First of all, congratulations to my brother for finally "bringing the funny". Second of all, my condolences to my brother that the only way he could manage to "bring the funny" was to resort to a story about human feces. If only he had audio, the story probably would have been accompanied by some underarm operatics.

On to the next order of business... RENT WHALE RIDER! Beautiful movie, wonderful story, great scenery, hear the accent... it's got it all. Debbie, you had better stop at Price Club to pick up a case of Kleenex before you rent it though!

I'm in my own personal Fear Factor... long days at the photo copier, a phone with a big switchboard thingy that I'm expected to use without hanging up on anyone, piles and piles of data entry, binding pages!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! These are all the tasks I've worked so hard to avoid.... and now I have no choice... Binding was the worst... antiquated crank machines that snap closed and send paper in all directions and those damn plastic ringy things that make it even harder to flip through the pages... WHY??? Let's just punch 3 holes in it, stick it in a binder where it can be easily accessed and be done with it. Why the need for 100 holes and the inability to use the damn thing anymore??? Let's start a revolution - NO MORE BINDING!!!!!!! HEAR ME? WE'LL HAVE NO MORE OF IT!!!!
