Bad memories, sad memories

Saturday, July 12th, 2003

I don’t know if this is the worst PMS ever, or whether I’m going over the edge. For the past 2 days I’ve just been obsessing about bad times.
A couple of off-hand comments on others’ blogs yesterday about my bad birth experience, and boom, I was up until dawn reliving it, [...]

A letter to the adolescents in my neighborhood

Friday, July 11th, 2003

Dear fuckstains,
I suppose you think that it’s cute, setting off firecrackers all night. You think it’s funny to set off M80s one at a time while driving slowly past the house. You think that putting a gross of black cats in a tin garbage can and lighting them is great fun.
Know what I [...]

Comments pondering

Thursday, July 10th, 2003

You know, I find that I have a hard time staying current with blogs that don’t have comment systems. Does anyone else feel like that? I wonder if it’s a subconscious need to hog the spotlight, or that I prefer interaction, or something else entirely. I mean, there are some wonderful blogs [...]

Log stats

Thursday, July 10th, 2003

I installed the most awesome server log statistics program last night. It’s called AWStats and it’s nice and free. Configuration can be a little confusing to those who aren’t into that sort of thing, but once it’s in it’s a joy to behold. My “recent referrers” script hasn’t been working very well [...]

Another sign of the impending apocalypse:
Christopher Walken is front-runner to play Willie Wonka in a Tim Burton-directed remake.

Utter banking frustration

Thursday, July 10th, 2003

Microsoft announced last month that it was discontinuing Internet Explorer for the Mac, saying Safari was better and that Mac users should use it instead. Ok, fine. I’ve been using Safari for the past few weeks and really enjoy some of its features, especially the tabbed browsing.
But.
Apparently neither of my banks got the [...]

Response

I started writing this as a comment to one of The Hestia Chronicles recent posts but it grew so big that I didn’t want to spam her comments window:
Wow, that quote is beautiful. I’ve been reading some pro-anorexia sites lately (not because I’m anorexic, more that I have an insatiable curiousity) and they are [...]

Phew

At some point while I was napping this afternoon, and hub was watching the kids downstairs, he ran up to get them some food. By the time he went back down, they had discovered a basketful of perfume I had forgotten was down there, opened a bottle, and sprinkled it everywhere. All three [...]

Quickie weight thing

Tuesday, July 8th, 2003

Normally I keep my weight loss stuff and my blog stuff separate, but I just spent days working on an Excel spreadsheet for weight loss and measurements and posted a copy available for download. You can read about it in this entry on my weight loss blog.

at 6 in the morning when you still haven’t gotten to sleep and you’re trapped watching noggin with an almost-2-year-old who won’t sleep because she has a stomach bug, the temptation to make up alternative and rather rude dialog for creatures like maisy the cute little mouse and miffy the cute little bunny and oobi [...]
