on the jukebox: “What You Do to Me” by Craig Morgan

I read Sharon‘s comment from the other day (Saturday the 6th) and it made me laugh. Her friend thinks that Mark Mulder is married. To me! LOL! 😉 I get that all the time. Just the other day one of the deputies asked me, “Is that your husband?” He pointed at my collage, which has me with Mulder as well as Tim Hudson. I told him that I don’t have pictures of my husband up. He said, “Oh, those are just your boyfriends?” We both laughed.

Meesh, TiVo ROCKS! I recommend it to everyone. It’s the way to go.

And because I keep thinking of him…

Kevin Smith (“John Lawless”) in an interview on the Dead Evidence DVD

I still miss him. And I was just a fan. Alas…

on the jukebox: “Lift Me Up” by Geri Halliwell

The drive home wasn’t so bad, but now in the early morning hours rain falls. I hear it, the drip drip outside…

I just made a monster playlist of songs on the slow side. A most eclectic mix. 😉

While at work, I was chatting online with my friend. It’s so cool being able to IM on my Blackberry. I so love technology! 😉

I’ve decided that I’m not going to sign that stupid “directive” attached to last week’s paystub. I wonder what will happen. 😛

That last rose yet still…

My friend is online. Do I say hello? Or do I just satisfy myself with having chatted with him earlier and call it a night? Or an early morning, as it were.

I should go to bed…

on the jukebox: “Hell Yeah” by Montgomery Gentry

I burned another CD today, leading off with the above song, “Hell Yeah.” It’s a country CD. 😉

Yesterday the day was bright but very cool. Today the sky is gray and the wind is cold. I hope the drive to work isn’t too bad!

Webmessenger is now working on my Blackberry! I can now IM from anywhere. How crazy is that? Not that I’m going to be chatting all the time, but the fact that I can if I want to is just way too cool. I like it. 😉

Me with my clean and fresh doggies…

Even though I haven’t gotten a chance to watch Average Joe, I inadvertantly saw that Melana chose her suitor. I was surprised, but I’ll save my thoughts for after I watch the finale. 😉

In an effort to clear out the TiVo, I recorded the A’s vs. Yankees 9th inning to DVD. I sat and watched it. It starts from Jose Guillen’s at-bat. Ellis is already on base. In some ways, the game is insignificant. So why do I care about having it? First off, I WAS THERE! LOL! Second, it was Mark Mulder’s 15th (and final) win of the season. Third, the A’s win was over the Spankees. Yeah baby!

I miss baseball.

Okay, time to get ready for work. 😛

Chris Conrad in CRIMINAL DESIRE

on the jukebox: “Baby It’s Cold Outside” by Lee Ann Womack and Harry Connick Jr.

So the picture above is a screencap (I’m having too much fun again doing screencaps!) of Chris Conrad from a cheesy movie called CRIMINAL DESIRE. Actually, I haven’t subjected myself to the whole movie yet. I don’t know if I can watch a movie with David Faustino as some kind of PI dude. The movie is definitely cheesy because it’s part of a ten movie set of other cheesy movies and the whole thing only cost twenty dollars. Ye gods! I only got the thing because of Chris Conrad. And I bet know one knows who he is. 😉

Quick facts on Chris:

1. He was on Young Hercules as Jason.
2. He taught at his alma mater, St. Thomas Aquinas High School.
3. He’s my age! Not very sure about his birthday, but we think it’s in January.
4. His brother Steve wrote Wrestling Ernest Hemingway, the movie starring Robert Duvall.
5. He’s got a nice, firm handshake.

I met Chris back in 1999, at the Santa Monica Xena Convention. A most wonderful time. During their stage time, Chris jumped off the stage to take a picture with a little girl who happened to be on the same side as me. A gal behind me wanted a hug and he obliged. I didn’t want to be greedy, so I asked for a handshake. He was very kind and shook my hand. Sweet guy. And cute to boot!

CAMCORDER OR PHOTO PRINTER?

I love window shopping. I like wanting more. I don’t necessarily get more, but it’s okay to explore the possibilities, eh?

We were at Best Buy today buying a birthday present and we wandered to the printers section for some reason. The hubby led us to the photo printers and I began to see the appeal of the HP Photosmart 245 compact photo printer. Then we checked out the camcorders, which just frustrated me because I don’t exactly know what kind of camcorder I want. Alas! I need to do more research. 😛

INSPIRATION ELUDES ME…

The same old story: Why can’t I think of anything to write when I’m sitting here with the letters at my fingertips or when the pages of my blank book stare back at me without ink upon the paper? It’s as if I’m waiting, forever WAITING for something to unleash the creativity within. What stops it? What’s my trigger? It shouldn’t be such a struggle, should it?

William Gregory Lee as Zack on DARK ANGEL in the episode “Some Assembly Required”

Sharon – The fellow above is William Gregory Lee. The guy getting choked (in the screencap previously posted) is Jensen Ackles… I’m TEMPTED to do screencaps of Pirates of the Caribbean. Some of Captain Jack Sparrow. A few of Will Turner. Ahh yes. 😉

Oh yes, and WGL was in the JAG episode with Barry Zito. 😉 I’ll be doing screencaps of that as soon as I finalize the DVD. 😀

Vikkicar, screencaptures are so much fun! I used to do them all the time for my fellows on Xena, Hercules, and Dark Angel. My fansites are filled with all kinds of screencaps of different shows. ::sigh:: Sometimes I miss those days.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN…

We just watched POTC. I love that movie! I really liked Orlando Bloom in it. The sword fights. The pirates. Awww…

AND WHAT ELSE TODAY?

Our house is clean and now our dogs are clean! They got groomed today. They feel soft and they smell good. 😀

Back in my screencapturing heyday, I spent hours and hours on the computer capturing images of my favorite fellows on Xena and Hercules. I had a very handy device called a Snappy and I got so much use out of it. Later I tried WinTV. It did a very decent job.

Now, I can do screencaps of stuff I save on DVD. How utterly amazing is that?! 😛 Well, perhaps I’m a bit geeky, hence my enthusiasm. 😉

Alec (Jensen Ackles) and Zack (William Gregory Lee) in the Dark Angel episode “Some Assembly Required”

Today the hubby was showing me how he could do screencaptures from DVDs on his computer with this neat program. Well, I just had to see if I could do it too and lo! The result is above. This means I could conceivably redo my Hercules/Xena screencaps with relative ease. Should I do it? I think it would be a great way to update my sites. New screencaps! 😀 Isn’t it just BEAUTIFUL? No weird interference lines and such. The image is crisp. I only had to do minor adjustments. So, WOW! LOL…
