• Just walked up 8 flights of stairs. Holy crap, I'm out of shape. #fb #
• The jury is out still, but GMail's 'Priority Inbox' isn't wow-ing me at this point. I could live w/o it. Maybe I don't get enough email. #
• Tonight, for some reason, I'm feeling especially envious of other people's normal lives. #fb #
• For the last time, people, come and cum are NOT interchangeable! They mean TWO separate things! Argh! #

Hey, peeps, I wanted to take a second and apologize for that last post. I had no idea it would be that long. See, I use a plugin called Twitter Tools. When I publish a post, it pushes out a tweet to my Twitter account so people there can see that a new post is up.

It also has a feature to push a post daily of my tweets. I tried it last year and was kind of ‘meh’ about the whole thing. Yesterday, I decided to try it again and it apparently remembered where it had left off and pushed a post with every tweet since last September. Sorry. Going forward, they’ll be much smaller posts each night around midnight and even then, only if I tweeted that day (which is 50/50 these days).

• RT @CobraCommander If I had been invited to address your children today, all your so-called "schools" would be rubble by morning. #
• Mash-up we need: Nintendo 'Duck Hunt' and Microsoft Windows, so I can shoot cClippy or that stupid search dog when they come onscreen. #
• I just deleted a tweet b/c of a spelling error and I don't want it on my blog later looking all stupid. Wow, I'm anal. #
• The floor under my desk at work is disgusting. I think I'd rather eat off a subway platform. Ugh. #
• I just saw a functioning Fiero. Didn't those all burn up years ago? #
• 'More To Love': man-whore breaks down self-esteem of normal, real women while they vie for his love (and spare tire). Stay classy, Fox. #fb #
• Outkast's 'B.O.B.' is so friggin' awesome I wanna punch myself in the face. #
• Sometimes, I wish there really was a superhero named White-Hating Coon that we could send after Pastor Anderson. (Hey @ThatKevinSmith ) #
• That last tweet was a 'Chasing Amy' reference, in case you were unaware. http://bit.ly/xKMwM #
• RT @robkroese: My parents were so conservative that our Thanksgiving turkey had no left wing. #
• Do I want a netbook bag called the 'Social Networker'? Sounds like of douchebaggy to me. #
• It's smells like hypocrisy in here! Awesome! http://11nb.sl.pt/ (Thanks, @dwward!) #
• RT @Dirk2112 @CongJoeWilson Putz.. #
• Oops, I typed Booby Jindal in last tweet instead of Bobby. Freudian slip? #

Fun fact: in the early 90s, I ate a large amount of Cheerios to get a complete set of Beverly Hills, 90210 trading cards. And before you ask, yes, I’m sure I’m heterosexual. My barracks roommate and I stuck some stuff in the ceiling of our dorm room, including that set of cards. So, somewhere on Aviano AB, there is a full set of 90210 cards in the barracks ceiling of a room on the third floor. (Bear in mind it was the 90s, so there isn’t anything really cool up there like an unlocked phone or money or pictures of Jenny McCarthy when she wasn’t a whackjob.)

Steak’s birthday is coming up soon and while I’m not getting him an Xbox 360 (he’s three), I do want to get him something nice. The key is to make sure the approximate value is equal to The Oldest’s birthday back in April. That gives you a ballpark figure to work with.

So, what do you get a soon-to-be four-year-old these days?

No, seriously, what do you get him? I need some suggestions people. Get on it in the comments. Help a brother out. He likes Spider-Man a lot. And anything Star Wars-related.

You know what? The more I think about, the more he needs a bike.

I’ll take your suggestions regardless. Thanks.
