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.

Narcissist

Oh lord, new worry, what if I'm a narcissist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_Personality_Disorder "NPD is considered to result from a person’s belief that he or she is flawed in a way that makes the person fundamentally unacceptable to others [8]. Go »

I love waking up early

I got up before 5, took a shower, did a bunch of my fun and addictive getting-free-stuff-on-the-internet activities, had breakfast, and went and found some treasures in Kameo, all before heading out to work at 7:50. That was awesome. We always go to bed before 10 anyway so what's the point hanging around in bed in the morning when I'm not tired. Go »

Weather - the most boring conversational topic?!?

Well, perhaps not if you live in ND, I dunno. There's snow on the ground *and* dandelions in the lawn right now. That's a first, at least in my memory. Go »

The Plight of Live Music in Fargo

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 »

I didn't like Brokeback Mountain

I know I'm a number of years too late to be talking about this, but I finally happened to see Brokeback Mountain and I have to say I didn't like it terribly much. Yes, I realize this is an extremely unpopular opinion to the point of being just plain wrong as an objective fact. Note, I do not have a problem with gay people or gay behavior. Go »
