Today is a good day

I have this thing about 3s. I like 3s. Its a good number. Jonathan was born on a 3, I was born on a 3. Lily was born on a multiple of 3. So I am very excited to hear that Lisa was induced this morning. Hopefully her little boy will be born today too. Another 3. I really like 3.

I love the fishes cause they're so delicious!

Mr. Poppers and I went to Hayashi tonight for dinner. I like sushi. I ate a lot of sushi. I also made an exciting discovery! Hayashi is now open on Sundays! Woohoo! So now when I have those urges for sushi on Sunday afternoon, I can simply hop in my xA (also Japanese) and get some nummy num nums. Yes, I did just say Nummy Num Nums.

So, for the first time in 'I don't know how many' years, I missed the state of the union address. I just was not in the mood. From what I hear, I didn't miss much. Its not like Bush got up there and said, 'Well, folks, The state of the union is really bad. We need to make some drastic changes. First we are going to bring all of our troops home. Then we are going to take all of that money we spent on blowing up a bunch of brown people because we wanted their oil and use it to help pay for education, health insurance, and housing for people who need it here at home. We have also decided we are not going to give huge companies with record profits any subsidies or tax breaks... (such as Wal-Mart or BigOil) and instead help out those of you who make less than 30k a year and may actually need it.'

No. Its not like that happened. From what I hear he said that everything is peachy keen. Perfect. We rock like socks, he should be allowed to peep in our windows, read our diaries, go through our underwear drawers, whatever he wants, why? Because he is the president of the United States of America damn it and he wants to. But there are laws against it? So, they don't apply to him because he is the president of the United States of America. Wait. If the laws don't apply, doesn't that make him a dictator? Lets take a look at the dictionary:


President: The word president is derived from the Latin prae- "before" + sedere "to sit." As such, it originally designated the officer who "sits before" a gathering and ensures that debate is conducted according to the rules of order.


Dictator: A ruler who is not restricted by a constitution, laws or any opposition.

A president ENSURES order... a dictator is not restricted by any order. Hmmmm. Sound a little suspicious.

Well. I should probably stop now seeing as Just typing the word President probably got me on some lists thanks to the Patriot Act. Wait...I probably am already on those lists. I AM a card carrying member of the ACLU...Why aren't you?

Weekends go by so fast.

It is already Sunday night. Hard to believe. So, it turns out I didn't hose my computer. Frank came through like a trooper. All working and well. I am exhausted so I will be off to bed soon. I just remember weekends as being two long days of watching T.V. and playing around, goofing off. Now there just never seems to be enough time. Before they even begin it is already time to start getting ready for work on Monday. And boy, the Monday mornings come faster and earlier every week.

Well, I am off to bed. Tomorrow is another Manic Monday.

I think I hosed my computer

So yeah. I think I finally did it. Well, not really hosed. I mean I am here, aren't I? But it is a bunch of little things that are adding up to equal a giant irritation. For example, I got myself a webcam, but everytime I try to hook it up to my instant messenger the thing freezes and I get strange error messages and I can't close it out at all. So I try to reboot and the entire thing freezes. I have so many old games on here that I don't play. I have saved files from the dark ages. I have mp3s from cds saved in 3 different places. I think it is finally time to start over. I think this may actually solve several issues. I can clean up the old stuff, organize the stuff I actually want to keep, and oh yeah, maybe even get a bigger hard drive and a new tower case. Ever since I got the flatpanel the desktop case is just too cumbersome and a tower would be much nicer to have. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that I can talk poppers into that. It shouldn't be too hard. Just fill his tummy with some pot roast and say, 'daddy?' and he is all mine. Sometimes- or should I say it is Always - nice to be his little girl.

It has been awhile...

As you can see, I tend to forget to update this. I hope you shall forgive me. It has been a very hectic few weeks. My family has lost a very dear friend. Arlene Peters was kind, loving, talented, patient, and will be with me always. She taught me to play the piano and to remember that there was no failure as long as I tried my best. She was not just a friend of the family, she was family to me.
