Ugly Gun Sunday

Debauchery On The Horizon 2009

Also known as ABATE of Iowa Freedom Rally 2009.

Beginning this next Thursday.

I hereby swear I will spare no expense in cheap beads to bring you, my three readers, the finest in overweight Midwest mammary glands and fat naked men on motorcycles.

Make of that what you will.

I'm coming off of three months of non-stop accelerated classes, heart procedures, and inconvenient Guard drills. I aim to get Fucked Up and take a lot of pictures of people in worse shape than me. Enjoy.

Ugly Gun Sunday

Tool Time meets shadetree gunsmith.

Hell, I'd shoot it though, once I was sure it wouldn't blow up.

Japanese Zombies

I'd never heard of this, but it's Saturday night, and I'm tired of studying. Tokyo Zombie: So far, what we have is essentially a Japanese version of Shaun of the Dead. But with Japanese 'fros, emasculation by zombie, and that weird Japanese schoolgirl fetish thing going on. Overall, 4 out of 5 stars for a zombie film in the horror/humor genre.

Islamic Theocracy and Free Speech

A young woman shot in the high center of her chest during the June 20th protests. In a minute, one can see someone who should have had a long life ahead of her go from awareness of the camera operater to shock to death. For being in a public area during protests. That's how free speech works in Iran. Wrong place, wrong time, wrong government.

I personally think if the current government is overthrown, Iran will end up with an anti-American, anti-Israeli, anti-West, anti-everything-not-Islamic, terror supporting state. And it will still be an improvement over what's in place now. Because at least some of the populace will have thought and acted independently for the first time. And some of them paid with their lives for doing so.

Frustration............

is dropping over a hundred dollars to get a laptop working again, only to have it crash the exact same way, twice, in less than seven minutes, the following day. Somebody will have an unhappy customer on Monday morning.

Problems found and "fixed" on Thursday: McAfee corrupted. Java corrupted. Computer stuck in self-repair loop. Computer also stuck in constant attempt to hibernate. I'm seriously considering having the tech obliterate everything on the drive and reinstall from my original discs. If that doesn't work, it will probably be time for a new computer, which sucks, given that this one is all of 5 months old.

Light Posting

'til I get whatever nasty little bug is killing my laptop eradicated.

Bah.
