Random Thoughts: January 3, 2007

** yesterday's 39* was charming. nice & brisk. made it feel like Winter. this morning, 26* on the thermometer & a windchill of 17*? that's taking it too far. i realize that many of you have it colder. i am not saying this is extreme cold by any means. i grew up in Connecticut, spent 25 years there in fact. i know how bitterly cold it can get. my point is: it is *supposed* to be that cold in the Winter there. here? not so much.

** FYI: there is no longer a Disney-MGM Studios. it is now known as:

for now. rumor has it we are in for another name change before all is said & done. which is why Michelle & i have just resorted to calling it The Park With The Hat.

** the little Troll has struck again. here we are, January 3, and i already want to kill him in 2008. i was chatting with Daniel about it over email. if you use or are familiar with Gmail, you know that they put little ads in the sidebar of each conversation pertaining to what it thinks you are talking about. Daniel just pointed out to me that the following ad was at the top of our list:
The AntiChrist: Free Book
Discover What John's Disciples Knew About His Book of Revelation
VoiceOfElijah.org/Daniel
i about just peed my pants laughing at that one.

** this photo on the FOX Sports baseball page totally cracked me up. i know that it was photo-shopped, but doesn't it look like Cheerio Mouth is terrorizing Captain Intangibles? ::snort::


** i really need one of these for my apartment. the problem is, i don't want to put holes in my walls & eventually lose the security deposit. but i still wish i had something like this though.


** what a fantastic idea the Doorganizer is, huh??

as my grandparents would have said: someone was using the ol' bean.

** do you know what i spent a good portion of yesterday doing? making sure all my photos were uploaded (a third form of back up for my photos, after saving them on an external drive & having them burned to cd) & all the albums organized properly in my Picasa Web Albums. yes, i am that big of a nerd that this makes me exceedingly happy.

** just a little sunshine for Colleen who lives in Seattle. ;-) and for the other Colleen too, who also happens to live in Seattle.
