I’ve been listening to the score for the Lord of the Rings movie coming out next week. A good score tells a good story. There are parts to this cd that make me just want to cry. It’s completely freaking me out. It’s like that scene in Pretty Woman where she is at the opera and crying, even though she doesn’t know Italian. The music conveys a strong emotion. So far, I think Howard Shore’s work on this score is definately Academy Award worthy.

Back to work. Although listening to this at work is causing me to look over my shoulders a lot. Some of the songs give you that weird feeling like something evil is coming up behind you. If you get a chance to hear the score, DO IT! It’s quite darn good and this is coming from a devout Danny Elfman fan!

Apparently the heat wasn’t on at all this weekend at work and now everyone is freezing. I’ve been getting up every fifteen minutes or so because my fingers were turning purple. At least it’s not as bad as my old job. I got so cold I passed out. Oh the fun. Of course it wasn’t until we almost burned the place down that we were finally moved somewhere warmer, even if they were cubicles.

Our cable modem connection went down last night for about an hour or so and I ended up almost going nuts. I was trying to get some work done on the Skittles Cam and poof, not internet. It was rather upsetting.

So who knew Amazon.com has techs working on the weekend!?! I emailed them because I was unable to access my wishlist, well the wishlist I was trying to edit. Come to find out you can have tons of wishlists under the same email, the passwords just have to be different! Doh! Well, at least I learned a few things today though! Gotta finish dinner.

Oh sweet fleas!

“Walden Media to produce C.S. Lewis? ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.’ ”

I used to read the The Chronicles Of Narnia as a child. I wonder what this will look like. I’ve already told Josh that we WILL take off a few hours at work so we can see Lord of the Rings when it opens.

I’m also playing with this little script that lets you view hidden comments on websites. However, when going to a website with lots of comments, it goes wacky for a bit. (boston.com has lots of hidden tags)

More fun news…

Ashley Judd is getting married. Pretty cool, she’s happy. Isn’t that what matters?

Kofi Annan does Sesame Street. (Side Note: I wonder if the UN would let me spiff up his webpage a little. It just doesn’t do him justice.) Oh and congrats to Mr. Annan and the United Nations on winning the Nobel Prize for Peace in 2001.

For those in the US, many your school books were probably once published by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich. Well, Mr. Jovanovich has died. Why is this such a big deal? Well, if you knew how many years I tried to say Jovanovich correctly as a child, you’d know!

So I took the online version of the NPR-Kaiser Family Foundation-Kennedy School of Government Civil Liberties Study. I found it difficult in the fact that it didn’t really have some of the answers I would choose. Therefore I couldn’t honestly complete the test.

The results do scare you though. It once again makes me wish that EVERYONE who wants to vote has to take a political science class and PASS every ten years or so!

I’m sitting here, trying to do some tweaking to the Skittles Cam and I am all shakey. I don’t know what’s up. I’ve been feeling off the past couple of days. I have to go to work tomorrow. We are so close to completion of the difficult part of the project, that I can taste it! I want to get it done before I leave tomorrow so that on Monday I can just go gung-ho and get started. If I get working REALLY fast, I’m going to get my databases all set up and going. That’s probably pushing it though.

One day I’m going to get all of my old diary entries and post them. I’m talking circa mid/early 1990s! That was so long ago.

You know, I’m not unpatriotic. I just don’t think it’s wise to send innocent people over into something they and we aren’t prepared for. I think people don’t understand the conflicts well enough. I think the current leadership in many countries are thinking with their @#$!’s rather than with their minds. Everyone is just pouring salts in each other’s wounds.

I guess I’m just tired of death and destruction of so many people who just want to live their lives and love their families.

Work was good. Work is still going good. Lots of stuff to do. Gotta get stuff done! The CSS and Netscape weren’t getting along together when I left. Oh well.

I think I might be getting sick. My throat is sore and I am feeling like I am burning up one minute and freezing another! Ugh.

I call for a war. If this kind of crap can go on, it is time for a war against the religious radicals in the US that bomb abortion clinics, that shoot doctors, that molest their children, rape and opress their wives. I call for a war against religious idiots. They must be dealt with. They strike terror to those around them. THEY MUST BE STOPPED.

Ok, so we live in the TWENTY-FIRST century now. Give it a rest already. The UN seriously needs to get in and do something.

NO! The bombing is only going to increase the violence and attacks. Things are going very, very badly in the world, and I am scared.

IT has been pre-revealed on Time.com.

I was correct in my belief that it was a scooter type device. But I STILL don’t see what all of the hype is about. Unless it’s only going to cost about $100 USD, it’s of no concern to myself. I am interested in the balance aspect of it and for THAT I may watch GMA, if I can view it online.
