Seriously, I am discouraged by how much easier it is to do a quick post in Facebook than it is with my own Movable Type. Somehow, Movable Type has to figure out how to allow for typing right on the page, instead of opening another whole new page. It is obviously possible. No, I do not think Facebook has a copy right to basic programing. If they do, it is anti-capitalistic.

It is Sunday morning, my sister, brother-in-law, and my nieces have gone to church. I am contemplating doing laundry. I figured while using brain cells for such a mundane activity as thinking, I would whip out a quick blog post. To be honest, I really could do more posting. It is just that, well, being the world's greatest unpublished author really does take its toll on a person. But I struggle through.

Anyway, I have finished my morning routine of journaling, reading my meditation books (which really is not meditation, but what the hell, who am I to argue about the naming of books), and drinking my cup of coffee. And yes, no cream or sugar, you heathens! Seriously, there is a level in hell reserved for people who desecrate coffee in such a vile manner.

Anyway, my next week of employment is training down in St. Paul. I even get a hotel room for the week! So, I am going to make sure I have a week worth of clothing to bring with me, as well as real coffee. We all know that hotels provide low-grade coffee grounds laced with petroleum-based preservatives in a vain attempt to retain that fresh-roasted flavor. One sip of that crude oil and I am burping for the rest of the day. Granted, I am a man and I enjoy a good burp, but not all day, and not when the flavor of crap coffee accompanies the burps. Disgusting!

Well, you all enjoy your Sunday. I have laundry to finish.

I re-uploaded Movable Type 5.12. I had issues the last time it uploaded, and I never did upload the static image files. So, now I am just doing a quick post to see if things went smoothly. If you are reading this, it means it has.

Well crap. Never mind. Movable Type is not compatible with my Nokia's browser.

Okay! Off to my first day at the new job.

Oh. Dear. FSM! There has to be medication to help the poor souls who partake of this particular holiday. I know you will all join me in praying for them. Self flagellation with wet noodles is permitted as you pray, but please keep the moans down. I mean; seriously! What would the neighbors think?

Sheesh!

This is a test post. I would tell you to ignore it, but obviously you are already reading it, making it too late to tell you to ignore it. Silly human.

To those who lost loved ones, my thoughts are with you. Hopefully you have been able in some way to get over the loss of 10 years ago.

To those of you who's only connection is you are an American citizen, build a bridge and get over it.

Update: And in celebration of today, as well as in following my own advice, I am now going to clean my apartment. My life has certainly moved on.

Okay. Finished my hot bath. The threat of cramping appears to be gone. However, my body is sweating up a storm. But that is to be expected after bicycling 25 miles in the middle of the day under a partly cloudy sky, followed by taking a hot bath. Your mileage may vary, though

Now, I am off to make myself some late lunch.

First, Philosoraptor asks a question.



Next; search Jeff Foxworthy on Minnesota and I come up first in the list. Well, at the time I did this post. However, that my blog should come up first on the list ought to tell you how far from popularity he has fallen.

And finally, though not really a link, it is a fun picture taken with my new Blackberry given to me for my job.

To all my East Coast Blogging friends in the path of Irene; my thoughts and hopes are with you as you face the storm.

Tonight I am dining on the gourmet delight of Grilled Cheese & Hardwood Smoked Turkey Hotdogs with grilled steak flavored potato chips. Photos will not be forthcoming.

It is a relatively simple meal to make. Wrap the hotdogs in paper towels, heat in the microwave for 1:30 minutes. Meanwhile, very lightly butter the insides of the bread, spice to taste, add cheese. When the hotdogs are done, slice them in half and lay them out on one slice of bread, cover with the other, then grill to desired color.
