Tuesday
This has been a pretty good day. No, it’s been more than “pretty good,” it’s been a good day. Period. Even if I had a hard time waking up this morning. I managed to not only wake up, but get out of bed, into the shower and on the way.

The workday wasn’t bad; it went by quickly. And that’s almost never a “bad” thing.

I didn’t receive any email after… 3:00 this morning. At first, I thought that it might be a problem with my site. Nope. So I checked my hosting site. No go there, either. I eventually called to find out what happened. The response was an embarrassed laugh… and an explanation:

They had forgotten/neglected to renew their domain name.

I got a good laugh out of this. It took a while for the DNS info to re-propagate, but there doesn’t seem to be any (other) major side effects. And, it looks like I’ve finally received all of the day’s email.

After work was when the fun began. I owe a huge “Thanks” for reminding me that today was Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerrys’. (This is even after I had posted about it twice in here. *duhr* It was off to The Gateway to indulge in free tasty iced creams with , and Young Mister Gabe. And, as an added bonus, I got to hang out (i.e.: “play with”) Young Mister Gabe; this mainly involved following him around as he explored the area around the fountains. He seemed to get rather upset when we got ready to go our separate ways – it was cute.

From there, it was on to Greenhouse Effect for a long overdue coffee/hanging out session with . We talked about lots of things. We drank coffee-based beverages. We had a good time.

After that, it was a quick jaunt over to and ‘ place to pick up a CD that I had left there last night. I swear, if my head wasn’t tacked on… Nyx treated us to another of her mp3/video amalgams: Tone Loc’s Wild Thing playing over the video to No Doubt’s Hella Good. The results were comical. But, her best combo that I have seen so far is: The Presidents of the United States of America’s Naked and Famous played over the video to Britney Spears’ Stronger; this combination is riotous.

I also talked with the paternal parental unit briefly. All seems to be well with that part of the family. And it sounds like he’s moving ahead with selling Grandma’s house. If I could only convince my mother’s side of the family that they need to sell my great-grandmother’s house, I’d be happy…

The only “down side” to the day was that I neglected to record tonight’s episode of 24… and Law & Order: SVU. I can check tomorrow to see if someone posted them. Or wait for the encore presentations.

And tomorrow is Wednesday. Selah.
I just hope that I don’t forget about Baskin-Robbins’ Free Scoop Night.

  • : No, I haven’t heard anything about a furor caused by this… but I can imagine the who and why behind it. Some peoples’ children. *sigh* Apparently, these people don’t go to the cinema or they might have put two and two together and figured out what this is about.
  • sent me this. One of my former roommates was from the Boston area; he used to tell me horror stories about parking there. Utter madness. (Not to be confused with “udder madness” or Swingin’ Utters.)

  • When I first saw the title U.S. Dept. of Energy Takes a New Look at Cold Fusion on Slashdot, my first (and rather immediate) thought was of Macromedia’s ColdFusion. My inner programming geek was disappointed.
  • Once again, the last line of this brought a smile to my face.
  • Spiral.

And with that…

Namaste.
