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.
A good game of poker is hard to find, glad you found one in such cheer sucking weather. Try and hang in there.

ha! Good analogy! I played basketball once with some old guys (not seeming quite so old now) like that when I was fresh out of high school. Those guys beat the hell out of us….physically as well as on the scoreboard. We were just there for fun and to drink a couple beers, but apparently that game was all they had left….
love the description of winter. right now, ours has gone from fluffy and lacey, to uh. rainy. and now we’re back to fluffy.
looks like we’ve just about skipped the ice. the fog is still to come, and this may yet be the death of me.
coz you know. donuts in the the grocery store parking lot at 6 am NEVER go outta season.
Awesome. Good to hear that you found a decent game.
the only things of mine that tear away during sports are my muscles. i’d play a nice friendly game of poker with you – extra extra friendly, so maybe you’d have pity on me and not take all my money.
I was thinking of moving to Montana at one point but the winter definately deterred me. Then there was Arizona which seemed perfect , outside the desert of course. I just know it will end up being out west. The only place down South that I would consider for a settlement would be Savannah, GA or somewhere else on the Georgia coast.
Well, then in that case…Thanks.
I see you’re in Wyoming, my home state! Where are you living and did you just move there?
brrrr….i don’t like winter. cozy up, farley.
and yeah, if you found your sociable niche, then stick to it, cuz sooner or later they’re bound to get all James Wood- ey anyway.
I know what hot linking is. However, with my blog that has a readership of 20 (on a good day) I don’t care much about internet etiquette.
Honestly, the internet is a place where I can have, at my beck and call, pictures of girls having anal sex with horses… BUT NO HOTLINKING! PLEASE CAN WE HAVE SOME DECORUM?!
In any event; I tried, failed, and fixed it. Nobody gets hurt.
It doesn’t matter – the site doesn’t block hotlinking on a case by case basis, people just turn it off, so when you rip off a picture, rehost it someplace.
That’s what I ended up doing. I figured I might get it to work. It was a cheap joke to begin with.
I understand the blocking of hotlink. That’s just covering your own ass. I just don’t give a shit if I’m being rude by attempting to hotlink something.
Well, you should get on the bus because you THINK you don’t care but then someday one of your brilliant blogs gets posted to fark or something and you use up half of movies.com’s bandwidth allotment and they want to have a ‘talk’ with you . . . you have the typical attitude of a leechy internet latecomer and it’s pretty sorry that you can’t use a simple courtesy. The next time we go somewhere I think I will ‘just not give a shit’ about things like ‘waiting in line behind sol.’ It’s that kind of thing – which I don’t see you doing in real life . . . so maybe ‘you just don’t give a shit’ about ANY of society’s niceties, but you only actually push them online where the people are far away?
So where in Wyoming are you, or did I miss that?? Unfortunately I do work out in the weather I’m on a ranch right outside of Pinedale. I don’t think that I could handle Wyo’s winters anywhere else in the state because at least I have the mountains to look at!!
Bwah hahahahha James Woods syndrome! That’s fuckin GREAT. I’m gonna use that.
thanks.
