That the dad (David Morse) of the Ricci guy they are investigating in the missing Elizabeth SMart girl sounds just like the guy from Slingbade? He was even talking about a machete they took from his property, I expected him to started talking next about french fried taters.

D Miss Zelda,
I have a friend in desperate need of your advice.

What should we do? Yours Flagellatiously,
Nicklelodeon Thingamagig

D Nicky-
Ahh! ….. Love is a strange beast, one minute your picking daisies humming sappy love-songs, the next you are standing out in the rain in front of his house cocking a shotgun singing “Great Balls Of Fire” like Ethel Merman.

“Roberto” should immmediatly get himself to a Gyspy ™ certified spellcaster to have a “double-dip ultra-reverse undo” spell done on him to counteract the #201139-a, it may take a few weeks but I think he will see noticeable results in a few days (ie..wallet reapps, dog comes back to life, hair grows back in those unmentionable places….
Zelda

I used to have this alter ego named Miss Zelda, who was a medieval advice columnist. And that link is one of the VERY FIRST sites I ever made, back in ohhh 1995 or so. I hand coded it even. I pulled it up today becasue the people who are hosting it ore going off line, I pulled all the pages into IE’s scrapbook for safekeeping I’ll put them into Word them eventually.

But being I don’t have much to write about and haven’t had anentry of susbstance in a few days, there you go. Go read my illicit secret past. Some of them crack me up still. it was purely a comedy work, jsut to see how wild and weird I could take it. I had a few hundred folks on the mailing list even.

It was actually published in quite a few newsletters in the medieval reneactment group I am in, and the site even got featured in a history magazine of all things. I kinda got off the kick in 1997 as I got real web design work and my interest in it waned, as you can tell inthe columns area. But it was fun while it lasted. (and no, I didn’t write the all letters to Zelda, I actually got sent them)

Jen Fact: this is why my one cat is named Zelda.

I have individual posting link problems, my achives are all messed up (BIG FONTS) I have little goofs all over, I need professional help, I’m going nutso over this… someone please jsut kill me.

And here I thought blogger was a pain in the butt.
MT HARD! MAKE JENNY BRAIN HURT!

Today, I released some new stuff over at PixelDecor (my other site), As well as a new pattern, and a very patriotic desktop picture, I released a new calendar.

1: MacReporter is a little app that sits and watches. You tell it what to watch for when something happens, it tell syou. Great for watching blogs too I imagine.

2: DesktopControl Finder based desktop Picture switcher.

3: ChangeDesktop does this randomly from a folder of your choice.

4: CalinDock is a Mac OS X dockling that displays a monthly or daily calendar in the Dock. Really spiff.

5: “DockDisks is a hack that causes disks to auto-mount in the Dock. This can be handy if you want to put your dock on the right side of the screen but want to avoid the conflict for space with the disk icons on the desktop. It can also help avoid the problem of desktop icons becoming covered up by open windows.”

A message for girls everywhere…
Chapter Eight: Daddy loves you, almost as much as he loves your brother.

Actual Chorus:
“I know I’m Daddy’s Number One, for he loves me like I was his son…”

Folks, I can’t make this crap up.

Microsoft snuck out Internet Explorer 5.2 when I wasn’t looking, not sure whats new yet other than ALL window/page text is anti-alised in Mac OSX. Sweet. Everything looks smooth, even my entry text here looks like print almost.

[mac maniac] OSX so freaking rocks. Wallow in inferior operating system shame, you Wintel-ites and Linuxers. [/mac maniac]

Ali

Saw Ali Tonight, Will Smith is a really good actor, captured the Ali I kinda remember growing up. The story was slow in parts but worth seeing, but it shows his little circle of the world with all the civil rights madness going on at the time. The deaths of his freind Malcom X, and Marting Luther King, the self-granidising of a younger Don King, Ali’s neat relationship with Howard Cosell, and The general creepy golddigging and self-serving of the Nation of Islam.

After seeing so many around Ali cut down by bullets, I began hoping the “Ali curse” (as we began to call it here watching it) would somehow find it’s way to Don King. That man annoys me to no end. No such luck. Not yet anyway.

I’m waiting for my Dad to come over with my Uncle’s “critter catcher supplies” to catch an injured (by the nieghbors dog) racoon that got in their yard, in a tussle with Maggie’s Mom and lost, got chased up a tree, and is now stranded on their pool injured.

This is day three. No county or city service will come get it despite it’s injured and *really* pissed off. The nieghbor doesn’t have the money to pay for utilities let alone for a “critter catcher”.

So this thing is stuck, injured in thier back yard, driving my dogs crazy, and could just as easily be in MY back yard attacking my dogs, so Dad knows how to use this stuff and is coming over. He’s had to catch 6 from his back yard (with the *large* open field behind the house) this year alone so far.

So, I was sitting here watching TV and saw that Garth Brooks Dr Pepper commerical and began wondering “What ever happend to Garth Brooks with that “Chris Gaines” thing? Wasn’t it supposed to be a soundtrack for a movie or something? The album kinda flopped, and wierded out folks and critics, despite being hailed as a good endeavor on Garth’s part.

This page says:
“If you would like to link to NPR from your Web site, please fill out the permission request form.“

Hey look, this is Jen NOT asking to link NPR TWICE. What they gonna do - not let me listen to the crap I hate? Or make me sit through fourty hours of “This American Life?” Only if they can keep me awake or from slashing my wrists.

It’s this kind of elietist attitude that bugs the hell out of me about all public broadcasting. And I GREW UP in a NPR station, I worked marathons from the tiem I could answer a phone.

Cab Calloway is one of my favorites, most of his stuff is forgetten now, but his work I think is a work of pure brillance and you can hear a bit of old Cab on alot of R&B and rock and roll. The next few weeks I’m going to play some more Cab and give him the glory he’s due.

Don Ameche was a hottie when he was young. He was a good looking old man too, but he was a real looker in his prime.

Yum.

The comments DO WORK (I removed all the test ones me and dave put up) but you get an error after you post it - ignore it, it will post. So until I figure that out don’t let it stop you from speaking back, just back button a couple times after you are done to get back here. I’ll get it all silky smooth here soon, promise, this kind of code is new to me and I have a LOW code lning curve. Trial by fire is more like it. If someone would like to offer some asstance to figure it out, let me know.

Older posts will have two headlines a while I’m going through them one by one to fix that, we’re 90% there.

On the other end, Dave is running on MT now too, actually less problematic now than me but he’s using the default template… I have to fidget with everything. He decided to start from scratch, so it’s a whole new world over at Dave’s.

Overall, I LOVE MoveableType so far, just have to get my brain trained for it. I wanna add a archive calendar to the left side bar so I’m trying to figure that out/

NOTE: I got Comments working right, thanks again to RenGirl

RenGirl is a patient woman. She has been holding my hand this entire time and I have to say, she’s a true goddess. I mean a kick ass and take names godess like Athena or Hera. Yeah thats RenGirl.

MTV UK has whipped up a Flash doohickie of a Sims-likeThe Osbournes. Very funny, and very fun.

Finished some beading projects, added a few new sites profiles to the “sites” are of this site and other domain maintenance.

Last week, Iconfactory linked my PixelDecor site and gave me over 1,100 hits in a few days, which sent quite a few over here. I do so love my stats addiction.

Even without those carry over hits this blog is growing in readership, which amuses me. I don’t blog like most folks do. I don’t do a tech links galore page, or a journal page. I don’t open up veins, share too much about myself, or bemoan a relationship, or even a lack of one - why do you folks still come here? I’m boring as hell. Only thing I can figure out is your here for the occasional music postings.

Kira Greene is one hell of a painter I found online. She specializes in water paintings, pictures of water, people in water… stunning stuff. Anyone here got a gallery who could give this girl a call?

No family reunion is complete without a regular mac bashing session from my Dad, sometimes assisted by my brother (usually in jest).

My dad was pulling out all the stops today, “At least I can buy software at walmart for my machine!”, “You know what Apple’s problems is…”, “More people would use Apple if they would let go of the operating system and let other people make them” and then even too many to remember during the new Apple commercials. I usually can battle back but today I just wasn’t up to it and only lashed back a few times.

Every time we get together it’s a OS battle. I’m getting really sick of it. But I’m too proud to not defend it, I should just smile and nod and change the subject.

That right! It’s Tech support with Ozzy Osbourne! - Watch him curse and mac-bash! Really funny though.

I got an email today I got asked: … “Followed the link from iconfactory, and just wanted to add to the general adulation regarding your various sites. Excellent work. Do you get out much?”

I replied: HAHHAHA! The light! It burns! It burns! I get out about once a week anymore to buy groceries, duct tape and shotgun shells.

Sad thing is it’s not too far off from the truth, I do only leave the house about once a week. I’m thinking of getting a real job again so I don’t start recoiling at crucifixes (more than usual, anyway) and viewing the passing school children as a between meal snack. I’m having way too many serious conversations with the dogs.
