Robot Journal Q Expectations

Dog Years Welcome! Finally.

The Weather Hello! It’s really cold here in the big stink, as it is every friggin place else. I think it’s like 20 degrees outside, and in Canadian (i.e. Celsius) that would be… hold on… twenty times one third minus thirty two plus twelve divided by seven…. carry the four let’s see that would… be… hmmmmm OK, in Celsius that would be ‘triangle’.

Crime ain’t pretty This week has been all about criminals it seems here on the robot. Internet celebrity Henry Earl, my lawless kin folk, that nutty lottery non-winner lady, and four busted Matt Johnsons. And for a while I felt a little guilty about posting links and images to all these folks. Some sort of “not being in jail” guilt it seemed.

Robot Book Yes, I also agree. Robot book is good. I investigated it before, and I will do it again. If anyone has ever used one of those online publishers before, please drop me an (hit that contact button on the top left).

Cube 63 We tried a new sushi place on Clinton Street – a neighborhood that has been lacking in the Japanese cuisine department. Cube 63 was described by our pal Joanna as: “It's small and looks kind of like the inside of a spaceship” Which I think is the best description of anything… ever! My new sweater? It's small and looks kind of like the inside of a spaceship. My feelings on the 2004 presidential election? It's small and looks kind of like the inside of a spaceship. My description of Eric (w): It's small and looks kind of like the inside of a spaceship. Lovely. But, right. The restaurant. It was pretty cool.

Pat Last Saturday night we went to Motor City for Pat’s ‘going away to war’ party. Dubya-tee-eff - how did this happen? We are in our thirties (some of us). Our friends are not supposed to be going off to war now – that only happens when we are 19. Well, Pat seemed in good spirits. He will be gone for two years. Two years. When you are young, two years is nothing. But when you have a career and own homes or buildings and have a marriage, two years is a real pain I imagine. BTW, Pat and MattyJ made up. MattyJ said, “Pat, I should have hired you”. Pat, good luck once again. May the Force™ be with you.

Lord of some things We, too, saw that Lord of those things movie the other night. It was a fine movie, but being that I am not someone who read the books nor has the attention span, I spent a lot of the movie thinking, “what’s his name?” and “who is that?” and “he has giant flying eagles? Dubya tee eff?!” But, boy it’s a pretty movie. They did a fine job. My pal Scott commented that he hopes George Lucas goes home and cries after seeing these movies since he so screwed up the Star Wars thing.

Lucas Yea, let me go on the record and say that these Star Wars prequel movies are a fiasco. I hope George, his children, and his many necks come up with something to save the franchise with the next movie. But, I am not holding my breath. Up yours, George – you idiot.

The Kurds Poor crazy mixed up Kurds. Will they ever win?
