I've got to check the rest of this cute little flash game out later. I played just for a little bit. Your mission: You're a drunk guy that missed his curfew and you have to get to bed without waking up your girlfriend. Too funny. I would love to see the raw flash file to see how that thing was coded!

Speaking of games, I've been addicted to the stuff over at Popcap Games lately. I'm addicted to Bookworm and Atomica. I've even got Dad playing there. It's addicting. Marcus told me that some guy called the help desk where he works because he couldn't get to the site. (It's on the job's list of banned URLs). Moron.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

I had Dad over for grilled steaks and corn, potato salad and strawberry shortcake. YUM!

Current mood: angry
This really pisses me off, but not why you might think. I pass by the area at least once every day and seeing this "memorial" makes my blood boil. I can totally understand why people put up roadside memorials for victims of accidents or events beyond their control--drunk drivers, accidental shootings, terrorist attacks. This was none of those things. This was a criminal that was caught and decided to charge officers rather than be a man and be arrested peacefully. He brought this whole thing on himself.
Here's an answer for you: your son was an ass, he stole someone else's property and used it to endanger other people's lives, he had absolutely no respect for people, including you. When you attack cops, you get killed. What if one of the cars he was ramming on I-225 lost control and people inside died? How would you feel about your beloved son then? Take your stupid memorial and put it on your son's grave site, but get the damned thing off of the public street.

The thing that also infuriated me is that Dad told me this morning that people were picketing there with anti-police signs the other day. I hope there are no officers available to help them the next time they need them.

Ok, I need to get to work, but I needed to get that off my chest.

Oh, I almost forgot to post this:

Congratulations!

My friends, Mike and Nina, had a baby girl on Monday.

Her name is Sarah.

Cute kid.
