Month: October 2002

This CD is the number one link people click on from my site to jump over to Amazon. Since October 1st, 27 people have clicked on it to pop over there. I think that says something nice about society.

Which reminds me…I’ve started updating the Christmas Music Page for the 2002 season. Looks like America’s got a Christmas album…so I’m already picking out the stuff I’ll “need” for this season!

I can’t believe it’s already Thursday. Next thing you know you’ll be telling me tomorrow is Friday. Okay, pre-weekend thoughts.

Sopranos. According to the previews, Tony goes to see the Annabella Sciorra character. I hope it’s just a dream because she’s a nutjob. And I don’t want to watch them doing you-know-what again. As for Carmella and Furio…well, I think that’s a bad move. Sure, I’d love a shot at Furio myself, but why would Carmella risk it? And Furio is very loyal…what is he thinking? Um, so that’s the Sopranos update. I may go to the AppleFest at Mount Wachusett this weekend. Of course, I may not.

The sixty-nine cent package of Shaws english muffins is pretty good. Sure, the Thomases have a little more oomph in the nook and cranny department, but they are too close in quality for me to buy the more expensive ones. I mean, sixty-nine cents a package, people! My problem is to try to convince myself that I don’t want peanut butter on them. Because I do…I just don’t want to have a “peanut butter headache” the next day or the day after. I swear, if it was instantaneous, it would be so much easier to just avoid peanut butter. But I love it. LOVE IT. And the headache doesn’t come until a day or two later, so it’s like it’s going to happen to a different person.

You know, if they still made Seldane, this wouldn’t be a problem. That allergy medication was the best BEST stuff ever invented. Totally solved all my allergy woes, with no drowsiness. I suggested it to a friend and he agreed with me – this stuff was Heaven-sent. Then they pulled it from the market because it was causing some people big problems. I think kidney damage, but I don’t remember. So they had to play with the ingredients, and it was never ever the same. And there’s nothing else as good out there. *sniff*

Okay, so to balance the severe lack of people visiting the blog (where the heck is everyone?) there are a lot more people than normal visiting the main dump. And from the referrer logs, I don’t see anything that indicates we were linked from a big popular site. Cause I’m still waiting for Wil Wheaton to notice me. I know Adam Curry has to be vaguely aware of my site because his sister links to my site. But he hasn’t. Neither has James Lileks, and he’s my hero. Well, back when he used to ego surf (entering your own name in the search engines) he did send me an email to tell me that I’d spelled his name wrong on my page. I wrote “Lilek’s” instead of Lileks’. Hey, maybe he only ego surfs for misspellings. Could be.

I should do that. But I don’t think I’d find anything.

The server that my site lives on bit the dust today, according to my ISP. This was just lovely news. No website, no email…I hear it might have actually been BOUNCING which freaking thrills me to no end. So just now, at 10:45, it looks like they’ve restored a backup….FROM OCTOBER 2ND!!!!! Are you telling me that’s the most recent stuff you’ve got? Allow me to be thrilled. It’s a damned good thing that my stuff is all secretly stored in underground caverns covered with fake plants. I think I can regenerate the missing stuff…I’ll have to look in my archives to see if anything was dated after October 3rd. Oh, and for the record, re-receiving two days worth of spam from October 2 and 3rd was a real treat.

Uh oh. The other sour milk smell is gone. I almost replaced it with something worse. Let me just say that if you buy deli meats, don’t leave them in the bag under the paper towels. They really do belong in the fridge. Man, I hate that I just wasted that meat and cheese. I’m just so angry with myself!

Additionally, I can’t get rid of all these stinking banana bugs. You know what I mean, the little tiny flies you sometimes get when your bananas get too ripe? Well I can’t get rid of them. Do I just have to not buy bananas for a week or two? Why should Junior suffer? But I’ve run out of ideas. I can’t keep the bananas in a container, can I? They’ll ripen too fast. I swear, I’m just going to lose it.

p.s. Sorry that the site has been unavailable this afternoon and evening. Apparently there was some really big boo-boo on the server where my site is hosted.
