I accidentally flooded my already flooded from rain basement when the clothes washer hose popped out. This did not make me happy.

(Train whistle blows. The Ghost Express approaches, stops)

Me: "Time for me to go! See you guys later! (Waves, climbs on board the train) "I wonder who's on board?" (Sits on a seat)

R2-D2: (Whistles and beeps)

Me: "Hello, R2-D2! How are you?"

R2-D2: (Whistles)

Me: "Good. Jack Sparrow! I see you're here, too!"

Jack Sparrow: "CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow, if you please."

Me: (Sighs) "Yes, of course, CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow. Where's your ship?"

Jack Sparrow: "Mutiny."

Me: "Again? Well, this isn't the Black Pearl, but you should like it."

Conductor: "All Aboard!"

(Train whistle blows, The Ghost Express departs, disappears)

Composing a new piano song called "Outer Rim" as a complement to an older song I did called "Galactic Halo".

My computer is happily working at a key of B.

Honestly, I can't say I am remotely interested in American Idol. The local news feels obliged to cover it excessively, though.

Five minutes just went by; it felt like just one.

I feel uncommonly well having recently recovered from a cold-like illness.

I'm off to sleep now. You can talk about stimulating things, now.

So apparently Gnomeo and Juliet has a higher score than Burton's Alice in Wonderland on Rotten Tomatoes. It's only a 4% difference, but it's enough to make me nerd rage over it.

The alternative text of the latest XKCD comic says "Wikipedia trivia: if you take any article, click on the first link in the article text not in parentheses or italics, and then repeat, you will eventually end up at 'Philosophy'."

I tried it, and it worked. I got from "Basque language" to "Philosophy" in exactly 20 clicks. I got from "Pie" to "Philosophy" in 19 clicks. From "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" to it in 19 clicks again. From "Saab 900" to it in 19 clicks again. Is it possible to get from an article to "Philosophy" in more than 20 clicks?!

You can get from Philosophy back to Philosophy in 15 clicks.
