I watched a promo for the television show Will & Grace. The portion that had an interview with Michael Angarano, who plays Elliot, was the most interesting. I was impressed with his ease of talking in an interview format. This is the first time I've noticed him. This young actor is someone to keep track of through his career.

My favorite aunt called me tonight. I have been seriously thinking about writing a real letter... but... didn't and haven't. I was able to tell her that everything here is fine: my job is the same; the kid is doing football camp this week, will start football practice next month and will start some summer school classes for sax; the kid is mowing lawns to finance his Xbox interests. Elma had no exciting news to report from the West coast. She had news about my brother moving. Strange, yet not, I had to hear from someone two thousand miles away... about the activities of my brother and mom who live four hours away. My sister had called me last week wanting to talk. But I was just about to start watching a TV movie... and really just wanted to vedge. So we hung up without saying anything. I wonder if taking the time to talk to her would have informed me of the relocation.

The best Star Trek: TNG episode this week on The New TNN was Peak Performance. A simulated war game suddenly turns into a real-life fight for survival when the crew is ambushed by a Ferengi battleship. I loved the line from Worf when he tells Riker that one way to win the challenge is to use guile. Guile ::: treacherous cunning; skillful deceit; a trick or stratagem; to beguile; deceive.

I watched an interesting program on cable tonight. I've decided that Wilma Rudolph is probably my favorite woman athlete. Yet... this undoubtably is true for most women.

One of my favorite children's books is, "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie..." I was already in my early thirties when someone introduced me to this book. I love the graphics and the humor and the insane catalystic thought process of that mouse.

I like my cookies with milk. Not any milk, however. I want my milk very cold... in a chilled mug if possible. The best cookies are firm, but not crunchy; soft, but not crumbly. Chocolate Chip or Oatmeal Raisin... with nuts.

I wish I had some cookies and milk right now.

...have not done a link in a post before. Why not test it out? Am I Annoying? is an interesting site. A nice combination of design and entertainment.

This long holiday weekend, I thought I would spend some time working on my own Website for a change. However, this has turned into an obsession. I've been up w-a-y too late several nights in a row now. Too much Mountain Dew and too much I want to finish. Most of the problem is the perfectionist making hard crits of my work. I start a fun project at work tomorrow (well, rather, later today). I will be developing the user interface portion of a Web based tutorial. I may end of contributing much of the written documentation. :: nighters ::

Well, I found out why I am having so much trouble creating the archive files... the Blogger server was down. Oh. This is fun.

The last two days I have been combing through each page of code... upgrading to cleaner coding.

Playing with the time zone setting... twice

Started a new weblog.
