Finally our weekend is here!! All we want to do so far is make plans for tonight’s slumber party and put errands off until tomorrow 🙂

Found a phone # that works but it wants me to read info from the screen that’s blank (and will want me to enter info). This is maddening.

I’m so jealous! (I used to go there every night.) RT @1prdpgn: I’m at Platueu Expresso (2724 Scenic Dr, Alamogordo). http://4sq.com/a1y3zS

So, haven’t had time for broken psp, broken computer, or my suddenly errant phone. Today is a plumbing problem!! When it rains, it pours.

There is nothing wrong with either of us that Ben & Jerry’s can’t fix. Why wait until slumber party night?? (I don’t even OWN a scale!)

I highly recommend The Cutting Edge: The Magic of Movie Editing, currently on Netflix streaming – great examples for techniques it covers.

Didn’t occur to me until just now that in the last few days I’ve watched both a movie and a documentary called The Cutting Edge. Odd that.

Great – now i’m locked out of my computer – WTF do I do now?! http://flic.kr/p/85Yykh

.@don_rivers from everything i’ve read, ‘validate by phone’ is supposed to be one of the options on that window that’s blank for some reason

From what I gather the validate-by-phone option should display on the window that’s blank AND the number it shows is one of many possible.

(And Twitter SMS deliveries are failing again! Lousy time for it. (It sometimes happens to certain carriers only if yours is working.))

"I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing" still gets me every time I hear it. Even the country version.

(Btw, Google it and find the long list of songs by the gal who wrote it – maybe half of the greatest love songs of the last 20 years or so.)

Here ya’ go, list of songs by Diane Warren http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Songs_written_by_Diane_Warren see what I mean?

Making some french press pot coffee. It’s gonna go in the fridge in a bit. First batch of iced coffee of the summer 🙂

Welp, guess i’d better climb on the roof and see if the cooler really is working right, grrr. If i’m not back in an hour, avenge my death.

@Jaeckle now now, it’s not very nice to torture people 😛

Ok, twittering from the roof (I can see my house from way up here!). Um, it all looks right to me. Everything’s, uh, wet and dripping.

All 4 pads seem to be wet. So, I was right all along – swamp coolers just suck! Or is there more to it? I’m the computers and coffee guy!

I come back inside and Stephin Merritt (as in The Magnetic Fields) is on the radio (that would be KEXP internet radio). Kewl.

Don’t you love that feeling when you got ALL the housework done and it’s not even noon?! Uh, yeah, I don’t get to have that feeling today 😛

@don_rivers Yup, check, check, and check. Erm, except that last one. Poor lil Wesley could be scarred for life.

When Wesley slips in his socks in the kitchen and falls and I say "Toe pick!" I know I’ve been watching too many of Terra’s movies with her.

Mm-hm, what was I saying about nurse stories? Terra is on her way home for a shower – says she’ll tell me the story when she gets here.

mmkay, an incident Terra lent a hand to, ended up with someone’s blood all over her. It’s not a job, it’s an adventure. Could’ve been worse.

(btw, as for "could’ve been worse" – I’m not being insensitive – taking care of patients is Terra’s job, taking care of Terra is my job.)

And how seredipitous that I had fresh iced coffee to send her off with. I shouldve known there was a reason I felt compelled to make it 🙂

Test test

Soo, can anyone recommend a site they trust to get PSP (internal) parts from? I’ve decided that the problem is the analog nub module itself.

My PSP is almost unusably malfunctioning and many attempts to fix it myself have failed. I am reduced to spewing foul invective at it.

85+ degrees in the living room!! http://flic.kr/p/85wJDy

I think I could cope better with everything going on if they’d just announce the release date for Moulin Rouge on Blu-ray!!! 😛

@don_rivers I plan to have a look but hadn’t gotten to it. But, the air through the vents smells right, so I think it’s fully functional.

Sullen Resignation. Yeah, good band name. Or maybe just an album title.

DO NOT live with a nurse unless you can handle disturbing stories you’ll never be able to un-hear when she tells you about her day.

Brushing Terra’s hair, watching Freaks And Geeks episode 106 – Carded And Discarded.

Stayed up way too late watching One Hour Photo on my psp. Robin Williams’ performance is flawless and I usually loathe his movies.

One Hour Photo has many wrongs but the hypnotic atmosphere, stunning cinematography, and Williams’ performance make me forgive the rest.

Sigh. Friday, but not for us. This is day two, still have two more. Then, Mon-Wed off. I hate weird schedules.
