Once in a while I do what I call a "sock drawer" post, where I post a bunch of random jokes and musings that I haven't figured out how to stretch into a full post. Lately I haven't had a lot of time to write blog posts, as I've been working on my plumbing and my novel. So I decided to... what? Yes, plumbing and a novel. You have a problem with that? Ok, so anyway, I decided to do a post that was... No, I'm building a house. Well, an addition, actually, but it's bigger than the rest of the house, so... About 110 pages. Thanks. What? Well, the house, of course, but she's very understanding. And I've let her read the first 80 pages and she keeps bugging me to tell her what happens next, so... No, what's next in the novel. I think. Electrical. Then the roof, doors and windows, siding... Yes, a LOT of work. Pardon? Hmmm, probably the house. Well, I'm aiming for early spring, but who knows? Geez, I have no idea. I think I'm about halfway done, but I'm going to have to do a lot of editing and rewriting. And then there's the matter of trying to find a publisher... Well, it's actually my second book. You can order the first one here. Thanks, I'm very proud of it. Someone even said it was "the funniest book you will read this year." What? Yes, extremely expensive. I have enough money to finish the house, I think, but after that... well, if the novel sells really well... What, it's not that funny. Hey, shut up. Some people do make a living writing books, you know. Stop laughing. I'm serious. Ok, that's it. See if you get an autographed copy.
Where was I? Oh yeah, I decided to do a post of some random pics that I've been trying to work into a post for a while. So I present to you the first ever Sock Drawer Picture Edition.
First, don't you love the Windows auto-update feature that pops up every time another hacker finds a hole that Bill Gates forgot to plug up because he was too busy making money-castles and money-forts and money angels? Wouldn't it be great if someone applied that concept to elected officials?

Lately there have been some rumors about a Spice Girls reunion tour. Whatever your feelings about that possibility, I think we can all agree that this is definitely one of the signs of the apocalypse.

Are you tired of second rate actors and first rate dorks like Tom Cruise being interviewed on Inside the Actor's Studio? How about a REAL star for a change? An actor with some versatility. Maybe someone who can literally transform from one character to another? I present to you, Starscream on Inside the Actor's Studio:

And finally, thanks to Jeff and Microsoft's Live Search, I can now offer you an aerial view of the homestead. This one isn't a joke; this really is where I live. Click to enlarge the pic.

And if you think that looks like a big place, this is our full property. The red box is the area pictured in the photo above. The purple box is our entire lot. Most of it is orchard, as you can see.

Well, I feel better now that I've cleared out the sock drawer. I'll be back with something or other tomorrow, and I'll post the caption contest results on Friday.
Diesel out.
