Recently

Recently heard: a remake of "Come on Eileen," originally done by Dexy's Midnight Runners. The remake was done by a female lead singer and sounded, to my pained ears, like lounge music gone terribly, terribly wrong. I was most distressed.

Recently read: a lot of DU (democratic underground) forum posts. Some interesting links and news stories float up to the top there, and so I can get my political activist junkie thing going while still sitting on my ass and letting other people do the work. Heh.

Recently dreamed: about a dead man in a bath tub filled with sweet smelling herbs and flower petals. I was told that I had to keep him under the water, and so my arm was across the tub. He sat up, grabbed my arm, and started pulling me over and into the water. Again, I was most distressed. Arguably more so than when I heard the remake of Come on Eileen.

Recently bought: Babylon 5 season 4 on DVD. I'm such a junkie. Ok, be fair. We're such junkies. Todd has the urge to feed the need as much as I do. I just want to know what happens next, you know?

Recently been craving: Cake. Mmm, cake.

Recently saw: Strange men on my porch spraying toxic substances. Paint, to be precise. Thankfully, not at my plants.

Recently drank: Strawberry lemonade. I love summer.

Ok, enough with the recentlies. Back to work with me...

comment thingies

I've noticed today that when posting comments, after submission I never get a confirmation page. It sits and thinks on the page where I added my comment, and then just stops. I checked in each instance, though, and the comment did appear - I just didn't get the notification. Just something to be aware of...

I am awed by the power of "make" and "make install." Seriously, y'all, this is some impressive stuff.

- Yes, there is a Cassini-claus, and the pictures are that cool.

- When I go, I want to go in a fish?

Haven't had a chance to catch up on comments tonight. We had company (gasps of surprise go [here]), and then dinner, and then BossMan called, and now Todd's on the phone with his mom and I'm about to run to the store because we are out, OUT I say, of chai tea, and this seems to me an event which needs fixing right away. And so I go.
