An Exercise In Futility, Not To Be Confused With Yoga

First, the really exciting news---Lego Indiana Jones coming out for a gaming system near you in summer of '08 to jive with the release of Indy IV! Yeah!!!! I love both Lego Star Wars games. First, because they are just freakin' funny and cute. Second, because I can actually beat them! Woo!

Fridge Update: No fridge yet. In preparation, I have removed all magnets and photos from dead fridge. I have also cleared a path to the fridge. I still need to clean off the top, which I don't think I've done in about 5 years or so. This is what happens when you live alone. Of course, deciding you can hack off the ice without consequence also happens when you live alone. The benefits of a spouse must include the prevention of bone headed behaviour.

Hobbit Update: Heard today that the trial has occured. Don't know when, but word is he got 1 1/2 yrs. prison or probation---I think it's prison time. He also got fined $20,000 PLUS restitution. Current word is he also did something else, but I don't think I can go into it right now. I can say he took company "property" that didn't belong to him. We only hire the best.

Computer Update: Still screwed. The system was down all morning. Was up for about an hour in the afternoon, crashed again for around 30 or so minutes and then came back up. Word is we are getting a new server sent to us tomorrow. The store will need to plan around its installation. We will have to close all day in order to get it done is what I hear. No offense, but getting a new server and closing for a day was what we should have done in the first place. I don't know what I was expecting though. This is the company that had us using Windows 95 up until 2 years ago. We could have bought a couple of servers for what we've paid for in parts and labor. Not to mention the pain and suffering of employees and customers alike. Allegedly, one customer threatened to return with a gun she was so pissed off. I didn't hear who was telling that story so it's probably an exaggeration, but not by much I'm guessing.

WATCH IT:

Went and saw The Simpsons Movie last night. It was pretty damn funny. The story slows just a bit, but they did a better job with a plot than the Reno 911 movie. There were some touching moments as well and Tom Hanks' cameo is a hoot. One of my favorite lines comes when Homer is working his way to an epiphany. He is shouting out the different thoughts and revelations he is having and one of them is "if you shake it more than twice it's playing with yourself!" I about fell out of my seat with that one.
