24 (late)

Late (kinda), Allergies, Bad Boys 2, Hurt, Cable, Software reviews, Cousins are gone, and My Birthday!.
Blogger Post #24

It’s the first time, but I did it.

I’m late.

Technically not though. I generally post a day late, but only by like an hour, not 23. Oh well.

My allergies were REALLY bad last night, went to bed early.

I did see Bad Boys 2 last night though. REALLY good movie. Definitely see this in the theater, don’t wait for the DVD (If your waiting for the VHS, I will kick you, no, really). You don’t need to have seen the first one, but it was a good movie so see it anyway, got to help a little.

So I hurt my back, and hit my shin with a sledge hammer, well now I whacked my knee getting out of the shower. Dislodged my knee cap or something. I suck.

Finally got CATV and Ethernet upstairs. My TV cable was kinked though, and the reception is suffering. Am going to check the connections, try our amplifier first, but will probably need to re-run the cable.

Downloaded Konfabulator and CandyBar, Both really cool. Konfabulator puts Java widgets on your desktop. You can choose from 1100 pre-made or make your own, anything from weather to calendars and mp3 controls to system uptime monitors (at 3 days, 10 hours and 29 minutes now). CandyBar replaces all the finder icons system wide. Folders, disks, the trash, network files, audio files, movies, toolbar icons, all of it. Konfabulator is free, though they do ask for a donation. CandyBar is $12 something shareware, free for like 2 weeks.

My cousins and everyone is gone now, (woohoo). My other uncle is supposed to be in town in a couple weeks for his high school reunion. Haven’t seen him in 7 years, since our first year on Wagner.

BTW, my birthday is September 8, just 36 days away (HINT HINT). I will be 21 and no, I will not buy you alcohol (without a bribe anyway HINT HINT).

Well thats all for now. Back to normal schedule, as if I hadn’t missed.
Number 25 on Tuesday

Blogger Post #23

I dont want to do this, I want to go, but you are making me do this, so I am going to do it poorly.

I want to move the blog. Nothing wrong with it, I just think I am going to try and put on Apple’s server. Something like homepage.mac.com/nslyax/blog. That way it would be with my website, and I could move to movable-type maybe, for more features. I don’t know.

Just a few more days and the boys will be gone. Thank god.

I hurt. Hurt back BAD yesterday. Lidocaine patch and a soma later at least I was asleep and couldn’t tell I hurt. Definitely hurts again though. Then today I missed and whacked my shin with a 5 lb. sledge.

Saw DareDevil. Pissed me off, but a good movie. Won’t give anything away.

Got my T-shirts in. Want to see them you got to ask, I don’t want to explain. Anyway though, I bought one on ebay, and she had a second that hadn’t sold, so shipped to me. Cool.

Ok, off to lay down because I hurt. LAUREN, I NEED A MESSAGE!!!!!!!!!!

bye,

remember: it takes 3 lefties to make a righty, or something like that

Sorry Again

Anniversary mishap, Missing puppy, Apple is screwy, and Work.
Blogger Post #12

Well, back again. I would like to begin by mentioning that anniversary thing again. Perhaps I didn’t make the hoopla that I said I would here, but it was an exciting event for me none the less.

My puppy (if a 50 lb. 6 month lab can be called such) is gone at the vets. She was taken in about 8 this morning to be fixed, but due to several emergencies at the vets they were unable to get to her, so she will need to stay an extra night. They should perform the surgery tomorrow morning and we can pick her up on Wednesday. I miss her.

Apple is now screwing with us again. They released updated G4 systems in May (I think) running on a new motherboard and 1.0, 1.25, and 1.42 GHz. When the G5s were announced a week ago, they dropped the 1.0 and 1.42 GHz G4s though. No big deal, but it seems they also went back to the previous motherboard. They claim this is to “provide the lowest cost computer possible” and “to allow users to continue OS 9 booting”. I see this as bull crap, but there isn’t much you can do.

Tomorrow I need to work with my mom, and of all places were doing landscaping 2 houses over form our old house (our ex-neighbors neighbor). My mom’s friend that sold our house, is selling this one as well and “needs the appearance of the yard updated” (you should see it, its only a slight understatement, hah).

Well, that would seem to be it, I’ll see you later,
