I just got home a couple hours ago, one of my girlfriends and I went to celebrate my birthday with a belated dinner at Leeann Chin, in downtown St. Paul at the old Union Depot. They have the best Peking chicken. Beautiful place for dinner. I told her I would have been happy going to Burger King and then out for a drinkie poo or two. It\u2019s a little fancy, a bit more pretense and linen table dressings than I require, but nonetheless delightful.<\/p>\n
Lord help me, I\u2019m 28 YEARS OLD! I hope my mother isn\u2019t reading this, I\u2019d hate to put her in a bad mood, just in time for Easter. Speaking of Easter, did anyone catch the Jesus miniseries on CBS? It was on Sunday and finished last night. I thought it was pretty good. I am usually not a fan of made for tv productions, but I was moved. I also now think Jeremy Sisto is the hottest thing next to my toaster! (he takes 2nd billing, to Craig Kilborn yum yjm.<\/p>\n
Now I\u2019m beat and getting ready for bed, after a long day at work. BUT FIRST!<\/p>\n
Update It\u2019s not a secret anymore Minnesota, home of fugitive kidnappers! Speaking of freaky Minnesotans,<\/strong> Would you pay $164.00<\/strong> for this?<\/strong> The brook stops babbling<\/strong> I stopped contributing a long time ago, \u2019cause I felt cheated, when they changed all the topic categories on me. Did anyone notice back then, how they threatened to delete your content if you didn\u2019t move all your articles to their new categories (which all sucked, I couldn\u2019t possibly re-categorize my pieces any better than they already had been)! bastards.<\/p>\n In hopes of receiving a teeny weeny bit of service, I wrote them to indicate my wishes for the money my content earned, and perhaps to get a teeny weeny bit of customer service. Ha. I get more of a f**@ing pleasant sensation from my grumpy ass bus driver every morning at rush hour.<\/p>\n Here is the response I got:<\/p>\n =============<\/p>\n Due to the adverse business climate, the Themestream web service closed its doors effective April 13, 2001. The entire Themestream staff has been let go.<\/p>\n Additional information may be posted on the Themestream website at http:\/\/www.themestream.com\/ from time to time as new information becomes available.<\/p>\n Please check the website to see if it provides an answer to your inquiry. If not, you may reply to mailto:mailto:answers@themestream.com. However, please do not expect an immediate reply since we no longer have a customer support staff.<\/p>\n Thank you for your interest and continued support.

Woods<\/p>\n This is kind of a cool site: 1000journals. It\u2019s an exhaustive look into journals that have been found by people, where the journals have been, what the people were up to and about their lives. Now, I\u2019ve kept myself many a journal over the years, but for the past two years I have done it online. I found this to be pretty interesting, if you are the sort of person who\u2019d enjoy reading another\u2019s journal. Check it out.<\/p>\n Alright, I\u2019m outta here, people\u2026 toodles!<\/p>\n \nOther posts on this day:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cYeah, uh\u2026lemme get summa that mushu pork\u2026what?

\nJust for a change of pace, I was reading the SkyWatch segment of my local paper this morning. (I usually only read the front, entertainment news, and local sections). I got jipped, I tell ya, and this ain\u2019t the first time! I was happily reading about the fact that \u201cUrsa Major is highly visible this time of year, even during the day except that in some parts of Minnesota, due to the urban light pollution and sunshine you can\u2019t realy see it at all. At night, you can only see tail end of it\u2026\u201d and that\u2019s all I got! The story said it continues on page 2B but on 2B there is only a bunch of other stuff, and ads! Damned paper! I had to go read the rest of the article online and boy, that just frosts my hide, \u2019cause I was trying to read the story on the bus.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>The lamest new product line to come out since I don\u2019t-know-what. Proctor & Gamble has come out with three new different types of Secret anti-perspirant & deodorant. You can choose from \u2018optimist\u2019, \u2018ambitious\u2019, and \u2018genuine\u2019. I don\u2019t know which one smells better but I would hope that if one were wearing it, others couldn\u2019t immediately pen you as \u2018being\u2019 one or the other. None of them really fits me. I had to go check out their site to see if they had a \u2018crazy ugly bitch\u2019 or \u2018the glass is half empty\u2019 variety, but alas, I came away disappointed. Doubly so. Recently, the company had put on a Secret to Self-Esteem symposium, to encourage girls to become strong women. They talk about how healthy self-esteem helps build confidence, pride and strength, and discussed body image, healthy relationships, stress management and goal setting. Next thing they\u2019ll talk about, I expect: \u2018Manage living vicariously through your unfaithful, beer-guzzling, golf addict, secretary-bonking husband! Put on a snappy backyard bar-b-que at the last minute, just for the sake of impressing his boss and the Joneses, keeping a smile pasted to your mug all the while!\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/strong>What a pleasant place live, I tell ya. This guy forced the Mall of America (or as us local yokels call it, the Mega Mall) to close down last month and lose millions of dollars worth of business, because he was leading the police on a wild goose chase. He had been eluding them since November, which is when he escaped prison, where he was being held on assault and weapons charges. In March, the cops were willing to plea-bargain his punishment down to 5 years maximum in prison if he would have turned himself in THEN. But noooo, he had to go on a wild car-stealing spree, and then kidnap that poor girl from Nebraska. Now he\u2019s lookin\u2019 at a very long term of anal service. Way to go Tony! Ya jerk. You got what you deserved.<\/p>\n
\nI have been staying up late to catch the Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn. God. He is sooo damned clever and witty and adorable. I\u2019ve been following his career since he did The Daily Show a few years back and I especially loved the commericals he did for the show and the \u20185 Questions\u2019 that they used to have on it. In case you couldn\u2019t already tell, I\u2019m a big fan. I once went so far as writing him a fan letter and I even downloaded the Comedy Central screensaver of him dancing around. I think he used to also be the host of Short Attention Span Theater, which was a show that Comedy Central put out back when the channel debuted on cable tv. For the record, I do like Jon Stewart too but I don\u2019t have cable right now (whaaaahhh) so I don\u2019t get to see him anymore!<\/p>\n
\nI could barely look at it. casketfurniture.com says they \u201chave created a unique line of furniture that can be used as a casket at the time of need. Using quality woods and veneers we\u2019ve come up with a practical solution to the high cost of caskets. Rather then spending thousands of dollars and using the casket once you can use the piece of fine casket furniture for many years to come.\u201d [\u2026so after you use it once, you keep it and you do WHAT with your dearly departed? -bj] and \u201cWe are happy to offer free shipping to all of our North American customers.\u201d Well, hell, if you\u2019re gonna pull your truck up on my street and haul a damned CASKET up the sidewalk to my house, I\u2019d BETTER not have to pay for it!<\/p>\n
\nJust got an email TODAY from Themestream, saying they will close its doors April 13. They also say that it is very unlikely that they\u2019ll be able to pay any other creditors and contributors. Oh, by the way, you have until April 12, 2001 (TODAY!) to download your articles if you don\u2019t have local copies.<\/p>\n
