We’ll make our home water-tight

Ahh, Sleater-Kinney lyrics. My luck is getting better. Maybe I have horseshoes up my butt or something. I got a new job, I start on Monday. Yes! Damn that makes me happy. Now I can go out and say that my old job was such a farce, yes it was. Maybe sometime I’ll tell the […]

finally purrin’ like a kitten

My computer is finally almost where I want it to be: got my TV card running, it gets along with my ATI Rage 128 Pro w/Rage Theatre (I can capture video using either as a source, and the Rage Theatre has TV Out as well). Now all I need is to dump this PC100 RAM […]

movies and movies and movies, oh my!

Seen quite a few movies in the past week: The Ring and 8 Mile in theatres, and Mulholland Drive on DVD. The Ring was scary as all hell, and I spent most of it with my head buried in Sandy’s shoulder: she likes scary movies, I don’t. The plot was very very good though. I […]
