We moved offices and the director level people now get their own offices (fuck you open offices).

This is my new office on day 1. I need to personalize it. The white walls and fluorescent lighting make me think a black leather couch would seem appropriate, but unfortunately it won’t fit.

Any of you want to play interior decorator?

Can you wallpaper it?  Peel & stick vinyl is pretty easy to put up or take down and is large enough to feel immersive.

I got a give Texas suburban highs schools credit.   Specifically in dfw. It is hard to find high schools anywhere in the country with college level athletic facilities, restaurants and extracurricular programs.  Also school pride.  Out here, nobody cares about sports at least not on yalls level.

There should be no speed swimming competition in the Olympics other than the freestyle, because the point is to determine who can swim the fastest.  It also eliminates a lot of the redundant medal stacking.

Swimming is what you do to avoid drowning. "Staying alive" is a worthy Olympic sport, but they should release some gators in the pool to up the difficulty

200m sprint medley: you have to run 50m normally, 50m backwards, 50m sideways, and 50m with arms tied behind your back. 

We've already got precedent for the 'speed walking' events:

We need some new Olympics. I'm thinking maybe Medical Olympics. I'm tired of people running fast, throwing shit, and all this shit. I want to see who can perform an appendectomy the fastest, or diagnose an illness correctly from a set of unusual symptoms.

Not what you’re thinking, but that reminds me of one of my favorite short stories:

Profession by Isaac Asimov

The world needs to ban advertisements in any medium for any drug. Legal, illegal... don't care.

Stick those ads  up your possibly commonly potentially bleeding colon, along with your side effects of stuffy nose, hair loss, difficulty breathing, vertigo, blindness, heart attack, stroke and sudden death.

Andor says hello. 

Too young to have watched the original SW movies in theater, so missing all the cultural and time context... but apples vs oranges, Andor the series is better than any SW movie/product.

Driving through Pasadena on my way back to Houston from Baytown. It does actually smell awful here like the jokes would imply. Who knew. 

Next time, you'll know better. Windows closed, fan full on. Coupla pinetree smellum sticks might help, too.

Was reading about this sculpture of the 2000 year old chinese terracotta army where the detailed musculature proved one of the earliest 'understanding' of anatomy.  you read similar things in art history where the perspective-correct paintings of the renaissance, compared to flat crude paintings of medieval period, proves the sudden understanding of geometry and such. 

That strikes us as weird, no? 2000, 3000, 4000 years ago, we all understand anatomic and geometric realism... because it literally is there in real life observable with our own eyes. Maybe you didnt make sculptures or paintings that reflected that because you didnt have the time, skill, or that style of work  wasnt in demand or in fashion.  But its not possible that an adult at that time can look at a Venus of Willendorf type sculpture and think 'this truly mimic the human body in an anatomical sense'.  Obviously not.

I had a vendor stop by the office this afternoon to follow up on some things we have been working on. He said he had just left the home office and said he met with the new owner. I told him I knew our boss was looking at selling the company, and I knew who he wanted to sell it to but no one had given a date. No one bothered to tell us that they had inked the deal earlier today. Still haven't.

Flipping through channels and come across a movie called Piranha 3DD... too funny. 

Brief partial synopsis from Wikipedia:

Maddy, a marine biology student, returns home for the summer to the water park she co-owns and is annoyed to find that the other owner, her stepfather Chet, plans to add an adult-themed section to the water park that allows nudity. Later that night, Maddy's friend Shelby and her boyfriend Josh go skinny-dipping in the lake, where a piranha fry enters Shelby's vagina. Their friends Ashley and Travis begin to have sex in their van, but Ashley accidentally releases the parking brake, causing the van to roll into the lake. Handcuffed to the van during foreplay and unable to escape, Travis is devoured by piranhas while Ashley, on the roof, calls for help. No one is around to rescue her. The van sinks into the lake and the piranhas eat her.

Maddy consoles Shelby about their friends, and then a school of piranhas attacks them. They manage to kill one, and Maddy, Kyle, and Barry[clarification needed] take it to marine expert Carl Goodman to examine. He informs them that the piranhas may be moving between lakes and could evolve to travel over land. The trio returns to the lake, where they establish that the piranhas cannot enter the pipes connecting the lake and the water park. While Shelby and Josh are having sex, the piranha in Shelby's vagina bites Josh's penis, forcing him to chop it off. Both are hospitalized but survive. Kyle is revealed to be corrupt and taking bribes from Chet, who is pumping water from an underground river into the water park. Chet orders Kyle to keep Maddy from finding out about his plans.

Holy shit this sounds like the greatest movie ever made.

The general accumulation of stuff that leads to nearly everyone parking in their driveway or along the street.

Growing up I don't recall my parents, my friend's parents or anyone in our neighborhood who permanently parked in the driveway.

In our neighborhood, we are in the tiny minority of people who use the garage for our cars.

Same here. Have had people look at me funny when it comes up. 
 

Well, that’s what happens when you don’t buy a house with any storage.

The plot and cast seems excellent, but the name lacks incisiveness.

I'm leaning toward Fryed Vagina, but there could be wokeness problems, so maybe Fryed Organs? Naaah... I'm stumped (or would be on the wrong part of the set)  - y'all can do better, I know.
