OH MY GOD I DID IT ******AGAIN*******!!!!!!!! I totally forget to check for PENDING COMMENTS! AGH! I’m so used to the old MT emailing me when a comment is submitted.
My appoligies, AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN to those who commented. Geez! I’m such an ass sometimes.
Oh this is a riot:
Hahahah this is a riot!
Wow. Just, WOW. Everyone needs to read this blog, from the beginning.
From her blog:
“In the 80
That d*mn “bored meeting” and it’s post-meeting nasty-email send-athon have got me so wired I’m not tired enough to go to bed and it’s 2am.
I used to always stay up ’till 2, sometimes later. But I’m trying to get a more “normal” routine going.
Doc gave me some sleeping pills to help me GET to sleep, they knock you out for 4 hours. I never had trouble sleeping thru the night before, but when I take these, I wake up exactly 4 hours later and stare at the clock for two hours.
I just popped one anyway, cuz otherwise I’ll be up ’till 4am.
They are EXPENSIVE! Like $50 AFTER insurance pays their part.
Because of that I don’t take them daily, just as needed. The label says “as needed” anyway. I need them tonight. They’ll wear off just about the time M’s dog, the Eskie, wakes up and decides we all should be awake too.
It’s thunering and lightning and raining out now.
I had no idea they were remaking the Amityville Horror. I’m going to have to go see that.
When I was a kid living in New Jersey, I lived near the house that they filmed the original movie in.
We’d drive by it all the time as we cut from one end of town to the other. It was creepy… and neato.
I wonder where they filmed this one.
Today was a great kind of day. Slept in, went downstairs in my pj’s and did some work on a website. I did about an hours work on this site on Friday and an hours worth of work this morning, yet to the untrained eye one would think I’d been working on it a week. Then I took myself to a Thai restaurant for Panang chicken for lunch, came back home, and spent some time surfing and playing w/ the dog. Then my UPS package came a day early (WHEN DOES *THAT* EVER HAPPEN!?) and I then gleefully spent the early evening playing with my new toy. Then we went out to Best Buy (got some rechargeable batteries), Circuit City, and then Dairy Queen. I love days like this.
Tired from the 8-hour linux lan party we had at our house, out for late nite food at Ale House. *yawn*
“I can sew reeeal good, when I was an assistant I would sew nipples on, just
sew them right on, you know I can make a nipple out of this napkin here…”
[[I sent this twice Friday night but it never came thru (a Cingular problem). Pic taken w/ Sony Clie UX50 and sent using it's bluetooth connection to my cell phone's GPRS.]]
We had a linux party at our house today; grilled out burgers and dogs and basically had an install-fest.
There’s a HUGE swarm of bees in the neighbor’s tree. They called a beekeeper and he’s gonna come and get them. I’m going to get some pictures and maybe video, which I’ll post here later. Neat!
I took the pug to the vet again this morning. He’d been throwing up about
every 2-4 hours last night.
I dropped him off for the day. This is gonna cost; x-rays, bloodwork.
Now I’m at the car dealership waiting for an oil change and waiting for the
vet to call my cell phone.
I’m worried about my puppy.

Neat. “flickrfox is an extension for Firefox (version 1.0) that lets you browse your Flickr photostreams in a sidebar.”
My doggie’s been sick. You can read about it on his blog.
This is the, no, this is one of the most pathetic things I’ve seen in a while:
Grading in red pen hurts poor chyldrun’s self esteem (a-bullshit-choo!).
Ex-fucking-scuse ME?!?!?
Wow, this explains what’s been going on w/ my ISP:
“Why Comcast is chasing DNS outages”
http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=1279
We switched from Sprint-Earthlink DSL to Comcast Cable Modem service a few months ago. We thought we had dns problems, but it might have just been that our router needed new firmware. We stuck w/ cable cuz it was just so much FASTER.
Out of laziness, we still had DSL as well.
There have been a TON of dns problems w/ comcast lately, so we’ve been switching between dsl and cable alot. Word on the street (web) was that comcast was having bad dns problems, which was obvious to us. Now ZDNet and the like are picking up the story. It’s bad. They better get their act together. I like the ultra fast cable modem service, but what good is it if half the time the sites you are looking at just stop working?
M’s reading an article about caffiene in National Geographic:
* “Robusto” coffe beans (used for cheap coffee) has more caffiene than Arabica beans used in more expensive coffee. Gimme el-cheapo coffeeee!
* Dark chocolate has 3x the caffiene as milk chocolate, but you’d have to eat half a pound of dark chocolate to get the caffiene in a cup of coffee.
* 2 tablets of Excederin has more caffiene than a 20oz Coke.
This is a wild article, you should read it if you can find it. Bizarre photos of caffiene paste, and anecdotes about factory workers fingering a caffiene foam in the roasters in the factory for a caffiene hit. Heheheh.
Oh, and by the way, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the Senseo coffee maker ROCKS!
I’m a nostalgic fool. Sometimes I get all nostalgic and miss places that I used to live growing up.
We moved ALOT growing up, so that gives my brain lots of daydream food.
But most of all, I miss the house I was born into. It was a nice, big, colonial home in New Jersey that when bought in the 60′s was $26,000 brand new, and now is going for around $700,000. This house here reminds me of that house, although this one is a little bit different.
I love houses. I used to want to be an architect. I love looking at floor plans, and when watching movies, I can tell when they shoot some scenes in one house and other scenes in another house, as if we won’t notice.
I think alot about my old house, and would buy it in a heartbeat if I had an opportunity.
They say you can’t go back, but I’m dying to stop by and see how different it looks. Last time I went by, the trees were fuller (it was new when I was little) which made the yard look smaller. They’ve changed the landscaping, the color, the doorframe. Why did you change my house? Makes me think of that song “The Old Apartment” by Barenaked Ladies.
I want to show M the house. To prove that yes, I once DID have money. After leaving there, things went downhill. I went from money to living in a car, as a child. I’m pretty much back to where I started. I now have a nice 2-story, 4 bedroom house in a nice neighborhood. But I won’t feel “done” until I’m in a slightly bigger house, up north, where the leaves turn, the snow comes, and you can smell the rich soil in the summer time.
I love this picture of cat-tongue:

(I didn’t take this, I just like this photo.)
Last night we went for indian food for dinner, and then we went to Circuit City, then Best Buy, and then CompUSA.
It seems Circuit City has much cooler stuff than any of them, at least more than CompUSA, at least in the camera department. I really loved this:

ACK! I did it AGAIN! I KEEP forgetting to check movable type for new pending comments! My appologies to commenters. I wasn’t ignoring you. I just keep forgetting that MT has built-in comment queing. Ack!
