I came home early, today, because I found myself breathing only with difficulty, thanks to the crud in my head and lungs. Let’s not forget the wooziness and general tendency toward the horizontal.
Yep. The first head cold of the fall season has arrived. Joy. Depending on how I’m feeling by morning, I may be home tomorrow, too. Bah.
I was supposed to visit the rugrats today, too. Le sigh.
My daughter turns a dozen, today. Yep. (Next year they’ll both be teenagers. Heavens help us.) Okay, seriously, she’s an incredible kid. Or, young person, I suppose it’s about time to say. I’m awfully proud of her, and I look forward to seeing in what direction she decides to take her life.
Happy Birthday, sweetie.
(The entry title refers to a little game she and I have been playing pretty much her entire life… “Meep” is a touch on the nose, “Koosh” is a pat to the top of the head, and the newly-added “Wiggle-wiggle” is grabbing earlobes and wiggling. That one’s her own invention. Way to go, Miss Exe-Koosh-ener.)
Jenny McCarthy made a movie. This, I didn’t know. Okay, I also didn’t care. But when Roger Ebert is moved to write such as the following, one cannot help but be amused:
I would like to say more, but-no, I wouldn’t. I would not like to say more. I would like to say less. On the basis of “Dirty Love,” I am not certain that anyone involved has ever seen a movie, or knows what one is.
Just go read the whole thing. Seriously. You look like you need a good laugh.
You know it’s a typically lazy Saturday when your two biggest accomplishments are organizing some of your anime CDs into new binders and finishing a Windows system build-out that you started on Tuesday.
I am, indeed, just that exciting of a human being. Aren’t you just honored as all heck to know me? Yeah, you know you are.
Look! Look! Check out the upgraded gallery!
Thanks to the incredibly-well-designed import method, all old links to gallery content will still work, by the way. Oh, and those of you for whom I’ve set up Gallery installs should poke around this new system and decide if you want me to do the upgrade or not. Just let me know, eh?
Not bad for an hour and a half of work, is it?
I’m probably going to tinker with the generally-unused anime site over the next few days. Why? Because I’ve got an itch to tinker, and I want to see if I can actually put the site to good use, that’s why. (I did fix a couple of annoying stylesheet issues this afternoon, mind you.)
In the process, I’ll be upgrading the gallery to, er, Gallery2. Actually, that’ll be Step Number One. Maybe that’ll get done some time tomorrow if I wake up early enough to tinker with it before helping friends move.
The next step will be to implement this nifty little WordPress plugin.
All of you who can see where this is going, please move to the head of the class…
