Okay, maybe I'm not screwed, but I just can't figure out why Tortoise SVN can't see that I do have OpenOffice installed!!   I need to diff/merge/edit my latest changes to an OpenOffice document with a version in the repository that is in conflict, and all Tortoise does is holler at me that OpenOffice isn't installed.   (Trying to figure this out is way better than actually getting work done, yeeeeah.)

It's not like I'm doing anything wrong... I have this nice new ThinkPad and I'm being very kind to it and not mistreating it in any way... just using it... and then it BSODs for no reason whatsoever, while I'm sitting here being a good little chipmunk, innocently surfing the web.   : (

Just me playing a quick few measures of the Caramelldansen song, just for fun, nothing to get excited about.

And, found on the web, a very beautiful piano version that reminds me a bit of something by George Winston...

And, of course, the ultimate ADHD version, most effective when viewed full-screen on a big display...

Sun did not come out today, it has been dark and rainy all day... a fine day to enjoy being inside.

Just watched Bolt, the movie.  WOW!  No piece of animation has any right to have such an ability to tug around on my emotional strings!  It was amazing, I'm a mess.  Disney rules.

That's all for now,

A refreshing change for the cartoon world!...

Received this e-mail today.  Apparently they laid off too many of their furries over there at Hostway, everything's falling apart!

Let's watch the Ferrets again...   : )

People still print things out on paper?!?  Not around here.  (And I am so saving the planet by keeping that third monitor powered off!)

Eleanor has all these gingerbread cookies and doesn't know what to do with them... *sigh*... sad gingerbread without a home.

Today when I woke up and opened the vertical blinds and saw ladybugs on the screen door, I knew it would be a nice day.  Everyone was out walking around in short sleeves, enjoying another beautiful fall day in New York... one of the last of the year no doubt.

Just stopped at Best Buy and engaged in some retail therapy.  Now I'm copying a few hundred gigs from the USB 2.0 drive (the shiny one on the right) to the new 1.5TB eSATA drive (the classy-looking matte one on the left)... *yawn*

I received my Cougari today... yay!  Snatched her up off my doorstep as I was heading out to go to work today.

Cougari is a critter from the mind of Nanook123.

As you may have surmised already, last weekend (Oct 24-25) I visited my pal awwwwcute down in North Carolina.  All in all, it was a successful weekend, though the weather threatened to spoil it, and darn near almost caused me to miss my connecting flight in Philadelphia.  When AwwwwCute picked me up from RDU, it was raining, and then it started raining much harder as we drove west on I-40 toward the hot air balloon festival in Statesville.... but, by the time we arrived, the sky had cleared and the sun had come out, and we had a great time riding our bikes around the festival grounds (thanks, JBB, for loaning us your awesome bike), and later that evening about a dozen balloons took flight!  The next day we caught a competition in which the pilots tried to navigate their balloons to the festival grounds, drop a baggie onto a target, then try to catch a "prey" balloon.  It's amazing how well some of the pilots could steer their balloons without any obvious means of doing so (perhaps the wind was kind to them).  Then we had the iPhone lead us to the nearest Starbucks, where we decided on an impulse to drive up to Virginia to visit our old college, Virginia Tech.  Eventually we made it back to Durham, went to a book club meeting (of course I hadn't read the book!), then AwwwwCute cooked me some spaghetti and fixed me some sleepytime tea... and all the while he tried to teach me about rice and other foods but of course I didn't retain any of it because I'm dumb like that.  So, anyway... tonight I just quickly scrubbed through the video I shot and pulled out a few random frames to share with y'all. 

(  enjoy!  )

Evil girl murdered a furry and is wearing its fur!!!!   (Sheesh, if she wanted a partial furry suit, she could've had one made, she didn't have to resort to violence!!)

I don't know the source of the image, sorry.

Just tried to connect via Exceed on Demand to a machine in Minnesota and was told I don't exist, whaaaa?  That's a new one on me!

Want to post about my weekend trip down to North Carolina, but haven't had time yet.  Work, work, work...
