Ball Breakers

When someone requests for a two week lead time, that means tell that person two weeks in advance. AND that from request submission, that person has the two weeks to work on your problem/request/issue.

lead time - the period of time between the initial phase of a process and
the emergence of results, as between the planning and completed manufacture of a
product.
Also, lead-time.

Happy Birthday Bryan!

Bryan was the person who first told me about blogging.

MacLaren wanted to disqualify 3 cars from the 2007 Brazilian GP. Some of these cars finished in front of Lewis Hamilton ergo making Hamilton the F1 World Champion. How embarrassing is that if you were Hamilton? You can't win the championship in a race course so you'll get it by underhanded means instead. The biggest loser in this whole fiasco is Ron Dennis for losing both the constructors & drivers championships for MacLaren. Someone should be stepping down from MacLaren for this and I think his surname rhymes with penis.

Raikkonen Is World Champion By A Point

....Not if the stewards can help it. They're trying to cook the championship, in the most embarrassing way possible, and give it to their boy, Hamilton.

Update:

They've dropped their "investigation" on alleged infractions by BMW. The championship has been left as the race results decided... so far.

Tornado Warnings

Storms are passing over Kalamazoo. I looked outside and saw lightning once every 3-5 seconds. I was going to try to take a picture but I feel stupid trying to capture a lightning strike. Did I mention how I feel like crap?

Lunes

Nohemi and I finished the multi-weekend project of the entrance, powder room & kitchen makeover this weekend. I like how it turned out but the paint is so muted that it's muted. I like it though, I don't think it'll show up in photographs. The green kitchen, which was the loudest, was barely visible in the pictures that I posted. Maybe it's because of my mild color blindness.

I an buffering my Monday night shows on the TiVo right now. I am itching to watch the Heroes episode. I think, it's enough of a buffer. Good bye!

Another Exhausting Weekend

I woke up exhausted and aching today. Nohemi and I painted the kitchen and changed the floor. I really felt the effects of squatting while applying grout today.

Excited

I was about to explain to Nohemi, at lunch, why I was looking at stuff in the SWMRIC website when she told me to slow down. She understood everything that I said but I was super excited and was talking really fast. I didn't realize the high tempo of the slew of words that I spat at her. But it had the same effect as how one would train a puppy. The infraction occurred and was instantly pointed out. I might have a little bit more of an attention span than a puppy (not by much) but the fact that it was pointed out right away made me aware of it.

Operation Kitchen Makeover

It's still work-in-progress so more changes will happen. Here's what we've managed to do so far.

Yesterday, we had a discussion of the new fall shows. The shows mentioned were Heroes, Chuck, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Bionic Woman & reaper. I've watched all the first episodes and liked them all. I missed Chuck last night because it was on the same time as The Bing Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother. I TiVoed the CBS shows and could have watched Chuck live but we had to go for a ride to grab something to eat.

We ended up at Noodles & Co. A place that I have been avoiding after getting sick from their food a few months ago. Last night was their second chance and I am still in one piece.
