Welcome
by Denise Sawicki on August 1, 2006

Not a lot happens in my life that I feel I can talk about publicly! There's my work, but we all know you can't talk about that. We're involved in a politcal thing that, if life were like an episode of Monk, would surely get us all killed. There's people in my thoughts who wouldn't want me mentioning them.

Therefore, here is a picture of a sheltie!



Also, I am mildly curious today about the fate of numberonemusic.com. I always kind of figured it was a scam, and now it's been missing for two days. My husband's band had a site up there. We gave them money. Oh well. It was a small price to pay for a couple months of him feeling that his band actually had fans. I feel it *should* have fans, but that is just me.

Great. I've been looking for that shirt ever since I visited.

I hope you didn't give too much money to the other site. Maybe they're about to launch a new site too? Probably not.

Well, the site is back I guess. I still think it's fake. When you post questions on their forum that seem to hint at the fakeness of the whole thing, they delete the questions. Now the forum itself is missing. Maybe it'll come back too. *shrug*

That's my shirt, silly... I was surprised Phil looked so handsome in a human shirt. He's pretty small.

Our first Con?

Darrell and I are thinking of going to this: http://www.valleycon.com/. We have never been to such an event before, and it is kind of expensive, but: A. Londo is one of our favorite TV characters ever B. Go »

Found things, jerkishness, fuzziness

This morning I found my black pants that have been gone for nigh on a year. They weren't even anywhere weird. They were just on the floor in the closet. Go »

It's been a while...

So, it is supposed to snow 9 inches today, and I didn't want to drive in that, so I did my grocery shopping yesterday. Then today (a Saturday) I decided to walk in to work with my cell phone to do some computer setup with 2-factor authentication that I wasn't able to do earlier because I never take my cell phone to work. See, I am this weird relic of the past who still wonders why people would have to get in touch with me at all hours, so I mainly treat my cell phone like it was a home phone. Go »

Bablyon 5 vs. Little House on the Prairie

Darrell is checking out a lot of Babylon 5 DVDs from the library lately. I watch it too when I get a chance. Anyway, perhaps it's because we're nuts, but we think that show has a bizarre number of parallels with Little House on the Prairie. Go »

The Political Thing

The political thing I hinted at in my first blog entry is over for now. The signatures have been safely delivered to Bismarck. Anyway, here it is, the North Dakota Shared Parenting Initiative, at http://ndspi.org. Go »

I wish I wasn't such a freakin idiot about cars

Seems like every time I need an oil change they want to do $600 of service on my car even though it's running fine. It's getting so I absolutely dread oil changes because I feel like such an idiot not knowing what I really need done to the stupid car and I feel like an asshole if I say anything about it. I hate my stupid car. Go »
