It actually drives hubby nuts when I play music this way. I, obviously, like to take all the music in my i-tunes and hit shuffle. He’d rather pick a genre and play it. He can’t handle the music whiplash.
I’ve decided my hubby is a typical man. He got a wedding invitation the other day from one of his co-workers for a wedding in early April. This will be a fully traditional Ismaili wedding. So when I saw the invite I asked, a) what kind of wear will be expected of the guests (being a traditional wedding, I wanted to make sure we didn’t wear a colour and garb that would be out of place); and b) are they registered anywhere? my hubby just shrugs his shoulders. I then ask him to ask since he sees her just about every day and I’m lucky if I see her once a month. Still nothing. I may have to go over his head and contact the bride myself since hubby is being way too male about the whole thing.
Saw a lot of movies over the holiday, two at the cinema and the rest on DVD.
I really enjoyed the new Sherlock Holmes, less so the new Mission Impossible, but it was entertaining. Limitless was a pleasant surprise, watched that one with the folks who also really liked it.
Rounding out the rest:
XMEN First Class
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Jaws
the J.J. Abrams Star Trek
Harry Potter – Deathly Hollows Part 2
Why is nobody in today? I’ve made three different calls to three different places and haven’t got a person once. What’s even stranger is, on two of them, I didn’t even get a machine. The phone just rang and rang. I wish I could skip work today too.
:(
My new Photoshop-like program (Pixelmator) has quit working. Seems maybe it was never meant to be used with the new Mac OS. Which doesn’t explain why it worked BEAUTIFULLY for a week.
*sigh*
I guess I will be the old timer that sits in the back of the coffee shop saying “I remember when Macintoshes used to work… now a days? We’re all goin to hell!!!”
Thankfully Ralph was able to get it off my wheel. It was cutting up my hands after many years of use. It had started cracking and coming undone so to speak.
Excellent evening. Walked to Manneken Fritas and got some fries to go, then went next door to the Arvada Brewing Company where they not only have choice delicious brews for the adults, but crafted root beer and a wide selection of board games for the kids. My better better half and I enjoyed 5 of their 8 brews while battling the kids at Candyland, Guess Who, and Hangman.
We dont often get nice, strife free nites like this, so twas quite a blessing.
I have 29 tracks on my iPod containing the word “bone”.
167 containing “qu”.
7 containing “battle”.
95 containing “fun” (80 of those are for tracks with the word “funk”).
“After a poor showing in Tuesday night’s Iowa caucus, Michele Bachmann announced that she will be ending her campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.
Following her announcement she unhinged her lower jaw and ate 3 of her volunteer staff members.”
I got my property tax assessment today. The city says my house is worth $30,000 than it was last year. Since I’m not planning to sell in the near future, I guess I can call it a win as my property taxes are now going to be a tiny bit less.
Well, I’ve only been under the stairs a half hour and I already foresee a… discussion hubby and I will be having.
I found. pretty much, all our VHS tapes. We haven’t had a VHS player in years so have no way of watching these. The issue I foresee is, this collection includes the entire Original Star Trek and Next Gen Star Trek series. Yes we have the enhanced versions in both DVD and Blu Ray (for the original series anyway) but, knowing hubby, that won’t matter. We also have the complete Monkees TV series. How do I tell him we need to get rid of these?
Hey, I think I’m being generous. I’m going to let him keep the laser discs. That’s only because we still have a player, even if we haven’t touched it for years
And for those of you who don’t read my Facebook (and why don’t you? I’m very interesting) here’s my lunch report:
http://www.coalburger.com/ is where we went and I had the BBQ Burger – Chipotle bbq sauce, cole slaw, and cheddar cheese on a 1/3 lb burger cooked very very rare. It was actually rare enough for even me! And! Sweet potato fries!
It’s important to note that I’m trying to keep my protein intake at or over 60g per day for health reasons. Yesterday I maxed out at 72 (first day) today I’m already at 42 thanks to my delicious and overpriced burger. The boss paid, and I appreciate it
So I’ve been at work all day wearing this button down black shirt, and I only just now spotted the fake mustache stuck to the sleeve, around the interior elbow.
Sarah loved it, I loved it… Fletcher is still 6 years old. It’s really long for a kid that age to sit through. I’d like to play back a conversation had during the movie. (Disclaimer: If I did text during the movie, I kept my phone all the way down inside my blouse so as not to disturb other patrons with the light.)
Scene: Watching movie.
Fletcher: Mommy, I have to poo.
Me: Right now? Can you hold it?
Fletcher: I don’t know. Is it almost over.
Me text to LostRalph: How long is this movie?
LostRalph: That bad huh? 2 hours 6 minutes
Me: It’s good. Fletcher has to poo.
LostRalph: Oh, bad timing.
Me: Fletcher, do you want to go to the bathroom? There is almost an hour left.
Fletcher: No. I can hold it.

At least there’s a good reason behind this chaos.
good luck with the move Jack.

Do him a favor … contact her yourself.
The typical guy won’t know what things to ask. Besides, shortening the communication trail helps avoid miscommunication. :)

Since I’m obviously not going to get any work done, I’m off to the store.

I’m in Scotland this week and the drunk kilt wearers are having an extra bank holiday.
Because of New Year and not my arrival.

I’m really liking Fucked Up’s new stuff.
I only have one of their songs, which I rated 2 stars, and haven’t played since 7/10/2008 at 2:42 PM. (iTunes is good for some things)
There’s too much screaming in the old stuff. The new album is a little different.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW0-jrDeSgQ
I have 29 tracks on my iPod containing the word “bone”.
167 containing “qu”.

41 containing “bone”
254 containing “qu”
38 containing “battle”
45 containing “fun”
6 containing “funk”
Oddly, I have no songs titled “Battle Bone Fun Funk !”
Our band needs to correct this deficit.
We’d need to add “Platypus” if it were to also become the band name.
Every gig would be sold out for “Battle Bone Fun Funk Platypus”.
17 songs containing “Bone”
102 containing “qu”
4 containing “battle”
18 containing the word “fun”
105 containing “song”
I don’t have iTunes on my computer.

I too have the “WTF do I do with these VHS tapes I have so carefully hung onto!”
Not to mention the 1″, 3/4 and Betacam *rolls eyes*
Seems like I have a box of VHS tapes in my attic. Probably need to donate them to my local landfill.
Hey, I think I’m being generous. I’m going to let him keep the laser discs. That’s only because we still have a player, even if we haven’t touched it for years
Too bad, Bunny! I actually just donated a VHS player to the local Goodwill. It could have been yours to take home from the next MMMmmmeetup.
Umm, no. I want to get rid if stuff not have a reason to keep it
I think I could find you an old VHS player Bunny. One of those big, solid, top-loading machines.
