Yet another reason why Limp Bizkit sucks fannies. Aside from the fact that anytime I hear them, they sound like they’ve just ripped some chords from PWEI and other decent bands and put them together terribly. Don’t even get me started on lyrics, or rather, the shouting.

Apparently lots of folks don’t like them. Quick search brings up a ton of sites. I’d like to see good ole Freddy and the boys’ fans get their buts into a REAL mosh pit and keep up. I’m not talking about the pits started by the jocks that go to their concerts, I’m talking about the pits from the days of my youth. They would have had their arses thrown out instantly. I miss those days. I miss going to see those kinds of concerts. You just don’t see that around any more. Then again, the music nowadays pretty much sucks. Oh well..

I feel much better about letting that out. I’ve never liked them, and I don’t think I ever will. Not even as people. Sorry guys, but you just won’t get it.

They got rid of Jerry and now the world is happy. Sweet. She was such a Biotch. At least that’s the general impression I got of the few minutes here and there I saw. Yeah.

Please forgive me if I seem a little ticked off.

My freaking smoke alarm is going nuts. There’s no smoke or anything floating around, so the only thing I can think of is that there is a short in the system. So, it is for that reason I turned the power to it off. However, it’s on the same circuit as the lights. Therefore, I have no lights. I had forgotten how to work without lights. It’s quite dark. I managed to find a few lamps, but who knows how long that will last.

At least I was here to hear the thing. I thought it was the central alarm going off, but then I realized it was a different tone. So I got closer to the smoke detector and discovered that was it. Grr. I would prefer not to die, but you know, this thing really ticks me off.

Maybe I should just buy one of those battery operated ones. That might be safer, at least I can beat the thing up to make it stop. Or I could take the easy route and take the batteries out. All I know is these industrial ones stink. Grr.

Sweet. I found the Hey Pretty Drive by Remix single (actually I had to buy the album to get the single). Josh and I also went to a computer show and I got a new dvd drive and some new ram for my main machine. It took less than a minute to rip and encode the song. I think it took like 38 seconds. Yippee. I’m a happy camper now. Josh got some RAM for the server, but surprisingly didn’t buy anything for his machines. I wonder what that could mean.

MIR has fallen. I’m so sad. I’m waiting to see some stinkin pictures. It was supposed to be a pretty grand sight. I would imagine so!

In yet another reason to dislike the president… he’s turning back the clock and bringing us back to a cold war-esq era. Let’s get all of the Russians out of governmental/diplomatic positions because…. they’re Russian. Crimeny, like all of the other countries in the world don’t have spies. Give me a freaking break.

Well, back to the TV. I just want to see the pictures they got from Fiji. There was a CNN correspondent there who got the flying debris on film. You’d think they would have the uplink done faster than that. Then again, they’re in Fiji. I guess it might take a little while after all.

Well, Mir is supposed to fall between 1 and 2am Friday. That’s tomorrow, that’s in 12 hours. I’m staying up! I want to see if what’s left of it hits the Taco Bell target!. That would be too funny… and weird.

So much for the big snow storm. It’s been raining and that’s about it. We might get some snow later. I’m not sure. I’m going to go to the store soon, since the rain has let up. Gotta get me some odds and sods!

With literally one last bite to go, I caved. I could not finish the bowl of chili I had fixed. This cold is really doing a number on me. Sheesh. I thought I was done, but around mid-afternoon it peeked out again. My voice is going again and my nose is stuffed again (the chili did help some). My ears are feeling clogged as well. So unfun.

Josh said he is working late. Ho Hum. I shall survive. Maybe this weekend I will get to spend some time with him. Maybe.

Nicole’s birthday party is this weekend. She’s got to be turning what, 20? Ok, so she’s really turning 2, but these days that is isn’t that far from 20. Kids are being pressured into growing up so early. I saw training bras for 4 year olds. Why is there a need for such things? Maybe they were for really really small older girls. However they were with the toddler/big girl stuff. I don’t get it any more. I’m glad my nieces have some smarts. It’s such a dangerous world out there.

I remember putting the Meghan’s Law list up on the TV station’s website for the first time. Funny, I’m the one who knew the most about how the list worked, but they didn’t dare interview me. I was a woman… and better yet, I was a “kid.” I don’t think anyone there really knew my background, nor my experience. Their loss I’d have to say! Oh well.

I’m eating a jolly rancher. It’s the only thing that seems to make my throat feel better. I used to eat jolly ranchers in school. I didn’t like to eat too many. I really just liked the shape and the color. Letting them melt into interesting patterns was great. It was almost like working with stained glass, except this kind you had to keep away from the sun and heat! Those were the days.

I’m still sick. It’s is not fun. I have a little bit of a voice, I’m coughing like crazy and I’m weak. Josh is not coming home until late. He’s going over to John’s to upgrade John’s firewall. Oi vey, what shall I do? Ooh, I think I’m going to make myself some mac and cheese. I’m not sure if I’ll do some homemade or box. Decisions, decisions!

Alright, I’m outta here. Actually I’m going to go blow my nose. What fun!

I heard on the radio in a quick blurb that the winner of The Survivor 2 is …

Like I’m gonna say!! I have watched the show twice. I am not really that interested in it. I think I watched the last one only three or so times.

Ok, I’m going to bed now. I am not going to be able to finish this. I still feel miserable and am coughing like a smoker for 75 years!

I’ve almost completed the layout using the kids. I got so many great shots of the kids that I didn’t know which ones to use. I got a really good one of Brittany… you’ll see when it gets done… I’m so impressed with my nieces’ and nephew’s talent in front of the camera. Too cute they all are!

Josh is on his way. He wants to get a hair cut. Why can’t he get one when I ask him? Why does he need one now? I know why… and I don’t want to talk about it.. Grrrrrrrr.
