Someone give Nomad Scry a kick, he’s posting on last weeks comments.
I can has fail.
I can has also has that fail
let the fun begin. install a SAN and VMWare servers today
Someone asked after Doctor Who Christmas on the previous board. Chris Hardwick has been promoing his next episode of the Nerdist TV show on BBC America “following the Doctor Who Christmas episode.”
879 comments for last episode. Great job guys!
w00t!
My head is all confused and stuff. Casting about in the archives, I noticed first that Ep 69 was prior to end of RBT, then I also noticed end of RBT was after beginning of Buffy Between the Lines.
Not how I had it framed up in noggin…
Then I think the last major writing was released over 2 years ago. I am starting a podcast venture, and will let everyone know when we start releasing.
The nice part is that I will have designated podcast production time set aside each week, so I will hopefully put voice to bits for other podcasts as well.
Debating between the mafia runner tale or more work in the RBT universe…
Should be an odd weekend, working every day (12 day week, technically). Got lots of serialized barcoded media to print, but completing it all will mean my audacious 7 day break straddling Chrismas can occur…
Damn that’s smart. Too bad most creators these days dont put even a 3rd of the effort in their creations. And if they do it rarely translates to screen or comics
Isn’t that the truth?
I think I’d have started a riot at Penn Station if my train had ever been 15 minutes late.
Happy Life Day! I’m off to a special charity screening of a certain holiday special to benefit Toys for Tots. I’ll attempt to pan by phone later…
Do Da Dipity!
Oh Secret Santa… how do you do the things you do!?!?!?

I thought I was behind when I was unemployed, but now, I’m never getting caught up with my podcasts.
Working from home would be cooler if I didn’t have to take phone calls…
I know how you feel. That’s why, with few exceptions, if I haven’t listened to a podcast within a week of it coming out, I delete it.

You CANNOT use Velveeta on Iron Chef, even if you’re Paula Deen.
Oh, nice! Tina Fey is a judge!
will she allow Velveeta?
She just might . . .
Why is a combination of Velveeta and Tina Fey oddly compelling?
(God, I hope she never does vanity searches for herself)
Velveeta! What can’t it do?
Be printer toner. God, that stuff is expensive. 🙁
CW: Hot In Cleveland
This show KILLS me – LOL!
Well, I think I vaguely remember watchin the Star Wars Holiday Special on-air, but I didn’t remember it. Now that I’ve seen it again, there’s a decent chance I had tuned out while it was on. I don’t know the precise airdate but I would have been no older than 7 at the time…
Ah, November 17, 1978, so I’d have been 5 1/2 years old, younger than Fox is now. I definitely would have playedd instead of watching for a lot of that show…
I distinctly remember watching it, but the only scene I recalled as a kid was Lumpy running away from a stormtrooper in the Chewbacca household.
Goodnight :Mushyyyyykkkk:
I have but vague impressions of that holiday special. I’m sure I should avoid it so as not to sear any of it into my memory.
Wise. You can never forget it. 🙁
Morning Pan
This time it’s my fault the show notes are late. I’m working on them now.
Jack, Jack, Jack. I had the survey Monkey link in my last show notes. I’ll include it again this week.
So the superintendent of hubby’s school has the little bluegrass band he’s started. He has asked hubby to be part of it. They will be playing for some of the schools sometime in January. It was really surreal listening to hubby practice You Are My Sunshine on the mandolin last night. It’s not part of his usual repertoire.
:metal: ?
I think it’s safe to say I’m one of the “couple of people” who said I’ll definitely be at the mmmmeetup
I see no show notes for the previous episode.
Jack now has the show notes for this week. Let’s see what happens. 😉
This week’s show is brought to you by the notes “A” and “F#” as well as a generous grant from the Treble Clef.
As further proof I have no life, I fully expect to reach the 100 hour mark on Skyrim this weekend. *sigh*
Will there be a play by play? Honestly it depends upon both my mood and the cat’s mood at the time. (more proof I have no life. The cat determines what I’m doing on a day to day basis)
which led me to the IMDB link for Candice Hillebrand whose credits include 2010’s “How to Make Love to a Woman” in which she apparently played “Terri (Lesbian 1)”
That’s this morning’s “The More You Know!”
I push your link J0e and I get “referral denied” :ermm:
Another thing. Hubby also took my music stand with him for today’s practice with the superintendent band (aka The Foundations). I can see him taking his stand but mine. How am I going to practice today? I think the superintendent of seven schools should be able to get his own damn music stand and not borrow one from us :dizzy:
Today’s grumpyness brought to you by A minor
On an up note, seem to be done work for the day. Yahoo! :biggrin: Now, even though it’s still dark outside, I’m going to open all the curtains in the house then watch last nights John Stewart and Stephen Colbert.
When next you hear from me, I’ll be in my alter ego DJ Bunny.
Will you look at that, my persona has changed
Impostor!
Well Pan, yesterday’s trip of hell is best forgotten, off to a gig tonight.
Sorry your trip wasn’t fun, Van *hugs*
Kinda neat: I posted a little post on my blog about a book I just finished and the author linked to it on his Facebook profile.
Good morning, y’all!
Ool Ess
+C
YEAH!!!
Awesome!
Nice! Which book/author, for those of us with semi-locked down web access?
I looked on her blog, Jack. It was The Sacred Band, book three of a trilogy by David Anthony Durham.
Something else I’ll have to get.
Know what I don’t like? When a movie or show will have an opening scene showing a character in peril or some action seven then they cut and go. (insert number) days earlier. Why not just start at that earlier point? Your going to go back there anyway.
And don’t go explaining about “the hook”. I know why shows do it. I just find it annoying
It wouldn’t be so bad if it was done infrequently, but they do it all the time now! I agree that it has gotten really annoying.

9 months earlier –
“C’mon baby, just this one time. I’ll pull out, I promise”
Hubby’s thought when I sent this link to him, “That’s just inexplicable.”
So this Tekken movie just had an I am your father. How strange is that?
So it’s the final battle. Our hero is down for the count. Can he come back?
Now everybody chant “Jin, Jin, Jin”
“Jin, Jn, Jin, whiskey”
Hey wait…
You know, this was an ok movie. Better than a lot of game adaptations I’ve seen
Although the “twist” after the credits didn’t work for me
There, addedEssBee’s book recommendation to my iPad. If I ever finish this Neil Stephenson book, I now have three more books to get to after the half dozen or so I’ve already got cued up
Bunny, Ed likes the Acacia books too – can’t go wrong!
I just want you to know that Atomic Wep for the iPad does not work as well since its update yesterday
Thanks!
We’re off of work today and being so-so lazy.
It IS great to be Slovak!!!!!!!!!!

Three Days Earlier – – cut to scene of mashed potatoes.
I’ll go ahead and say it: with gravy boat
Oh. We’ve moved on.
Sorry – it’s seared into my memory.

Uh…. I’ve got nuttin’

I love Airmiles. Most of my kitchen is furnished with Airmiles. Earlier my Boo asked for a GPS, I just ordered her one through Airmiles. It’s nice not actually spending the money. (note, I know I pay for it in the cost of items purchased to get Airmiles and it is an invisible cost/saving. I am an accountant by trade. I just like feeling like something was free)
Why do I watch the noon news? It’s always frustrating… Except the weather forecast for the weekend. Above freezing for the next couple of days or so
Am now at my computer. I think it’s time to frame someone for a jewelry heist.
Later Panites.
Yes, definitely a strong recommendation on the Acacia books. I still need to get to the third one here. I’ve had too many credits build up in my Audible account lately, so I’ve been hitting some shorter titles before I take on another doorstop size fantasy tome.
I understand what you’re saying Ed. While I’m quite enjoying the Neil Stephenson book, Reamde, it’s taking *forever* to get through his huge ass book
What’ve you been reading lately, Ed? Anything good to pass along?
I just started Miss Smilla’s Feeling for Snow – I’ve seen the Julia Armand flick, but never read the book. It’s one of Sly B’s all time favorites, and I can already see why. I think it’d fit into the Nordic Noir genre along with The Millennium trilogy.
“in January 1989, a mentally ill man named Kenneth Noid held up a Domino’s in Georgia, claiming that the chain was personally attacking him. Thankfully, no one was hurt, and Domino’s abandoned the creepy pizza-hating Noid shortly thereafter.”
In case you were wondering.
Damn, talk about being anNOID by something.
Talk about having no respect for your fellow humaNOIDs
Talk about being paraNOID
Uh..talk about… uh… no way of using eicosaNOID here…

There are a lot of counter-intuative aspects about flying a plane, such as pulling back on the yoke prior to landing.
I am amazed at how completely Tiki Bar TV has disappeared.
Not only did the episodes come to an inexplicable stop … but a year later the interwebs are still devoid of any new as to why. Usually someone talks to someone and something gets posted SOMEWHERE.
Not in this case though. The web site and old episodes are still there and functional, there just aren’t any updates.
Strange.
Well, Johnny Johnny is an Exec VP for Animation at Disney Television, I understood that to be a big factor…
Yes, looks to be mostly Jeff M. (Dr. Tiki) still living in Vancouver, and Kevin (Johnny Johnny) living in LA…
Thanks for the update.
I was afraid there had been some tragic drinking accident!

Books
Just finished “Solaris” a few days ago. Supposed to have been the authors approved and definitive translation into English.
Interesting concept and very well read by Alessandro Juliani (Gaeta from Battlestar Galactica).
Still, the story part wasn’t terribly engaging, the ending was mostly a non-ending, and large stretches of it were more of a textbook with the lead character giving us lots of history lessons about the planet and it’s effect on humanity for the previous several hundred years.
I actually just finished “Go! Dog. Go!”.
Stop snickering.
I think you can finish the book in less time than it takes to watch the movie.
Took advantage of a 3 books for 2 credits special on Audible. From the selection available, I went with
On Basilisk Station – first Honor Harrington novel. I’m about five hours into this one so far.
The Forever War
Snow Crash – which I know Jack and others have spoken highly of.
All books I would like to read. I’ve started Snow Crash, but haven’t finished it. I started reading a friend’s copy at a retreat once, and stayed up until 2 AM because I couldn’t put it down. 🙂
CD – a 1 year 10 month old Barley Wine.
It was supposed to be ready after one year of fermentation but it was just rather meh.
Give it 10 more months and it is starting to come to it’s senses!
I REALLY want to clean out my office but I’m just no good at parting with “stuff”. Especially stuff that still works but is of no use … like that Mac Performa or that Mac Power PC.

If Yiu haven’t picked up these games before, now is the time.
Ed, Snow Crash is also EssBee approved! I saw that sale on Audible, but my credits are really piling up, so I don’t need more for less at this moment. I think the next audiobooks I’ll get will be:
– Stephanie Plum new one for my mom-in-law
-I am Number Four and the Six one — we liked the story in the movie and thought the books might be fun
Snow Crash is required reading.

When buying my ticket at the cinema for ‘Another Earth’, I asked for ‘Another World’.

As for the film, all very worthy, with a rather good ending.
I thought the storyline between the characters was more interesting than the one about the alternate earth
Currently suffering the horror of the “pre-lit” Christmas tree.
I don’t watch older made Christmas shows on tv anymore. They were all made at a time when there were less than ten minutes of commercials per half hour. I find it very frustrating to see a show with scenes cut from them to make room for commercials.
Actually, this even happens with relatively newer shows. Hubby and I were surfing the channels and Buffy’s Once More With Feeling was on. They cut an entire musical number to make room for the extra commercials
LOL. I can’t believe I clicked on that to watch but I did.
I do believe men and women can be friends. I have male friends who are just friends. And no I don’t just mean the gay guys. I don’t think they want to sleep with me. I am friends with lesbians who don’t want to sleep with me either. And just because a guy friend WOULD sleep with me if he could doesn’t mean he can’t just be my friend. I have had guy friends whom I was the one who wanted to sleep with them not the other way around and I remained their friend.
I think its not the best idea to only ask college students. At that age, the hormones are a little insane. I think a mature adult can have a friendship with someone of the opposite sex. College is a overly sexual environment.
Dre sez: Hugh do you think men and women can be just friends?
Hugh sez: 2 people of the opposite sex (or same sex and same sex orientation) who are both single and available will eventually have sex. But if 1 of the people is married or attached it is possible to keep it non-sexual. Wanting to be friends with someone implies that you like them, the physical attraction if not there in the begin can grow from a good friendship.
Dre Sez: you just proved the stupid video right
Hugh sez: sorry 🙁
🙂
Just wanted to wish everyone happy holidays from Chicago
Hope everyone is safe, healthy, happy and good

Er, ah, um. Right. Sorry. Chirp.
Did she just give you the bird?
I would never do that to Jack.
I’m one of those that gets early, so by Jack’s standards I am a bird
It’s rainy here in SoCal, too. We’re having one of those days with technical difficulties left and right, both internal and external. Other than that, though, things are OK.
Damn USPS!!! They seem to hate me.
Or maybe it’s Jack they hate. I can’t decide.

So my boss accidentally deleted an entire folder off the main hard drive. She’s very lucky I keep a back up copy on my harddrive. While I’m sure there’s a backup somewhere in the system finding out where would be more trouble than it’s worth.
Did you make her sweat it out just a little? :devil:
Saving her like that should result in a nice Christmas bonus!
She didn’t know I kept a backup on my own drive. She was very happy.
As for bonus, I’m taking a week and a half off starting next week. That’s bonus enough for me
You can tell it’s winter, every other commercial on tv seems to be for some sort of cold or flu remedy
Thank you to Nomad Scry for my DPSS gift! It’s been sitting here on my desk all day begging me to play with it and I haven’t had time! So now I’m going to go home and indulge my inner geek child.
Subject of e-mail I received today –
“Breaking News – CDN Small expected to climb on forth coming announcement”
Any of you CDNians know any smalls?
At 5’2″ some might consider me small. I also know a small kitty.
Does any of that help?
Is there a forthcoming announcement involving perhaps some sort of assent?
Alright, DPSS gift is away in the mail today. So, if you hadn’t gotten yours yet and were starting to wonder, well, you’ll just have to wonder for a few more days 🙂
Still working on making the 11gb of space I need to upgrade my OS.

Hmm. I may need to throw a flag for excessive commas on that last one.
Hey Deadpan
Having a friend come over for a visit later this morning.
Another version of itunes! How many frikken versions are there? (rhetorical question)
Greetings from the depths of the 12-day work stretch. Going to be skipping the Sigler appearance put on by Hennepin County library tonight, as it has been a crazy stretch of days…
I think I might need another shower. We’re pulling out the tree this week so I thought I would give the upstairs a once over with the vacuum. I don’t usually do the vacuuming in the house and it’s a newer vacuum. I was figuring out how to empty the canister. It turns out, the bottom pops off when you push a certain button, dumping the contents all over… well, me. I think I’ll leave the vacuuming to hubby from now on.
Jack, any luck tracking down your package?
*cough*
*Beavis & Butthead mode*
huh huh huh he said package huhuhu
yeh yeh like, hehe has he checked in his pants hehehehe
So my big brother was laid off today… Anyone in the area that knows of any places who may be looking for a manufacturing engineer/manager type, let me know. He’s got all the creds and experience… he just needs a job in which to use them…
According to hubby, this is how he expects his school Christmas concert to be like tonight. epic fail.
To the pain!

Once again, I will be hubbyless this evening *sigh*
I thought I was all done my Christmas shopping. I really did. Then my grandmother calls me last night, she wants me to get some Old Spice so she can give it to her boyfriend. I really was hoping to avoid the mall for the next few weeks. Oh well *shrug*. That’s what makes me the good grandchild…wait, I’m the only grandchild.
Today is the Evil, Inc. holiday party/luncheon. I’ve opted for the “strongly suggested” festive dress by wearing a nice red top with some Christmas cleavage showing.
Gramps is about right EssBee, her boyfriend is in his eighties.
I am a big proponent of strongly suggestive cleavage!
(side note) I had a friend in school who, while having a conversation about lunch items, mistakenly used the word “cleavage” when he meant to say “roughage”.
For the remainder of my life, those two words are now inexplicable intertwined. If I hear one mentioned the other automatically pops into mind.
That’s disturbing!
I get stupefied.
Yes. It is.
Is Christmas cleavage different from Hannukah cleavage?
Tits the season no matter which way you bounce
Shalom!
Woa!
I just had a GREAT idea for a greeting card.
It’s an Hasidic Jew with the black hat and long coat, on skis, coming out of the starting gate … underneath it says “Shalom!”
It’s not a play by play type of movie, just something I want to see.
I enjoyed that one, Bunny.
Me three.
Meanwhile, I do have some things I need to do.
Later Panites! :ninja:
I went to three stores and none of them had Old Spice. One had Old Spice classic but not the Old Spice my grandmother wanted. I told her she’s now on her own for that one. I guess it’s coal in my stocking this year.
Maybe you can get her Posh Spice instead?
Yo, Ill tell you what I want…
What you really really want?

I’m back at work. I like it here.
So, in the realm of personal stuff…
Luna moved into a nice new home yesterday. I think the owner I chose is a perfect match for her and I’ll get to keep up to date with pics and stuff.
So I get this message yesterday around 4pm… It went something like this –
“Hello, Cj. I found this black lab running around in the rain so I brought her inside to play with my chocolate lab. They are having a great time. When I called about her, your name is assigned to her chip with your phone number so give me a call if you’d like to come pick her up.”
— yay for microchips.
Apparently, even though she’s over a year old now, she’s still jumping, now 7-foot tall fences. She chewed through a leather collar to find her freedom and romp in the rain. I called the lady who adopted her from me and she was unsurprisingly worried and out looking for Luna when I called. She’s home safe again.
Damn dog.
I’m going to go grill burgers and drink a beer.

It’s like Apple was trying to avoid some sort of Congressional “anti-competitive” action by having you intentionally break the OS by yourself.
“Dear happy Mac user,
Due to complaints from the PC industry regarding the stability of your OS … we need you to put this “upgrade” disk in your computer and click on the “upgrade” button. This should successfully KILL your computer, bringing us more in line with the PC world, and providing some income for the lonely MAC repair guys who are still lurking out there. Thanks!”

My head is all confused and stuff. Casting about in the archives, I noticed first that Ep 69 was prior to end of RBT, then I also noticed end of RBT was after beginning of Buffy Between the Lines.
Not how I had it framed up in noggin…
Then I think the last major writing was released over 2 years ago. I am starting a podcast venture, and will let everyone know when we start releasing.
The nice part is that I will have designated podcast production time set aside each week, so I will hopefully put voice to bits for other podcasts as well.

Have you not seen the leaderboard? My lead over him grows each week! 😉
No I meant with a 2×4…
2×4? Seriously? You’ve seen his hands haven’t you? I’d need at least a 3×6!

The creator of The Joker has passed away. There’s a really good description of why he created him as a foil for Batman.
http://io9.com/5866373/rip-jerry-robinson-creator-of-batmans-nemesis-the-joker
Damn that’s smart. Too bad most creators these days dont put even a 3rd of the effort in their creations. And if they do it rarely translates to screen or comics
Isn’t that the truth?
I think I’d have started a riot at Penn Station if my train had ever been 15 minutes late.
Riot? Quiet.

This show KILLS me – LOL!
Well, I think I vaguely remember watchin the Star Wars Holiday Special on-air, but I didn’t remember it. Now that I’ve seen it again, there’s a decent chance I had tuned out while it was on. I don’t know the precise airdate but I would have been no older than 7 at the time…
Ah, November 17, 1978, so I’d have been 5 1/2 years old, younger than Fox is now. I definitely would have playedd instead of watching for a lot of that show…
I distinctly remember watching it, but the only scene I recalled as a kid was Lumpy running away from a stormtrooper in the Chewbacca household.
Goodnight :Mushyyyyykkkk:
I have but vague impressions of that holiday special. I’m sure I should avoid it so as not to sear any of it into my memory.
Wise. You can never forget it. 🙁

This time it’s my fault the show notes are late. I’m working on them now.
Jack, Jack, Jack. I had the survey Monkey link in my last show notes. I’ll include it again this week.
So the superintendent of hubby’s school has the little bluegrass band he’s started. He has asked hubby to be part of it. They will be playing for some of the schools sometime in January. It was really surreal listening to hubby practice You Are My Sunshine on the mandolin last night. It’s not part of his usual repertoire.
:metal: ?
I think it’s safe to say I’m one of the “couple of people” who said I’ll definitely be at the mmmmeetup
I see no show notes for the previous episode.
Jack now has the show notes for this week. Let’s see what happens. 😉
This week’s show is brought to you by the notes “A” and “F#” as well as a generous grant from the Treble Clef.
As further proof I have no life, I fully expect to reach the 100 hour mark on Skyrim this weekend. *sigh*
I’m going to be watching this sometime today http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411951/
Will there be a play by play? Honestly it depends upon both my mood and the cat’s mood at the time. (more proof I have no life. The cat determines what I’m doing on a day to day basis)
So that link included the photo that caught my eye – http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTY4MDk5MzU3MV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMTA4MzIwNQ@@._V1._CR96,0,390,390_SS99_.jpg
which led me to the IMDB link for Candice Hillebrand whose credits include 2010’s “How to Make Love to a Woman” in which she apparently played “Terri (Lesbian 1)”
That’s this morning’s “The More You Know!”

Another thing. Hubby also took my music stand with him for today’s practice with the superintendent band (aka The Foundations). I can see him taking his stand but mine. How am I going to practice today? I think the superintendent of seven schools should be able to get his own damn music stand and not borrow one from us :dizzy:

Kinda neat: I posted a little post on my blog about a book I just finished and the author linked to it on his Facebook profile.
Good morning, y’all!

YEAH!!!
Awesome!
Nice! Which book/author, for those of us with semi-locked down web access?
I looked on her blog, Jack. It was The Sacred Band, book three of a trilogy by David Anthony Durham.
Something else I’ll have to get.
Know what I don’t like? When a movie or show will have an opening scene showing a character in peril or some action seven then they cut and go. (insert number) days earlier. Why not just start at that earlier point? Your going to go back there anyway.
And don’t go explaining about “the hook”. I know why shows do it. I just find it annoying
It wouldn’t be so bad if it was done infrequently, but they do it all the time now! I agree that it has gotten really annoying.

I love Airmiles. Most of my kitchen is furnished with Airmiles. Earlier my Boo asked for a GPS, I just ordered her one through Airmiles. It’s nice not actually spending the money.

Yes, definitely a strong recommendation on the Acacia books. I still need to get to the third one here. I’ve had too many credits build up in my Audible account lately, so I’ve been hitting some shorter titles before I take on another doorstop size fantasy tome.
I understand what you’re saying Ed. While I’m quite enjoying the Neil Stephenson book, Reamde, it’s taking *forever* to get through his huge ass book
What’ve you been reading lately, Ed? Anything good to pass along?
I just started Miss Smilla’s Feeling for Snow – I’ve seen the Julia Armand flick, but never read the book. It’s one of Sly B’s all time favorites, and I can already see why. I think it’d fit into the Nordic Noir genre along with The Millennium trilogy.
“in January 1989, a mentally ill man named Kenneth Noid held up a Domino’s in Georgia, claiming that the chain was personally attacking him. Thankfully, no one was hurt, and Domino’s abandoned the creepy pizza-hating Noid shortly thereafter.”
In case you were wondering.
Damn, talk about being anNOID by something.
Talk about having no respect for your fellow humaNOIDs
Talk about being paraNOID
Uh..talk about… uh… no way of using eicosaNOID here…

I am amazed at how completely Tiki Bar TV has disappeared.
Not only did the episodes come to an inexplicable stop … but a year later the interwebs are still devoid of any new as to why. Usually someone talks to someone and something gets posted SOMEWHERE.
Not in this case though. The web site and old episodes are still there and functional, there just aren’t any updates.
Strange.
Well, Johnny Johnny is an Exec VP for Animation at Disney Television, I understood that to be a big factor…
Yes, looks to be mostly Jeff M. (Dr. Tiki) still living in Vancouver, and Kevin (Johnny Johnny) living in LA…

Books
Just finished “Solaris” a few days ago. Supposed to have been the authors approved and definitive translation into English.
Interesting concept and very well read by Alessandro Juliani (Gaeta from Battlestar Galactica).
Still, the story part wasn’t terribly engaging, the ending was mostly a non-ending, and large stretches of it were more of a textbook with the lead character giving us lots of history lessons about the planet and it’s effect on humanity for the previous several hundred years.
I actually just finished “Go! Dog. Go!”.
Stop snickering.
I think you can finish the book in less time than it takes to watch the movie.
Took advantage of a 3 books for 2 credits special on Audible. From the selection available, I went with
On Basilisk Station – first Honor Harrington novel. I’m about five hours into this one so far.
The Forever War
Snow Crash – which I know Jack and others have spoken highly of.
All books I would like to read. I’ve started Snow Crash, but haven’t finished it. I started reading a friend’s copy at a retreat once, and stayed up until 2 AM because I couldn’t put it down. 🙂
CD – a 1 year 10 month old Barley Wine.
It was supposed to be ready after one year of fermentation but it was just rather meh.
Give it 10 more months and it is starting to come to it’s senses!
I REALLY want to clean out my office but I’m just no good at parting with “stuff”. Especially stuff that still works but is of no use … like that Mac Performa or that Mac Power PC.

– Stephanie Plum new one for my mom-in-law
-I am Number Four and the Six one — we liked the story in the movie and thought the books might be fun
Snow Crash is required reading.

The answer:
http://bcmoney-mobiletv.com/view/932/Charlie%20Brown%20Christmas/
I don’t watch older made Christmas shows on tv anymore. They were all made at a time when there were less than ten minutes of commercials per half hour. I find it very frustrating to see a show with scenes cut from them to make room for commercials.
Actually, this even happens with relatively newer shows. Hubby and I were surfing the channels and Buffy’s Once More With Feeling was on. They cut an entire musical number to make room for the extra commercials

Why Men and Women can’t be “friends”.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_lh5fR4DMA&feature=endscreen&NR=1
LOL. I can’t believe I clicked on that to watch but I did.
I do believe men and women can be friends. I have male friends who are just friends. And no I don’t just mean the gay guys. I don’t think they want to sleep with me. I am friends with lesbians who don’t want to sleep with me either. And just because a guy friend WOULD sleep with me if he could doesn’t mean he can’t just be my friend. I have had guy friends whom I was the one who wanted to sleep with them not the other way around and I remained their friend.
I think its not the best idea to only ask college students. At that age, the hormones are a little insane. I think a mature adult can have a friendship with someone of the opposite sex. College is a overly sexual environment.
Dre sez: Hugh do you think men and women can be just friends?
Hugh sez: 2 people of the opposite sex (or same sex and same sex orientation) who are both single and available will eventually have sex. But if 1 of the people is married or attached it is possible to keep it non-sexual. Wanting to be friends with someone implies that you like them, the physical attraction if not there in the begin can grow from a good friendship.
Dre Sez: you just proved the stupid video right
Hugh sez: sorry 🙁
🙂

It’s rainy here in SoCal, too. We’re having one of those days with technical difficulties left and right, both internal and external. Other than that, though, things are OK.

So my boss accidentally deleted an entire folder off the main hard drive. She’s very lucky I keep a back up copy on my harddrive. While I’m sure there’s a backup somewhere in the system finding out where would be more trouble than it’s worth.
Did you make her sweat it out just a little? :devil:
Saving her like that should result in a nice Christmas bonus!
She didn’t know I kept a backup on my own drive. She was very happy.
As for bonus, I’m taking a week and a half off starting next week. That’s bonus enough for me

Greetings from the depths of the 12-day work stretch. Going to be skipping the Sigler appearance put on by Hennepin County library tonight, as it has been a crazy stretch of days…
I think I might need another shower. We’re pulling out the tree this week so I thought I would give the upstairs a once over with the vacuum. I don’t usually do the vacuuming in the house and it’s a newer vacuum. I was figuring out how to empty the canister. It turns out, the bottom pops off when you push a certain button, dumping the contents all over… well, me. I think I’ll leave the vacuuming to hubby from now on.
Jack, any luck tracking down your package?

According to hubby, this is how he expects his school Christmas concert to be like tonight. epic fail.
To the pain!
Morning Pan
Once again, I will be hubbyless this evening *sigh*
I thought I was all done my Christmas shopping. I really did. Then my grandmother calls me last night, she wants me to get some Old Spice so she can give it to her boyfriend. I really was hoping to avoid the mall for the next few weeks. Oh well *shrug*. That’s what makes me the good grandchild…wait, I’m the only grandchild.
To the Interwebs!!!

Have them send it to you.
Funny thing, she specifically said not to get the classic.
Marvellous:

That was beautiful, Van.
Gorgeous! Stolen and shared on FB!
Old Spice reminds me of my beloved gramps.
Today is the Evil, Inc. holiday party/luncheon. I’ve opted for the “strongly suggested” festive dress by wearing a nice red top with some Christmas cleavage showing.
Gramps is about right EssBee, her boyfriend is in his eighties.
I am a big proponent of strongly suggestive cleavage!
(side note) I had a friend in school who, while having a conversation about lunch items, mistakenly used the word “cleavage” when he meant to say “roughage”.
For the remainder of my life, those two words are now inexplicable intertwined. If I hear one mentioned the other automatically pops into mind.
That’s disturbing!
I get stupefied.
Yes. It is.
Is Christmas cleavage different from Hannukah cleavage?
Tits the season no matter which way you bounce
Shalom!
Woa!
I just had a GREAT idea for a greeting card.
It’s an Hasidic Jew with the black hat and long coat, on skis, coming out of the starting gate … underneath it says “Shalom!”
I think I’m going to watch Limitless this afternoon (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1219289/)
It’s not a play by play type of movie, just something I want to see.
I enjoyed that one, Bunny.
Me three.
Meanwhile, I do have some things I need to do.
Later Panites! :ninja:
I went to three stores and none of them had Old Spice. One had Old Spice classic but not the Old Spice my grandmother wanted. I told her she’s now on her own for that one. I guess it’s coal in my stocking this year.
Maybe you can get her Posh Spice instead?
Yo, Ill tell you what I want…
What you really really want?

I’m back at work. I like it here.
So, in the realm of personal stuff…
Luna moved into a nice new home yesterday. I think the owner I chose is a perfect match for her and I’ll get to keep up to date with pics and stuff.
So I get this message yesterday around 4pm… It went something like this –
“Hello, Cj. I found this black lab running around in the rain so I brought her inside to play with my chocolate lab. They are having a great time. When I called about her, your name is assigned to her chip with your phone number so give me a call if you’d like to come pick her up.”
— yay for microchips.
Apparently, even though she’s over a year old now, she’s still jumping, now 7-foot tall fences. She chewed through a leather collar to find her freedom and romp in the rain. I called the lady who adopted her from me and she was unsurprisingly worried and out looking for Luna when I called. She’s home safe again.
Damn dog.
I’m going to go grill burgers and drink a beer.
Therapy.
Just don’t do it the other way around. That never ends well
According to the news, my car is not on the top ten most wanted list for thieves in Canada. Shocked am I
Hey jack, if I do show notes tomorrow, will they be posted. :biggrin:
Is it just me? Every time the sports guy mentions the midget tournament un-pc thought come to mind
Okay, my procrastination ends now.
I’m inserting the new OS disk.
Hopefully you’ll hear from me again. :unsure:
At last, the Nexus comes to America….
MARCO!

PASSIVE!

At least my erection is for a good cause…

Just picture the sweaty, hairy comic book artist hunched over his easel, salivating while he’s drawing those pictures.
(Drawing board, I know. Not all comic book artists are sweaty, hairy guys, I know.)
Erection gone.
Proceed as usual.

Goddamn good.
I mean 400.
Wow
I have received my gift from my Deadpan Secret Santa. Thank you! :happy:
I’m sorry that I haven’t sent mine out yet. I will send it out as soon as I can. I’ve been stuck at home with a stomach bug all day today, though. 🙁
Good night, Pan.
The heater in my house is full of fail.
aaaaaaand I’m back.
That is … $95 later and I am back.
Rhetro’s re: to my earlier post made me laugh.
It’s like Apple was trying to avoid some sort of Congressional “anti-competitive” action by having you intentionally break the OS by yourself.
“Dear happy Mac user,
Due to complaints from the PC industry regarding the stability of your OS … we need you to put this “upgrade” disk in your computer and click on the “upgrade” button. This should successfully KILL your computer, bringing us more in line with the PC world, and providing some income for the lonely MAC repair guys who are still lurking out there. Thanks!”
