Cool beans… got a phone call at 1pm today, looks like tomorrow night I’ll be getting the key to the new place. Hopefully, Saturday I’ll move in, and be settled in time for my sweetheart’s return on Sunday.

Whatever will Newt do with all that space? 🙂

word of the day – cudgel

cudgel KUH-juhl, noun:
A short heavy stick used as a weapon; a club.

transitive verb:
To beat with or as if with a cudgel.

Cudgel derives from Old English cycgel.

The Grand Vizier Kuprili of Constantinople, for example,… closed the city’s coffeehouses. Anyone caught drinking coffee was soundly cudgeled.

You know, I’d trade a good whomp for some 7-11 coffee right about now.

Evil News

Creep Creates Super Hero
=================================
A man was sentenced to 120 years in prison Monday -the maximum -for a sex
attack that left a 9 -year-old child known as Girl X blind, mute and crippled.
“I do not believe that even this sentence is enough for the acts of this
defendant, but the law limits the sentence that I can impose,” Judge Joseph Urso told
Patrick Sykes, a 29 -year-old convicted sex offender.
Prosecutors said that in 1997, Sykes lured a girl into an apartment at the
crime-ridden Cabrini-Green housing project, sexually assaulted her, poured roach
spray down her throat, beat her and left her for dead in a dirty stairwell. The
girl became known in the Chicago media as Girl X.

Genuis Thief
=================================
A Doylestown man claims a thief — wearing medical scrubs with a stethoscope in
his pocket — made off with his motorcycle valued at $13,000 yesterday morning
after posing as a doctor at Akron General Medical Center.
Seeling told the Beacon Journal he had gone to the hospital after a man
answered his newspaper advertisement, claimed he was a doctor and asked Seeling to
meet him yesterday morning in the hospital parking lot to look at the motorcycle.
“We made agreements, and he started the bike, and said he would take it around
the block and test drive it. Well, he didn’t come back,” Seeling said
yesterday afternoon.
