I'm not sure but I think i'm adding ads to my page.  Right now being live n the web, I'm not seeing anything but a large blank white spot I can't type in.  This is kinda cool because you can pick and choose which sponsors and products are being featured for sale in the ads that your blog spot.

Fish McBites on the SUN

OMG, I think I see what used to be called,  "The Sun"  this is big news.  I may need to find my sun glasses.  From what I can remember, they were once used to keep the sunlight out of people's eyes during the day time.

I have just renamed my dog baby..."Shultz McDonald"  The  Lassa Poo  German hamburger lover.  A total winner for an Indie  Film Award, for sure.

It's amazing to me that a dog that acts so much like a cat most of time, can turn into such a begging dog when Micky D's is brought home.  What is it that they are spraying on our food that makes these animals go so nuts for fast food?  They don't act like that for anything else, except real pizza.  I think the only reason for that is the box.  Tor knows the box by site.  I just a had a taste memory.  the smell and taste of a NY//NJ style pizza, there is this smell the fresh pizza makes inside the box.  You just can not get that anywhere else.  SOme places come very close, but never get that smell of the box.

It's for sure,  McDonald's take on the fish stick, the new "Fish McBites"  do indeed taste like cheap ass fish sticks at a fishy McPrice.  

Alrighty I just got word that I'm not getting that graphics gig :(     ....bummer.  Seemed like a perfect interview, one and a half hours, brought home all the stuff, and the papers......
I guess I didn't really understand how hard this was going to be.  I've interviewed hundreds, and been in many interviews.  I'm telling ya, I'm floored that this was a bust.  wow.

The Word Girl and Captain Huggy show

This should be a good episode.... oh my. I'm not sure how this can be on the DVR, but it is.  that was a clear sign that I do not understand the new Comcast dvr thing with the new boxes.  Not much of a blog entry  never the less.  There it is.
It's a rainy cold day in the north east.  Not enough cold for snow, but just enough for frozen ice pellets.  I do hate the cold.....man I really do.
I've re-visited typo3 from the German point of view.  Still not working.  I mean, it is for what the code says it's should be, but that is light years from where I need to be.  To parse a css attached sheet  along with an html template.  A very tall order it would seem.  still in the works however.
Time to print some flyers and get them to the paper before friday....:)

Can an interview go too well?

I would have said no to the question " can an interview go too well?" About a week ago. But now I'm not so sure. I applied to a good modest part time graphic position, they liked the portfolio and the interview lasted over 1 1/2 hours, I left feeling that it was a no brainer perfect match for them and me. Yet still not even a word. The only thing I can figure is that it went too well somehow, and that scared them off. I don't really understand it. The only possible other thing is that the temp agency is the problem. I feel like I should make a gesture towards them independently. Seriously that is how well the interview went.

February deep freeze

I'm not sure where the days hours go by. This will be the week of lost hours and time.
I've written the Germans about their horrible instructions. I doubt it will help me too much but I'm at the point that any last hope is rapidly diminishing in understanding the coding minds of the typo3 team.
I am without question mentally
tired.

Freezing rainy Monday

Today is the first Monday back to work for me in a long time. I think I beat this cold running around the house and area. I thought I was sure to get it on Friday but it never took hold. It's 7 am and time to get on outta here, as soon as the 7am furnace blast warms my jeans resting on the radiator. I love toasted clothing.
On tap today, supervision of a carpet being installed and the trimming out of two doors to match the flooring size. I'd have done the doors outside, except for the freezing rain.....dam, I'd better go load up a vacuum too.
it does however look like a great day to head to a topical island " Don, looking directly at you...lol"

Sick of winter "side comments on twilight"

This time of year can make a person go stir crazy.  I'm not one for the cold, so the thought of being outside for no good reason doesn't enter my head very much.  I'm sure I'm driving everyone in this house nuts just sitting around.  None of my projects besides the computer related ones, can be done in the cold.  It's not like I don't have things to do.  I've got to give my eyes a rest for the computer code reading thing.  They are just plane and simple tired.  Ive been falling asleep at night by just listening to a show on TV with my eyes shut, thus making me fall asleep early.
Right now as I look outside, Im noticing that a tree branch has crashed into the hut roof in the back yard.  I'll have to get up there and check on it when it gets warmer.  It's going to get warm tomorrow, but also all rainy and not a good day for roof climbing.
On another note, I'm trying to watch one of these twilighty movie thingys, which one I know not.  but i tihnk the girl just found out she is preggers with a vampire baby?  Is that right?  is that what Mtv is dishing out for movies these days?.....oooop, and its' a fast growing one.
Here are some info factoids

• Twilight the movies, "suck"
• I can remember my first sip of beer, but I can not remember my last one at all.
• summer is too short int he north east. "hint hint, Ground Hog, better be right
• Like I said last year, Joe Paterno didn't write those emails, and the NCAA is in trouble
• Mama Celeste pizzas are not as good as they once were.
• I don't understand how these dogs in this movie are talking without moving their mouths.
• Portlandia is the best show on TV, and I missed it on Friday :(
• that wolf boy somehow got his clothes back, as he walks out of the woods....stupid
• I have to work in the rain tomorrow morning....yuk

I wonder what it's like in say, South Carolina?  I'm sure they get some cold weather, but how cold does it get?  I would want a little bit of season change, but not cold for more than a month, and nothing colder than 30.  That brings me to wondering what it's like for people who live in warm states, what Christmas is like for them.  Does it feel like Christmas in Arizona?  I don't' think that it would. Maybe it still does...meh.  Christmas sucks when it's cold out up here anyway, so that topic is a rather mute point.
Why are little white dogs always the barking kind?  gawd..... it's as if  he almost knows just the correct pitch that cuts into my head.  "Dam you Cujo!"...don't make me go down there.

politically correct gay

prenote: I find this new "don't say the word gay" TV ad campaign hilarious because the way the a phrase is used these days the most often is more closely related to the actual original definition of the word gay.

GAY: - merry - cheerful - jolly - joyful - blithe - mirthful

Hell if somebody like's fruit loops, who cares.....  Lets not climb all over another word and the politically correct use of it. 

I attempted to learn all my instructional today.  That didn't happen the way I planned.  Getting the chance to do the task was the first problem.  The day became more filled with to do's than I had planned.  Once I did sit down to them, I was confronted with another issue.  They were not what I needed.  It basically covered everything I figured out on my own, and completely avoided the things I had questions about.  I am amazed sometimes at the vast oceans between coders and designers thought processes.
