Noah’s Ark

Guy 1 says:
Should be nice and cool this time of year, heh.

Guy 2 says:
she just got back from dubai

Guy 2 says:
i hate her

Guy 1 says:
There’s a system of man-made islands off the coast of Dubai which are made to look like a map of the world if you fly over.

Guy 1 says:
Bill Clinton owns one.

Guy 1 says:
Brad Pitt owns one.

Guy 1 says:
Isn’t the middle-east our enemy?

Guy 2 says:
yes

Guy 2 says:
and those islands initially sold for 1 million dollars

Guy 2 says:
and the only way to get to them is by air or boat

Guy 2 says:
there is also a ski park on top of a mall there

Guy 1 says:
I think the islands will all launch up into space and they’ll build a new world without us somewhere else,

Guy 2 says:
man. kinda early for spliff politics right?

Guy 1 says:
Think about it man, they shaped it like the world, put foliage and animals on each island to represent the country you bought, only the uber rich get one, Bill Clinton has one, and it’s in the middle of what is supposed to be America’s enemy territory.  That thing isn’t a vacation getaway… it’s Noah’s Ark.

Coming in late

So, my girlfriend is really feeling miserable, and is now going to QuickCare at my insistence. While she does that, I will be doing what she was doing, namely looking after her friend’s kids.

I don’t know how long it will take, but I will be back there shortly after she gets back here.

Wish me luck dealing with a very very loud (my left ear is going to go deaf quite soon) two year old and a surprisingly calm six year old (almost zen like, just sitting there staring at the wall, weird and kind of disturbing). I will need it, seriously.

Babysitting OSPF seems trivial by comparison, and actually quite appealing at the moment. WTF have I gotten myself into??

Back when I can, if I survive,
