Not much going on. Went to the sushi bar and am now surfing at the coffee house. U can check my moblog for peeks into my day. Xmas is sneaking up on me and I am NOT prepared! Traffic is terrible and drivers are assholes. Had a BUS come THISCLOSE to sideswiping me on the road today, right when I was in between shifting and I had a choice: beep the horn or shift. Scary millisecond.

I can’t believe the FUCKING IDIOTS that email me and/or leave comments (which are QUEUED) on this blog, INSULTING me and calling me bad names. What is wrong with people? If you don’t like what I say THEN FUCKING LEAVE!!!! It’s MY blog, it’s MY world, this is MY soapbox and if you don’t like it, the get the fuck out! How pathetic some people are that they have nothing better to do with their time than to send nasty messages to people they simply don’t agree with. Fucking idiots, morons, retards. I mean, like I’d click “allow comment” when you send me an insult you fucking retard! Ah, the anonymity of the internet allows nubby-dicked cowards to insult somebody for their rightful opinion in their own ‘house’. Chicken-shit FUCKING R-E-T-A-R-D.
Does anyone know the name of the band and/or song that characters Neela and Michael Gallant were playing and dancing to at the beginning of tonight’s ER episode? It’s a very upbeat “punjabi” style song. They referred to it as “Sikh Rap”, but from searching Google, I’m sure that’s the style, not the band. I checked the credits but didn’t see anything. I know I’ve heard the song before but could never catch the name of it. If you have any info, leave a comment. Thanks.
UPDATE: From what I can tell, they played some version of “Punjabi MC Feat – Jay Z – Beware of the Boys (Mundian To Bach Ke)“. The lyrics are different from the sample I heard online but it is essentially the same song.
It blows me away. I have been into Indian music and Indian movies for YEARS now, and now everyone else is jumping on the bandwagon. Even Aishwarya Rai is finally going to make a HOLLYWOOD movie (as opposed to a Bollywood one). Saw it in an article somewhere, now I wish I could figure out which computer I bookmarked it on. Now all of the US will fall in love w/ her, as I did years ago. I’m always one step ahead of everyone else. 
UPDATE: This is my personal journal, NOT a message board for ER or Sikh Rap. Comments are closed.

I just remembered something else new:
I got THIRD ROW tickets to see Yanni! (Yeah, bet you never thought ol’ Laserone was a Yanni fan!) Tix don’t go on sale until 12-15 but since I joined the online fan club I got a password and was able to buy tix today and got third row floor! Whoo hoo!
Bought today:
Trans-Siberian Orchestra, 2 xmas CD’s:
Christmas Eve & Other Stories
and
The Christmas Attic
My fav is the heavy-metal sounding “carol of the bells”. The song is called ” Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24″ but it essentially “carol of the bells” and REALLY rockin’!
The holidays are approaching and after trying so hard to to ignore the xmas push that the retailers started in OCTOBER, I’m now all of a sudden panicking because I don’t know what to get who. Cripes!
Where did Sunday go?
I thought I was better for a couple days, then the coughing started again, yay.
Yesterday was run-around-errands day.
Today was sleep-half-the-day because we were up coughing all night.
I have nothing to say, life is boring.
Very interesting article about camera phones and privacy:

Hello from the coffee shop!
One of the local coffee houses uses Surf And Sip WiFi. In my one-horse town, not many coffee houses have wifi. I’m out shoppin’!
Hahahahah, I love the tone of this article!

I was talking earlier about my new UK Love Actually soundtrack… I’ve seen LoveActually.com before, but on the back of THIS cd there’s this url: www.LoveActuallyTheMovie.com and if you skip the intro and go directly to http://www.loveactuallythemovie.com/index_02.html, you can play some of the songs off the UK soundtrack via their flash interface. There’s a little player in the lower right-hand corner, you can pick any song, play it, (it takes a few seconds to buffer). It doesn’t play the whole song, but most of it. It’s kinda neat.
Oh THIS is a f*ckin’ riot!!!!! To quote my brother:
“It’s a computer version of a snow globe– with a sick twist.
To “shake” the globe, put mouse pointer over globe, hold down your mouse button, then “shake.” When you do, not only does the snow start falling– but the
kids in the animation get knocked off their feet! [and scream!] And if you watch the animation long enough, when the girl finishes building her snowman– it gobbles her up!”
I just love it!
M went to the astronomy club meeting tonight, I didn’t go because of my bronchitis and I just feel run down. But this time the meeting was at the new observatory at the new local university, and they have a 16.5″ Ritchey-Chretien telescope. The lead astronomer was there and was telling them about how NASA is going to send some space probe into the tail of a comet to collect dust particles and they are going to collect the particles using this weird material that is like a gel but it is 99.8% air. He said they had some in a vial that you could look at and it was wild, it looked, as he put it, as though somebody had captured blue smoke in a vial and froze it there. He said that he saw a photo of this stuff laid out in a layer holding up a stack of books, so it’s strong in spite of being 99.8% air. The material was called “aero gel”, and the mission is called the “stardust mission”. http://stardust.jpl.nasa.gov Now I wish I had gone to the meeting, but I just don’t feel good.
Quick! Before Google changes their database! Go to Google.com, type in “miserable failure“, and then click the “I’m feeling lucky” button!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

EEEEEEE! Me so happy! The british soundtrack to Love Actually came in the mail today! I ordered it from Streets Online, who I can now say are quite reliable: http://www.streetsonline.co.uk/common/product.jhtml?pid=30052220
It has some different songs on it than the US version. It has a different version of “Jump for my love” (a really rockin’ version!) that is by Girls Aloud, it has the whole song of “sweetest goodbye” (for some stupid reason the US version cuts it off halfway thru to go into some other song), it has some other song I don’t remember from the flick called “sometimes”, plus two orchestral themes that are not on the US soundtrack. What kills me is that neither soundtrack has the opening theme, the one that branches off from the “christmas is all around” recording scene. But then, I’m a music freak and most people probably don’t even care or notice.
Oh, and in case you didn’t hear me before, GO SEE LOVE ACTUALLY! It’s no chick-flick, it’s funny as hell!
I hate being sick. Went to dr., it IS bronchitis afterall. Yay. I had bronchitis six, SIX!!! times in three months last winter. I hope to god it won’t be like that again this winter.

For years I have known people who were mega into Buffy, and I never watched it cuz I thought the whole concept was stupid. Now I regret that because I am hooked on Angel. But, I have not been watching it long (only a couple months and it’s been on since I think ’99) and I watch it in reruns that are out of order, so I am so confused. I wish I had been watching it all along, and had at least a LITTLE background in Buffy.
On Tivo:

** Ballykissangel
** Angel
** 2001: A Space Odyssey
** To Kill A Mockingbird
** Dogma
Lazy weekend, did nothing but lay around and read and surf and watch movies. Nothing to blog about except links I come across. I was going to get out today, but felt like sh*t when I woke up and have done nothing all day but veg. Being sick sucks.
