such a dork am I. so, the last important thing I wanted to make my PVR machine do, has been done. I now have a computer sitting under the TV, which will record TV shows for me, a la Tivo. it plays my copious mp3 collection (with fullscreen visualizations). it plays my collections of music videos, movies, tv show episodes, etc in various electronic formats....

ugh. people today just plain pissed me off. I might have to post a gfd about it... after I've relaxed a bit, that is.
picked up some redrum tonight at the liquor store. interesting note: when I opened the bottle and sniffed the opening, my first thought was 'NyQuil'. hopefully it doesn't _taste_ like NyQuil. oh well, if it does, I've got midori and vodka to back me up.
game over man.
happy frigging holidays.
I got a notice from the phone company today. enclosed was a little 'holiday greeting.' after glancing at the holiday greeting, I looked at the notice. "please pay us $24.44 by december 25th, or your service will be interrupted." merry fucking christmas to you too, southwestern bell! there's an accountant somewhere who needs to get laid and smoke a bowl or something....

absolutely frightening. I once met a girl with the same exact birthday... she was even born within about a half-hour of me. unfortunately, that's about all we had in common.

I got ambushed today. wandered into work about five minutes before our team's monday morning meeting, and as I'm putting down my backpack and turning on my monitor, I hear Doug across the aisle say, "what the FUCK is this thing on my calendar that's scheduled over our meeting?" frowning, I peered at my own calendar...it was on mine also. oh no! uninteresting meeting alert...
