Friends

if you have been wanting to come over, hang out and help with the house but haven't thought you could do the things we were working on ... well nows your chance!!

Things to do this weekend:

1. Clean! this is the biggest job, everything is covered in sheetrock dust!

2. Paint! we have lots of rollers

3. Mow! the yard needs a good trimming, it's been so hectic inside the house that outside has been neglected

4. Move stuff! There is a new storage room downstairs that everything has to be moved into. Not too much heavy, just a lot of stuff


if you want to come help PLEASE let me know!!

Beau and I drove to Alabama to visit the Uncles and celebrate Uncle Cotton's 85th birthday. He and Uncle Red are both doing great. Uncle Cotton told me that my Daddy ran moonshine during WWII, which was a story about him that I'd never heard before. Not terribly surprising. :)
Saturday we went to Kink Patrol at The Loft, which was a lot of fun. Saw a bunch of friends, met a few new ones, had a few drinks. I really wish they'd make KP a monthly event. Afterwards, we followed the crowd to The Red Door for some after-hours fun. We got home just after dawn. What a great night! What great friends!
Sunday we went to see "The Dark Knight", which was excellent! Heath Ledger's Joker was absolutely chilling. He made the whole movie for me. I really only have one complaint about the movie , and that's the bizarro voice that Christian Bale is affecting when he's in the Batsuit. I know he's doing it to disguise his voice, but it's annoying, distracting and almost impossible to understand. But that's a minor issue. Beau and I both loved the movie. And I completely geeked out over the trailer for "The Watchmen". Can't believe we have to wait till 2009 for that one!

Remind me never to have friends like this.

Ok, this is getting fucking ridiculous!!

yes... ANOTHER bug in IE that's affecting my code

in html you can put &REG and it will convert it to a 'registered' symbol (an R in a circle)

well, Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has decided to use the same text parser the window where you type your URL. The problem is that variables are separated by an & symbol... meaning if lets say you have the vairable REG_PROC it will screw it up and destroy your url....

here is a great little FUCK YOU for you microsoft!!

people can be so stupid sometimes: "Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price is sticking to his comments that the term "black hole," which a colleague used, is racist.Price also says language such as "angel food cake" and "devil's food cake" are also racially insensitive."

oh, so it's not a black hole, it's a photon-challenged hole?

get a fucking life
