That is all.

Because I wanted to fangirl - so there!
First week is almost done. Already? Fourteen games down, two to go. Will miss much of tomorrow morning though - going to go see ‘District 9′. Besides, it’s Brady and the Patriots. However, there’s also Philip Rivers and the Chargers!
Titans 10 @ Steelers 13: Really? I mean, REALLY?! Anyway, Steelers win in OT. And it was so long ago now, that I can barely remember the game. Polamalu one-hand interception FTW! Polamalu out for 3-6 weeks definitely NOT FTW!
Jags 12 @ Colts 14: Peyton Manning is my man. LOVE him.
Cowboys 34 @ Bucs 21: Tony Romo for 353 yards, three TDs, and zero interceptions? Oh yeah! Now, he just needs to keep it up for another fifteen games. Especially for the next two (ESPN televised) games. Also, Witten - 5 receptions for 71 yards.
49ers 20 @ Cardinals 16: Ew. I really wasn’t looking for a defensive battle, but it was what I was stuck with. All I could think of during the game was, “Hmm. Warner is kinda-sorta-a little bit of a silver fox.” 49ers OL still suck. Shaun Hill is still all sorts of meh. Virtually non-existent running game. And seriously? SERIOUSLY? Three consecutive running plays just two yards from your own goal line? SERIOUSLY?! However, 49ers defense was pretty damn good. And how many penalties did the Cardinals eventually rack up? Damn! And was that ref high on something the whole game…?
Bears 15 @ Packers 21: Woo! Rodgers! Ew…another defensive battle? *sigh* I was totally set/ready for TDs galore and high-scoring offense. Yeah. No. Didn’t happen. Where was pre-season Rodgers? Well, he showed up in the last two minutes of the game. Got the W - all that mattered. Poor Cutler (though am still amused by your 4 INTs!)…or maybe not really.
In another news of interest (to me): Mark Sanchez wins on his first regular season start with the Jets - YAY! And the Vikings are ADRIAN PETERSON’S team, NOT Favre’s. Drew Brees with 6 TDs = awesome. And Drew Brees pregame warm up is still BEST EVER. Ever.

Always an interesting word to bring up in conversation - no pun intended! Good one, Pete!

Oh, so very true. I remember when I used to be able to code a page without looking at references. Now? I have to start from the very first page of “HTML For Dummies” to get started! And I don’t even know if those are the correct terms these days. I do miss it. Some days, quite a lot.
Back then, it was all just simple HTML (and .htm if you were trying to be “cool” and “smart” and “extra nerdy”) - these days, it’s all PHP and CSS (which I LOVE, by the way, although now it’s like, CSS3 or something like that?) and XML and XUL (?!) and whatever else. And then there are, like, widgets, and AJAXs, and SSIs, plugins, and RSSs, and they’re all probably the same, or maybe not and I just have absolutely no clue what I’m talking about now.
So it’s probably time to upgrade this thing again. Before I get hacked by some freak who pays attention to almost non-existent blogs like this one. Asspipes. (Now that’s a word I haven’t used in a while - thank you, Jamie.)
The world is a-changin’, is all it is. I would totally LOVE a tag cloud though. Only cos it just looks cool. Ish.
Also, I miss LiveJournal. I miss random Inmates insanity and frivolity. I miss Merc’s board, where everyone came together at different times, and messenger chats where everyone TRIED to come together at the same time. I miss fangirling. I miss using fics as bargaining chips. I miss writing fics.
I miss Smoochy Dreams. I miss *shrieking* and *squealing* about Chris/Steph moments, real and/or imagined. I miss proposing out-there ideas and possibilities for said moments. I miss meeting/getting to know Dreamers. I miss gaining new Dreamers. I miss the not-quite-modest feeling that comes from comments, for both fics and for starting Smoochy Dreams.
I love how anything Chris/Steph related, even to this day, is still referred to as “Smoochy”. I love how fans still consider themselves “Smoochy Dreamers”.
Damn you CloHelen for making me all reminisce-cy! Let’s meet again, kay?
I have decided that I am going to go and see Les Misérables when I get to London in October. Also, am going to go on this. Wish I had a few extra dosh AND days to go here, too. But much as I’d love to, just can’t go see and do everything.
Speaking of dosh - am still waiting for my cheque from the government…
I am currently rediscovering my love for old comics - Tintin and Asterix. $500 for the Asterix collection seems reasonable, yet… *sigh* Why was I not born an heiress?
Have started studying for this Critical Care Course thing. It starts this Wednesday, and I’m still a little ambivalent about it. Mostly the “formal studying” part. And the big walk up the hill to the hospital thing, too. Mustn’t forget that. It IS a good opportunity for me to increase nursing skills and knowledge, so I’ll just keep thinking positive.
Unfortunately, I’m also “bonded” to my current workplace for the next two years (else I have to pay them back the cost of the course). Originally, I hadn’t been quite so…enthusiastic about that part of the deal. Still, after several sad stories, one way to look at it now is: “Hey, at least I have a job for the next two years, right?” While still not exactly “enthusiastic” about the thought of two more years in mini-hell, I’m grateful for the the full-time work. Am a little wary about how they will initiate me into working in CCU.
Finally - meeting Inmates is THE best!! I’m still waiting for the full get together. It shall happen! One day. Some day…
Am I just being a sheep following all these trends? Joining social networks? And sharing networks? And such.
To answer original question - yeah, probably. Still, it’s kinda fun. Lots of interesting things out there. Not too many RL people to “connect” to. Haven’t quite decided yet whether that’s a good or bad thing.
I think I need a page to keep track of what sites/networks I’ve actually joined. *ponders*
Which reminds me - really need to update vanity site as well. It’s been too long. Damn you automatic payments and such!
Hard to try and keep track of what I’m doing, what I’m wanting. I wish I was more organised. I wish my brain would start thinking a little bit more linear-ly.
I like tag clouds.
I should really upgrade this. And link it with Twitter. And link Twitter to Facebook.
I feel as if I spend much too much time online…yet never seem to really get anywhere. Or do much of anything. Except join things. And such.
Which is fun. Most of the time.
Wish I could make money spending lots of time online. Seems like a lot of people do. Wonder how they do it.

‘Jon & Kate Plus 8′ finale doesn’t address divorce rumors - It Happened Last Night - Zap2it
Oh, how sad. I quite like this show. I do think that Kate is a bit of a controlling freak who treats Jon a little too harshly. Quite a lot of times.
