Horoscope was being hijacked from another site and it looks like they either died or changed their code. I guess you get what you pay for.

Okay...we all know who originated the recipe for "Flying Spaghetti"; but did you know there was the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster???

Birthday Trauma -


So, I get home from work and Alek had made me a cake, very sweet girl... but Ian isn't home. So I ask, where's Ian? "I don't know. He didn't come home from school" so I call around to his friends' houses - nobody has seen him. I ask one of the kids that catches the bus with him, Ian wasn't on the bus home. So I spend 2 hours driving all over hell and back looking for him, worried because not one of his friends has seen him since school let out. I called the police, who don't think I should worry before dark, but said they'd come out to the house and talk with me, but they didn't rush or anything, half hour later Ian got home and they weren't there yet so I called and said nevermind. Ian missed the bus, thought he knew the way (its about a mile away), didn't know the way and got himself hopelessly lost, cell phone at home and too much male chromosome to ask directions. He was scared and tired (very heavy backpack on day one of school and 4 hours since the bell rang) but happy to be home.

Happy Birthday to you!!! Happy Birthday to you!!! Happy Biiirrrthday, Dear Taaaa-miiii! Happy Birthday to you!

My waste pipe is clogged... at least that's what the plumber people said on the phone. All I know is that my drains all drain directly into the basement instead of going through the pipes like good drains do. Damn delinquent drains anyway. AND I thought that way cool code insurance I bought was so great turns out to be only ever useful if there's some kind of catastrophic loss, like the house burning to the ground, they'll rebuild the house and not charge me extra for "betterment" ecause the plumbing is to code. Plumber crack will be here tomorrow morning (more unpaid time off from work for me) and he'll tell me just how much damage I'm in for. I need to call the realtor and find out just what my "home warranty" does for me.

Happy Birthday to me!

On the up-side... Andrea is taking me to Music on the Vine for a wine tasting with a local wine-maker and I'm looking forward to it. Also going out dancing at the Balcony and Emerald on Friday with a couple of friends :) All are welcome to join, I plan on having a good time.

School starts tomorrow... kids are so "blah blah blah"

I was a nerd I guess, I always really liked the first day of school.

Orthodontist must need a new boat -


I finally found a local ortho who will finish Sandy's teeth. He said the same thing as the guy in New Jersey; she has at least a year left, probably more. So, she's upset. The NJ guy didn't give me any refund of the $5k I paid for treatment, and the new guy is going to take another $2.5k. So, I'm upset.

I need a second job looks like, at least for a little while.... like a year. Maybe I'll be a Mystery Shopper!

Evil Genius Chronicles is an internet podcast, a downloadable (radio) show with I don't know hoa many thousand subscribers. it's pretty good the host Dave Shlusher is pretty interesting and he plays indi music on his show now and then I've been listening to Evil Genius Chronicles for a few months and after hearing an interview he had with the drummer of a band he had played about how the digital age is changing the face of music production. I thought hey, he's talking about me. so shot an email into the digital abyss with links to my online stuff. and semarily forgot about it. Fast forward a month or two. So I'm having lunch at my favorite alfresco bistro with evil genius in my earbuds. As he starts to introduce his next featured artist, I'm thinking "cool another independent artist I might not hear anywhere else" I listen a little further OMFG it's me! "Ruby your a sexy girl..... "Evidently he heard about "Ruby" on Kill Your FM just a day or 2 before I sent him the email.

My last director's wife is in serious but stable condition today after going into seizures & falling into a coma. She was pregnant. They had to take the baby by C-section 6 weeks early in order to save his little life. She underwent emergency surgery to remove a malignant & metastacizing from her brain. Her prognosis is uncertain at best. Please pray for her. She's really young - under 25 - and has a 3 year old daughter besides this new little son.

I was just wondering what, if anything I have ever done that will still be around in 100 years.

Today is Indy's birthday. I cannot believe she is one today. I am picking up her cake after work today. My friend is coming over for dinner. She doesn't know it yet but she gets a little bit of steak tonight. She likes her adult dog food. She has been picking it out and leaving the puppy food in the bowl. Don't worry, no hats at the party.

I hate the dentist.

Brian broke his tooth & needs a crown.
Tylar - yes, Tylar - has 4 cavities.
Assuming Rachyl's checkup goes well, I need to come up with $500+ by next week to pay for them all.


I hate the dentist.


(At least Coda's teeth are good.)

Yes, I know ... I'm feelin' pissy. http://www.myopinionon.blogspot.com Grr.

Time to waste? Smack the Penguin!
My best measurement was 321.1

I can't believe I just turned down the opening act position for Los Lobos.
Keith was in a spot I really wish I could have helped him out but alass Paul is out of town. And I'm sure Jim works tonight and realisticly, I don't think I could have pulled everyone together at a moments notice even if they were availible.

Tami, Can I talk you into letting me record a Cello part for this song?

How sadistic are you? This gal is limber and gets stuck every now and then. Unstick her by left clicking on your mouse and moving your trackball or wheel. You can fling her from side to side or throw her against the bubbles. Take out your aggression for all I care!!

Lost Woman

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered altitude & spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS & replied, "You're in a hot air balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude & 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."

She rolled her eyes & said, "You must be a Republican."
"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, & I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

The man smiled & responded, "You must be a Democrat."
"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "You don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, & you expect ME to solve your problem. You're in EXACTLY the same position you were in before we met, but somehow now, it's MY fault.

Everything is falling apart.
"Ron something is making a noise in here" Grab a spool of bailing wire.... The ice maker never stopped making ice, it only stopped making ice cubes seems if the feed line just dumps down the back of the machine you get an ice-berg in this case one that grew large enough that it interferred with the fan in the freezer hence the noise.

Go to the parking lot to leave work yesterday and the car won't start. the vanity light on the visor shouldn't be enough to kill my batery in a day but never the less. That set me back $120 seems the Beemer takes a special battery. Someone tell me it's going to get better

A rant on RFID
