I can finally quit my day job.
Because by golly I’ve got one.
I think pretty much everybody’s already in the know, but today I started my new job at work. I’m now the prestigious “Assistant Program Director/Music Director.” So I go work earlier, and get off earlier. That’s really the only big difference compared to what I’ve been doing. I’m still scheduling the music for 97.5. That’s almost fun. But if you’re ever heading through the area, I’m on 2p-6p Monday – Friday, instead of nights.
So there ya go!
Do Not Try It!
Ok, Matt and Andrea… Tis’ the season to keep secrets from one another!!! So, be strong Andrea, and no matter how much Matt pesters you… DON’T give in!!
And you might as well, not even try asking Matt for any information. He doesn’t really know anything. We didn’t tell him any specifics. Just had some general questions that needed answered.
And, Matt, please leave poor sweet little Andrea alone. She doesn’t know ANYTHING. And even if she did, she wouldn’t tell you! Hee hee.
Merry Christmas!
Christmas, Animal Crossing style!
Have you checked into your Animal Crossing town lately? It’s Christmas-time! The ground is blanketed in snow and they have the lights on the trees…it’s just so cute! Don’t forget to start collecting all the clothes so you can visit the reindeer dude on Christmas Eve and get the Xmas set of goodies!
12.7.05I think I figured out why it still runs.
Earlier I had reported that my car was running due to some kind of devine providence from God. But the more I think about it, the more I tend to think the exact opposite.
I’ve come to the conclusion that my car and I are locked into a battle to the death. It’s recently been about 3 degrees when I get off work at night, and my car will start and run fine, but the heater doesn’t work AT ALL. It just blows cold air. The same 3 degree air that’s outside. And last night on my drive home, I started smelling exhaust fumes in the car. So much that I had to roll down the windows. Remember, it’s still friggin’ THREE degrees outside.
I wonder how much I can get on eBay for a car that’s posessed by a demon?
Ah, the wonder of winter!
It had to happen…winter has arrived! I woke up to find the ground covered in snow this morning. That was better than yesterday. I turned on the sink faucet and no hot water! In a near panic I ran for the shower, thankfully it hadn’t frozen the hot water pipe there. It took running a little heater most of yesterday, but I got it thawed out. Good thing we don’t pay the water bill in this joint cuz I got all the faucets dripping to avoid freezing pipes. I don’t want to complain too much…sounds like you guys in N. KS are getting it worse.
Everyone bundle up and drive careful!

11.30.05Thank you, Matt! It’s GREAT to be back!
Ok, in all honesty I know about as much about computers as autos, or brain surgury….but this thing is AWESOME! When the wind was howling last Sunday I shut the computer down in case we lost electricity. The next morning I hit the button and went to grab some coffee. I walked back in here and it was up and ready to roll. That confused me (which shouldn’t surprise you guys that know and love me). As an experiment I decided to shut it down the next night just to see if it could boot up in the time it takes to get a cup of coffee. MAN! It is on and running in seconds! Getting online is like 10 times faster. It must communicate with the ucom modem faster? Heck, I don’t know if that is possible. I just know that what would take minutes on the old computer takes seconds on this one. Email is another thing…zip, zip, zip!
The virus scan is set and running. Good news…my first scan showed no virus problems! hee hee
Hey, look! Spare parts!
Well I got Mom’s new computer installed and up and running. So I took her old one home to spruce up to new. Just like it was in those sweet days of the year 2000. Turns out it really was Y2K compliant.
So I pull off the cover to discover 5 years of dust, but what to my wandering eyes should appear? But two hard drives! I didn’t remember putting another hard drive in here, but apparently I did. And why didn’t I take the old one out? Weird. So I wonder if the other hard drive is actually bad, since I can’t remember putting the new one in, I sure can’t remember why I would have. I guess I’ll try getting it to work, and if it does, I guess the machine will have two hard drives now.
Go figure.
11.29.05windy cold days
ok why in the freakin’ world do ppl think that when there is ice on the road its ok to go the speed limit or faster??? i swear i was almost in an accident had it not been for my excellent driving skills and for it being extremely easy to put my car in to a drift slide on ice. i prolly wouldnt have a car right now becuse the jerk in this pick-up was going too fast, and intead on just downshifting into a lower gear he slammed on his breaks and started sliding even though he missed me. He slammed into the light pole in the parking lot. i pulled into a parking stall and got out to see if the guy was ok he was, however, he wont be opening his passenger side door anytime soon.
Un-freakin-believable
Proof of devine intervention. I don’t know how else to explain it.
I was heading to work yesterday an the roads in Manhattan are slick as…well, ice. Polished ice. And I notice that the traffic has come to a stop up ahead, and at the same time a fire truck is coming from behind. So I get over to the right, as does everyone else. Then after the fire truck passes, I get in the left lane to turn left and turn around in a parkinWHAM!. I get nailed in left rear corner by a little red Ford Escort. So I hobble into the parking lot thinking…”Well this had to happen sooner or later.” Thinking that the hooptie has seen it’s days.
So the girl that hit me, and I exchange information. Apparently we weren’t the only ones trading paint, because she said she called the cops and they were only taking emergency calls. So I head back to the car to look over the damage. Looks like the left rear blinker is busted out, but other than that, everything seems pretty cosmetic. So I get in the car, and drive on to work.
Later after work, I tested out all my lights. (I didn’t think to do that before I went to work. =P ) And come to find out, all the lights still work, just the plastic cover to the blinker broke. Now, not to say that you can’t tell I got schmacked. It’s a pretty big dent, but the car still drives, and all the lights work. It’s friggin street legal! So all I need to do is tape over the light so it doesn’t get too wet.
So so the Pontiac 6000 that was once in all its glory, continues to serve without fear, and without (too much) hesitation! Long live the hooptie!
