Woke up feeling pretty not-right this morning. Day two or three of this, and I think I must’ve pinched something in the neck. So I figured I’d go back to sleep to see if that might help relax things. The plan was to do that and then do my work from home today.
I only just now got up. I had finally gotten back to sleep but it was weird dreams.
I dreamt Peter Sellers and I were holed up in dilapidated motel trying to hide from post-apocalyptic gangs and militias, when suddenly Chuck E. Cheese shows up outside. Sellers went running out there and was screaming that he wanted a picture with Chuck E. Cheese. So I ran out there, was getting situated while scanning the area for raiders and militias, and then it got amazingly weird. I raised my Nikon to take the shot… but the weird part is that I have a Canon.
Dreams are strange. What in hell would make a brain substitute a different make of camera?

Islamists? Really? My first thought was “those damn Swedes are up to no good again!”
Suici… Homicide Bomber Hits Biggest Russian Airport.
Thing about wacked-out crazies is they leave behind so much more collateral damage than just the victims. The families and friends are walking wounded, too.
If he had 15lbs of TNT, lets just be thankful he didn’t have 15lbs of RDX or PETN… or 30lbs of the stuff. I suppose this is the whole point, but these terrorists are scary.
I wish we’d start getting more serious about stopping the terrorists rather than stopping little old ladies and groping them. (Thanks again, TSA for not really making a difference!)

h/t to mrmacs for this link to an FEL the Navy is working on. Say whatever you will about the Navy (I have many great things to say about them, myself) but they sure do have some of the best funding around for new technology.

Now… why am I having such a hard time believing this?
Pot meets pop: Local entrepreneur plans to market line of smartly branded medical-marijuana soft drink
“I don’t do drugs,” said the Soquel-based commercial artist. “Never have. I never drank, never smoked. I’m a clean-living guy. I’ve had two beers in my whole life, and I remember them both too. No marijuana, I’ve never smoked a cigarette. I take an aspirin when I get a headache. That’s it.”
Hmmm. Perhaps it really is true that you can’t judge a book by it’s cover. Well, you go ahead and judge.
If the only weird part to that dream was the cameras, you have….issues…
Pot flavored sodas do NOT sound appetizing. I’m sure the taste will be masked in some way, but the thought makes my stomach roil.
As to the bomber in the Russian airport… you bet your ass Putin will stop at nothing to get them. Got to give him that.
What? Peter Sellers means I have issues?
He’s only one of the greatest to grace the big screen ever…
Re: Putin. I have more respect for him than I do of our own president as far as being a leader with a spine. Obama talks big but he’s absolutely useless in any kind of leadership capacity more taxing than Cub Scouts.
The whole bowing to other leaders is just the biggest wanker move I’ve seen in my life.
No, not Sellers. Chuck E. Cheese. THAT indicates issues.
Just had a boy who wanted his birthday party there. The girl wants one there soon, too.
CEC’s is so traumatic that it really shouldn’t be a surprise that he’d be there in an apocalyptic wasteland. Peter Sellers was probably there as comic relief. The Nikon… no idea. That’s why it was strange.
