Hey, check it out!
Mmm.
I can smell your brains, you know.
The power of the Jaguar continues to tempt all geeks.
On the most recent episode of TSS, they featured a House Call at Wil's home in SoCal. The spot was silly, but it was the phone interview that made me grin. expressmedscanada.com
He recently got an iBook running Jaguar, and is loving it. Do I smell a switch commercial in the works?
Go Team!
Awright, who the hell tried to fax my voice line at 4am this morning? I was sound asleep, and having a pretty cool dream, and you awoke me with that damned fax tone.
Arrrrgh! It's all your fault that I feel so damned tired right now.
*shakes angry fist*
Last night, I spent the evening with Andy and Mish... had a quickie BBQ dinner and watched Andy kick some good roller hockey boo-tay. 'Twas a good evening. The funny thing was, right before I got to their house (spending 40 minutes in rush-hour traffic from Santa Clara to SAN JOSE, for chrissakes), the alarm on my Treo went off. What could it be?
I had forgotten that many many months ago (try sometime in the beginning of summer), I had discovered that my culinary hero, Alton Brown, was going to be in Los Gatos. Argh! But being the good friend I am(!), I decided to stick with my plan to go watch the hockey game.
It wasn't a big loss, really. I had a lot of fun, and forgot about my frustration with the traffic and missing out on Mr. Brown.
So where does this tie in for today, you ask? Yeah, I'm getting to that.
Today, I spent a lot of the day catching up on the school work that I had put off for the past coupla days... yeah, I know I'm bad. I've been slacking cos I've been outta sorts since Kev has been outta town. Amazing how I've watched more teevee in the past 3 days than I have in the past 3 months. So today, I was pretty good about working on my studies, and not doing any blog reading or surfing until noon (taking a page from Ealasaid's book).
I had class this evening, and I was all done with my work, ready to go. So then I start doing my blog reads and some various site surfing. I happened upon this page on Mr. Brown's site, and discovered that he had yet another appearance in the Bay Area, but farther away than last night. Hrrm. Should I stay or shall I go? I thought that I'd be a good girl and head off to class... do the right thing. Yay me, good for me.
I drive to Cupertino, to discover class was cancelled. Blah. Hence tonight's rant. I was just trying to do the right thing!
It happens to everyone eventually.
I was just writing a lengthy post, and really getting into it, when my browser crashed and lost my post. Grr.
I don't know why, but I keep going back to IE, although I have Chimera set as my default browser. I think it may be because I have been too damn lazy to move my bookmark file over. I know, I know... such a simple thing, but I just never got around to it (no round tuit jokes, please).
I really don't feel like re-typing the entry. Sorry, dear reader. Maybe my thoughts will be even clearer tomorrow. :)
In relation to my post the other day about consumerism, I just found a pretty cool online documentary called No Logo (based on a book of the same name) discussing name branding. Good stuff.
I guess it's time for me to pick up this book... funny that Amazon is offering it with a copy of Culture Jam (which I already own). Excellent observations on our culture and consumerism.
I'm staying at the folks' house tonight. I can't sleep.
And I forgot how BADLY the cat passes gas.
Pheeeeyew!
I need to bury my head in a pillow now.
