Watch Heroes?
Yeah, Kermit in the limelight again.
And for the record, I don’t know anyone named Gordon there and I don’t remember an apartment building burning down (or even being there for that matter… frankly, I think they have long term motels… but no real apartments.) Its a really small town.
heh.
…and I laugh every time I see those mountains they say are in Odessa. (Can you say “We save a lot of money by filming just outside of LA?”)
There are no hills.
Hell, there are no mounds in Odessa. That beer can in the middle of the road is the high point in town.
I think I’ll make
my famous cornbread for Imbolc.
I’m too pooped to do much more.
Do you drink Coke?
If you do and you aren’t participating int he My Coke Rewards thingy, would you mind sending me your codes?
I want one of these… they are way too cute.

“Teacher faces prison due to porn popups
40 years in prison because of popups? It sounds pretty ridiculous, but isn’t that far from the truth. Due a piece of outdated software and a lapsed license, a computer at a school supposedly was inundated with popups, many with porn on them. End result, a teacher gets in trouble for “risk of injury” to a minor. The teacher is facing time in prison for her actions, which supposedly led to this. According to the school, the only reason it happened was because Symantec had failed to send the school updated licenses: “
[TechSpot]
So wait, the school said they didn’t have good software (and why didn’t their IT department have that kind of URL blocked?), that their computers weren’t protected (and in my mind, I call that negligence) and they want to put a substitute teacher in prison for child endangerment for 40 years?
A bit much and misguided.
I’ve seen really innocuous sites have lots of popups like this.
I better hear of an appeal on this. Either that or I better hear of this judge being removed from the bench forthwith… or I might have to get indignant and do something noisy. (Though frankly, there are people out there who are indignant and who are a bit more conversant with the particulars and the facts out there already. So I feel a bit better now.)
Yes, Midland as in Midland/Odessa

| What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland
“You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio. |

well that explains the search
“Jeremy and I are expecting a baby in early August. We had an ultrasound today and the little fucker was doing flip kicks the entire time. It also made me throw up on the plane last night, and then again in the car, and then five more times at home.” [jerbet (xeney)]
someone recently searched on and found my journal with “xeney pregnant”.
Well congratulations on your impending Leo baby!
PACKING LIST: Fredericksburg, Tx
I was gone for a long weekend, and in Texas you can get a range of weather in a very short time. There’s a saying that “If you don’t like the weather in Texas, wait 15 minutes.”
Well, yeah, it happened.
I stepped out of the airport in San Antonio and started sweating – it was in the 70’s. I shucked off my down jacket and scarf (and pondered if I should have brought shorts in addition to the lightweight yoga pants that do almost as well as shorts.)
Later on that weekend it was in the upper 20’s and they shut down the airport just shortly after I flew out due to ice and freezing rain.
So saying that, I was actually completely comfy just having brought a backpack like this for the whole weekend (but mine cost $14 at Ross. The shoe pockets on the side are very handy since I put a pair of tennies in there and wore my Crocs on the plane).
I really liked this for the plane since the new regulations for the liquids in a ziploc bag rule is making me re-think my packing technique for toiletries. I put the ziploc in the top most zipper pocket so I can hand it to the stern looking security guard and I put my somewhat girly flowered half moon dry goods bag (well, whatever is left that isn’t liquid) in the mesh area previously defined for a basketball. Heh. Fits really well actually.
I also had a Longhorn’s cap in the mesh pocket, but somehow it ended up on Bud’s head instead of mine as I flew back home, so it wasn’t there on the trip back. =)
4 days in the Hill Country:
I know it seems like a lot, but frankly when I visit my mom (even for a 24 hour stretch) I have to have clothes from anything as dressy as dinner at a really posh restaurant down to running around in the mud with the poopers.
I also managed to fit all of this because all of these items by themselves are rather thin. I layer them for warmth when it is cold and leave them single when its warm. It doesn’t hurt that I tend toward the wool stuff from REI. Yes, its an investment, but I find them and snap them up when they are on sale and I wear them non-stop, so I think I am getting my moola’s worth.
The only thing I thought might have been good was one more of the white tshirts (Hanes vnecks) and my khaki yoga pants as well since I live in them.
*These are great because they have about 12 gazillion pockets to put my plane tickets, ID for security. Then later I can put my Mylo and plane toys in the pockets so I don’t have to get into my bag when I’m trapped in my seat by a sleeping, drooling person.
you know
as much as I’d like to run off to Fredericksburg, TX and live in my Tumbleweed Tiny home… I don’t know what I would do without Trader Joe’s on a semi-regular basis.
how to make me happy
tell me that Crowded House is getting back together to tour again.
I will FLY places to see them again!
steak fiend
for some reason now she meows for steak when she used to just look all offended when I offered it to her.
I suppose it is a bit much…
I was going to buy myself the plans for one of the Tumbleweed Tiny Homes for my birthday (and this year I am taking my birthday off from work-maybe that will be my present to myself.) but I think the plans are a bit much to spend right now.
Maybe I’ll just buy myself some sushi instead.
well, its not easy being green

Here’s the new location for that bank acount scam…
Now conveniently located in the middle east since I guess Africa wasn’t happening enough.
Dear
I am MRS HABIBAH ABDULKALAM from Kuwait. I am married
to Late Akber Abdulkalam of blessed memory who worked
with Kuwait Embassy in Sudan and Benin Republic for
Twelve years before he died in the year 2000. We were
married for eighteen years without a child. He died
after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
After his death I decided not to re-marry or get a
child outside my matrimonial home.
Since 4 years after his death, i have been battling
with both cancer and
fibroid problems. When my late husband was alive, he
deposited the sum of $7.6Million (Seven Million six
hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with a bank and till
date this money is still with the bank. Recently, my
Doctor told
me thatI would not last for the next three months due
to cancer problem.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this
fund to either an organisation or a reliable
individual in your person who shall utilize
this money to better the lives of the less privileged.
I want you to use
this money in all sincerity to fund churches,
orphanages, widows and the
destitutes.
God’s benevolence has encouraged me to take this bold
step. I took this
decision because I dont have any child that will
inherit this money and
my husband’s relatives has been very hostile and
unkind to me since after
my husbands death. So I dont want my husband’s hard
earned money to be
misused by them or be used in an unholy manner.
Hence the reason for taking this bold decision, I know
that after death
I will be with God the most beneficient and merciful.
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am
going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of
the Lord, Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will
fight my course and I shall holdmy peace.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the
contacts of the bank. For legitimacy, I will also
issue you a letter of authority that will prove
you as the true beneficiary of this fund. I want you
to always pray for me, my happiness is that I lived a
life of a true devoted christian worthy of
emulation.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing
for another
organisation or individual for this same purpose.
Until I hear from you, my dreams will rest squarely on
your shoulders. May the almighty God continue to guide
and protect you.
Regards,
MRS. HABIBAH ABDULKALAM.
DONT FORGET, Always pray for me
I have this theory
that if the universe sees you having a decent day that it will step on your head.
well, at least that’s what its felt like for the last several years.
