Ben Dover

I'm writing in an awkward position, and it's making my back sore. I'm not smart enough to come up with a new posture, so this might be a short post.
I'm hungry. My phone is eligible for an upgrade today. I think I'll go with the Bionic, but I'm not set on it. I'll probably screw around with several in the store.
I'm really just writing this to burn time while I wait for Anna to get off work.
I just read that DeLorean is back and attempting to make an all electric car. This is exactly what electric car technology needs to get off the ground, gull-wing doors.
People who say "pun not intended" are lying. If you really don't intend the pun then change your wording.
As I'm writing this, Anna's mother is watching a show called "Bad Dog." The premise is simple. People send in home videos of their misbehaving pets. My reaction to this show is the same as my reaction to the nanny-to-the-rescue shows. There is one common denominator in all these families with problem children and problem pets. They don't beat them. Seriously. Come out swinging, and your problem is solved.
Someone feed me.
I knew what I was going to write next, but I lost it, and it's driving me bonkers.
We found out a couple months ago that a friend of ours is pregnant (no, you don't know her). This is a bad thing and not for the reason you think. She is indeed married. But she is the least motherly person I have ever met. And she's a democrat. This baby is doomed from the start.
Pugs make me want to vomit.
I have a new laptop. I like it a lot. There is only one thing that bothers me. I keep accidentally tapping the scroll-pad while I type causing the cursor to jump all over the page to wherever the pointer was at the time. The scroll-pad does have a handy off-switch, but when I'm writing while surfing the internet (like now), I don't like having to turn it on and off all time to view other pages.
Not that long ago, I read about a study on the correlation between IQ and people's web browsers of choice. The researchers found that those who use Internet Explorer tend to have below average intelligence, and those who use Firefox or Chrome have above average intelligence (people who use Safari aren't actually people at all but mindless drones). When I read this, I smirked because at the time I used Chrome. But since I've gotten my new computer, I've been using IE9. I like it. It's almost exactly like using Chrome except it doesn't automatically spell check everything I type. Now for the caveat on that IQ study. People who used the newer versions of IE were actually as intelligent as those who used Firefox and Chrome. People who used older versions of IE (like IE5 or 6) were idiots. I was just astounded that there were enough people still using versions of IE that old to skew the research that much.
Anna just got home. I'm going to go put clothes on so I can go get a phone.

Now rocking:
Band-- Oh, Sleeper
Album-- "Children of Fire"
Genre-- metalcore
