Had to go looking to find this: MINNEAPOLIS, MN: In a turn of events the 30-year-old characterized as “horrifying,” Kevin Widmar announced Tuesday that his mother Lillian has discovered his weblog. “Apparently, Mom typed [Widmar’s employer] Dean Healthcare into Google along with my name and, lo and behold, PlanetKevin popped up,” Widmar said. “I’m so fucked.” In an e-mail sent to Widmar Monday, Lillian reported in large purple letters that she was “VERY EXCITED :)!!!” to find his “computer diary,” but was perplexed that he hadn’t mentioned it to her. Upon receipt of the e-mail, Widmar mentally raced through the…

The Ineffable Bass asks: Hopefully you haven’t ruined your mind yet with that Harry Potter stuff, ’cause I have a question: What time is the choir assembling on Thursday night? And the service is at 8 pm, right? We’re getting there at about 730pm, the Maundy Thursday service is at 8pm. The vigil lasts until midnight, but the formal service (that we sing at) isn’t longer than a normal service, IIRC. Which reminds me that I really need to update the church website. Eeesh, Front Page. Eeesh.

I’m home sick today – Chicago’s spring allergy season is in full swing, and the coughing fits (asthma, yadda yadda) had me up all night. I felt like I couldn’t take a deep breath at work without coughing yesterday. Bleh. Lousy air quality in that building, always has been. So I’m fooling around with blockquotes today. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean sodales, est a dictum ultrices, tellus metus venenatis ipsum, eu tristique risus urna id elit. Pellentesque lacus est, congue non, consequat a, viverra in, nunc. Curabitur libero erat, ornare eu, congue quis, cursus quis, lorem.…

Okay, The Official Harry Potter Website is seriously addictive. Not only is there a new trailer, there are games all over the Marauder’s Map. I think I’m going to be dreaming hippogriffs tonight. And that’s just one of a number of stupid, addictive little games there. I’m going to bed… (yawn)

I read this quite a while back and went looking for it: CSS Drop Shadows: A List Apart Add to this thought in the back of my mind: the CSS trick I learned for wrapping text and left-justifying text from “Learning Moveable Type” Could they be combined? Also, that’s a sweet trick for setting off a quote block… it could be centered rather than left-justified and Bob’s yer uncle. Must play with that later.

Thanks to ***Dave I now know that Farscape is coming back. And that makes me happy happy boingity boingity yippy yippy puff puff cough cough collapse in chair happy. However, it’s apparent that there’s a major spoiler if you click on this link (but nothing David and I didn’t predict). I’m just saying that in all the pink and red and black little bits of matter in the final moments of the final Farscape episode, there was no fleshtoned stuff at all. And that means…nekkidness

It’s been a miserable day today at work – I’ve had some sort of allergy blow-up. The air quality at the office has always been horrible. I went looking for statistics and found Allergy.com – Pollen Graph. I’ll need it – although several of us complained all day about stuffy air, and specifically mentioned that it was hard to breathe, my team leader looked totally blank when I asked if she could check with the building management people and have them check the air circulation. I’ve felt all day as if I had my head in a slightly warm oven,…

Arrrrgh… we didn’t set up TiVo right for this:`Deep Space’ boldly goes to Spike TV… we set it to record the whole marathon, but forgot to set TiVo to keep more than 5 episodes at a time. D’oh. We like DS9 when it was on, but missed a lot because it was shown at a weird time here. Maybe they’ll continue repeating, though, and we’ll catch up eventually, as we did with Stargate-1

Maybe this program might be interesting to suggest for later in the year at Holy Moly, once we get past Easter and Pentecost.
