Blogger ate my template

Took me a few days to realize that blogger ate my template and so I have to go back to the original blah. I'm going to work on getting my links back up and various stuff replaced so just remember..."Please pardon our dust. Under Construction."

Downloading

I have learned the fine art of downloading and it is good. At least it is for now. I've just spent the past two days downloading various things that I've wanted to watch for forever now and I'm happy. :) The computer is making progress and he's had it working this weekend, although he just took it apart again to put in tubing and lights to make the tubing glow. Hopefully, it'll still be working after he puts it all back together again.

In other fun news, our new neighbors (actually just the guy back there) are the go-to guys for the not-so-nice elements in town and they also have a lot of "friends." *Sigh* At least they're quiet. I find it hard to take a man too seriously when he's having a conversation over the fence with me while wearing his Monsters, Inc. tm slippers. :)

Just so y'all know, Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex and 2nd Gig rock.

New Computer Time

Hubby is building himself a new computer but until all the parts are here I'm stuck fighting with him for time on the net since he's started playing City of Heroes (tm). So, if you don't see me too much for the rest of the week, (although he has to work sometime) it's because I'm trying to surf the net on my PSP. Which is cool but isn't made for typing anything out on. :)

I'm not ignoring Katrina

But, being on the opposite coast means that the best I can do is donate money to Red Cross, etc. I feel the response to this disaster leaves much to be desired. Why were certain things not done or not funded? Why wasn't there a more concentrated evacuation effort? I lived in Louisiana for 3 years and where we used to be wasn't badly hit but my heart aches for the people I know are still there.

In other news, I've been working out some of my feelings by cleaning house and starting an exercise program. Dishes, laundry, dishes, taking the garbage out, dishes, vacumning, and dishes. (I still don't have a dishwasher so I am the dishwasher.) I wish...I wish there was something else I could do. My mind is moving in circles obviously. Just as soon as I think I've finally let the images of the aftermath of Katrina out of my head, something else pops up.

That's it. I'm off to scrub the floor in the kitchen.
