First off, think I'll do the Friday Five this week. :) You have just won one million dollars: 1. Who do you call first? if he's not with me at the time. Other than that, nobody. 2. What is the first thing you buy for yourself? For myself? OK, I'm going to assume this doesn't mean the obligatory “pay off the bills and mortgage”. I won't count anything we'd buy for the house, such as more bookshelves, and a 100 disk DVD changer, etc., etc. So for me, the first thing I'd buy just for me would be a Chrysler…

gave me my birthday presents early today because he's not feeling well at all. Seeing as how he's running a fever of 101, I'm not surprised. :( I scored: Jennifer Government by Max Barry – The backcover blurb says it's “a wickedly satirical and outrageous thriller about globalization and marketing hype” – sounds like a good dystopia to feed my paranoid conspiracy tendancies. Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood – Author of “The Handmaid's Tale”, this is another dystopia; from the blurb: “[A]…world in which science-based corporations have recently taken mankind on an uncontrolled genetic-engineering ride..” New Spring by Robert…

OK, I took this silly test fully intending not to post the results… until I saw them. Of course, I had to post it then. :) Of course, Viggo’s into the whole “kid” thing, so that’s a deal breaker right there. <snicker> You are going to marry viggo mortensen.He is veryfriendly and funny and has a lot of respect foryou and your friends. He is also very good withkids and would be an ideal father. Congrats!! Which male celebrity are you going to marry? (now 12 (i just added more, and still more to come!)results that have pics!) brought to…

Urp. Brief update, then I&apos;m hitting the sack, I&apos;m beat. Dinner at Benihana&apos;s: shrimp, scallops, calimari. Yum. Dessert at Cheesecake factory: dulche de leche caramel cheesecake. ohmygodtodiefor I&apos;m not even going to THINK about how many points it was. I&apos;ll figure it out tomorrow, while I&apos;m eating carrot sticks. LOL In other news, I bought a little remote control car – it&apos;s so cute! Only 3 inches long and Max is really puzzled by it. Heeee!

Testing new client… If this works, I have switched to LogJam…. KLuJe, while it has a kickass name, doesn&apos;t detect music from XMMS. BTW – I HAVE MUSIC AGAIN!!! Damn, it&apos;s been forever. Winamp royally trashed my pc every time I tried to play it. My husband is the BEST!!!

Starting weight: 291.8 lbs Last week: 262.8 lbs This week: 258.8 lbs Loss this week: 4.0 lbs Total loss: 33.0 lbs Loss rate: 1.36 lbs/week Flex points left: 9 Yay! Gain last week gone and then some. I need to eat all the points I&apos;m supposed to, and a good chunk of the flex points as well. You&apos;d think that would be easy – LOL. Water. Water. Water. (…everywhere, and all the boards did shrink…) Exercise. By the way – I&apos;m going out to eat tomorrow for my birthday dinner and I&apos;m not going to count points. That is, I…

http://wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,62052,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_2 Y-12 is America&apos;s main facility for processing enriched uranium. It stores nearly all of the country&apos;s reserve of about 5,000 “secondaries,” the thermonuclear hearts of hydrogen bombs. When a team of Y-12 rent-a-cops racked up a perfect score during an antiterror drill June 26, officials there were shocked. How could the guards have performed so well, they wondered, when a computer model had predicted that the defenders would lose at least half of their confrontations? The answer was simple: The guards cheated. They had seen the computer models of the strikes the day before they were launched, rendering the…

OK. Mozilla – web browser. No change, been using that for a while now. KLuJe – livejournal client. So far, so good. Although it makes me do links and stuff by myself waaaaah! Hope it will pick up music from whatever I&apos;m supposed to use. Kmail – email. Um. I actually think I like it. Dammit, and I just bought Agent. Pan – usenet. Um. I might like it. Dammit, and I just bought Agent. However, Agent&apos;s filtering leaves a lot to be desired without NewsProxy, which is why I&apos;m giving Pan a try. Oh, btw – Agent was running…
