Tonight’s entry:
Another entry for the Book of Suck:
Why do people zip content on the modern internet when the original document is:
1. Under five megs uncompressed
2. Divx or mp3 content that won’t even compress very much?
That aside, I haven’t really been talking about personal things very much lately.
The snow (or rather, the frost) is here. This place has these awful winters. I would best describe winter in Wyoming as “sharp.” There isn’t a ton of fluffy happy snow, and it isn’t 31 degrees and still the morning after a snowfall. – there’s a quarter inch of snow, a quarter inch of ice, and the temp floats between 25 and -25 – except for the days when it hits 50 or 60 during the day . . . then 15 or 16 degrees at night. The mornings after that, it’s just a full inch of ice.
It’s brittle. Brittle and sharp. It makes lethargy easy. It makes you want to skip your errands, it makes you glad your don’t work outside.
Played poker the other night with some guys I’d never played with before – it was a very nice socialble game. (I am always looking for a nice, socialble game).
It was a relief to play poker with some guys that weren’t wanna-be hard-asses. Usually you can’t play poker in this country for six hours without running into what I call “James Woods syndrome” – the people that are just way too intense for the leauge they play in.
I guess they are the equivilent of 40 year old men on the bball court that own sweatbands, kneepads, safety glasses, and tear-aways.
