Musings, Part 1
Nov. 11th, 2005 12:10 pmOk, nothing special today, just hanging out at the library. So I thought I would ramble on. Weirdness ahead, so don't say you weren't warned.
Checked eBay today. Interesting children's book for sale called 'Mario Lemieux: Gentle Giant'. *SNERK* I should bid on it just for the hell of it. I mean, for everyone who thinks?/knows? that Mario is da Evil... And it's a kiddie book! Sometimes you just gotta wonder *who* gets these ideas for kid's books. Oh, and there is a autographed pic of Mario/Sid (at Sid's home arena, taken 8-28-05, IIRC) that is selling for about $4K! *SIGH* WHy don't *I* have something that cool to sell? I feel sorry for StK--just a kid and the sports paparrazzi (sic) is already in full swing. And the pics of him w/# 66 are, well, *unsettling*. They just keep reminding me of father/son pics... I dunno. Maybe he'll be adopted? Stay tuned for more of this, um, saga...
My fics are coming along ok. Nothing much new there. I'm too streesed and upset to do anything more than tinker. (Should I use a comma here or not? Why can't I find spell-check? Where are my many thesarus(s)? And so on.) Nothing is ready for beta by any stretch, at least not yet.
Going to have my techno-gifted cousin here for T'Day, so maybe I can get some pointers on what I'm doing wrong w/my 'puter. Also maybe I can pay him to buy an "update" for ZoneAlarm (*he* has a credit card), which has expired and makes me *really* nervous when I use my laptop online. I've got the cash, just no way to pay online.
LJ has no icons for "musing", "snerk" or "yakky". Damn.
