Allowing citizens to own guns creates a hostile work evironment (for criminals).

My Library(Thing)

Geoffrey Allan Plauché — Tue, 13 May 2008 02:55:00 +0000

I estimate I’ve got about 1/3 of my library cataloged now. The rest
is still boxed up due to lack of shelf space.

Check it out:

What remains uncataloged: lots of fiction, RPGs, history, political
science, philosophy and miscellaneous.

LibraryThing is cool. :o)

Looks fun. Watermelons would make expensive targets though.

Moving to Nebraska

Geoffrey Allan Plauché — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 23:55:00 +0000

My wife and I are moving to Nebraska on the 28th (arriving there on the 30th). We’ve been busy lately doing all the things necessary when moving, especially when moving out of state: packing, filling out change of address forms for all of the utilities, journal and magazine subscriptions we have, etc.

Tomorrow we’re attending a cousin’s wedding in New Orleans, then on Saturday we’ll load up the truck (with the help of some movers) and head on up to Nebraska. I’ll be driving a 16′ Budget truck and pulling our car on a trailer for 1082 miles. That will be an interesting adventure in itself. Aside from all the hassle, we’re really looking forward to making a fresh start in a new state.

I won’t have much in the way of internet access until Tuesday, the 30th, at the earliest.

And then, from August 5-10, I will be attending the Objectivist Center’s graduate student summer seminar.

Lazy US Postal Service

Geoffrey Allan Plauché — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 22:10:00 +0000

Today I saw the USPS truck making its rounds down my street. I’ve been expecting a package to be delivered soon, if not today. When I went down to my mailbox to check my mail, what did I find but a “sorry we missed you” delivery attempt notice. I didn’t hear a knock on my door and I didn’t have the tv or radio on, so I can only assume that the postal worker was too lazy to walk up the stairs to my apartment and give it to me. Either that or he/she made a very weak and perfunctory attempt at knocking.

To make matters worse, the USPS doesn’t even automatically attempt to redeliver the next day as UPS and other private services do, much less for up to three attempts like UPS. One has to contact them to request it. And since I am flying out of state for several days tomorrow, I’ll have to stop by the local post office early in the morning to pick up my package. [sarcasm] Thanks for the inconvenience, Uncle Sam. [/sarcasm]

And now for something completely different…

Which GIRL is your type?

My Results:

The Artist.

Truly unique looking. Striking features. Usually light eyes and red or brown hair. Looks to be a very interesting and creative person. (Famous people who resemble this type: Nicole Kidman, Natalie Portman, Marcia Cross, Uma Thurman, Rachel Weisz, Maggie Gyllenhaal)

***

Actually, I think my type would combine this one with the type the quiz calls The Siren, because I’d add black hair too. And medium – dark skin. Exotic looks. Such a combined type would include my wife.

***

Update: Yup, I took the quiz again with I think only one change in my answers and got The Siren.

Which GIRL is your type?

My Results:

The Siren

Hot. Exotic looking. Usually has one prominent feature. Most commonly has medium – dark skin and hair. (Famous women who resemble this type: Penelope Cruz, Salma Hayek, Eva Longoria, Eva Mendes, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry)

***

Although not listed in either, Adriana Lima in my opinion could be listed in both categories although perhaps more strongly in The Siren.
