Jen Love, redux

"News" is out now that JLH has a new, slimmer look. I'm conflicted on this. Last year, she spoke out on being criticized for her bikini pictures. Now, she's touting a new look.

Either way, I'm still in love (heh). Though I will admit, I prefer the before picture ...



... minus the douchebag holding her hand. That should be me.

Since it's closer to football season

Why not get a football post out of the way now?

Finally got the new NCAA '09 game last week. If it's any indication, then MSU is in for a rough few years and last season was a fluke. In reality, I don't think this coming season will be that bad. I'd like to think another winning season and bowl game is forthcoming, but we MSU fans have thought that a number of times before only to have our hopes and dreams smashed.

The Mighty Weir Lions prepare for year 2 in the south state division. Last season saw a run through the playoffs stopped short of Jackson by defending champ Puckett. Then Puckett goes and lays an egg in Jackson to Ray Brooks? Good gosh.

This coming season will be interesting for me. Both of my teams have expectations. MSU has to prove last year wasn't a fluke and Weir has to do what Weir expects to do, win the state championship.

In the words of a football legend: Let's rock.

Things I love about my job

And by 'love', I mean 'hate so much that I want to punch kittens'.

This super project I've been working on for the past couple of months is coming up in a short time. I would have said that I was 97% complete. The guy that could finish the remaining 3% has been on vacation.

Then I decide, for some crazy reason, to test my work again. Why would I want to test something that is for all intents and purposes finished?

If I hadn't have tested my stuff when I did, I wouldn't have noticed that the vendor had changed the output format without any notice. That means my code didn't work as well. I went from 97% to about 75% like that.

Thank God I get paid overtime.

The cold slap of reality

Or something like that. There were layoffs today. Some folks with many years of work put in. It was an eerie day today.

Random ramblings

1. Thank God it's pay day. It felt like I was in college all over again.

2. It's been almost a week and The Dark Knight and The Joker are still ruling my world.

3. Stupid cable hookup in my room came loose on us earlier this week, which knocked out the cable box, which caused my shows not to be recorded. I need my fill of Colbert!

4. Speaking of shows, I happened to notice the Heroes countdown is back up and running. YATA!

5. So I was invited to a dinner part last night. It was a semi-Bulldog Club affair. It was a little different in that it was hosted at someone's house instead of a conference room somewhere. A friend mentioned that the hostess works with me. All I have to say is damn. I might, just might be able to afford a corner in one of the smaller rooms of their house.

Still, it was a nice event. Got to talk to AD Greg Byrne again. My buddy was able to get "in" with Byrne back when he was first hired at MSU. Now that he's AD and still making small talk with us, awesome.

And folks should be proud to know that I did not do a cannonball into the pool.

6. The "media room" as the hostess calls it gets its own spot. I call it the "man room". That's what I hope heaven is like.

7. It's August, which means the football season is quickly approaching. I can't wait. I'm going bold this season and traveling to all but one road game with my road warrior buddy. First stop: Ruston, La?

8. I mentioned in my last work rambling post that I was working on a project that should it function properly, I was going to shout it loud to the world. Well, last time I tested it, it was awful close.

9. Did I mention that I'm glad today is payday? NCAA Football 2009, here I come.

10. And it wouldn't be a true blog post without a little personal whining, right? That's what blogs are for. When no one else will listen to you, post it here for no one else to see. Ok, here goes: being single sucks.

11. Just so I won't end on a downer, I'm thinking Keifer's downtown for lunch. Curly fries FTW!
