Well, fall's come to Madison WI. Maybe people from Madison would disagree, but I say its defiantly here. Leaves are falling, temperatures are falling, and pretty soon snow will be falling. At that point I say, stay inside. So, we have about 4 weeks to get the remainder of our out door activities in. Gota get busy. 
A Sigh of Relief
I don't know why, but I had a sort of crappy day today. For one thing I thought it was Wednesday all day (not that that should make it a bad day, but it does kind of set you off a bit). I couldn't seem to make headway with any of the work I wanted to get done. And the dinner that I'd been sort of excited to make came out rather bland and disappointing.
But now things seem to have turned around. AMC is being kind enough to run (another) Audrey Hepburn marathon. So I just finished watching Roman Holiday and now I'm about 20 minutes into My Fair Lady. The apartment is quiet (other than the TV) and I've got a nice cup of tea and after I'm done here, I'm going to go sit on the couch and do a little work before I go to bed and finish watching Audrey's transformation.
Things always get better, eh?
A Few More Hours, Please?
Well … I've reached the end of my day. I've been up for 20 hours now and I've been busy almost all of that time. Yet I still have work to do. I guess it will have to wait 'til tomorrow though because about the most constructive thing I can do right now is rub my eyes …
Plus, late night TV is really awful.
Goodnight.
Hazah!
Well, it looks like our hang-ups with our IP issues are done for now. *Knock on Wood* With a little luck, we may be able to bring in some cash very soon.
I'm so tired right now. I was up very late working and Matt woke me up early this morning to take out the dog cuz he was running late. I didn't really go back to sleep.
Well I think I'm going to go watch some TV and rest. Matt and I will go out for a nice walk later.
My Dog is Driving Me Nuts!
I'm trying to work. Very complicated work at that. Syntaxy, layouty, problemy work and May just won't leave me alone. She is sitting by my chair and everytime I try to use the mouse and my elbow sticks a little off the desk, she starts licking me!! So I stop, pet her, tell her she's a good puppy and go back to work. More licking. I got up and gave her a treat and she went away for a while, but now she's back. I don't want to tie her up or scold her. She's not really doing anything wrong (from a dog's point of view).
Hmm … as I've been writing this, she's stopped licking me. I guess I ignored her into submission. She's now laying quietly by my feet.
If You Popped Enough Popcorn, Could it Eventually Blow Your Roof Off?
So Matt and I were just watching Real Genius (see link below). And so you come to the end scene where all the popcorn fills that guys house and we start pointing out all of the unrealistic aspects of the scene and the movie.
Being as we are both nerdy engineer types, it led to the question above. I think we finally agreed that no, it would probably just spill out your windows, because they're probably the weakest points. We'd like to do some experiments though.
Thoughts? Comments?
Farmers' Market Tooo Early
You know, the farmer’s market is great and all, but does it really need to start at 6:00 AM on a Saturday. You get up early all week, and on your one sleep in day, you gota wake up early again. My solution, start the Farmers market at noon. You wake up at 11:00, arrive at 12:00, eat at 1:00, days off to a good start and you’re well rested.
Two Cool Things
#1 – There is someone on Trading Spaces Boys VS. Girls whose name is Theresa Fung-Cooey … Which means that if you say her two last names backwards, she's Theresa Cung-Fooey. I laughed for like three minutes straight.
Krylon (or maybe Crylon?) is now making a spray paint for plastic!!!! That is so great. It “bonds at the molecular level” so you can paint cheap plastic crap in colors you'd actually like to have around.
It's a beautiful world we live in!
Strange Rumblings
Every once in a while (bi-weekly or so) we have a mini-earthquake in our apartment. Everything rumbles and shakes for a couple of seconds and then it's done. The first time I thought it was a fluke. Maybe even the second time.
Now I'm pretty sure that the quarry or mine or whatever you call it that's not too far from our apartment is the source of the mini-quakes. Maybe they're blasting stuff.
Well anyhow, I never wanted my life to be too stable.
Snifffffle!
Yeesh! I've got such bad allergies. I haven't missed a single Allegra and yet I'm still sniffling and sneezing and rubbing my eyes.
Anyhow, *sniffle*, I'm busy working on a buncha stuff. I've been really getting into style sheets lately. I have used them on and off for years but now I think I've made great leaps in understanding them. I love learning things.
Err … What else? Queer eye was not that great last night. The guy was sorta boring, so that was kind of a disappointment. But the OC was pretty fun.
