February 23, 2001: [•] Poor Li’l Pooh is still sick! The poor kid gets better only to catch another cold (Deja vu). She’s still smiling though 🙂 [•] Mermaid gives us an update over the AOL verses Trillian situation. [•] What is with Russia? Of all of sudden if they don’t win an Olympic event they demand a recount and when they do win it turns out to be because of “pressure” on judges. Can you say “spoiled sports”. Sheesh. [•] Chuck Jones, the man who nearly single-handedly created all of the Warner Brothers cartoon characters, has died. [•] Wonder why the US puts up with Saudi Arabia’s harsh treatment of its citizens? Wonder no more! [•] Bored? Well, obviously you haven’t looked hard enough at last week’s link. Try right clicking on the page. [•] I doubt that totally cleared up your boredom, so why not check out uComics too? Now, you can get your daily fix of Garfield from the safety of your PC (whatever that means). BTW: Check out Captain Ribman. It’s an… ummmm… interesting (I think that’s the word I’m grasping for here) comic to say the least. [•] Things are looking good on the “My family needs more living space” front. Most likely we’ll be getting the smaller of two apartments we looked at, but it is larger than our existing one so I can deal with that. They are currently completely remodeling it so we’ll have to wait two months before we could move in, but that’s perfect since our lease has four months left anyhow. Just a little too perfect if you ask me 😉

February 25, 2001: [•] Forget al Qaeda terrorists and that Saddam Hussein guy. The world is being invaded slowly, but surely by another devious threat. Yes, I’m talking about The Wiggles. Are you not aware of The Wiggles’ power? Have you not seen the way they trace children with their devil music? NO! Blasphemy! Li’l Pooh sits in a trance in front of the TV as The Wiggles banter on about mashed bananas and magic tricks. I know you are evil Wiggles and the jig is up!
Ahoy there me hearties! [•] I’ve got a ton of documents to work on today, as well as, train a new hire. Since I’m going to be such a busy beaver today this will be all for now. Cheers!
