imk2 - 01/11/07 15:07
i looooove that game!
jason - 01/11/07 08:30
Dammit MK! SLAP SLAP! The best way to get over someone is to get under someone!
kookcity2000 - 01/11/07 03:48
dang, I keep shooting my fish when that alien comes around
chico - 01/11/07 02:33
One distraction, coming right up:

:::link:::

There's also a version from PopCapGames but that one requires that you download a plug-in, which maybe you don't want to do.

Object: maintain your fishtank. Add fish, feed fish, collect coins and other treasures, and protect your fish from alien invaders.

Starts slow and boring but becomes more complex (hence, "Insaniquarium").

Hint: Buying egg pieces will eventually add special, beneficial characters to your fishtank.

a milestone
Yesterday, I reached a running milestone. I ran 10 miles without stopping. Although it took a long time, I'm super proud of myself! And the marathon I'm working for is in September, so I have lots of time to add on the miles and take away the minutes! Wooooo!!!

mike - 01/08/07 22:03
wow! That is crazy! I don't believe I've ran 10 miles in my entire life , let alone at once!
metalpeter - 01/08/07 18:30
I wish you the best of luck with making it up to 26 miles. I am on my feet a lot but my feet could never take it. I remember walking Walk America when it used to be a lot longer and my feet is what got me. I don't know if it is true or not but I have heard that a marathon can be more about the mental aspect then the running its self. I think the training for it both mentaly and physicaly will have a lot of great effects on you.
chicoschica - 01/07/07 20:09
mk - that is awesome!! i applaud your endurance - whew!

hey -i have been running for a while and am hoping to get through a half marathon this year - where do you train/run?? any good tips??
mk - 01/07/07 19:10
thanks everyone!!
ladycroft - 01/07/07 17:48
one day i will complete my triathlon, but i still think that's easier than running 26.2 miles! bleh. running always was my weakest link. i'm glad you can do it, and enjoy it. at least from one (former but not forever) athlete to another - bravo!
enknot - 01/07/07 14:18
I am amazed. I think that 10 miles it summarily unattainable. I remember hitting 2 miles and thinking that I was a superhuman... who was just about to superdie... I gotta get back on that horse again... he's a tough one...
mrmike - 01/07/07 12:50
Good for you. Be loud and proud. That is something great

the worst
There is nothing worse than the way it feels to pull apart cotton balls.

vycious - 01/05/07 19:02
forks on a chalkboard, maybe?
jenks - 01/05/07 00:14
funny, that doesn't bother me in the slightest. But digging in the sand with my hands... like really scraping and getting it under my nails... shudder. I don't know how I ever made sandcastles as a kid.
enknot - 01/04/07 23:23
whats the whosit about cottonballs ?
mk - 01/04/07 21:28
had to pull apart cotton balls once when i was little to make these santa clauses out of milk cartons. i remember having to pull apart the cotton balls to make the beard, eyebrows etc. i shudder just thinking about it. ahhhh!
joshua - 01/04/07 21:19
A question, but maybe this is just me - why would anybody pull apart cotton balls?
mk - 01/04/07 20:22
interesting theory mrmike, but i would be willing to bet that pulling apart dry cotton balls would be worse. however, i can't handle testing that theory, so let's agree to disagree.
mike - 01/04/07 20:17
Target? on my way there myself
mrmike - 01/04/07 19:30
sure, there is...wet cotton balls

and after all my excitement...
I missed out on most of the estrip festivities. Thank you to my esecret Santa for my gift card. It will be well spent! I ended up going downtown to see a friend I haven't seen in awhile. I would have put up more of a fight to stay at Linwood but one was the DD! So we ended up at Soho for the actual countdown, and then drove down to Fredonia to meet up with some people down there. I don't remember most of being at Linwood, SoHo, or the drive down to Fredonia (during which I drank classy boxed wine and also fell asleep...it's a long drive for a drunky!). But I had a pretty good night. Wish I could have been at PMT's more, as I said, but I trust it was a great time anyway!!!! Here's a couple pics from my evening. It's not from my camera though. Get this. The memory card in my digital camera was missing when i woke up in the morning. Isn't that weird? And a little creepy? And also annoying...those suckers aren't cheap! Anyway, onto photos!

nothing like open containers of alcohol in a car! :)



mk - 01/04/07 19:03
oh i definitely agree that PMT's was probably more fun and I'm sad I wasn't there for it. Can't wait for the next get together!!!
enknot - 01/04/07 18:05
as fun as that seems, the ball drop from (e:pmt) 's living room was prolly more fun... looks like you weren't lacking for smiles and cheers though.
mike - 01/03/07 12:32
so classy
lilho - 01/02/07 23:43
open alcohol in the car, i love it!
