It took me over twenty minutes to post this day&#8217;s entries. Blogger publishing seems to be slow, or down. I checked status.blogger.com and there&#8217;s nothing there to tell me any different, and also status.blogspot.com, and no news there, which leaves me to use the Adminimizer toolbar from ASP Modules. If you don&#8217;t have it yet, GET IT. It&#8217;s easy to install, and although mine leaves my date header looking kinda funny (it lines up weirdly), I do find it comes in handy when you really need to post something on the days when Blogger is for shit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Napping. It&#8217;s not just for kids and lazy people anymore.<\/b><br>\nThe tradition of napping in other countries is supposedly dying out. It&#8217;s been proven be a healthful and refreshing and even life-extending benefit to notable folks like Winston Churchill, Thomas Edison, Napolean Bonaparte, Johannes Brahms, and Ronald Reagan, so why didn&#8217;t Americans ever emphasize the need for one? Is our society afraid of being called lazy? Just because we need a little break? You decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Posted by dayleeblog <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>New Audio CD&#8217;s on the Market Will Not Play on CD-ROM Devices<\/b><br>\nIn the near future, a large amount of new audio CD&#8217;s released by recording artists will not play properly in your computer&#8217;s CD-ROM player. Why? Because, a-la Napster, once again, it&#8217;s a battle of copyrights. Sony figures that people who will play a band&#8217;s audio CD in a CD-ROM player, are most likely to also be the ones ripping and trading the songs for free to others, and thus encouraging pirating the music without paying for it. With that in mind, they&#8217;ve gone and encoded the redbook audio to play well only in traditional home and car CD audio components, but terribly in computer CD and CD-ROM devices. I know because I saw this on the news. They took Celine Dion&#8217;s new CD (Couldn&#8217;t they have picked ANYONE ELSE?!), which was known to have used this new technology, and put it into a CD-ROM device to play. The resulting sounds were very skippy, and staticy at best, otherwise it sounded as though you had taken 2 hits of LSD, and were listening to whales singing in a bad gospel church choir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Posted by dayleeblog <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Fox TV Cancels &#8216;Ally McBeal&#8217;<\/b><br> I don&#8217;t know where I was when this hit the news, &#8217;cause I missed it. Had I known, I&#8217;d have baked a cake and threw a party. You all know how much I loathe this show, this waste of an hour of someone&#8217;s precious time, so you know of course how elated I am to hear this. I was gravely saddened however, upon learning that this absurdity of TV had insidiously reached its 100 episode-mark earlier this winter. This is horrific to me because everyone knows once a show has reached this point, it&#8217;s going to be syndicated. Thrown back at us over and over and over again like some sort of nasty broken record. So for me the news is bittersweet. Oh well. I suppose I could try and get over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Posted by dayleeblog<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, in the last two weeks here in Minnesota, it has snowed, rained &amp; hailed, and we&#8217;ve had record breaking high temps. Monday it got to 93 degrees! WTF?! The weather here is unbearable, and moody as fuck. It&#8217;s like Sybil, complete with 27 personalities. I can&#8217;t complain that much about Monday since I refuse to get my air conditioner from downstairs and install it, since I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be here past June. Last night the thunderstorm woke most people in the Twin Cities metro, it was very loud and it seemed to go and then come back several times during the wee hours of the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our lack of fun activities lately has gotten me down. Well, when SuperCross came to town, we planned to go and missed it. Then the last Monster Truck rally came and we really wanted to go and didn&#8217;t. Now the World of Wheels has come and gone. My fiancee is the BIGGEST procrastinator. I thought I was the worst. No. It&#8217;s him. We plan and plan and plan and discuss and&#8230;.nothing.<br>\nI even get INTO the shower, get dressed, get ALL BUT READY to walk out the door, and he says I don&#8217;t feel like it&#8230;.maybe next time around. This is getting to be really annoying. Especially when friends and family want us to be in with their plans amd we tell them, &#8220;Oh, we can&#8217;t come, we&#8217;re going to the car show that day.&#8221; And then we can&#8217;t join them because it&#8217;s too late. I&#8217;ll admit I&#8217;m a big lazy fool too, but it&#8217;s mostly him, and aside from beating him upside the head, what I do to help alleviate this problem? Who knows. I&#8217;ll think about it later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the bright side, tomorrow James and I are going down south to my mom&#8217;s lake resort spot and help build her deck. It should be fun, provided the weather is nice. Today it&#8217;s nice and Springy. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s more than 70 out right now but it&#8217;s feelin&#8217; pretty good. I&#8217;ve got all my windows open and I&#8217;m getting ready to do some hefty spring cleaning before my friend comes over. I&#8217;m teaching her a few software programs, just covering the basics. Right now I&#8217;m trying to find a few good online tutorials I can refer her to for when she wants to do more stuff later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Posted by dayleeblog <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What&#8217;s with Christina Appelgate lately? Didn&#8217;t she used to be much better looking? I think now that she&#8217;s off TV and into being a movie star again, she&#8217;s on that popular Hollywood diet, called SMOKE &amp; COKE. Ladies, when we can see your rib bones between your breasts, it&#8217;s NOT sexy. At least to my fiancee, who was thinking this outloud to me the other night. Haha<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jennifer and Brad pregnant? Good for them. Hope they lay off the SMOKE &amp; COKE now. At least &#8217;til the brat&#8217;s born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And what happened to http:\/\/www.riotgrrl.com? Did they get shut down? I used to love reading that site and then I found out that a link I had to one of their articles was bad. On further investigation, I find it&#8217;s gone. They had my favorite morph pic game there, called &#8220;Feed The Supermodel&#8221;. There was a pic every week of some sorry-ass skinny chick who looked like she needed a sandwich, and STAT. You could feed her food to make it all better. Do you remember it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Posted by dayleeblog <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">YAY!

In it he points out bloggers as being amateur journalists, because he considers us bloggers to be &#8220;&#8230;inherently biased and unedited.&#8221; True enough. To my credit, I&#8217;ve never claimed to be edited, unbiased in my blogging, or even promote myself as a valued news source. This is just my little sick idea of fun, this ranting and raving about my personal life and scattering news articles and commentary hither and yon. However, must us bloggers follow a Blogging Code of Ethics?. Hmm. Well, professional journalists have to. In it, there are itemized standards under major subheadings which outline ways journalists are to behave, some of which include several things that I see some bloggers do, and alot which we don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I shall say that I have found some bloggers to be followers of some of these principles, blogging somewhat responsibly. Such bloggers seek out truth in subjects of news stories, give credit to their sources (I see some bloggers do this but not all&#8230;), separate and point out particular content as news, and other content as being commentary, (don&#8217;t misrepresent) and also encourage public discussions about your published topics (even opposing ones). I think that to be true to our &#8216;amateuristic&#8217; ways, though, that we remain somewhat oblivious to alot of &#8216;standards&#8217; when it comes to blogging. Almost all of the parts above, which I picked out of the SPJ code, are (IMHO) not all that commonplace in the average blog. Right? Right.

And you? Find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today is Sunday. I feel like I missed all of Saturday. It was definitely a lazy day, James and I really didn&#8217;t do a whole lot. You know once in while you have those days where you really don&#8217;t move much from the couch? Well yesterday that was us. Which is weird because I really wanted to get out , get up, and get stuff done. Not important stuff! Anyway, I live for Saturdays. Here in Minnesota it&#8217;s been about 40-45 degrees (which to us is kinda warm!) pretty much the whole weekend. I can&#8217;t wait for it to be spring soon, so we can go out and do more stuff on weekends (and avoid sitting around too much like it&#8217;s easy to do in Winter). Anyhoo, although I want to forget about most of it, here&#8217;s a recap of my week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monday I worked on looking for another job, and talked to a woman at the Legal Secretaries&#8217; Registry in Minneapolis for a bit, about some positions she had available. I also had to work that night, so the day went by pretty quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuesday, my mother took me out for lunch to Awada&#8217;s on Plato and we had a fabulous dish called Salmon Angelina. It is made with angel hair pasta, wine, garlic and cream, and tossed with plum tomatoes, marinated artichokes and topped with grilled salmon and fresh parmesan. YUM! Then I worked on the blog archives for a bit and went to work at five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wednesday Cheir and I went out for lunch at this restaurant on Robert street called Beruit. They have the best Lebanese cuisine there! We had fallafel, babbe ganooj, beef and chicken shishk took (pronounced tah-uk: kababs) and lots of Lebanese bread, tahini and tebbuli (Greek salad). I also had the appetizer called fatoosh, which isn&#8217;t a far cry from tebbuli execpt that there are tomato chunks and a lemony garlic sauce and little toasted pita corners in it. MMmmmmm&#8230; We stank like garlic for the whole day and into the evening. Then we went to Target since she needed some essentials and I pondered getting an e.p.t. kit since I was unsure and very very late this month. I chose not to. Glad I didn&#8217;t&#8230;those suckers are pricey. Instead I opted to take a test at the clinic. I was negative!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My weekend sort of started out Thursday with me being a very bad mood. Then Friday, James and I sort of had a fight. We both love to debate current events and issues about politics, social issues, etc., but it just wasn&#8217;t a good time for me, apparently, because I was very angry about the things he kept bringing up. He was re-hashing his opinion on things we had already gone over a million times and I was trying to tell him that I&#8217;d already shared with him my stance on those topics and didn&#8217;t care to discuss them any further. It escalated into an argument Well, I got very upset at him and I left the apartment for a few hours to go to my mom&#8217;s. I think that since some of the things we were arguing about had to do with our future children, our married life together, etc., he had every right to want to discuss them. But for some reason, talking about them made me just upset (I guess I&#8217;m a raging bucket o&#8217; hormones). In any case, when I went home later we talked and resolved some issues. Then we made up, all nicey nice again and went to the grocery store to get stuff for dinner. I was telling him about the lovely dish I had for lunch with mom Tuesday and we still had a large salmon filet in the fridge that had to be eaten. So he made me Salmon Fettucine Alfredo with mushrooms. It was deeeevine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saturday morning I got my period. We were elated, to say the very least. He went in to work for a few hours and I got a few (very few) things done around the apartment. Then we spent the day cuddling on the couch and channel surfing, and took turns napping. Around dinner time we decided we were in the mood for sushi but I was waiting for my friend Chanstay to call. I offered to help fix her computer and get it set up so she could go online with her DSL. We went over there around 8 and stayed for awhile after. Then we went driving around Grand Avenue looking for a Byerly&#8217;s so we could get some sushi since it was 11:30, we knew we weren&#8217;t gonna be able to go out somewhere to eat. We ended up going to the Byerly&#8217;s store in Eagan and then went home. We missed about half of SNL but anyway&#8230;.all&#8217;s well that ends well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PS- I&#8217;m looking for a host that can provide LOTS of file space, CGI, Perl, version 5.004_04 or greater and FTP, for very little or no cost.

Within a month having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed a claim against the insurance company. In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost &#8220;in a series of small fires.&#8221; The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason: that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion. The lawyer sued&#8230;.and won! In delivering the ruling the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The Judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be unacceptable fire,&#8221; and was obligated to pay the claim. Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000.00 to the lawyer for his loss of the rare cigars lost in the &#8220;fires.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NOW FOR THE BEST PART&#8230; After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON!!!! With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000.00 fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Posted by dayleeblog <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ooh, ooh!
