right, three things, I suppose because threes happen to work...

First, we're going over to a semi-friends for her birthday...

Second, matt needs to update his blog...although i don't he actually reads this regularly and there's no comments, so I can't elicit a commenting frenzy....eh, well, slacker...worse then, um, well everyone I read...

Third, here's da Friday Five, or rather there isn't....so I guess I'll have to make up my own or something....

1)Favorite single player game

Half-Life

2) Favorite two-player game

Chess

3) Favorite weapon in a game

Uh, the shotgun (a little Doom/Quake/Half-Life joke with the numbering)

4) Favorite card game

Rummy or Euchre, although Euchre with the in-laws gets scary....

5) Favorite Multi-player game

Half-Life, all the way....

the post below has been edited by me as of now....see included revision below....

Well Adam shaved his beard... But prior to completely shaving it off he went for the biker dude moustache.....Scary to say the least! I would post the pics here but he will kill me... so if you are really interested in seeing them email me. christa_j.at.sbcglobal.net! lol

a) you can't post pics exactly (at least not here) and b) spam catching plain old e-mail!!! (which I fixed) and c) by all rights I should delete this post now...

I am still alive, my sinuses are still in rebellion, and I hate the weather...

I am so tired, I cannot even properly operated a mouse...it's bad...between my sinuses and being up at 5:30 this morning (which I get to do tomorrow to), I am worn out. I keep clicking the wrong links and going sites I already have open in another tab...d'oh....well, right now, I'm typing and the leaving to go to class...but the idea is there.

Also, beware the ides of March...that's why today sucks and I'm sticking to it...of course it did snow today and I'm buried at work...school isn't too bad, just finding time to get it done between work and, uh, work....I blame the annoying sleep thing.

I've officially hit chicken and egg RE:software development...do I start the database for the program or the program that needs a database? Digging out P200 for MySQL server and putting FreeBSD on it, that much I know I need at least.

kludge has internet....apparently the wireless card must be in PCMCIA Slot 0 to work....

I am posting in Lynx from PuTTY (ssh for Winblows basically) logged onto the iBook...I'm such a geek.

kludge (as the Gateway 2000 Solo 2100 will be known as hereafter) will see a wireless card and register it as "eth0" It will not connect and give me link and I have no clue why...perhaps I could upgrade to redhat 7.3...however, I don't think I have enough RAM for that to fly....so it's not a paper weight, it just just pissing me off and I'm subtlely reminded why I bought an iBook...most all this nifty heavy duty *nix stuff with an actual, usable GUI...mumpf...I should install Borland on her Gateway and get programming estimating software...then I could buy many toys.

Riiiight...no other news per se; sick ("Well, flu, I can fit you in Sunday morning until about noon, gotta run"); on spring break; same old, same old at work (weeeee, overtime, both my blessing and curse)

Come on now, don't you want to see?
This thing that's happening to me
Like moses has power over sea
So you've got power over me

Come on now, don't you want to know?
You're a refuge, somewhere I can go
You're air that, air that I can breathe
Cause you're my golden opportunity

And oh, oh yes I would
If I only could
And you know I would
And baby I, oh baby I
I wish

Come on now, don't you want to see?
Just what a difference you've made in me
I'll be waiting oh no matter what you say
Cause I've been waiting for days, days, days

And oh, oh yes I would
If I only could
And you know I would
And baby I, oh baby I
I wish
I wish

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
If the sky's gonna fall down, let it fall on me
If you're gonna break down, you can break on me
If the sky's gonna fall down, let it fall on me
If it's gonna rain down, it can rain on me
It can rain on me

went to a wedding reception for someone Christa knows from school...hung out with philosophy department people and the we left at 9...then went to the store and rented some movies...now i'm being lazy and watching movie instead of reading or something...ah, well...

Having spent a total of 25 hours in the car two weeks ago, some funny quotes did pop up:

"This is a no doing what I just did zone" - Me, changing lanes in Cinninati

"Don't worry, it's leather, it'll wipe off." - Me, again, on food in the car

"There were some Sienfieldian moments back there, where you just wanted to slap someone" - Jean, on the conference

"Philosophizing in Memphis" - Jean, singing...repeatedly...incessantly...

"I think I'm allergic to cotton" - Christa, on cotton fields

of course, i can't remember anymore...

The FreeBSD CD refuses to boot...it's late, I'm tired, defintely something to be messed with this weekend...ugh, all I wanted was a boot....oh, well, on the upside, the battery seems to work and the only other problem I've found is a sticky space bar...

downloading and burning FreeBSD for a Pentium 120 Gateway Laptop I basically picked out of the trash...got from work for free while scrounging speakers...other than a dead strip on the right side of the screen, it seems pretty functional and I can always hook up a moniter. The TFT screen is basically shot, which surprises me slightly although I knew early color LCDs were fragile...oh, well, have to see what happens when it gets FreeBSD.

It's been a rough week and I've been in bad mood because of it...ugh...time to regroup and rethink after the BG disaster...

Well the waiting is over and the verdict is in... I got rejected from BGSU's PHD program. I will not be attending BGSU. I am thinking that I amight as well just give up.... With children beginning HS in the fall I might as well resign myself to being a nothing grunt like everyone else

Once upon a time this was our song and we danced to it every evening.

Dave Matthew's Band

Crash Into Me

You've got your ball
you've got your chain
tied to me tight tie me up again
who's got their claws
in you my friend
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock
and sweet you roll
Lost for you I'm so lost for you

You come crash into me
And I come into you
I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream

Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare boned and crazy for you
When you come crash
into me, baby
And I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream

If I've gone overboard
Then I'm begging you
to forgive me
in my haste
When I'm holding you so girl
close to me

Oh and you come crash
into me, baby
And I come into you
Hike up your skirt a little more
and show the world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more
and show your world to me
In a boys dream.. In a boys dream

Oh I watch you there
through the window
And I stare at you
You wear nothing but you
wear it so well
tied up and twisted
the way I'd like to be
For you, for me, come crash
into me

I miss dancing with you, AJ.

Okay does anyone else out there remember the two smartass old guys that made all the smartass comments in the audience on the Muppets??? My hubby in his infinite wisdom has found a site that has sound clips from the Muppet show and is taking great pleasure in playing them.... UGH

HAHAHA ...... did not forget my password... It was the user name that I had momentarily blocked out... And Ann's wrist did hurt immediately after breaking it 2.5 weeks ago when doing a cartwheel at a dance and attempting to stop so that she didn't kick her b/f in the face. Complained for a week about it bothering her but never really swelled or anything so I thought she had just jammed it. It was only after banging it hard again on Saturday that it swelled up and hurt her enough to cause me to be concerned... Oh well...

Him as Elaine???? Hmmm well I guess that would make me Jerry since Jerry and Elaine did have that fling at one point... But I really don't see Jean as George!
