Confessions of a Sticknaphobe

...or random thoughts from a Rat Fink...

1. Why is it that every time you need some super glue, that you have to go buy a new tube? If you have one in storage, it's always dried shut.

2. How come when I think about using Super Glue and having an itch in my eye and scratch it and then get glue in it ... that I get the Heebie Jeebies? Just thinking about it gives me the Willies.

3. I worked until 3am this morning. Still have more than a full day's worth of work to do, though the deadline looms ahead. Looks like tonight might be another all-nighter and Saturday another long one.

4. When I woke up around 8:30 this morning, I had a good idea for a layout that I had thought about the night before. Where does that come from? Is this a "God-thing?" Or is it a "God-thing" of another kind -- like a gift that He instilled in our brains, as instinct? It's pretty amazing to have creative ideas come during sleep / dreams.

5. I saw a local farmer/businessman that I know (and have tried to work with)... He had a pile of railroad ties next to his gate with a large banner, advertising them for sale. Just last week the crews were replacing these ties, ever so slowly yet efficiently one at a time. How much you wanna bet that this guy just grabbed some of the ties left over from this project and is now selling them? If that's so, that's pretty lame, huh? I wonder if he'll get caught. Or maybe he bought them from the crew -- unwanted materials discarded.

6. Monday is a great concert in Austin -- Underoath with Maylene & The Sons of Disaster. I can't wait to see Maylene especially... I wonder if Dallas gets on stage and sings with Underoath each night? hmmm...

7. David Crowder retro-fitted and re-wired a Guitar Hero flying-V unit with a sample trigger device to play some of the new sounds they recorded on Remedy.
