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. ...
Ah. I play Zuma too much. But in my defense, I always do some work first. Then I play. This weekend. I managed to research some new karaoke music. By going to different sites that offer custom disks, and looking at each one for the songs we are being asked for. I made a very neat little grid, labeled each column for the different sites, and checked off the song if they had it. It looked very professional even. My friend Jerry was impressed. He bought two custom disks today. Based on my r...
I have a new show to watch. Wonderfalls. Have you seen this yet? It airs on the Fox network. I'm guessing a mid season replacement for something. But as I don't normally watch Fox except for Tru Calling and 24, I don't know the other shows on that network. Wonderfalls is delightfully nutty and strange. I dig those type of shows. Take a peek at it. You may enjoy it as well. I got my new printer today. I'm thrilled. One more thing off my list. What's left? I have forgotten at the mom...
It's official. I hate winter. Yep. I know. First day of spring is coming up. Saturday. But old man winter is hanging on with a freakin' death grip. SNOW is evil. Rant over. I just got the new Print Shop 20. Mock me if you want. I like it! It's spiffy keen for me. I am going to play with it. I just have zero time in the next three days. Maybe on Friday I can accomplish something. I'll see. Sunday looks most promising. No one home, I can play with that and some tunes. Happy Misfit C...
I adore Gilmore Girls. I love how fast they talk, I love the writing of the show. It's good. Best line....Luke was attempting to fix Lorelai's window while being drunk. He cut his hand. Lorelai, being the fun girl she is, has only Barbie band-aids. She attempts to fix up his hand, and put the band-aid on it. He doesn't notice at first, then goes across the room, babbling like drunks do. Takes a moment to notice his hand, and says "Got a handful of Barbie." Just the way the line was delieve...
Asus. Used to be a great company for making motherboards. Not now. I bought one. And let me tell you. I AM regretting it. Big time. The BIOS keep reseting themselves. And even when I get the configuation for my chip right in the BIOS, it won't keep it. The computer goes off and then comes back on. I don't know what's causing that. Basically. It's been one big headache since I got the thing. And I was really excited. I was going to have my new toy build. But no. I'm on the one I made ...
A anti barking device! No collar needed. Made to shut the neighbors dog up harmlessly!!! I so want that contraption! Now. If they only made one for politicians!
Me? I'm Sagittarius. I seem to attract a lot of Virgos. And Sags and Virgos are not a good mix for long term. Yeah. I know. Some of your think it's a bunch of hooey. I like it. It's fun for me. What's your sign? Which ones do you attract most?
New Page 1 In that scenario, I am Brain. Here's the scoop. As you know. I've been working for a DJ friend of mine who broke his hip. I've been doing so for about 4 months now. He has this other guy who fills in from time to time. Let me explain the other guy. "Herb" is nice enough. Shy. Works very hard (in a factory). Very dependable. Quiet. And absolutely no personality what-so-ever. Not kidding about this. Herb is like goo. He'll take the shape of whatever form you put h...
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 ...
My best friend, Gen. Lives in San Diego. We can spend ooodles of time on the phone. Hours. Don't ask what we talk about. Really don't know sometimes. Just girl stuff. We both have webcams. As I'm typing, I'm listening and occasionally looking at my best friend and her children. My nieces and nephew. We're family. I like it. But of course. Nothing comes simple these days. The sound leaves a lot to be desired. But the point is the same. I get to talk to her without the phone company gett...
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. ...
I've decided I want to improve my knowledge base. It occurs to me sometimes, that I am not stupid, nor am I really smart. I've been described as "street smart" which is a compliment. I've been told I have a wide variety of subjects that I know little bits about, which is good for conversations with a wide cross section of people. But I feel there is always room for improvement. Now. How do I do that? School is out of the question. The money is a problem. So. Home education. Self taught. S...
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...
