd sit in the park and read, but the last few times I've done that end up with a dozen or so bums asking for change. Bum-swarms suck. "I just gave everything to that guy with the shopping cart down the street. Go get him." Maybe sit at Maple Leaf Pub and watch hockey for a bit? Or just find an underground sidewalk cafe that's open and... oh, they all close at 4 or 5? I thought about just wandering the city, snapping photos. Or using my stack of spare memory cards to make a goofy tour of the area, but there won't be enough light for it. (And when there is, it's too hot to be walking about for two hours.) A nap might be nice. If only there were a napping room at work, or a big comfy sofa to lay back on. I should ask about that, then I could set the alarm, take a nap, and wake up refreshed and ready to go. I have the power cord, but not a power strip for the laptop. I'm pretty sure there's a drug store on the way to the coffeehouse... but that's not exactly 2 hours of shopping. And when you're shopping Downtown, once again, bum-swarm. Maybe just go there early, log into SL, enjoy a few hours of music until the people trickle in and... well, stay logged into SL if folks want to see what's so not-dull and not-passe about it. Kick back, fire up the iPod, listen to the backlog of podcasts, random some Wikipedia for the usual stumblejaunt through human knowledge... Whatever. This is the reason why I haven't been to these for a long time... the habit of just hopping on the bus and heading home is too deep in the programming.]]> http://isfullofcrap.com/2010/02/geek_gathering_1.html http://isfullofcrap.com/2010/02/geek_gathering_1.html Houston Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:05:52 -0600 Sorry.
