For all you nerdy programmer folk out there, I thought I'd pass a long this link. I love C++ programming (if I were to ever meet a woman who was cute and knew how to code I think I'd have to marry her) and I am a huge fan of the STL. So a library that provides STL style templates for manipulating ODBC databases has to be a good thing.
What has your government done for your breasts lately?
This shirt was probably a bad idea and the average person would think it hideous. Strangely enough, I want it and may buy it if it sticks around long enough. I am drawn to the extravagance of red velvet.

How do these weight loss companies persuade people to pose for before and after pictures? Maybe there is money involved. Notice that while the improvement is usually dramatic, it usually isn't of extremely obese individuals. My question is this, if you are that out of shape, why would you even own a bikini?
New Year's Eve and early morning New Years Day was interesting. I met a large number of folks from Louisana in town for the Louisana State Univeristy versus University of Texas game in the Cotton Bowl. We were subjected to semi-hourly chants of "LSU, LSU!" and LSU fans/students in purple and gold clothes, with LSU stickers on their cheeks. One guy I spoke to as I stood in line waiting to get in was obviously already drunk. He spoke of trying hard to meet women on New Year's Eve and giving "210 percent." He also told the occasional passing woman that he wanted to see her "nekkid". Charming. But I was equally as charming - I implored strange women to kiss me at midnight, and I was sober. You see I just wanted the complete "New Years" experience. Next year I am going to Times Square.

Working with Ed again today. After shopping on the weekend, I have to earn back the money I spent on the weekend. For the first time this weekend, I saw people standing in the store display pretending to be mannequins.
