DVD

Today I worked on a DVD at work, hence the working on a DVD at work. it was huge, it had 68 tracks.. it was a real cluster, I did learn alot about scripting and how to deal with so many tracks. Anyway, not much else to report today, mostly another day like many others.

Music listened to

Not much, just that 21st century techno pop and Die Warzu.

Moral of the day
when making a DVD with 68 tracks it takes a while to QC the disc.

sorry, it is kind of a boring message today.. the next one should be better, we are having a new years get together tomorrow night, also I hope to get more done on my website, it has bean almost a month since I got movable type going and it is about time that I get the rest of the site live too.. but I think it is going to be cool.

christmas part 3

Sorry I havn't written for a few days.. I had christmas part 3 this weekend, I went to Iowa and was with my parents, my grandma came out to join us too, she had a great time, we broke her out of the nursing home, I was thinking of bringing a file with me, but figured she wouldn't get it. anyway. I couldn't beleive how hot it was, it was 53 yesterday, The lake was frozen, but there must have bean 2000 geese on the lake, all huddled together keeping one spot open. There was a bald eagle sitting on the ice scouting out which one of the geese it wanted to eat, I think it had a tough time choosing since there were so many of them. We are having a new Years Party Tuesday night, we didn't get to planning until way too late, but I think it will be nice anyway, just get some people over to hang out.

Music I listened on the trip, Love and Rockets, Duran Duran, Tears for Fears.

In Iowa, more chirstmas music, Celtic christmas.. basically the same as the previous days for chirstmas.

Drive home, Duran Duran, 21st century Techno Pop.

The moral to the weekend...when making fondu in hot oil, make sure you give the vegitables a chance to cool down before putting them in your mouth..or scalding evening you will have.

Merry Christmas

Well, Christmas was a good day, I got some movies and some cloths and a shower radio. I gave Michelle this bean bag thing, I think that I am most excited about that, as is she, its called a lovesac and it is filled with foam, it takes a couple of days for the foam to fully expand, but judging by the size know, I don't know how much more it can expand. Anyway, I am off to bed, I don't want to go to work tomorrow, at least it is thursday and the week is almost over. Hope you all have had a wonderful day..

Music listened to.
Lots of christmas music, Ultimate christmas, celtic christmas vol. 1 and 2, Christmas drums (caribean christmas music). and The Fixx, it was an album I gave Michelle.

Moral to the day (a carry over from yesterday)
make sure you put a new bag in the kitchen garbage when you are putting clues to your wifes scavenger hunt under the kitchen sink, she might stumble upon it before its time. Or When skinny dipping, avoid lakes with leaches.

Ho Ho Ho

Ho Ho Ho
Some bodys bean writing in my blog
and I think I know
They left some foot prints
and to me they did show.

Anyway, it is christmas eve and I am writing in my blog. I should get off to bed..
actually I am hoping to pass some time so my wife can get to bed and I can play Santa. She is doing dishes possibly ruining a christmas game I have stratigically set in play.. figures, there goes the dish washer, well, it should be good for a laugh. I know she won't read this before tomorrow morning, but I set a goose chase around the house and she is now breaking the chain. I might have to try to sneak it in in the morning. oh well, I wish she would get off to bed so I can fill her stocking..

Music listened to today..
Afro Celt Sound System 2 and 3
Excelesious gothic Christmas music
Mobey 18 and the one before that.
Sisters of Mercy Vision Thing
Underworld The new one.. I can't remember its name either
Chemical Brothers Come with us

I did a lot of listening while I was wrapping presents.

Well, hope you all have a very mery christmas.

the moral of the day.. I guess it is occuring right now.

When planning on putting notes in the dishwasher, make sure you arn't going to be running it before the notes are to be read.

Santas Gangsta Rap

My name is santa you see
I live in the big NP
You say you don't believe
well I disagree
cause I'm the baddest Mutha *%@#&!
in the whole country

I come into your house
in the middle of the night
carrying gifts
staying out of sight

so you'd better not scream
and you'd better not shout
or I'll cap your ass
without a doubt.

oopss, got a little too gangsta.

christmas Eve Eve

Well, it is the eve of Christmas eve, a very quiet day today. I think the next couple of days is going to be good for both Michelle and I, I have to fix another basement utility, our gas fireplace has a broken switch, I have to turn it on and off with the pilot light knob, I just have to take the knob apart and take it to a hardware store and figure out another way to make it work.. should be pretty easy.

I am tired of running OS 9, I want to get an new computer so I can run osx and get started making DVD's. I did make good progress today on my site, nothing to post, but I did make progress, hopefully tomorrow morning after I run some errands getting groceries for the next couple of days I can come back and get more posted, I want to get the links to my Movie and audio files running. I also have to go into my blog here and try to figure out a way to make it look different to match the rest of the site. I should also make a banner for my site. Michelle and I went to Yoga yesterday, it was fun, I think I did pretty well, either that or the teacher was being kind to me since I was new and the only guy.. the reason I think I did well is so many of the movements are like exercises we used to do in Gymnastics..there, your macho attitude of me has bean spoiled with thoughts of me running around in tights, but are they that different from a football uniform? and at least I didn't have to shave like the guys on the swim team.. Bikini Wax any one.

Anyway, I should write something so several of you out there have something to comment on.

The fading candle burns blue
while white coals remind us
a fire a whisky, a carton of milk
a wild evening you ask
I can only guess.

There figure that one out.

The moral to the day..

Star Trek

Went and saw Star Trek last night.. it was alright, too bad, the first even numbered Star Trek that wasn't a great movie. You know the odd numbered Treks kind of bite. As Jack put it, I don't know how they can mess up the Star Trek Franchise.. the premise was good, but the movie was bloated, might have made a good 1 hour episode with commercials, two hours was a bit much. Otherwise yesterday was Mall Hell... Nothing like doing all your christmas shopping 4 days before chirstmas. Now I want to get to work on my splash page and get my site a little more complete.

Music listened to today
Me (yes I was induldging in listening to my youthful stylings)
School Girl... something or another, My friend Jeremy brought over the CD.. groovy..basically it is 60's go go funk. There should be more of that out there.
Love and Rockets..(ok, so I have a soft spot for them.)

MOral for the day when you order really hot at a thai restraunt.. don't laugh and send food out your nose.

Michelles Office Party

Today...hmmmm.. Michelle had her office holiday party, it was nice, one of her former co-workers had it in her home on lake Minnetonka. It was nice, kind of reminded me of when my folks would have the Media Loft partys at our house growing up.. smaller, funner, more intimate, although the Media Loft partys got pretty out of control. I didn't get much done on my site today.. basically got home and ran back our the door. I did leave work early today to brave the malls and try to find a gift for Michelle, I was in a pretty pissy mood this afternoon and evening. I hate the shopping malls.. I just am not entheused about christmas this year.

Music I listened to today.. be prepared.. I was in a bad mood, so was Michelle

Beastie Boys, Ministry, Right Said Fred (Michelles Idea), Karl Zero, Ladytron

New Dental Hygenist

Well, first off I must mention that I wen to the dentist yesterday.. no cavities...but I did have a new Hygenist, she has only just began working there 6 months ago..The reason I am writing this is to inform you all.. whomever you all might be is that nothing gives you more confidence then knowing that your Dental Hygenist is a Minnesota Vikings Cheerleader.. really... I'm not lying.. I know you don't believe me.. but it is true. Anyway. The other point is I have something posted on my web site now.. it is still far from finished, I finished the main part of the flash movie, and I still have to do audio work to really finish.. and of course make real links.. I just wanted something to play with from work to make sure I am on an alright path. But the link to my blog is alive and well.

Anyway.. my brother called tonight and it is late and I am off to bed.

Good Night

Music I am listening to

21st Century Techno Pop (compilation) I'm hooked..

I want to start an 80's technopop band.. I used to play in an 80's technopop band..maybe I should play in a technopop band again

Thin ties are cool
who would wear a goofy wide tie
hey keyboard ties are even better
and we can wear those nifty rayban shades
Yeah mirrored
and nothing is sexier then a guy in pink
yeah I look cool in pink.
with my hair permed
and eyeliner
and parachuter pants
and a jacket with the sleeves rolled up.

Back from FLA

Got back late last night, had a good trip. It was a bit chilly and a bit touristy. I visited the house my grandparents sold 25 years ago..looked similar, I have a picture of me in the yard rowing a boat with swim goggles on, I didn't see the lawn where we had the boat.. on the way to the house took a picture of a street sign for a Lovers Lane which also happened to be a dead end.

Had a daydream last night about a dungeon with rock walls, chains held tightly in the damp cold. while stories above kings planned conquests and queens schemed for power.

Listened to while in Florida...Alagator Christmas album, Elvis 1, Beatles Magical Mystry Tour.

LIstened to today
Ladytron, Tuuli, Miss Kitten and the Hacker.

Moral for the trip to Ft. Meyers. You can go back.. it just might not be what you remember.

off to Ft. Meyers

I'm off to Ft. Meyers to see the inlaws,
I'm off to Ft. Meyers for 4 days or so.
I'm Off to Ft. Meyers get to catch an early plane
I'm off to Ft. Meyers how does this song go again.

oh ya..

Anyway, the MOral to today.

eat a good breakfast, bad breakfasts are not a good way to start the day...

I have notieced that many blogs add music listened to

Todays stylings were brought to me by
Love and Rockets
Ladytron

2 Days

Well, I didn't get to write yesterday, but I will jot a quickie tonight, Saturday we go to Ft. Meyers Florida for Christmas with the Inlaws. It should be fun, it is going to be good to get away for a few days, funny thing is being in Europe last month, I shouldn't be thinking how much I need a vacation. Anyway, I know I am probalby making this way more personal then it should be for such a public forum, just trying to get back in form of writing. Pretty soon I am going to have to start working on creative writing, I used to do that if you can beleive it, I even got a degree in creative writing.. now all I have to do is get that part of me back alive.

The moral for the last 2 days since I know you are looking...
Pizza goes down better with out the mustard and relish, but ice cream goes down just fine with Mustard and Relish.

Far From Heaven

It's bean a couple of days since my last entry, but just a quick update, We saw the movie Far From Heaven, I thought Julianne Moore was really good in it, normally I don't like her, but I thought she was really good in this movie, the movie was kind of bleek, but that was the intent. We all enjoyed it. a reccomend on my list. I spent 6 hours yesterday packing up from the party.. too much time. Todays Moral, when putting christmas lights on trees, make sure you keep the cords warm, they tend to get stiff when trying to arrange.

Office Party part 2

Well, the Tiki Party happened, actually it is still happening as I am typing this..I didn't get to enjoy much of it.. I ended up working most of the evening. I am kind of frustrated, as to the comment on yesterdays post.. they had a huge Styrofoam (pardon my spelling) Tiki Statue when you first walked in the door, it was kind of angry looking, they really did go over the top this year, hopefully next year they will come back to earth. Anyway, the mood was a bit somber this year, it has bean a tough year at our office. Todays moral..Too many god ads on the radio makes me nervous.

Office Party

Well, Today I spent the entire work day setting up for our office holiday party, it is going to be crazy tomorrow night, we are having a Tiki Theme, I got a coconut Bra and a grass Skirt, that should raise an eyebrow or two, I am doing that in protest because the party has gotten out of control for the scale of the whole thing.. it used to be I could show up the night of the party set up a small audio system, we would put some music on and have a dance.. now.....10 hours of work today and there is still work to be done by others. Anyway about the coconut bra, don't fear, I am going to wear stuff under it, I don't think any of my co-workers want to see my flabby hairy stomache. Don't get me wrong, I am not fat, just pushing 35. so the moral to the story today is....
When a Party Tiki forever to set up... Party no Party for me.

Sony Projector

Today at work I played with a new sony projector. I was really impressed with the quality of video playback in the projector we were projecting 10.5' by 14' the Image looked great on video, but looked really yellow with Powerpoint, I contacted Sony to find out if there is an engineering setting to change that, I would reccomed against the Sony Projector for that reason, It was really light and quiet which was a plus and 5000 ansi lumens. I know, a boring blog, but hey, I could have written about my day today which consisted of the only evening off I am going to have this week as tomorrow I set up for our office christmas Party.. lucky me, I get to work our party. I am still working on getting my web site set up so I can have a link to this page. Crop Circles are made by students... so Sayeth I..

Water Softner

Well, I would have written a more interesting first entry, well, probably not, but I have to make some excuse, my water softner broke yesterday, I got it fixed and I got to play with a torch, I felt like a real plumber except I dind't show butt crack. the moral to the story....never eat blue M & Ms.. or something like that.

ps, this thing needs spell checking for those of us who are illiterate.
