I know I used to be one. I don't recall doing some of the things they do now. But then, computers weren't exactly a big thing back then. They are far more useable now. The teenager has an annoying habit of coming over to his dad's when no one is home. I know he was here last night, cause my office was moved around. GRRRRRRRR Do not mess with my desk!!! So now, I have to set a password on my computer all week. This bugs me. I'd only been doing it on the weekends when he's been here. ...

It's been four days since I've had a chance to sit down at my computer. I haven't had time. Today, I turned it on, and captured some episodes off my DVR while I ran around and cleaned the house. Tomorrow I have a few things to do. For a couple days, I thought we might be getting into spring. I know it's on it's way. The days are getting longer. The temps were in the upper 30's. But no. Back to winter time for a bit longer I fear. This week, not going to be real warm. Which usually isn...

Tuesday night is fun for me. I'm weird. This. You know, or have guessed. I come home from work, scoot about the house, get something for dinner and settle in to watch West Wing on Bravo, then Gilmore Girls. Then 24. However, tonight, I was interrupted during all 3 shows. First, a friend of our house-mate Spencer's came over. Asked for my assistance with Spencer's birthday gift. I was happy to do it. So much for West Wing. Then, he came back after getting some supplies and we sat through mo...

Well, the smoking ban finally did what I thought it would. I got let go due to lack of business. Same week, I lost one of my DJ jobs cause the boss thought he was well enough to start up again. (He wasn't...explain in a bit). THEN...my car decides to break. Timing belt and I had a valve cover leak. Picked the DJ job back up cause the boss was not well enough to go back. In fact, he damaged himself further by trying to do too much too soon. Not that I wanted to get the job back that way, b...

I'm watching Charmed on the WB...when an ad for their new series "Superstar" comes on. Basically the premise is this. They send all the people with talent home, and keep the less talented singers for amusement. Since when did humilation become entertainment? Granted, pratfalls and the like have always been amusing, but at least the actors knew what was going on. Three Stooges (sp?) are an excellent example. Those guys knew what they were doing, if they looked silly..they intended to. These...

Although...I have been busy. STILL trying to figure out the conversions of CDG to DVD. I'm gotten to converting from CDG to Bin files. Now what? Tons of info out there. But sorting through the crap...takes time. Something I have precious little of. So, my car blew up...sort of. Head gasket. Not pretty. My washing machine is leaking and the refridgerator is also heading towards the grave. So...lots of things gone wrong all at one time. Not very nice. As you can sorta guess, I'm stress...

I have been busier than a one armed paper hanger. Haven't a clue what the paper hanger's job is really...Just know I'm busier than he is. My darling boss has a new project for me. Oh and it's a dooozy. DVD has reached the karaoke world. 450 songs on one disc. You can see why this interests my boss. Well. I have a DVD burner. He came up with the great idea of buying one of these systems, and a few discs. And what ever the discs don't have that he does, we're gonna transfer that to a ...

I had a plan. Note, HAD. A plan. I was going to the hair stylist, spend some time with Jerry typing up new books, then go to work. What happened? Hair stylist had to cancel. Her father is ill. I hope not seriously. So I called Jerry, whose brother stopped over, so no books today. I went errand running with my guy. That never bodes well. He hates shopping. The transportation dept decided that Friday was a wonderful day to do some road work. Right by the major grocery stores. Morons. ...

Actually, it's my friend, Jerry's fault. He was playing this game. Zuma. Looked like fun. So I downloaded it. OOOOOOH! It IS fun. A giant waste of time. But fun. Shockwave has a lot of cool little games. So if you are bored and can't go to the great outdoors. Check it out! Oscar night. I cried with Charlize when she won. She earned that shiny little naked guy! And hey..it's about time the Oscars started paying attention to fantasy/Sci-fi movies. I dare say more people are apt to watch ...

Tonight. Was weird. No other word for it. Just weird. Karaoke at Penny's is usually pretty swinging, but tonight I had an avalanche of singers. So much so, I played 45 minutes over. It was also the boss's b-day. His wife was the one who ended up trashed. She sang. She never does that. It was funny. I got blamed for someone straightening their life out. No joke. He was serious when he said it was my fault he paid off his debt and started writing again. I was a bit stunned. This is ...

As some of you know, I'm a bartender during the days. Today, one of my older regulars comes in. Alex. WW II vet. Pretty fiesty for his age. And five minutes into a conversation, he asks if I've heard of the Mass ruling on gay marriage. Of course, he thinks it's wrong. I smiled softly at him and asked one question. "Are you gay?" he sputtered for a moment, then said no. "What does it matter to you then if they get married or not." "It's just wrong." "So was letting black and white kids...

Lists. I make lists all the time. They litter my desk.My wall and the window.  This does not always mean I follow these things.Or even pay attention to them really. It's reference points for later on. They go with the master plan in my head. I havecertain things I am planning to do. Once I pay off this one bill, I have a planfor my computer. It's going to take me three weeks to pay the thing off. So. Inthose 3 weeks, I will make many lists, based on research I do between ...

Winter Blahs...Yikes Thankfully, this week, Mother Nature has let off on the sub-zero temps. It's around 30 outside right now. And that feels like a heat wave after the minus degrees we had. We got a crap load of snow yesterday. But it was the heavy snow. Great for snowballs, and not too awful to drive on.  Last night, I was wandering around my kitchen, making a little snack to go with my shows I was watching in the living room. We have a "baby gate" in the door way of the little...

(also posted in forums about Janet) I don't know about you, but this year's halftime show really bit. If it sucked, it would've felt good. MTV should NEVER be in charge of anything for the general public viewing audience. The Janet thing. I really can't believe she did that. I know she's been getting racier as she's progressed in her career. But this is a stunt we'd expect to see Madonna pull. Janet's always been flirting with the edge of "naughty". I always thought her to have a classier se...

It's a rare occasion when I don't have to DJ on Friday night. I like it. Sorta like a mini break. I get right back into again on Saturday. I don't mind really. The step kids are here and the one likes to bug me. So, I went to the video store. Rented Sex & The City season 2. No order on this really. I just hadn't seen much of the show, so I know there are tons of episodes for me to watch. I may eventually buy it. It's a fun watch. I also rented The Outsiders. I still favor the book, but th...
