1-IX-2006 or TT4N!
by Aaron Shurtleff on September 1, 2006

Well, this will be the last time I blog here until 9/18 or so, when I will be back from vacation. Barring a European internet cafe, or some such nonsense. (How does one get the little accent on the e? I feel like a dumdum not having it!) I know you will all miss me terribly, but these things happen form time to time! ;)

I've had it suggested I try to see Legoland, which I am led to understand is an entire miniture village made out of Legos outside of Copenhagen. I'm there!

The "situation" at work made the newspapers! Well, it was in the Gainesville newspapers, anyways! And after I was scared it would be all covered up! I won't put a link to it (that would be kind of tacky, eh?), but anyone who checks out the Gainesville Sun, and looks for references to UF professors and time card scams, would probably find it. It was actually one of the MJ Morning Show "Morons in the News" articles!! Not that many people would know about the MJ Morning Show, which is a radio show around here, but Morons in the News speaks for itself.

I just know that at least one of you will go look! It's a good article! ;) Let your curiosity guide you!

Anyhow, I'm packed, ready to go, and a little excited! It will be interesting to see other countries. I'm especially curious if there will be any kind of hoo haw about the 5th anniversary of 9/11. And I do mean both positive and negative hoo haw. I'll keep you posted!!

I also have to learn how to get pictures in here, in case I take some. Got a new camera from my wife for the trip, so we'll see how badly I can mess it up!! :)

Song of the day for today will be a song I don't know the title of, nor who sings it, but it annoys me on the radio on a daily basis, so I will just put the part of it I know up here, and everyone will scream in pain, like I am right now.

"Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?
Don't you wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?
Don't you? Don't you?"

I might have squished together two verses there, but it hurts either way! :)

I'm sure it'll win 12 grammys, I hate it that much! :(

Well, I'll talk to you all in a few weeks! Seeya!

That song is by the talentless group The Pussycat Dolls. They're almost as bad as Fergie.

Dave Barry can add "Morons in the News" to his list of great names for rock bands.

Enjoy the trip, Aaron!

25-IV-2008 or Seedy Underground

Here it is, at great risk to my personal safety. A photo of what goes on in the seedy underground world of adult Kickball. If you are squeamish, you might not want to look at this picture... Go »

4-VIII-2006 or Dogs and Ponies and VP's, Oh, $h!t!

Heh. Today, the new VP of Agricultural Research or whatever is touring our facility, so ain't squat gonna get done. I had to spend most of the day yesterday cleaning up and making the lab basically look like no one does anything. Go »

6-X-2006 or It's a holiday! I'm at work!

It is a little known fact that most of the University of Florida system shuts down on the Friday of Homecoming weekend. Unless you are deemed an essential employee, you would be sitting at home right now, possibly with an adult beverage in hand, relaxing. Or, you might be at the Gator Growl, which is some kind of pep rally or something, to get you psyched up for the big game, against LSU of all teams! Go »

20-I-2009 or Aaron misses the point?

Hmm... I thought the historic part had already gone past, but apparently, this is an historic day. I didn't know that swearing in was historic. Go »

3-VIII-2007 or Kickball Follies

I think there might be a few pictures of me from the after-kickball party. If so, I'll give a handy link (since I don't know how to post them here...), in case anyone wants to see what drunk people who play kickball look like! Go »

8-II-2010 or *sigh*

Short one today. Looking at my GOO record, I found that the first GOO I ever guessed correctly was Ray Charles. That is also the first GOO that Russ Wilhelm guessed correctly, or at least that's what I am led to believe by looking at the GOO. Go »
