The List

The List is actually broke down into a few different lists. To pack, to clean, to buy, to do. I need to go over these little lists, check things off, modify items, make sure all the bases are covered. There are roughly 29 days for us to get our ducks in a row. I am finding myself craving going to Wal-Mart, for storage. The jerks are running this huge Rubbermaid event, with all of their storage crap on special. I see 3 chest drawers and go OMG I could use that. When we are all moved and settled, I will be sorting out leftovers, that really don’t have a home.. but need to be kept around for one reason or another. I need to measure out the height of the crawl space, so i can plan storage under it, so that things go in nice and neat. Everything will have its own little home, so that there is no digging through boxes going OMFSBJ where is this or that. Obsessive? yes. I’m not afraid to admit it*L* Now if you will excuse, I have a list to make.

she runs like a fire does

absolutely beautiful. This is the best I’ve heard since From the Choirgirl Hotel.

Thank you K.

blogs, databases, erased OH MY!

so today, I decided.. that Carrie Ann needed to be upgraded to the latest and greatest of pMachine. As many of you know, pMachine is now offering their Pro version for free, as they are no longer developing it. Expression Engine is taking off and over. I had already upgraded myself from 2.3pro to 2.4pro with only one minor screw up which was the forum. I figured out why THAT happened today as well. I never had the forum setup on the 2.3 install, so on 2.4 it was like HWAT? no. get lost. But that is fixed.

So I tell Carrie, OMG, you need to be updated. I am dropping everything, and now I shall go take care of your security and Russian Spam problems. So I get moving on things, install 2.4pro and notice at the refresh of her blog that her template is all screwed up. Then on second look I realize there is only ONE entry on her index.php. In a moment of panic, I ask K to quickly access her database. It’s 90K in size. NOTHING there, but the install of 2.4pro. Bring in, the OMG CARRIE, feeling like I’m gonna puke, feeling like butt because I wiped 3 years of memories and writing clean that wasn’t even mine. She handled it well, though I know she probably wanted to punch me in the head. I frantically emailed our host asking if they had this mornings backup and if they did could they just drop it back in for me.

Photo of the Week Jan 17-23

Entries over on Photo of the Week. There are 2 of Tim Monger of the Great Lakes Myth Society, from back in the day of being TOBASOL. There is also another of Jimmie Dale Gilmore, from the 2003 Bluesfest.

So earlier today

I sorta had this moment of RAH SCREW YOU PEOPLE.. where I started thinking about this blog and how I should use it more effectively. A few days ago, I wrote a letter, it was the most cruel and horrible thing I have ever written or said to anyone. But you know what? I feel great that I’ve gotten all that shit out, I sorta wish I hadn’t SENT the letter, but I feel better having vented and gotten some of it out.

I usually temper what I write on this site, for privacy or not upsetting some. I also temper images and content in general about what I post, because some people deem things offensive or innappropriate. I feel like saying tough luck. I have been respecting that for 3 years now, and you know what? suddenly I find the reasons behind that respect lacking due to dishonesty, lack of being upfront-ness. It makes me want to throw up a set of boobies, and blog about sex sites on the internet. Not really the mature way of it all, but I want to. It’s my way of “showing my flair” ala Jenn Aniston in Office Space. You want flair? Hrm? THERE. there’s my flair.

I want to be bold and blunt, I want to be sarcastic and scathing. I want to write about the shit driving me mad, or making me sad.. without having to worry about JoeSchmo. There is a moment every day when I wish I had never shared this URL with some people. If I had some use for dreaminginreality.com, I’d just go and get a secret blog domain. Screw the world, screw your fatkins diet, screw your bad driving habits, and screw censoring yourself.

Fuck it. I have to go to Wal-Mart.

I swear

blogger is the biggest piece of shit ever*L* Like for real guys, make your code tags more obtuse.

HEHEEahahahahah

what was that phrase? oh yes.. -bes a blog snob-

kidding.. i have a LJ.. but i was ok.. i just read.. the news! for once.

So..I’m gonna give something

a try here.. it could potentially screw DIR up a bit*L* so, I’m off to backup things.. incase I do.. so if things go a little weird, have no fear, it’s just me trying to be nerdy.

Maybe this time

Red is the theme for Photo of the Month and these peppers were the most red I have. I also of course have a few images over in the photo of the week competition too. One of Dutchess, a staircase and a BellCan label. You have to be registered to vote/comment. -winknudge-
