Micorosoft Search Perks for Live Search

Microsoft is so desperate for people to use their Live Search search engine that they started offering reward points for using it I thought, okay I will give it a try just to see. I mean you get free books, magazines, music, etc.

Then when I got there to sign up I was stopped with this.

Well, fuck you micorosft, I won't use it afterall. Who tries to beg people to use their stuff and then makes it at all restricted or difficult. They really need to learn this lesson. If you want your search engine reward points to draw the most people, make it work from any browser.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Adventure

I really enjoyed this movie. For a brief moment it made me feel like I had friends and some spontaneous adventure going on.

It was also one of the first movies I saw that had gay characters I could identify with.

They did such a good job capturing the first night of meeting someone too.

The Cornish Game Hens Before

I patched some more wall spots today. I am getting really good at here. Before the latest patch I dissected some more layers of wallpaper and found the original. I thought the one in (e:paul,45920) was the original. I was wrong. It is so damn ugly.

image

The best solution would be to tear out the wall paper and re-plaster or dry wall, but that is not happening anytime soon. You can't just take the wall paper off like you can with drywall, because the wall paper is holding the plaster, horder hair and lathe all together in some parts. Anyone who has seen the ~30 foot stair well knows that would be a job for professionals. So until that day happens I patch and paint which looks fine.

After the wall patching I decided that I wanted to make some cornish game hens. I got these anti-biotic, hormone, steroid-free ones at wegmans - two for $8. As part of my trying to save for the new era of disparity I have decided to return to eating the organ meets, accept for the liver. As (e:matthew) put it - I cannot eat what I feel is the equivalent of eating the brita filter after it is done filtering.

I used some Roswemary from the garden, some garlic and paprika. Then i wasn't sure what to stuff in them because (e:matthew) cannot eating any sort of gluten based stuffing. So I looked aorund the yard, and saw I still have a lot of pears. In went the pears.

image

I am so excited to eat the neck. I know its weird but serioulsy they taste so good. I am obessed with turkey necks too.

Here are the hens done.
image

(e:Terry) is so picky that he refused to eat the pear because they had been "in the chicken" while baking. When I met him he wouldn't even eat anything with bones.

I am watching a cooking show now with a norwegian carror farmer/chef who is obsessed with his carrots. he said if you cut them tenderly they will be juicy like the lips of a juicy woman. I wonder what that sounded like before he translated it in his head, lol.

Happy anniversary


I got this letter today and I thought who is close enough to know that
our annivesary is in October but thoughtless or mean enough to leave
(e:matthew) out?

Turned out to be the mortgage broker sending us a house closing
anniversary, haha! It's so stars and sparkles of him.

Main street remodel

It's starting to look a lot better now between North and Allen. They
just need some businesses to move in. Did Kaleida buy it? The
building that got knocked down was so freakin' ugly. Its sad when the
no building, knocked down, rubble pile look is better looking than the
building that was there. I wonder if they will get rid of the short
one in middle too?

Duck and cover?

Nope, it's not a nuclear attack duck and cover. It's a study that
needs a presentation and an overly dedicated (e:imk2). I left my
headphones in her car the other day, when I stopped by she demoed her
office camping gear for me. She tried to convince me it is cozy under
there. It looks way cosier than my nasty cube. Her work space is
like 1000x better than mine. Someday, I hope I can have an office,
let alone a window.

Terminals

I know that terminals have tabs now in leopard but most of the time I am watching log files as they fill up and need to compare so I just keep making separate windows. Plus with tabs you have to keep flipping through em. Its like looking at 15 different papers on you desk and putting 14 of them back in a manilla folder everytime you switch papers.

Mac OS makes this so easy to switch between open windows/application using expose. With a key press it or mouse gesture it basically takes all the windows you have stacked up everywhere and makes them tiny so you an select the one you want to focus on. I like this better than any ther solution.

Anyways, this morning I so many terminal windows open it was crazy.
