And another Halloween has passed. Next holiday is Thanksgiving but you'd never know it by all the Christmas decorations out already. I even saw a countdown of 50-some days till Christmas! I enjoy November - I love the weather (cool but not cold), the prime of the football season, the 4 day holiday, the lack of it not being end of quarter at work, and the early shopping specials around the malls.
I am anxiously awaiting daylight savings this weekend.... this whole sun coming up at 8am thing is annoying. I know that it will set at 5pm now, but that's the trade off. Those of us who try to get up in the morning could use the sun earlier! Plus we get an extra hour of sleep on Saturday night!
Speaking of Halloween - didn't see too many people dressed up yesterday. Some people dress up as an extreme nerd, but it's honestly not as far off from their daily attire. The one that got me laughing was of course The Pat who went as Dwight from The Office:
And to continue adding to any boredom you have today, check out the following links:
Bunch of Mario pictures from people with a sense of creativity!
Halloween Masks... and not the cheapies you pick up at Wal-Mart!! I personally like the Pennywise one!
Interesting art made with Oranges.... where do you get green oranges?
And that's a wrap.... see ya tomorrow! GO BREWS BROTHERS!!!
Haiku of the Day
My Bowling Team sucks!
No longer last, but not far...
Struggling as of late!!
Entertainment of the Day - So probably the highlight of today's blog.... I watched Reign Over Me last night. Adam Sandler (in a serious role) plays a man who lost his wife and three daughters in one of the 9/11 flights. It's years later and his life is not the same since he has blocked out a large part of his life that reminds him of his lost loved ones. He runs into his old college roommate (Don Cheadle) who has a plain boring life as a dentist. Together they reconnect and find help along the path of recovery. It's an amazing movie that built the emotion up over about 80 minutes of the movie. Then it just unloads in large quantities.... beware. It's well done and very emotional due to how I still am amazed at what happened on 9/11.
Weblink of the Day - Here's a weird web trick. Go to google images and do a search on anything (my link does a search on Rochester, MN). Once you get the results, cut and paste the following into the address link and hit enter...
javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI= document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i<DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5; DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval('A()',5 ); void(0)
You'll see some dancing images. Neat little javascript! Enjoy!!!

Then if you keep hitting the enter key, the images spin faster and faster and eventually they will start slowing down again. Makes you dizzy watching it. ..................Dad
I think the green ones are immature oranges. In some countries even the mature oranges are green. Should they be called greens then? Deep thoughts...
Don't do the picture thing drunk- you'll fall out of your chair like I did. It's hard to pull yourself up too since the chair has wheels & wants to slide. Somebody please help me.........
