The Game At Last…

Remember the movie “Alive”, about the soccer team that was flying through the Andes to go to a game and hit a mountain back in 1972? Well, the Andes crash survivors reunited to play the soccer match they never got to play 30 years ago. Their story has always fascinated me and it’s amazing that they survived given what all they had to go through – so it made me cry when I saw they finally got to play the game with the best soccer equipment available that everybody bought for them.

So You Want to Know?

Men often complain that women never tell them what they want when it comes to sex, which I personally don’t agree with. Most women, if they are wise, will either tell you or guide you. Watch for the context clues, because you can bet they are there. Meanwhile, you can always study this list to see where you are missing the mark. Or if the man in your life is missing the hints, maybe you should print this out and leave it somewhere for him?

However, please do not follow the advice on #5. If you ask her over and over if you have found it, she might just slap you. And you probably deserve it. When you find it, you will know. On the other hand, the advice on #3 (and lots of the others) is really, really good. It’s the little things that often mean the most. Thanks, now get your tongue out of my ear. [via Ryland]

Oh, and by the way – before anyone asks, I didn’t post this list because of any negative personal experiences I have had in my past. It was actually Ryland’s take on it that cracked me up. That said, anything that didn’t make the list that should have? Or that you think you have even better advice for?

Googleplex…

I was really amused as I read the Google Corporate Information page. I mean, just check out the “Lobby Décor” section – “…and live projection of current search queries from around the world.” So the next time YOU do a search on Google, someone at headquarters could be watching it on a wall! The whole thing just screams “Dot.com Days Gone By” to me though – exercise balls, lava lamps … it’s amazing to me that Google didn’t jinx itself right out of existence! [via Matt]

Where Are You Coming From…

I have the theme song from Spiderman stuck in my head now, playing over & over. Spiderman … where are you coming from? Spiderman … nobody knows who you are… Someone, please – make it stop! Really, it’s all Mike’s fault. That’s what happens when he plays Spiderman out on the balcony, over a lake in Holland…

That’s It?

I just finished the MovableType upgrade on this set of blogs (I have others to do still) in about 5 minutes. It took longer to fill out the form at MT to get the files then it did to do the upgrade itself! SWEET!

I’m now pinging Wander-Lust thanks to Kristine. I’ve also added the “On This Day” plugin to the site – it’s on the sidebar of some skins under “Back in Time”. Maybe I should rename it “Stale Cookies”?!

Fixing my MT Search is still on the list of things to do, along with several other things. You can see them all here.
