So I just got another robo call. Surprising, what with tomorrow being Election Day and all, it's the only one I received tonight. Maybe everyone else used up their calling card minutes before t0 . . .
We live to see another day. Hooray! http://www.physorg.com/news140950348.html0 . . .
My cousin-in-law (correct term?) is an IT recruiter and is looking for someone with the skills below. I'm clueless to what half these acronyms are but maybe someone out there on e:strip does. 0 . . .
So this started out as a joke over lunch, but I'm going to give it a try -- if only for the social experiment part of it. This is assuming I'm not breaking the TOS at Craig's List. 0 . . .
Just sayin'. http://www.newsweek.com/id/1580750 . . .
Testing e:strip's Google prowess... SARAH PALIN IS MCCAIN'S VP CANDIDATE FOR 2008. That is change I can believe in, lol.0 . . .
Well, around. Just haven't been in the blogging mood lately I guess. So what's up with Senor Deadly++? Not much I guess, which is probably why I haven't been blogging. And yeah 0 . . .
So I'm running late to our Web Team meeting today and as I walk past this woman in the hall, she says "Del?" I turn around and see this face I so barely recognize. My first thought 0 . . .
So instead of taking Sedrick Ellis like all the mock drafts have the Bengals taking, I figured I'd shake it up and take Devin Thomas at #9, the 6'4"(?) WR out of Michigan St whom most m0 . . .
Hey all, long time no see. Tomorrow night I'm participating in a mock draft at the Roadhouse Grill near the McKinley Mall (I think). Participants got to choose what team they wanted to draf0 . . .
I got this from 2 people over the past 2 days. I know "FREE 411" is the real deal but some of this stuff just reeks of incorrectitude. I'll probably hit Snopes later to see what I can0 . . .
The Bills/Fins game is in Toronto. Nothing is sacred. 5 years and counting until the move. Laugh if you want, but my heart breaks over the idea of my kids growing up without the Bills in Buff0 . . .
April 3, 2008. First and foremost: for those unaware, I'm kind of a big Star Wars nerd. Not as much as I used to be when the prequels were in full swing, but still definitely more than is pro0 . . .
After almost six months e:mrdeadlier,41685 I am now officially sterile. I thought it would be kind of sad or emasculating but it is in fact quite the opposite. The word "liberating" come0 . . .
So even though I pigged out over the Easter weekend and have been raiding my kids' baskets daily ever since (aka "applying the Daddy tax"), I'm still somehow holding steady at 169.0 . . .
So it looks like e:enknot, Cathy (e:webnovice) and I will be heading to Chicago in June for a conference http://www.webcontent2008.com. It's more for Cathy since she heads up the content for our0 . . .
Not as much as some people I know, but definitely more than most people I know. We're doing a study in church on the book of James (not not you, e:james) and one of the main themes is that of 0 . . .
Sorry... that's all I got.0 . . .
Landing under sniper fire, no greeting ceremony... puh-lease. 8BfNqhV5hg4 I love the part when the aides come in towards the end and start spinning.0 . . .
I have been SO bad the past 7 days that I'm granting myself an amnesty week. I will weigh myself next Tuesday and continue the tradition. Shut up. It's my blog and I can do what I want.0 . . .
Chrissy had to run out Friday directly after I came home from work but before she left, in front of Delaney she says "We got you a special surprise for Easter, but you have to wait. Delaney is go0 . . .
I categorized this as "work" but it's not Roz-related... I put in a bid on a BIG job last week and am waiting for their decision. I was supposed to know by this past Wednesday but t0 . . .
On a whim, I shaved off my beard today. Talk about instantaneous regret. I look in the mirror now and feel so unbalanced...0 . . .

Sometimes you just need to get something off your chest but don't necessarily want to share it with all the internets that are out there. I appreciate the ability to do that with e:strip.0 . . .
Yeah, sometimes it can get dramatic. My biggest frustration is two-fold: 1) different segments within our department are so, well, segmented that the right hand often has no clue what the left hand0 . . .
What a crazy game. The Sabres were listless for the first 2 periods against the worst team in their conference only to pour on 6 goals in the third period and win it 7-4. They've scored 20 go0 . . .
So tonight my co-worker invited me to another Sabres game. This time it was a different vendor bankrolling the operation -- these seats were in a suite. A suite with food. A suite with a TRUCKLOAD 0 . . .
Current weight: 169 Lost in past week: 1 Lost since Jan 8: 9 I would have lost more than just one pound if this weekend hadn't included a birthday party, followed by St. Patrick's Day0 . . .
So our youngest decided to wake up and stroll into our room an hour and a half ago. She then followed that up with an hour-long on again/off again shouting and screaming fest after I put her back in h0 . . .
Time flies. Today marks the seven-year anniversary of me working here at the Roz. I remember getting laid off from ClientLogic about a month earlier (on Valentine's Day, no less) and actually0 . . .

This week's weight: 173 I've really become serious about this since last Friday. I don't know what did it, but the OCD finally kicked in! I know each week it's been either 170 . . .
Tonight we went out to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday. We were going to go to Red Lobster on Maple but it was packed (we should have known better, it always is on Saturday nights). So instead0 . . .
Tonight the wife and I went to see Savion Glover at the UB Center for the Arts. Who is Savion Glover, you may ask? Just one of, if not the, best tap dancer alive. Savion_Glover 0208/SavionGlove0 . . .
Well sorta. Once this is all over I'll be spending about $40/month less than I do currently. Diapers are crazy expensive. We started potty training our youngest yesterday now that she's 0 . . .

So next week is the season finale? What the flip! It just started. Well, here's hoping that it's done well enough in the ratings to warrant a return. I love this show. I mean, after vi0 . . .
On two different occasions earlier this week I felt bad for our youngest and laid down next to her at bedtime. She's had a nasty cough, just like her dad, for the past two weeks. It only shows 0 . . .
As anyone who has read my various blogs over the past several years knows, I've become more and more of an Idol addict as each season passes. I now know why. It fills the immediate void I fee0 . . .
It is still Tuesday so that still makes only one late post I've had thus far (I think). Today's fiasco: 174. I really need to get my act together with this. This isn't exactly th0 . . .

Last week I went to Philadelphia for a one-day workshop held by a vendor we use here at work. Flew out Tuesday morning, flew home Wednesday night. Actually, it was in Malvern which is about 25 min0 . . .
..and typically they're the "send this to five friends in the next five minutes and you'll be blessed" variety. But this one really moved me and I wanted to share it. I'm0 . . .
So it looks like another one of my photos (e:mrdeadlier,42530) was harvested by Schmap. This time it's going to the Niagara Falls travel guide. Well it's short-listed at least. 0208/8450 . . .

When you're in the Philadelphia airport's "A" terminal and you see the Japanese sushi place... Keep walking. I am not exaggerating: this meal was worse than what they offer in t0 . . .
According to CNN, Paul didn't even get 1 vote in West Virginia. As a Ron Paul fanboy, even I find humor in that, lol.0 . . .
So I'm in downtown Philadelphia, leaving Jim's Subs on 4th and South which supposedly has the best Philly Cheesesteak around (at least according to multiple interweb sources) and since it� . . .

I voted for Ron Paul this morning right before heading to the airport for my one-day trip to Philadelphia (more on that in a later post). Now I can end my four month tenure as a registered Repbulic0 . . .
Apparently I'm not above going to Boston.com and trolling their Patriots message boards with "nyah nyah" postings all over the place. Too bad, I thought I was better than that. Oh wel0 . . .

Took my brother to go see it tonight. Still awesome. You all still need to go see it if you haven't yet. Do yourself a favor and go in as ignorant about it as pssoible. EDIT: ...aaaand 0 . . .
Sure, e:paul, the sushi is sub-par, but you can eat as much of that sub-par sushi as you want! I guess it's the classic quality vs. quantity trade-off. And it's not SO bad that the trade0 . . .

I was pretty lax in my calorie counting yesterday and then ended up in the middle of a face-feeding bender this afternoon. Just sticking at 174 is going to be an accomplishment this week.0 . . .

They suck. Who, you ask? The Sabres for not ponying up the cash to keep at least one of their two captains, and the players for bowing down to the almighty dollar. It still amazes me that athletes 0 . . .
Pixar does it again... Ratatouille looked like they were running out of ideas when I first saw the trailer last year, but apparently I was wrong. I should have known better; they are experts when0 . . .
I don't know if anyone's seen this, or if it's already been posted up on someone else's journal here but take a look at this woman who totally hosed herself by trying to buy up all0 . . .
In response to e:leetee,39744's post. One of e:enknot 's and my favorite pictures ever... 0607/Treachery0621.jpg0 . . .
In a few weeks I'm going to Seattle to attend a conference for work. I'm leaving a day earlier than I normally would so I can take in some sights since this is probably the only time IƆ . . .
Last night I took Delaney to Putt Putt for the first time. Or whatever they're calling it these days... "Adventure Island" or something I think. Yeah, she's definitely not read0 . . .
I enjoyed the episode although I think they're really stretching out the Mer/Der relationship drama to the point where it's kind of ridiculous. I knows she's "dark and twisty"0 . . .
That was by far the coolest performance on Idol ever. Freaking ever. I really hope that dude wins; if not, he's got to be assured of some sort of record deal or something after tonight's s0 . . .
Ugh, I am just sick about this. The Asus M6BNE laptop we just purchased last month died on us this weekend. It powers up, then powers back off immediately. Then powers back up again, but does nothing 0 . . .
So am I the only one who got goosebumps watching the Goo Goo Dolls montage they played right before last night's Sabres game?0 . . .
When I rolled out of bed this morning I didn't think I'd end up learning there's a new Derek Webb Derek_Webb CD coming out May 1st... and that by pre-ordering it today I'd be able 0 . . .
I've been running a weight loss pool here at work. Well, today is Judgment Day (actually there is an unanticipated grace period until next Friday due to me breaking the original scale, but that� . . .
Chris Sligh goes home and Sanjaya isn't even in the bottom three. What a world, what a world.0 . . .
Well, I finished my first Star Wars read of 2007: The Courtship of Princess Leia. Let's hear it for overly descriptive book titles. It's actually a pretty fitting title based on the book . . .
...but I'm a big fan of getting into the car after the sun's been beating down on it and leaving the windows up, just enjoying the swelter. Even in the middle of the summer, but especially n0 . . .
Has anyone else seen the new themes and tabbing options that Google pushed out this week for their "Customized Home" pages? I'm using the cute one with everyone at the bus stop. It actu0 . . .
Yeah, whether it makes me a tool or not I don't know, but I'll admit it: I'm a big Adam Sandler fan. You can't do much better than Waterboy. Or Mr. Deeds. Or 50 First Dates. Or The0 . . .
I don't remember the US Postal Service ever doing any type of cross-promotions when I was growing up. Now it seems like they're constantly pursuing new revenue streams through the marketing 0 . . .
Seriously, that dude has gots ta go. He's terrible. Terrible. If it weren't for all the tweens he's probably got on his side voting for him, he never would have even made it to the fina0 . . .
I think I might start cross-posting some (all?) of my blog posts from Reid.cx over here at the Strip. Why not spend the extra 3 minutes of effort. Or maybe I'll use e:strip and write something 0 . . .
I'm at the top of the list!0 . . .
Whenever I see my userpic on the right-hand side of the screen I feel so inadequate because of the "< 10 blogs" stamp. ::sigh::0 . . .
