| Okay, so a little bit behind the times (though I don't know by how much). I'm testing out some of the Windows Live apps that are out there. "Gasp!" Such a big stretch for me, I know. I get a feeling that I may end up just sticking with Semagic and/or Deepest Sender, depending on my mood. | |
|
| Ok. Glad to be working, but I feel my soul slowly dying. | |
|
| Coming soon: An actual post! Honest. Really. | |
|
| Getting mentally prepared for the upcoming week. | |
|
| Away. Taking mind off of things. | |
|
| So, I filled out a form and got a little pack of free media from LightScribe. I wonder if I'll ever use it. | |

You know, I can't believe I hadn't really seen lolcats. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
YES, I am listening to a Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers duet! In an alternate timeline, I'm sure I would have been VERY country. Good thing my mom didn't marry the one guy that was big time into country dancing and the rodeo.
Yup, it could have happened. - Tags:memes, music

| Facebook (actually the Compare People app generated) automated e-mail such as the one below sure do NOT make my Friday. Social News for February 29, 2008
Here is what your friends think about...
... your strengths:
merriest most absentee best dancer
... your weaknesses:
happiest most adventurous
Other social news
Changes in your ranks: 1 place down, now #5 merriest 1 place down, now #12 best dancer 2 places down, now #12 most absentee 2 places down, now #15 hardest worker 1 place down, now #17 most attractive
So, I'm merry yet unhappy? Actually, I can definitely see that. I do have my mood swings that jump out of some sort of emotional singularity field that I generate around me. Most absentee? Geez, I didn't realize my tendency to be distant was so obvious. But best dancer? I wonder who's seen me dance? Is there some sort of Server Monkey YouTube dance video out there that I am unaware of? Unless, of course, someone counts WoW dancing. I do a lot of that. - Tags:melancholy

| The next leap day Friday Seven, that is (not between posts)... The Smiths - Girlfriend in a Coma Tracy Chapman - Fast Car Dire Straits - Walk of Life Elton John - Rocket Man Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Nirvana - All Apologies David Gray - Only the Lonely What an odd assortment on my random list here. I do find it odd that David Gray recently appeared on The Torture Playlist. | |

| An odd question, I know, but has anyone ever used the GN 8110 USBxp with their GN Netcom headset? The Logitech gaming headset I purchased a while ago for WoW is just weak. I can hear others and game sounds with no problem, but whenever I try voice chat it's a mess akin to my social experience in middle school--and in life in general. Now, my work experience with the GN Netcom headset at work has been really, really good so I figured that would translate to VOIP on my PC, right? I would hope so. Anyone? | |

| One day early 'cause I'll have a four day weekend w00t!
Tom Petty - Learning to Fly Cheap Trick - I Want You To Want Me The Police - Murder By Numbers Eminem - Sing For The Moment The Riverdales - Back To You The Killers - Somebody Told Me Lisa Loeb - Wishing Heart
It seems as if Winamp had a bit of an AOR little section there. I can't believe Tom Petty is playing the Super Bowl half-time show. Unless I was misinformed--I don't really follow football at all, so if I'm off base, please let me know.
Even though, it's Cheap Trick's song, I always think of Letters to Cleo in 10 Things I Hate About You.
Great, now I'm also thinking of Murder By Numbers with Sandra Bullock...though this song was used in Copycat, wasn't it?
Mmm, skipping this one...and pretty much am done for now.
I am going to ENJOY my long weekend. | |

| As I washed my hands in the office restroom a few moments ago, I noticed a container of Lysol Country Scent Disinfectant Spray.
This, in turn, led me to wonder what country this Lysol smells of exactly.
Lysol is no country I've ever heard of. - Tags:weird

| Because this kind of entry is exceptionally easy for me, and I actually keep a text file of my Friday sevens, here you are.
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - Crossroads Obie Trice - Cheers Descendents - Pervert Matchbook Romance - My Stories Your Alibis Ozzy Osbourne - Bark At The Moon George Harrison - When We Was Fab Descendents - Hope
Wow, Winamp has yet again managed to jump around in crazy ways--with the exception of repeating Descendents, which I found odd. Whatever happened to Bone Thugs? Obie Trice is on my playlist thanks to my coworker sharing his external hard drive with me.
Now, Descendents...I think the first time I heard them was in a skate video of some sort. Then I remember them played in Pump Up the Volume. I was VERY disappointed that the soundtrack did not include Weinerschnitzel on it. How I even tracked down the song, I have no idea. From the movie credits perhaps?
No idea how Matchbook Romance got on my list.
Ozzy, well my stepfather introduced me to Ozzy so there's that. One of the people that works in the same work area has Ozzy's Crazy Train as their phone's default ringer. Rock!
Lastly, George Harrison. I have to say I like this song better than I Got My Mind Set On You--despite liking the video for that song at one time.
Recap complete.
I think I'll post last week's as well and I will have at least have it posted. | |

| Hey...a seven. Woo!
Black Flag - Gimme Gimme Gimme The Jazz Jury - Car Train Biz Markie - You Say He's Just a Friend Will To Power - Baby, I Love Your Way Urban Dance Squad - Fastlane Anne Hathaway and Jesse McCartney - Don't Go Breakin' My Heart Enya - Storms in Africa II
There are SO many Black Flag songs that I really enjoy that it's kind of difficult to find one I don't like. Now, if only I can get a copy of Who's Got the 10 and 1/2? on MP3. It was the first Black Flag I ever bought--during a Christmas break trip to Gatlinburg way back when. That tape wore out long ago.
Car Train always reminds me of Swingers, since it is on the soundtrack and all. I wish I could remember where I'd originally heard it (or think I heard it).
"Yooooooooou! Got what I need"! No further comment needed, right?
Wow, I remember Will to Power getting tons of airplay.
You know, I always thought UDS was going to be HUGE. I'm not sure why they didn't breakthrough. Guess that's why I'm not an A&R person.
While I prefer Elton John and Kiki Dee's original version, this version from Ella Enchanted will do. Abby really loves it. She actually just likes the song, no matter who sings it. Well, unless I try to sing it, I'm sure.
Enya. Don't judge me, okay? | |

| To be honest, I barely made it to midnight--aided by Turistas on TiVo.
Which was a mistake, but I had to learn this on my own. I am looking forward to Battle For the Planet of the Apes. I may find out that hope for that one is ill-advised as well.
It was nice to sleep in for a bit. It should be noted, however, that sleeping in now consists of sleeping until 8:00 a.m. where it once meant I would sleep until one or two in the afternoon. - Location:Home
