Random Shit

Is it just me, or does the Chinese gymnastics team totally look like a bunch of third-graders? The Chinese government offers the team's passports as proof of their age, but what comes to my mind is this:

Aren't those passports issued by the Chinese government?

It strikes me as kind of like showing up in probate court with a typewritten will signed with an X and all the witnesses are beneficiaries. But maybe that's just me. I can't think of any athletic advantage to be gained by slipping in children instead of legal-age gymnasts.

Playin' Catch-Up

What's new? Well, a lot of things.

As of the last posting (see "Old Shit" below), our roster of household pets was down to two beagles. Since then, we've acquired a young rabbit (brought in out of the yard by my father to keep it out of harm's way while he mowed), a trio of cast-off Easter chicks with dyed down (blue, green and pink) that had started to molt and grow in their white, adult feathers, and most recently a pup of indeterminate breed who's being kept separate from the beagles, who went absolutely apeshit at the new arrival.

I checked my Hotmail account and found out that some jerk in Brazil had signed up for a MySpace account using MY address. I changed my email password, then I clicked on the "forgot my password" link to have them send the MySpace password for that account to my email address. I changed the password for the MySpace account (I feel it's my right, since it's connected to my address) and replaced all of Brazil Boy's content with my own...well, what little content I have that could be considered safe for children, anyway. Let that be a lesson to all other would-be MySpace users: Make ABSOLUTELY sure the email address you sign up with is your own.

My time is currently divided between Real Life (my arch-nemesis), writing, 3D rendering with DAZ|Studio, downloading more content for DAZ|Studio (on my dial-up connection, that takes a while) and video games--both playing and making. And people wonder why it takes me so long to write a relatively short chapter in a story.

Well, that's the short version of it.
