So on the "news" *coughNancyGracecough* they were talking about how Michael Jackson is not the biological father to his first 2 kids. These are my thoughts.
- Way to pick now to break this "news".
- I say "news" because I was AWAKE in science class and know that those kids aren't supposed to be creamy white with straight hair.
- So he's not the biological father. Big Whoop! He was probably a very nice dad. (Minus the balcony incident and the weird names).
- I really hope that his will specified who gets to keep them. This'll be like Anna Nicole all over again.
Okay. I gotta go to work.

I wish I were better at expressing myself. My head is hurting and the tears are flowing, but the words can't seem to appear on the screen.

My nephews have to keep a diary for English class for a week. Their diaries look like what their teachers DON'T WANT. A listing of their events. So I wrote something up so tehy can see what kind of detail their teachers are looking for.
Enjoy.
Dear Diary:
Today started out REALLY early for me. The house phone rang at 12:37AM. Since I was sleeping right next to the phone, I picked it up, still half asleep. No one answered and I remembered getting really mad. Since I had been sleeping, the nice thing would be for someone to say why they were calling. My mom was upset too and since she couldn’t get back to sleep, she tried to figure out who was trying to call. The phone in her room said that Lirian, her friend, had called. She dialed her number, but a half-awake Lirian answered the phone. She hadn’t called us either. The phone with the answering machine said that a Delaware phone number had called. I didn’t recognize the number right away. My mom looked in her cellphone to see if the number matched any person. It didn’t. I looked in my phone and it was my friend Vivian’s cellphone. I called her and asked if she had called me. She answered “Well, I didn’t, but my butt might have.” Oh, I was late-night butt-dialed. “Butt-dialing” is when someone inadvertently calls you because their cellphone is in their back pocket, and it unlocks itself and starts dialing. After that we couldn’t get back to sleep!
I finally fell asleep and woke back up again at 5:30AM. I had to drive my mom to work. It was really cold, but I decided to go barefoot, only with socks on. I wasn’t going to get out of the car, so it was a good shortcut to getting fully dressed. I drove her to Siemens, in Glasgow, which isn’t very far from where we live. I waited until she walked into the building before I left the parking lot. I drove back home and had some breakfast. I had a bowl of Peanut Butter Puffins cereal. That cereal is just a little bit sweet and very crunchy. My friend, Vivian, the one that called me, had served me a bowl at her apartment, so when I saw it at the store one day, I couldn’t resist buying it. After that I brushed my teeth and went right back to sleep. I set my alarm clock for 9:00AM because I had to get ready to go visit the dentist.
I woke up at 9:00AM and started getting ready. I made the bed and got my clothes to take a shower. After I was ready, I went to the computer room and wrote, on a piece of paper, the things that my niece and nephews had to do for the day. They had to make their beds and finish their homework. Just because it was President’s day, didn’t mean that there was no work to do. I left the house at 10:30AM.
I was very nervous to go to the dentist today because it was my first time getting a cavity filled. I’m old! I’m not supposed to get cavities! The dentist. Dr. K, told me this when she found them in my X-ray during my last visit. I got there at 10:50AM and had to wait..A LOT! I got even more nervous. They took me in the back and first numbed my teeth. My upper pre-molar and molar were going to get worked on today. Those are the 2 teeth behind the canines. They put Novocain in my cheek. I felt it get red and kind of swollen. The doctor sat me up in the chair ad and told me to rinse. I didn’t know why, but then I could taste the really bad medicine taste. It was hard trying to rinse because the left side of my upper lip wasn’t moving. I got water on my shirt because I didn’t know the effect was going to be so sudden! I tried to put some water in my mouth, and when I couldn’t close my mouth right, I started laughing. Yes, laughing. I started choking a little and spit everything out in that little dentist sink they have next to the chair. I told myself “Get it together!” but that still didn’t stop me from laughing once I had to rinse out all over again. The doctor came back in and put this funny thing in my mouth that she called a “Tooth pillow”. It was a sort of jelly mouth-opening device that had a light and the suction machine all in one. It made me go “WOW!” since they didn’t have those back when I had braces. The holders were hard and no fancy gadgets were included.
Then the drilling began. Dr. K. had to drill two small grooves and then across the surface of the tooth to get my cavity out. It’s kind of like putting up drywall. You need to cut out a bigger hole than what you have to make it whole again. The drilling process made me very nervous. I couldn’t feel anything, but the sounds were very loud and it smelled like something was burning. Then they had to put water in while they were drilling. The water was very cold and was making my teeth very sensitive. The doctor took out all the gear that was in my mouth and I asked if they had warm water. Sadly, it comes in one temperature, cold. They were almost done, Thank God! My pre-molar got filled with a composite filling that looks white like my teeth. The molar was filled with the stronger, silver-colored amalgam filling. I was so tired after that whole experience, but I had more things to do. I still had to pay! Oh no!
I checked my cellphone and saw that my mom had called me. I called her back and she wanted to know how my visit to Dr. K. had been. I told her everything. And she laughed about the lip thing. I left the dentist’s office and went to the mall. I had to return some cosmetics and find some new ones. As it turns out, I had to return the new ones I had bought because the lady at the counter gave me the wrong ones, but I didn’t figure that out until later. After the mall adventure, I went and picked up my mom from work. We came home and bumped into my sister, niece and nephews, who were on their way out. My mom and I decided to go back to the mall and trade in the wrong cosmetics.
We finally got to dinner. We stopped on the way back from the mall at Amore. It’s a little pizza shop down the street from our development. Their calzones are so good! This time we decided to be different and got pizza. We got a white pizza with mushrooms and a pepperoni pizza. When we got back, the rest of the family wasn’t back yet, so we had dinner at the dining room table and watched jeopardy. We yelled some right and some wrong answers at the screens. That’s the best part about playing at home…you’re at home so it’s okay to have wrong answers! You’re not in front of the national viewing audience.
We finished off the day with “Kyle XY”. It’s a show on ABCFamily, and it’s my recent favorite. Kyle is a boy, who is found wandering around the streets of….I forget what town they’re in, but it’s very mysterious and there’s a lot of drama going on now because Kyle is just trying to be a normal teenage clone genius. Aren’t you intrigued? I highly recommend it, just as long as you stat with season 1.
We shall meet again tomorrow diary, it’s time for bed!
Later!

Attack ~ 30 Seconds To Mars |
] |
So I'm sitting here in my mom's house, alone. Everyone else is at the movies "The Day The Earth Stood Still". I opted not to go cuz I'm going back to B-more with Vivian...whenever she makes it back to DE, I should've gone..but it's too late now. Mental Note: CALL EARLIER! I DID get to watch Earth Girls are Easy which is always cracktastic! No, really. AWESOME!
Anyways, the reason for my posting...
I get random songs stuck in my head from time to time. So I was checking my e-mail and 30 Seconds to Mars popped into my noggin. So I'm looking for the appropriate video, but I couldn't remember the song name, so I clicked ont he first one that may have sounded familiar. Which is The Kill. Sadly, that wasn't the one I was looking for, but I watched the video anyways. Okay, so it's loosely based on The Shining, but umm I DO NOT remember the fake bear fellatio in the movie..let alone on Jared Leto. OMG!WTF!?!?
It's at 3:23 to 3:40. HAPPY WATCHING!
Whoops, that sounded wrong..but whatever.
Later!

I hope everyone had a good Pavo (turkey) day. I did. We have lots of food leftover, so you're more than welcome to come over and eat us out of house and home. No, seriously.
It was only ALL of us. I think 6 is enough for a party. We made food for a small army though. We were expecting company, but they bailed on us. So, we still have all this food.
I am THANKFUL for:
1) My Family: They're crazy, and still manage to be awesome. Most of the time. The rest of the time, I just kinda have to put up with them.
2) My Friends: They're also crazy and like to yell at me when I'm stupid (you know who you are!)
3) My Co-Workers: They are all very nice and they enjoy helping me develop professionally. It's win-win there!
Happy Pavo Day!
Give thanks to those you love!

Almost Easy ~ Avenged Sevenfold |
] |
I got this video on a Bulletin on MySpace and it made me feel all awesome on the inside.
Thought I'd share.
Almost Easy By USC Band
The show is pretty easy, but the music is way awesome. I like how they got the low horns to play the melody and it kind of sounds like Matt's voice. (It's all "Hello, my name is GRAVEL, I live in Matthew's THROAT!") And at one part they put their capes over their shoulders and it looks like the band is on fire like in the real video. Yay!
Later!

I've finally made it to Texas!
I'm driving an HHR from AVIS, it is red. It's a weird sort of car.
The work thing was good. I learned alot about something I knew very little about. But the important things 1) it exists and 2) it works are tehre.
It's big and looks somewhat like California.
There's flagpoles with flags EVERYWHERE!
The Churches are HUGE!
Jenn-Chan-Sama's Parent's house is so adorable. I want one.
The room I'm in has very good circulation...srsly, it's freezing in here and the AC isn't that low and the fan isn't on.
Austin mall is huge. They have a "Texas Store" WIN!
Oasis is an amazing restaurant. The view is AMAZING!!!!! And the food is okay (Pulled Pork chile and Guava Margarita are WIN!)
What am I missing?
I'll post pictures when my camera isn't halfway around the room.
Also, what is up with the revamped info page? I'm not sure on where I stand on this yet.
Later!

So my nephews have to do a science project about Newton's Law's of Motion.
First, I need to know if anyone knows a program (preferably free) that I can use to take the track vocals out and just leave the music. If all else fails, I'm sure I can find a midi, or just play it in the background...
I need some singers. I'm working on the song parody of 2 songs 9well like 4 at the moment, but whatev) I need people willing to record themselves singing it so we can use the track in the educational, yet entertaining video
Also, no more coffee with pumpkin pie after 3. WHOOOO!

Random computer DISASTER! If any of you can help me..I'll bake you cookies! (Everybody loves cookies, right?)
So my Desktop ( HP Media Center PC m490n) has been acting up lately. Sometimes when it shuts down and/or restarts, it won't load Windows. It stays FOREVER on the Windows loading screen, it never actually loads anything. It DOES load the Safe Mode version.
We took it to get it looked at, but BOTH places said that "there's nothing wrong with it". WTF?
It was on, but SOMEONE turned it off. Grr. After much tinkering and trying to get the thing to work (an a few injuries along the way), I went to Safe Mode and told it to do a Disk Check on the next start-up. Well, it went to the disk check at the 3rd try and it finally loaded Windows. I'm afraid to turn it off because I won't get it back again.
My cousin also downloaded the CiD pop-ups and I can't get rid of them. I'm trying a Malwarebytes scan and removal.
Also, if I make a "Recovery disc" does it save my data?
Help! Please?

Mr. blue Sky ~ ELO |

I had this song stuck in my head, so I thought I'd share.
Sun is shinin' in the sky,
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin'
Everybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day.
Runnin' down the avenue,
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city on the streets
Where once was pity,
Mr. blue sky is living here today.
Chorus
Mr. blue sky, please tell us why,
You had to hide away
For so long where did we go wrong.
Hey there mr. blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do,
Everybody smiles at you.
Hey you with the pretty face,
Welcome to the human race
A celebration mr. blue sky's
Up there waitin' and today
Is the day we've waited for
Chorus:repeat
Mr. blue you did it right,
But soon comes mr. night,
Creepin' over, now his
Hand is on your shoulder,
Never mind I'll remember you this way.
Chorus:repeat

Sometimes I wish I had TV so I could watch this commerical.
It makes me laugh SO HARD every time.
:)
Random? A bit. But I kept thinking about car insurance today becuase I took Defensive Driving, AS A GROUP, at work today. It was yay-fun! And that's the actual yay-fun, not the sarcastic one.
I should really be sleeping because I need to go to the WAD tomorrow in a Govm't car and possibly without orders. OH NOES!!!
Also, we lost the internets today at work. Greatest IT e-mail ever? It went out to everybody!
Subject: Our Internets, they are losted.
Team,
I'm emailing to inform you of what the vast majority of you already know. We
currently do not have internet access for viewing web-pages(other types of
access have gone unaffected). We are working on elevating the issue to those
who have control over it(formerly CEEIS). We'd please ask that you refrain
from submitting any further tickets regarding this issue.
We thank you all for your patience in this matter.
PS. The subject line of this email was intended to evoke a smile and thus
was deliberately mispelled.
Kind Regards,
Joe
Also, "misspelled" is misspelled. LOLOL!!!
Okay. I'm gonna go away now.
Later!
