Oh, how I have missed this little text box. Anyhoo. It was below zero here for a few days, and snowy, and then it got warm and balmy. In the twenties, and the snow on the streets melted in the sun and made mud or brown snow slush stuff, and anyway, it looked like chocolate to me. Cuz I am a choco-holic among other things. Hi. How are you?
So. No news. Oh, shit, how dumb am I? DUH. I have news. I just put my 2nd novel online for free. So, go read it! It's delightful. Er, I mean.... it's funny and entertaining. And possibly good. I don't know. It's a science fiction novella thing. Maybe I should explain more, in case you don't go to my News page. It's called Paranormal Activities Unit and it's here. See? Ah, HTML, how I have missed you. I love computers. And Internet. And coding things. Sigh.
I'm all mopey today. Geez. And I'm trying to figure out a really lazy way to lose weight. You know, besides becoming a drug addict. Sheesh! Ummmm..... I can't even get myself to exercise for 10 minutes a day. I tried to get myself to do it, and myself said, "Uh-uh. No way." Pfft.
It's like I'm scheduled for so much of the day I couldn't stand to have anything else scheduled into my day. And it's not that I'm lazy. It's that exercise is so BORING. You know? I mean it's like you're not doing anything. And you have to space out and go somewhere else while it's going on. Booorrrrring. I hate it. Grr. And I wouldn't mind it so much if I had more time in my day to goof off and be unscheduled. Maybe. I do despise schedules. Or now I do. I think the more time I had to goof off, the more time I would take to goof off. It's like saving money. You think if you have more money, you'll save some of it. But nope. You just spend more of it. Okay, I did manage to save some money. Cuz I'm good at that shit. Why am I swearing? Cuz I can't all day long? Maybe.
Sigh. Mental health through swearing. Grrrr. Anyway. My back hurts. Whatever. My thoracic spine. Or T-spine. You see what my damn job has done to me?!! It has made me know words! Which, I will have to spell check later. Hey, isn't the new Firefox 2.0 supposed to have spell check? Or was that an upcoming feature? Not yet offered. Hey, why have they not offered me 2.0????!!!! With a pop-up or something. Geez. Cuz I don't want to have to remember. And I shouldn't have to check to see if new amazing stuff is ready to download. I'm just assuming it will be amazing. In reality, every update or improvement to any software ever means slower everything. Cuz it probably means more lines of code. And more lines of code slows down everything. YEAH. Oh well. Except for those companies where "improvements" is code for "we added more ads and other ways to annoy you for money - cheers". Grr.
Hey, I got the Alias complete collection of DVDs. The box is awesome. The discs are all scratched because amazingly they designed the worst possible holders for the discs. Except the hidden disc. That one is properly protected. Absolutely amazing. The Amazon reviews are full of people needing to order replacement discs. What a faux pas! Wow. Super wow. All mine play okay so far. Though with the first disc I tried my machine liked to spin it really loud. When I opened the player it was still spinning like mad, then slowed down after it ejected. Sheesh. May be a player issue. Unless there's a scratch over the part of the disc that is programmed to tell the player, "Don't spin this like mad." Eh. Heh.
What else is going on? Nothing. My chapstick tastes funny. Like.... wax. Normal. Scrubs comes back on tonight. And Men in Trees. I like both of those. And I really like Day Break. I just wandered off to try to find out its ratings. No such luck. Am I not Googling right? (Am I spelling "Googling" right?) Anyway. Damn, I just tried to save this with ctrl+s. I did that at work recently too. Instead of clicking the button. You can't ctrl+s an online form. Geez. I've been building a lot of web pages lately. For the free book. It's 24 pages on the web. I build it with metapad and ctrl+s all day long. It's so funny that I'm in the habit. Today when I got home from work, I went to make a phone call and I dialed 9 first. Durrr. Cuz I do that all day at work. Shite. Habits.
I need computer glasses at work. But I refuse to wear these pink tinted Yahoo things I'm wearing right now. With a crack in one of the lenses. Too embarrassing. People would walk by and go, "What are you wearing?!" "Are you trying to make a statement?" But if I get the clear kind of computer glasses, everyone will think they're just glasses. But they will have to ask me about them. Just because they're new. And I don't wear glasses normally. Ha! My mother once came into my apartment and said, "I like your glasses." I said, "What glasses?" Then it dawned on me, "Oh, these!" The pink ones. I forget I have them on. Pfffft. Funny funny.
Ah well. Where do I get these nuggets of meaninglessness? Hee. I should probably go now. I have to find tapes to record all these shows on. Two shows. Whatever. Later.
