C'mon, C'mon, do what you want...

Sooooo, this will be a long, disconnected rambling post about a few different things. Roll up your sleeves...dig in...keep up.

I bowled a 162 in my second game last night. I was ON FIRE baby! Two strikes in the 10th, I almost turkeyed (can I use that as a verb? No? Shit...too bad) It's gotta be the shoes. My other two games were p.i.t.i.f.u.l. Below my average. And my average isn't all that high, people. But my second game now raised my average overall. Oy. Pretty soon I won't be able to live up to my own standards. Huh. Not so unfamiliar a concept.

Anyway.

In other news I signed up for Netflix today. Anyone using it? I know Scott is and has been since Moby Dick was a minnow. But he's technologically savvy like that and I tend to leave my extreme geekness in the office. Though I guess Netflix isn't really all that "geek" a thing to do. Every day people are all over Netflix, light years before me. I added a handful of movies to my queue. It will be a very exciting day when that first envelope arrives. I wonder if it will feel like that commercial and when I get the email that they're sending me a movie I'll come home and the Napoleon Dynamite guy will be sitting on my sofa, only he's not Napoleon Dynamite...he's whatever his character's name is in Benchwarmers, because that's what's at the top of my queue.

In other news...when you first started dating your husband/wife/life partner/flesh-eating disease...what did you do? Where did you go? Date ideas anyone?

Did I mention I bowled a 162?

I am exhausted today. And it is, of course, an action packed weekend. Tiger Cub meeting at my house tonight, hair appt tomorrow (hooray!), skating party tomorrow afternoon, football game on Sunday. I'm planning on making stuffed cabbage one of these days...mmmmmmmm...cabbage.

What are you doing?
Come to Renssel-tucky for some action packed football! Game time 1:30pm.

The best part about Netflix is the fights. I'm sure Robinson is shopping for a new husband (and she has so many reasons do so) because of the Netflix queue. It is heavily weighted with documentaries and foreign films.

RebPak, don't give your husband the user/pwd of the account until your retirement balance nears 2mil.

You'll have to excuse me why I work on installing Asterisk at the home. We need a phone system... right? And, of course, it has to be open-sourced.

Oh, the other thing that almost ended our relationship was me dumping land-line phones for Vonage back in 2002.

Let's not forget when I refused to let the kids use anything but a Linux desktop.

And...

When I insisted on painting the Rensselaer house. I believe that took only two years and several thousands of dollars.

Finally...

The computers at the house. I believe the top number was a dozen.

Oh, maybe the end was almost met when we had a dozen computers and four game consoles.

Really, RebPak, how could you let a nice girl like Robinson marry me.

The other day, I threatened to replace the dogs with poddles (they were acting up). She said, "God, no! I'd rather you replaced them with a shell script."

I bet y'all miss me. I'm pretty sure Robinson wishes I still only spent four days in Michigan.

Memories, like the corners of my mind. Hearing all of this is making me laugh, Scott...I, too, tried to force my kids to use Fedora Core, that didn't work out so well.

Let me know how it goes with Asterisk...

Unfortunately Scott, by the time I really got to know Robinson to the point where she might actually listen to me, the damage was done.

We're actually doing a free month of Blockbuster's mail program and loving it. The major difference is that you can have up to three DVDs at a time with Blockbuster, but it's $14.95 a month vs. $9.95. I've watched a ton of movies already in three weeks, but I love that they have everything whereas our dinky video stores in our small town don't.

Benchwarmers Rocks!!!!! One of the funnest movies I have seen in a long time.

were you planning on it? come over and sleep over. Since I have been most anti-social, I didn't feel up to a sleep over.

Date idea:
Go to the Zoo without the kids.
Ditch the kids and have your own happy spa.
