What do YOU do while you’re waiting for your Ubuntu 8.10 Release Candidate ISO to download?

I played THIS GAME for quite a while.

(btw, my wife is WAY better at it than I am)

because it would have come out of my nose…. Dana sent me this link. Let me give you an excerpt…

“I picked out.. ..a likely looking one, stepped out from the end of the feeder, and threw.. ..my rope. The deer just stood there and stared at me.

I wrapped the rope around my waist and twisted the end so I would have a good hold. The deer still just stood and stared at me, but you could tell it was mildly concerned about the whole rope situation.”

I’ll let that whet your appetite, and you can read the whole thing after the jump.

she made a very good point that applies to our household. She said that her husband is so glad she blogs because that takes a thousand words out *re-directs a thousand words* of her daily vocabulary.

In our house, I am definitely the talker (though our 2-year-old is already giving me a run for my money). I have a MINIMUM number of words I need to GET OUT every day, and my wife has a MAXIMUM number she can TAKE IN before I start sounding like Charlie Brown’s teacher.

Anyone who reads this can see that I’m not one who would be categorized as a “writer” but I’m finding this more and more to be a great way to knock a few hundred words out. I’m sure my wife appreciates that too.

It’s a really good that that when I’m at home I’ve got a wonderful wife to talk some sense into me when I get too focused on something. The last two nights here at the conference, I’ve found that I get wrapped up in making something big happen, and I forget to go to bed. I really REALLY didn’t intend to stay up late tonight after staying up too late last night. Here it is, 2:40 in the AM and I just realized how late it really was, that I’m hungry, and I’ll be getting very little sleep again tonight. The good news is, my part of this project is nearing completion!

There…I just took a picture of my very sleepy self on my phone and emailed it to myself. Now to insert it in this post…. aren’t you all so very glad I took the time to do that before going to bed?

It’s a viscous cycle isn’t it? I realize I’m up too late, so I write about being up too late, which keeps me up even later. Ok, now i’m just rambling, It’s 2:49 am.

good nightttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

It looks like…. it might be….. i think it’s happening……. MY WIFE IS BLOGGING AGAIN!! She’s one of my favorite writers, I hope this isn’t a one night stand.
