I had to chase off some kids last night. I closed the window, I put in earplugs, and still they woke me up hooting and hollering. And this was at 12:30AM! As I was out there talking to one group, another a newer black Volvo station wagon pulled up. I told them I was writing down their license plate as well, and the kid started yelling at me. “Hey Mr. Asian man! I have a tight asshole! I have a tight asshole! I have a tight asshole!”

I mean, really, to me he was just a rich kid who happened to be African-American, but doesn’t he know that people get SHOT for DWB in Portland? Maybe not so much recently, but our police department has some unfortunate incidents in their past. He might think twice about drawing attention to himself like that.

Still I feel better because my golf swing was better at the driving range. Still not perfect, but a lot more of them were going straight. Thank goodness! I don’t care if it doesn’t go far, just as long as I can find the ball!

I’ve been having a little trouble sleeping lately. Why, I don’t know. Possibly the weather, possibly my poor diet, possibly the caffeine I shouldn’t drink too late in the afternoon. I dunno. In any case, I haven’t been helping myself much either. Yesterday I was scanning my dad’s ice cream cone cut-out and it takes forever with the Frankenstein setup I have. My brand new MacBook Pro is running a very new copy of Mac OS X and my scanner is probably 10 years old. So, right now, I have to run Windows on the Mac to get the scanner to work. Then the blogging software I have is acting up I often have to start up several different browsers to upload pictures. Sheesh.

And tonight my sister told me her blog looked funny. It took me a long time to get it looking OK in Firefox and Safari and it still looks funny in Internet Explorer. Well phooey, I’m going to bed. Tomorrow I have to go to work and play my least favorite game of making web pages look pretty. Yay.
