Who wants to be a nerd now.. eh? According to some study, Nerds are rampant sex machines.
Finally, pay day is here. I am no longer poor.

The Weakest Link has a club and so far it has 2348 members. I'm wondering why they talk about in there, on how to insult people when they get "kicked-out"?

Just for Dan, N'sync candy.
We are bad. It looks like the cat followed one of us to the closet and we didn't notice, so... we closed the door and there she was, stuck all day in the closet. Now there's a hole on the carpet by the corner, since she was trying to get out/open the door (now we can kiss the security deposit goodbye). So I gave her one extra slice of her favorite turkey ham for all the trouble we caused her :-(
After a long weekend, I don't feel like being here at work (and the yucky weather doesn't help). Can I go home?

There is something wrong with this forecast:
Light snow likely early...then mostly cloudy. A chance of snow showers... or mixed rain and snow showers by afternoon. Brisk with highs 40 to 45
I'm getting lots of hits from someone (or more than one) at Disney. Hi there!! Can I get discount tickets to all your parks? How about a free stay on your hotels? ;)
What's worse, getting spam or getting spam created with the HTML conversion "tool" from Word 2000. Gosh you can't even read it!

Well the University of Michigan's Naked Mile Run (nudity) is this Tuesday and the cops are hoping to arrest/stop people from doing it. bummer
If you can't get enough of Monopoly, they have over forty special edition boards to choose from. Some of the editions are: Marvel Comics, Coca-Cola, Star Trek TNG and Original, Penn State and X-men among others. But where's the A-List webloggers edition.. eh?
Happy Easter! Now where is my chocolate? :P

It seems that some people are having problems posting the comments so lets make this out testing thread. It only happened to me once but I have no idea why. I'm using this script so I don't know if it has something to do with it.

Software bug found in Microsoft's UltimateTV box - somehow I'm not surprised by this. Actually it's expected from Microsoft.

Big Yahoo decided to listen to ppl complaining and removes all the porno it was selling. Boo Boo!
aaaaaaaah how nice it's to sleep until noon. I did get up early to take Brianna out and then watched the Partridge Family on WB. Then I went back to bed and so did Brianna and Fluffy. The cat, the puppy and the girl sleeping at the same time.. how cute :P

FINALLY!!!!!!!!! A loooong weekend is ahead. I don't work tomorrow or Monday but I did had to use one of my vacation days so who cares. Poor Eitel works both days so go make fun of him.. heh Now I can catch up on all the soap operas and talk shows.
What was Christina Aguilera thinking when she decided to go like this to an awards show? She looks awful.

SInce I love all the Police Academy movies, this is kinda sad: Actor David Graf, best known for his role as Officer Tackleberry in the Police Academy movies, has died at age 50. Graf collapsed of cardiac arrest at a family wedding in Arizona on Saturday

Agenda VR3: Handheld Linux PC with 8MB RAM, 16MB Flash memory, and 66MHz CPU for $249. Too cool

Somebody should've told me that I was going to spend tons of money buying stuff for Brianna. This housebreaking stuff is a lot harder than I thought.
Oh yeah, free ice cream cone from Ben & Jerry's on May 2nd. I love free stuff! Now, if only Subway would do the customer appreciation day like they used to in State College, I would be set (free sub for 3hrs).

After watching the commercials Eitel and I went to Pizza Hut on Friday and tried the new Twisted Crust pizza. I usually don't eat their pizza because lately they have been giving me an upset stomach, but this one was okay. And I get to eat the best part, the breadstick crust. yum!
I am such a dumbass. I spilled water all over my keyboard the other day while trying to pick up Fluffy and now my top and right arrows don't work. I'm so pissed!!!!! grrrrrrr
I found a comments script that uses mySQL and PHP so I'm going to try it out. Let's see how it goes.

Songs in my head: Kabah's "Calle de la Sirena" and Sentidos Opuestos' "Eres Amor de Papel" (both of them are Windows Media Player clips)
At the gym in my apartment complex they have the Precor EFX546 Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer and I love it!! I can easily do 30-40 minutes on it and usually do some 2.5-3 miles on it. Too bad I can't get one for home, it costs around $5,000US.

Now I can sit and relax watching Survivor II without getting all stressed out by that bi@tch called Jerri.
Some people hate the Office Assistant (aka the ugly clip) that comes with Office 97/2000. And others hate it because it can't answer a simple question.
It's a beautiful day outside.. 60ºF, sunny and clear. I want it to stay that way, no more snow and all that icy crap. I can't wait until May since that's when Cedar Point opens. I love rollercoasters and I only got to ride once on Millenium Force.

mental note: tonight it's the David Copperfield special: Tornado of Fire. I've seen all of his tv specials plus I saw him in person when he was at Penn State 3 years ago. You have to see him in person! This guy is magic.
Getting up early sucks ass. Just thought I let you know. Carry on.

Forget what I said earlier. The best April Fool's day prank I've heard was this radio station giving the news that the Detroit Red Wings were moving to Windsor, Canada by 2003. The radio station had a player and a PR call the show to give the news: that they were building a stadium right next to the Windsor Casino, that tickets would be cheaper and that they were very excited about it. My god, people were calling the show afterwards flipping and insulting pretty much everyone. LOL
Okay people.. why don't you go over to the RC boards, sign up and post? As a bonus you get to harrass Dan anytime you want. *evil grin*

Jerri from Survivor II is now a singer? LOL
Song of the day: "Dancing in Heaven" by Q-Feel (from the movie "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" which I saw on Comedy Central today and yes I like it.. sue me :P )
So far Fluffy and Brianna are getting along, as long as Brianna doesn't get too close or Fluffy will run away from her. But the cat does like to follow the dog around. Even though you can't see Brianna, Fluffy is staring at her. How cute!

viernes, marzo 30, 2001

I missed Jerri getting kicked out of Survivor. I want details!!!!! Okay I read the details. I'm so glad she left. I couldn't stand watching her for another second.
hmm I got Greymatter all setup ready to go.. but I don't feel like moving files so it'll be Blogger for a while (if I see one more freaking template I will kill someone).

It looks like she likes my Beanie Babies, specially Roary and Rocket. But we still need to catch her getting them so we can tell her not to do that. (hmmm I didn't know that those two are retired beanie babies.. maybe I should put them somewhere else hehe)

CSS Enhancements in Internet Explorer 6 Public Preview. A must read.
It must be something on Michigan's water, because I'm sick again. That would be the fourth time this year! I hate it, I hate it. At least I'm taking some medicine for free from the First Aid kit here at the office (they have everything on that kit, even Blistex).

I bet some people are upset that everytime J.Lo is on camera they only show her from the neck up. I bet it's cold at the Oscars.
The Oscars are on tonight and all I care about is what the stars will be wearing. Who's going to pull a J.Lo tonight? Oh, and I want Benicio del Toro to win (ay papi!).
Now I know why people are getting the iMac.
(plug) Here's another beautilful and simple layout for a blog. And go visit his other site, imako. Who cares if it's in Spanish, it's beautiful as well.

I just noticed that I can't remotely edit this blog. When did it stopped working?
<rant>
Well, no dog yet thanks for the wonderful work of the shelter. They told us that since the dog had a stray hold until Thursday, that she could get spayed on Friday. So fine, we can wait almost a week for the dog. But when we visited her a couple of times this weeks I noticed that she was sneezing some, and said to myself, "gosh I hope she doesn't get sick". Friday comes and Eitel calls to see if we could take her home and they tell us that the vet had an emergency and couldn't come, and that we have to wait until Tuesday. We stopped by yesterday to see if we could take her for the weekend and they told us no, that it was their policy, that they didn't ask the vet to come because they didn't have enough animals to get spayed (??? all I was saying to myself was yada yada yada). So okay, we left. We stopped by today and we couldn't find her anywhere on the cages so we ask the lady on the front desk where she is and she doesn't know either. After waiting for 5 minutes they realized that the dog was put in isolation (from the healthy puppies) because she got sick (I should be a psychic). Now we don't know if she can be spayed on Tuesday (probably not) and they won't let us take her home until she gets spayed.

We are so pissed, I mean, surrounded by sick animals on this little room while they wait for the vet on Tuesday is not going to help her get any better. And waiting over a month to get the dog is just not right (the one week we waited so far plus 2-3 until she gets better plus 1 week for the surgery). The question is, do we wait or just drop it all? I feel bad for the puppy but it's not fair for us to wait that long to get a freaking dog. I don't know what to think of all this. ugh!

Here are the pics of the dog we adopted at the shelter. She is a Lab/Retriever mix and only 3 months old. Her name is Cheyenne but we might change it. Now get ready to say "Aaaaaaaaaaw".

Eitel and Cheyenne  Eitel and Cheyenne #2

She's on a stray hold until Thursday so hopefully they will be able to schedule her surgery for Friday (she is getting spayed). If not then we have to wait until Tuesday to pick her up.

I'm sitting here at the training center taking a class that I took almost a year ago. So why am I taking it again? Because my leader wanted me to learn the new features of the latest software version. But the first day of training is by far exactly the same as before, so I'm really, really bored. And for some reason I can't check the email at work. Oh well, I just want to get out of here early so I can catch up on some talk shows that I haven't seen in months.

Eitel wants a dog so he is trying to convince me by taking me to the Humane Society of Huron Valley to see them. That's where we got our cat Fluffy almost a year ago. I'm still not sure about it though. I'm renting almost all the furniture in our apartment and I don't want a dog to start eating it all.

Why are they showing Real Genius and Dirty Dancing at the same time? Life is so unfair.
Today should be a good day to go to the grocery store and the gym. On a college town, people are probably at the bar drinking right now, and not spending their money on food ;-)

Testing IE6 Beta. Lets see, for some reason it has the Toolbars locked by default, so you can't resize or move them unless you right-click on the toolbar and disable it. Also you can delete just the cookies from the Options menu. Some popups script (like overLib) don't work like they should. It has a Personal Toolbar with the Weather, a Search area and the Windows Media Player integrated but it only plays music from the My Music folder. I'm trying to guess how many times it will crash before getting on my nerves (so far zero).

It's the end of the world! I stopped by the gym right here in the apartments and did the treadmill, some weights and some floor work. I think I might do that every other day (lets see how long it will last)

Instead of doing Tae-bo I decided to make another wallpaper. I call it Reach. Hope you like it.
Weird referrals of the day: eat sh*t and Voyager sex.
I needed to get some contacts since I have only one pair left. So I looked at different sites and found 1stopcontacts.com. I ordered them Friday night and they got shipped via Priority Mail yesterday. Plus they don't call my doctor to verify the prescription. Cool, since I know what my prescription is (is right on the box duh!). The only thing I don't like is that I never received the confirmation email, but they do have a tracking page that shows the status and confirmation number of the shipment.
Alright, a little too late so I took some pics of our trip to the post office and KFC. WOW!!! How exciting!!! :P If you want to see them you can do so by clicking over here
