…or nothing at all.

I spent the early part of the day replacing our proxy server. It should have been a quick exchange of computers. It wasn’t. It was a quick exchange and minor reconfiguration and NIC swapping and… well, you get the idea. *sigh* But, on the “plus” side: We now have a computer that doesn’t decide to randomly lock up and take down the Internet connection.

Friday night coffee was good. Plenty to see and do. I also started on what (so far) looks to be a fun project: Following and ‘s ideas, I am working on a drawing for this year’s Christmas card. So far, it looks pretty good (BIG thanks to for her tutelage); I just have to decide if I’m going to color it on paper or make an attempt to color it digitally. At this point, I am leaning towards colored pencils.

Stray Toasters

  • From The Guardian: We Are All Nerds Now
  • We were doing “Six Degrees of Separation” match-ups over dinner. Can anyone come up with links between:
    • Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Fishburne
    • Herve Villechaize and Wilt Chamberlain
  • Hidey Hidey Hidey Hi…
    &nbsp &nbsp(Hidey Hidey Hidey Hi…)

  • Chocolate and peanut butter make for a tasty treat. Millions of Reese’s Cups bear that out. But there are some combinations that just make you wonder what the creator was thinking…
  • If you think that people who drive and talk on their phones at the same time are bad, read this. Multitasking is one thing, this was ridiculous… not to mention VERY dangerous.
  • Bonsai!

Quote of the Day (and two from a couple of years ago)
While cleaning up earlier this week, I came across a couple of quotes that I had written on the backs of business cards. Their exact origins are lost… but they still amused me:

  • Even bitches are allowed to wimp out every once in a while.
  • I’m going to hit you so hard, the lips on your driver’s license will be swollen for a week!

    • While at Borders, was looking at a magazine and came across an article on former Eight Is Enough and Charles in Charge actor Willie Aames and his series Bibleman. Then, she saw the costume that he wears. That prompted the following:

    Jesus didn’t have titanium armor! He looks like a demented Jedi Power Ranger!

    There’s probably nothing that I can say at this point to top that, so I’ll just end here.

    Namaste.
