Found out my company, Northrop Grumman, donated $1 million to the disaster effort.
They are also matching dollar for dollar all employee contributions. Yay

N.O.,
I have got to stop watching the news. I am getting way too into this whole New Orleans
tragedy. I was listening to Z104 on the way home and they were talking to this guy in
N.O. and he was giving his eye witness account of the whole thing and you could just
hear how devastated he was by the whole thing and I just began to weep. More and
more stories I hear it just gets me so riled up. And now I'm watching Dateline, and
besides Stone Philips looking more like an android by the minute, the whole thing is just so horrible. Arg. I just need to reread my post of yesterday over and over.

Question: Does anyone know any good books on LDAP? We here have the last free
version available and no one to administer it. That's where I come it. I need to bone up but there are so many books out there. I am leaning for the O'reilly because they are usually the best. Any suggestions?"

I'm not saying i'm a genius, but these ignorant people in my office really piss me off. I'm gonna get in trouble for decking some nit wit in the hallway.

ya know, if you're in Outlook and press 'x' to delete something. Nothing happens. Why
can't everything be likevi.

Coasters and coasters and still more coasters. What an awesome and much needed little break from everything. This past weekend Ky and I went to Ohio to go to Cedar Point. This is the park that I have been wanting to go to forever and I finally had the chance to go and it was better than I could have hoped. Top Thrill Dragster was down all weekend which was sad that it was okay. We found plenty of other coasters to make up happy. So we left saturday morning from Dulles, watched Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends on the plane on my laptop. Had the COOLEST chick at a flight attendant. She really seemed to love her job. Got to cleveland and got the car and headed to the park. Got there like 11:30 and instantly rode the coasters. Millennium Force is right now my favorite coaster. It's 310ft high, 6595ft long and 93 mph. This thing is like sex. Its fluid and exhilirating and when you come off the right you can't help but smile. The ride ops always ask 'How was the ride?" and you can't help but clap and scream because it was so good. We rode this 4 times in 2 days. The wait for each time was about an hour to an hour and a half. The back of the car is the best but it is also the scariest. The last ride of the day was always MF and at 9:30 at night in the dark and you're going up this 45 degree lift hill and a good click and you look up and you can't see the track...damn that's scary. And everything else in the park was fun too. Rides that you have to ride because you're there were all good and surprising. I am still in awe. I NEED to go back. Trying to make this a yearly event. :)

more later. getting to excited

why is it that when all I want to do is fucking work, so i have my headphones on listening to my ipod and ingnoring all the talk in my cube, that everyone tells me to wake up when they leave. If I wanted to talk to you I would have said so. And I have never fallen alseep at work. God I hate people sometimes. I need Cheese again to make me realize that kids are cool.

Big happy birthday to disc_sophist and cavenessity, two wonderful women.

2005-09-12 10:00:00
Anyone ever get desk vertigo? I'm sitting here typing on stuff and it feels like the whole world in see-sawing like a ship in the ocean. Very disconcerting.

Had a really freaking nice weekend. Spent the weekend at Ky's as usual but this time had Elizabeth and Stuart (i'm not sure how to spell that... hmm) come down and play. Everyone showed up around 3 and we vegged and had a beer or two and chatted and hung out and watched the dogs play. Then during the walk in the back my dogs, as per usual, found the muddy creek. So i hosed them off but they still STANK. So before eating we headed to Graves Mill and all frolicked in the water with the dogs. It's so awesome have two golden retrievers because they love the water and seeing them swim is the cutest thing. Came back and made tacos and margaritas and had been and vodka and tequila....well needless to say I was TrAsHeD. Holy shit I felt bad that next morning. But that night we all sat out in the driveway and watched stars and chatted there may have been a moment when I had glow in the dark clip on ear rings on my nipples...but there i no proof. Sunday we woke up late, Elizabeth made this french bread french toast with a caramel sauce with real strawberries....yum. We headed to Blue Ridge Pottery, played Mini golf and then ate dinner and came home. It was just a nice weekend of getting to know each other and relaxing in the county."

Brokeback Mountain
Wow. Just saw the trailer for Brokeback Mountain and I am more excited than ever to see that movie. The story was amazing and from the short trailer I was already starting to well up. It looks like a beautiful moving movie.

2005-09-14 09:53:00
funky mood. weather giving me headache. i miss theatre. i takes up an insane amount of time, until i can quit my job and do it full time (insert laughter here), but god i miss it. While I wait for this 562 page iPlanet admin guide to print out I thought I would clean my gmail and i ran across a bunch of stuff from the summer and then began to think about how fun that was. Sigh. I need theatre soon, my theatre meter is running low.

i need to pee.

2005-09-14 11:12:00
heheh ran across this pic from the summer after cleaning my computer at work while on this EXTREMELY boring telecon. Why do people feel the need to restate the same thing over and over. Ug.

Ah yes. painfully suburban. Yet so cute with the trying to be gangsta.

2005-09-14 13:51:00
And that would be an 'in your face bitch' moment. I freely sing from the roof tops that I know nothing about LDAP, though I am learning. I just read something about something called ldapmodify and tried to tell this woman at the office and she was all like 'that don't exist' and I was all like 'oh yeah it do' and then she went and got all perpendicular on me and so I called her a bitch and slapped her and she grabbed my dress and we fell in the pool...

uh..

Well the first half of that is true. The other half was a Dynasty flashback. Conclusion: she did a man on ldapmodify and lo and behold, there it was. I strutted back to my desk. :)

i know it's the age old addage but why does the bad stuff taste so good? I mean the good stuff is fine and drinking water does make you feel better but a salad versus a fat juicy hamburger is really no contest. And getting to the gym is a pain in the but. I have this grand scheme to wake up at 6:30, be on the road by 7, at the gym by 7:30 work out for 30 minutes on the Precor, shower at the gym (ick) and then be at work by 8:30 or 9. Lofty goal yes especially since I am NOT a morning person but I would so rather get it done in the morning. If my knees weren't so bad, insert joke here, I would run around my neighborhood. i need a workout buddy. Ballys anyone?

2005-09-15 15:57:00
i like raisins

2005-09-16 15:55:00
ebay is a bad thing. I've given up on working cause people just suck my taint. but i just bought an old mac classic in so-so condition that i'm going to turn into a bank or something. And many years ago, like 13, when i was working at the Warner Bros Studio Store they had a watch that I loved but I was greedy and sold it to a customer for twice what I paid for it. Its a limited run. Well i found that on ebay as well. I have for some reason regretted selling that watch. I want to get it back but it's already at $80. Dammit.

shuffle
Is there a way to shuffle inside of a genre on an iPod?

2005-09-19 13:33:00
Maybe I was preparing for Talk Like A Pirate Day, but on saturday, in the throws of sex I actually went AAARRRRG. I thought I was going to laugh my head off. I have no idea where that came from. Talk about breaking the moment.

2005-09-19 16:09:00
for the record I hate today and I want it to go away. Thank you.

2005-09-20 13:59:00

One - Metallica (god i have the production on that song)
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - London Cast of Mary Poppins
Where you are - Rascal Flatts
Perpetual - VNV Nation
Burnin' Love - Wynonna Judd

No wonder i'm so spastic and off beat.

2005-09-21 09:14:00
20 minutes into work and I want to leave here screaming, go home and sit in a tub of jello and just masturbate no reason for the whole jello thing but i just love it

don't you just love it when everything breaks really bad? what makes it more fun is that this is what we have been telling the developers all along and now that it's happened we have this sly smile on our faces as we rush around trying to get it all working again.

Silly developers, dataservers are for the OPS team.

Once again I am asking for donations. I know it's been an incredibly rough time for a lot of the world and part of me feels like I shouldn't ask for donations in this time of other needs but this is something that won't go away in just a few months. If you can donate, I would greatly appreciate it. CLICK HERE TO DONATE Let's now pray Rita cause as little damage as possible.

2005-09-22 10:11:00
wow, i'm being a dick today. Someone ran over my mental dog this morning or something. I am antsy, cranky, pissed, and short with everyone I encounter today. I think this is a reset day.

2005-09-22 12:15:00
my thumb smells like vanilla pudding and I have no idea why.

2005-09-23 10:15:00
Nation last night was fun. Good to see people and hang and listen to good loud music. I am WASTED energy wise. I was even too tired to whack-off ( i love that term) last night. Lesson learned last night: Black DOES NOT make people look thin. Well maybe in the dark but once they walked under the light next to our SPX table, wow, it was fatalicious. I have no problem with fat people, ok thats a lie. I mean I need to lose a few pounds, my goal is a very svelte 165, i'm 175 now. I can do eet! What the fuck am I talking about...hmm... i dont remember

2005-09-23 10:21:00

Safe word is Banana.

Random ramblin's:

I love family guy

Had a dream last night that I was about to get on stage and I had no idea what my lines were. It was Jaki and Me and Elise and ... there were some other Rudes there as well and I remember sitting back stage and knowing the script but not rehearsing it in a while and i was about to walk out not knowing what I was about to say. It was horrible because I didn't want to let down anyone. Horrible dream to say the least.

There was something in there with Nation as well. I have always loved the feel of thursdays and I think i was filming a movie and there were lots of people there, like trinty3kim and hotfix and nofcna and there was something involving Serenity where trinity3kim had this really cool leather brown duster and was all kick ass...

Weekend was cool. Sent the majority of the time at SPX wandering around or working the CBLDF booth. Found a bunch of really sweet comics and some cool shirts. I also won at auction this litho of a monley under a tree typing on a typewriter. I'll have to scan it somehow. Ky came up yesterday and we walked the con floor for a bit and hung out.

Brother and the kids came over last night. My god son is SO damn cute. He kept walking about to me and saying HI Brett. My brother gave me brotherly crap about not owning property and I told him I'm trying but just cause he has a 7,000 square foot house doesn't mean the rest of us can afford places. Even a 500 sq ft place like i want. lol

Seeing Serenity tonight, hopefully i get there on time. I NEED to see this movie.

2005-09-26 22:22:00
Serenity
Soooooooo goooooooood. I am actually speechless. That and if I say anything at all, I'll get my ass kicked.

2005-09-28 12:17:00
holy crap today just swung into crazy mood. Things were so relaxed and now I want to run screaming out of the building. It's always fun to get as much done before the contract possibly expires on friday. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE kill me

2005-09-28 12:35:00
Mmmm Firefly. Can't wait to see Serenity on sunday. Sadly i can't make it to the show with everyone on Friday. And so, Firefly quotes:

Jayne:into radio Testing. Captain, can you hear me?
Mal:
I'm standing right here.
Jayne:
into radio You're coming in good and loud, too.
Mal:
'Cause I'm standing right here.

Mal:You know, they tell ya to never hit a man with a closed fist but it is, on occasion,
hilarious.

I'm posting lots, that means one of three things:

A) the server went down
B)...
Oh crap it's just A

Book: If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of
Hell, a level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Zoƫ: Shepard, isn't the Bible kind of specific about killing?
Book: Very specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzy around the area of kneecaps.

2005-09-29 10:29:00

Wynonna Judd kicks ASS. That is all.

2005-09-29 16:31:00
so i'm having this odd heart swell as i sit here listening to all this music that is conjuring up these wonderful memories and i can't help but think that i am so lucky to have the friends i do. so many nice and caring and hot and loving people. it's so incredible to think how many people there are in the world and how many we are around each day that we don't connect with and for some reason something has connected us. some fall away and some aren't as close as others but to me that's all part of life. not everyone is going to be a best friend but even the faintest acquaintence was drawn into your magnetic field for some reason. i'll be better once i stop listenning to wynonna and once the weekend is done. thanks for letting me be just a little bit psycho sometimes and all the crap. i need to poo.
