Another Time... Another Place...

I'm more and more convinced I was born about 50 years later than I was suppose to be. I seem to continuously find things from the 40s and 50s that I love. Old Radio Shows like the Shadow, Sherlock Holmes, Jack Benny... they've all but disappeared from radio today. Thank goodness for the internet. Many of these classic shows are popping up in MP3 format on the net. You just have to know where to look.

It's been 50's week here at MDL. Don't know how that happened... LOL. Right now I'm listening to Etta James belt out "At Last" and I'm loving it. ;)

Celebrate 50th Birthday...Repeat as needed

Well, we all went out to lunch yesterday for Sherry's birthday, but today is the repeat. Not only do we have leftovers from lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, but we've got a huge cake that I brought in yesterday. We figured we would save the cake for today since we were all stuffed from the lunch outting...and a couple of our guys weren't in the office yesterday.

Here's my post just before bed... I've just paid all my bills for this month and find that...as usual...I'm broke. You gotta love working and getting paid only to pay it out to everyone else. And with the way the weather has been, my electric bill is KILLING my bank account slowly. You gotta love a $181.00 bill for a two-bedroom apartment...with the a/c being turned off during the daytime hours (8am-5:30pm).

I really want to get an MP3 player. I've got a Yahoo Music Unlimited account but no MP3 player to utilize it's full features. So I"m stuck listening to music on the computer. The good news is I do have a laptop (obviously since I'm writing this one from bed). I take it to work with me and usually have it up and connected to Yahoo. But in the car I'm at the mercy of local radio (which sucks more than a Hoover) or CDs which I'm getting tired of VERY quickly.

So it's either a trip to Borders for more music... or a trip to Best Buy for an MP3 player.

Preview 704

The chat just showed the preview of episode 704. Three words... OH EM GEE... *runs around giggling like a school girl*

For those that missed it, it will be up on the HF website later this week I'm told.

Chatting You Up

I'm participating in my first HF chat right now. It's pretty cool. About 23 of us in there...just chatting about anything and everything. I haven't really been an active participant in too many chat rooms until this one. The topics are flying...so far we've hit on ancient computers, drinks we prefer, who's gay and who's straight, and a multitude of other stuff.

The preview of 704 is what attracted me but I'm staying for the fun of the chat ;)

To Tears...

You gotta love it when someone says...

"F**k me to tears!"

ok maybe you just had to be there but that was damn funny at the time...

Working 50/50

Well this is my first blog from work in a long time. I use to blog all the time when I worked at the computer stores cause I was bored to death. Now that I'm doing website/IT work full time, I'm a lot less bored, a lot more busy, and a lot more tired. But today I REALLY didn't feel like working so here I am, back blogging from work.

The office has kinda been a little bit laid back today anyway since it's Sherry's (the office manager) 50th Birthday. We all went out to Cheesecake Factory for lunch. (mmm Cheesecake). And her niece swipped her keys to the office and came in over the weekend in totally decked out her office in black streamers, confetti in the shape of "50", and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Tonight's the Hidden Frontier chat where they'll be previewing the next episode so I definately gotta be there for that. Can't wait to see what's in store for the final few episodes.
