I have a ton of books and damnit, I have the time. I’m going to start studying and getting this crap down.

I also need to redesign what I have dubbed my testing domain. It is really just my main hosting account with all of the space. I use it as a testing area for client work before I move it to their live servers. I figure I ought to actually put together a portfolio site and I could easily use that domain since there isn’t really anything else there.

So, in a few weeks I’ll either be posting a lot or a little. It all depends on how the learning and knitting goes. I’m determined to start and finish knitting Rogue before Winter!

Well, there is a much better version of the international HP4 trailer out. The site is in French so you will need to either guess or translate/read to get through.

The Maytag man will really have nothing to do soon!

OK, it is guilty pleasure confession time.

I have and listen to often, The Killers CD Hot Fuss. Off the top of my head, I’m not sure why, but it reminds me of middle and high school.

Other than that, I’ve mostly been listening to Death In June, Dead Can Dance, The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Soundtrack, and The Corpse Bride Soundtrack. /sigh

I’m so bad. I left Firefox open to emachineshop.com on Josh’s computer. He woke up and found it. He asked me what it was, with eyes wide. Josh has been looking for someone to machine some parts for airplane engines and I thought they would be an alternative if he couldn’t find anyone locally. This could be a bad thing.

The CEO writes the company blog which reads more like a tip blog. Hhhhaaaaww, they are doing rubber molds too? Crap, I could be in trouble.

Well if today wasn’t a flashback to 15 years ago, I don’t know what was.

I spent today at my dad’s shop. He wasn’t feeling well and I thought that since Josh would be away today, I might as well help my dad. So, I swear I did everything I used to do when I was 12, except for the addition of getting a bit of knitting done. I cleaned the shop, did a little paperwork and sold stuff. Go me!

Of course my dad being just like me, he had to “do something” so he went to a couple of Halal stores in a quest for jerk sauce, veggies, and other odds and ends. I have a feeling I am making jerk chicken sometime soon.

My dad isn’t feeling 100% better, but I REALLY want to spend some time with my husband tomorrow. This week was completely out of whack, so we haven’t been able to spend a lot of time together.

I’ve been trying to be more excited about my little shuffle coming, but honestly, I am more interested in the current status of a tape drive I had to send back. It arrived and after unwrapping the antistatic foam, a few pieces fell out of it. I am guessing it is something that probably occured in shipping, but who knows. I am hoping that they can send me something to replace it. Wah, whine, whine… Anyone have some cheese?

For you Mary…

A kid is busted in the WoW forums for being up past his bedtime… by his mother (post #5). She happens to play and post there as well. Tee hee hee. (link via LYD miniblog).

There is an international trailer for Goblet of Fire floating around. It’s not great quality, but it has more scenes than the one we’ve seen in the US. I love the dancing scene in the great hall. I think I am more anxious about this movie than I was for any of the others. From the trailers I have seen, it seems much more appealing to me.

I managed to catch up to my list of things to do and now only have one little new addition and that is for a pro-bono site. I may have to wait and do it tomorrow. I am tired, really tired.

I forgot. I decided on and ordered the 1gb shuffle (thanks to Lisa and a customer at my mom’s shop). It will arrive by the end of next week, which is ideal. I really don’t have the time to play with it until then and I know I would be tempted.

Well, it would seem that the lack of internet last night and cable yesterday was due to something wrong with the cables near our house. Actually, it would have to do with something wrong in the line in the area that must not be named.

But, they have temporarily run a line from the main box to the corner and now we are zipping along. I’m getting ready to see if some of the channels look better.

Because of all of this, I am slightly delayed in getting any work done. /sigh
