Milestones
Marathon blogging anyone? I was, clearly, playing with the profile feature and I noticed something astonishing. If i count right, this post could push me over the word count :P As of this moment, I have, offically, posted more than 140,000 words on blogger. EDITED: Damnit! I knew that seemed low! They haven't updated my profile since NOvember! Check out the posts listed as recent!
Nerdy Boys, The Game Is Up!
That's right darlings, there are now 8 of us that find you interesting :) Blogger Profiles
Sad Things
So Max ran away and we still haven't found him. Well, today, a month later (i think) i finally cleaned out his cage :( It was depressing. It feels like giving up on him :( But, in some ways, i guess I am. He's not coming back and I'd be insane to think we're going to catch him this late in the game. Anyway, princess looks happy in it. She has both cages now. In any case, i'm sad.
It's Tabbed Browsing's Fault I Have Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
Tabbed browsing deserves a post of its own. All I can say is "Wow, has it changed the way I use the internet." It makes everything I do infinately faster and it enables me to exist. You see, i have a 64 bit processor and a 17 inch monitor. This doesn't seem like a problem to most people but when you're taking in never-ending graphic requests 24 hours a day which means you need outlook and three seperate graphics softwares running constantly, along with a few messenger/aim windows, ftp software, a few image folders, media player, and at least one firefox window, it becomes a bit of a problem :P The 64 bit processor handed me all of the power to do these amazing things - and i'm short on ram on a unoptimized operating system and software - but I just don't have the screenspace. I couldn't do it without my precious tabs. Presently, I have 10 tabs open. At any given moment, I can be validating in tabs - 10 to 20 windows open with assorted chapters written, mainly, by mediocre at best amateur authors that just want a chance to whine about their lives - searching Google for the latest image I need to fill a request and running two helpdesks, two forums, plus my own site. Now, i realize, i do more than the average person does on the internet and i do it all at one time but the importance tabbed browsing holds over the way we use the internet is massive and I don't think we've seen the end of that potential. There are so many other things it would be nice to tabify....*looks mischeviously at messenger and word*
Deliver Me
After four strenuous days of reskinning - the endevor is finally complete. I've added about 20 new links, a bits and bobs page of collections of odd things, formatted all to hell and it's finally over. The thing to be said - Jon Stewart is trying to kill me :) I downloaded like 10 episodes of the daily show along with all of the Bill Mahr I could get my hands on - man i've missed Politically Incorrect. My stomach hurts from laughing so hard.
They've Officially Type Cast Orlando Bloom
Now, i'm not his biggest fan but I'm aware of his presence since I actually know his name :) Has he done any movies in the last five years that aren't designed as epic films in anceint times? Yeah, i thought not.

I Knew Flash Was A Bad Idea
I remember the original hamster dance. 700 gifs neatly arranged on a page with some rediculously intoxicating music in the background. This is what it looks like now
Catholics & English Soccer Houlagins
Jesus Christ! And, for once, that's a very proper term. I'm watching coverage of the new pope, because i figured we'd have a vote about now and my darling mike is itnerested. Anyways, yes, Catholics are way worse than english soccer hoolagins or middle aged moms at a beanie baby sale. They're darting across 7 lanes of traffic pushing baby strollers. It must seriously suck to have your life goverened like that.... There are very few thinsg that could have me darting across seven lanes of traffic.....Yeah...nix that. I can't think of any...>Except bush in a dunking booth.....maybe...
Feeling Like You've Been Lied To
I'd like to introduce you all to the biggest lie ever. Natural Citrus Listerine Less intense, my ass. As noted in a previous post, one of my wisdom teeth is crowning so running my electric tooth brush which happens to sound like a black hawk across the torn gum seems, well, stupid...but, aware that torn gums probably still need cleaning, i decided to go the route of "Less Intense" listerine. This is less intense in the sense that if you light two firecrackers in your fist you'll get a bigger boom than if you light one off in your fist - it still hurts like hell but it's not as cool to watch. Remind me to ditch the listerine and just gargle with vodka. *eyeroll*
In The Continuing Theme Of Total Suckyness
One of my wisdom teeth - the one that's been sort of wiggling around in my jaw lately - crowned. This sucks.
I Hate The Pope
Okay - I don't hate the Pope, I hate the catholics who think he's important enough to turn my tv into PopeVision 24 hours a day.
I Want To Be Marketed To
I am so sick of e-mails from World Tobacco and porn that i'd like to take a moment to say the following: I like cute things. I like pink things. I like hello kitty. I like coffee. I like gadgets. I like microsoft. I like odd ball stuff like poprocks. There, now would you kindly market to me properly. Thank you.
Holy Shit!
I may actually have to see Sin City. Why, you ask would I of all people want to go see this movie. Because I have to see Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bliedel) play a hooker! This doesn't seem like much to you but for the last five years Alexis has been the sweet, innocent, brilliant bookworm from Stars Hollow, CT...I have a hard time envisioning her fooling around with her new, clean cut, rich boy boyfriend but I cannot see her as a hooker. I'm now invested in seeing if she can pull it off.
Max: The 4 Legged Houdini
So, the hamster is at it again. I came home this evening to find my hamster MIA. Turns out, my parents thought he was making too much noise so they moved him. Evidently, it occured to his supreme fatness that if he pushed up on the "viewing area" of his cage (a little plastic box with a lid on top so that you could - theoretically, put the hamster in it and pet him without taking him out of his environment) the lid would pop open due to his incrediable girth and he could escape. Someone remind me to duct tape that shut when we finally find the little SOB Well, we turned the house upsidedown and didn't find him. We're hoping he's naping and will surface at some point during the evening to crawl into his little wheel and get some rest (yes, he sleeps in the wheel - why do you think he's so fat.) In the mean time, the cage door is open. There's plenty of food scattered around the floor of our kitchen (the dish man and kitchen cleaner, aka my depressed father, has been slacking lately) but we're hoping his water bottle and the promise of something he won't get a series of electric shocks from to chew on will leur him back home.
