This has been a great, relaxing weekend. We accomplished sooooo much this weekend! – Laundry. Most of it is even put away. – Watched Episode I – Watched Episode II – Watched a metric buttload of second season Babylon 5. Can someone please explain to me why I never watched this incredibly awesome series? – played a bunch of .hack infection and Zelda, Minish Cap – I played a bunch of Animal Crossing and played around with my computer. – We both read a bunch of Pratchett. – Tried to explain to the dog that thunderstorms won't hurt him. –…

LJ Anniversary
I've been posting in this online journal/blog for four years now – sometimes frequently, sometimes sporadically. It's been a lot of fun. I'm grateful for the friends I've made, and for the brief glimpses you've given me into your lives. I'm not going anywhere. :) Date created: 2001-05-30 21:45:04 Date updated: 2005-05-30 17:24:53, 6 seconds ago Journal entries: 794 Comments: Posted: 1,972 – Received: 1,071

Scanner Tag!
Tagged by I'm told that you must write something — anything — and send to five people or you will die of boredom. Well, this was an.. interesting meme. First time I've tried to hook up the scanner on my PowerBook, and apparently the first time I've tried to edit a picture! Neither one of which worked properly. Bah. Gaz detected the scanner fine; at least, it showed up properly in system profiler. However, it no worky at all. The scanner never even tried to light up, even when I pushed the “scan” button on the scanner itself. As for…

Food for thought
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. – H. L. Mencken

Books are cool.
1) Total number of books owned? At an extremely rough guesstimate, it's probably over 1500. One of these days, they will get cataloged, and some maybe even appraised. I love books, could you tell? 2) The last book I bought? OK, so this past weekend we made a trip to the Evil Store™ – a 75% off book store where, in fact, no book is over $5.00. This is a very Bad Place if your bookshelves are already overflowing. Two of the books I bought are: The Myth of Homeland Security by Marcus J. Ranum and Pain Management by Andrew…

Nice kitty…
Mouse is fixed, and I think even my palm is fixed. And oooooh the dashboard is nifty. I'm using the LJ widget now! I think has beaten Samba into submission, but I'm not sure.

Tyger, Tyger, burning bright…
Hrmph. It's pretty, and perhaps peppier (dunno as I've been using it for about 7 and a half minutes now) but it broke my mouse. And my palm. The jury's still out about Mail, also. Judging from the swearing going on across the room, the Samba share is not cooperating, either. NetNewsWire, Firefox, Xjournal, Adium all seem fine. Widgets are nifty. I dunno, I think I'll go watch more Babylon 5 and play with this later.
