Electro-static discharge

All last week I would walk around the house and just get the living shit zapped out of me every time I touched something. The kicker came Friday night as I was walking into the kitchen. I went to flip on the lights and as my finger came in contact with the light switch a blue arc of fire flew from it into my finger sending me into an expletive laced rant about freakin' winters in Wisconsin.

That did it. Saturday morning we went out to Home Depot and bought an 11 gallon humidifier. Cranked that thing on high for an hour then set it back so it would maintain a constant 40% humidity level in the house. I haven't been shocked since.

Friday night hockey was great again. We won once more, running our record to 8-3-2, and we haven't lost in 5 straight (4-0-1). I scored twice but had at least 9 really good looks including one where I took a feed in front and shot for the far corner only for the goalie to kick it back to me so I tried for the near corner and he flashed an amazing toe save to deny me again. I now have a team leading 13 goals in 12 games with 8 assists (2nd in assists). During our 5 game unbeaten string I have 10 goals, only getting kept off the scoreboard in our 2-2 tie.

Unfortunately this week's game is on Saturday because of a kid's tourney bumping us and I can't make the game because of couples bowling league. After that we have 2 weeks off because of more tournaments. That means my next game is on Feb 22nd.

I'll try to get in some basketball those weekends instead.

Work is going well. We managed to improve the speed of ComicWonder.com dramatically in the last few days. Not sure how it's going to hold up under a heavy load yet. I guess we'll find out soon. The winner of the Comic Wonder of the Year contest, Chris Cashman and Mark Metcalf (Neidermeyer from Animal House and Maestro from Seinfeld) are making the radio talk show circuit now and will be on Bob & Tom a week from Wednesday (Feb 6th).

I guess we'll know if we can handle an increased load that day. That's what she said. There's no time for that!

And here's another joke from Christopher Walken.

You might have seen this. Here's a clip along similar lines to the Coming to america clip you had on Thursday. A week before the Packers game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2triiYXSY8
