Monday musings

Another rose after yesterday's rain
Another rose after yesterday’s rain…

I had a dream about Josh Duhamel. Of course, I can’t remember a thing about it. I just know that I dreamt of him. Hmmm. I want to know more about him, but his website is a bit outdated. The last new thing seems to be his Emmy win. Which is nice, of course, but I want to know more! 😛

Kiari.com has been online for five years yesterday. Woohoo! 😀 I can’t believe it. It’s been that long? Wowsers…

I don’t want to go to work today. The nice thing is that tomorrow is a holiday and I get the day off. 😀

After the rain…

After the rain
A rose after the rain…

No more rain. The moon is bright when the clouds aren’t drifting in front of it…

SHOUTS OUT TO…

Sharon – It sucks about that chick copying your layout. I think you should tell her dad! Seriously. It’s copyright infringement. And it’s so obvious she copied your site. For goodness’ sakes!… And isn’t my dog just adorable? She’s a big HAM!

Krisann – I am very glad to help! And I was going to do an FTP thing for you, but I can’t get into your site! Ye gods! I’ll figure it out. Somehow… And Saffy is a crazy dog, but adorable. Meggie is better behaved, but big. She’s very loveable. 🙂 And I don’t know when I’m going to publish my novel. Wait, I have to write it first!

::celeste:: – I am so glad you’re back online! Or did I totally miss something and you’ve been online much longer than I’ve known? Nonetheless, I’m so glad you’re still out there. 😉 Whatever happened to ofuda.net?

THIS NEW LAYOUT…

I’ve made the font a little bit bigger for this part of the blog. It looks nicer. 😉 I’ve also added the scan of the Virgil card autographed by William Gregory Lee. (Thank you Greg!) And yes, see that box that says “…question for me?” You can type a question for me, then click “i dare ya” to send me the question. I’ll answer them in the blog. Perhaps as I get them. Or perhaps on a certain day. We shall see if I even get any questions. LOL!

The sun is coming out…

When I woke up this morning, rain was falling and the sky was dark with gray clouds. I took some pictures in my backyard. Just because…

A rain soaked rose
A rain soaked rose…

A drop in a puddle
A drop in a puddle…

Roses drooping and dripping
Roses drooping and dripping…

And now I think the sun has retreated back behind the clouds…

Listening to “I Fall to Pieces” by Natalie Cole

I can’t resist…

My doggies are fresh and clean. Look!

A noseless Saffy with a bow in her head...

Meggie, just happy to be home...
Meggie is just glad to be home!

Listening to “Perdido Sin Ti” by Ricky Martin

Yes, ask me a question!

I added a question box. Ye gods! 😀 So, be nice. Be inquisitive. Go on, ask me a question…

Listening to “In Another’s Eyes” by Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks

New layout!

I guess I just got tired of the lighter background and went with the mostly black. I couldn’t resist keeping Mark Mulder up… Anyhoo, I’ve also added a picture of him with Barry Zito and Tim Hudson. Links, etc are on the right as opposed to the left. Hmm, what else? Oh, I’ve changed the format of the archives. Does anyone ever even go back to the archives besides me? 😛

And it’s “version: dark, secret” because 1) the background is dark, 2) I’m still into the song “Secret” by Maroon 5.

It’s been so gray and cloudy. Rain has been falling into the night.

Listening to “Sway” by Peter Cincotti

Ahhh, the weekend…

I didn’t realize until late this past week that next week has a holiday. Woohoo! 😀 A day off for me. I love days off. 😉

Tomorrow (err, today actually) my dogs get groomed. This is what they looked like after their last grooming:
Meggie in the background, Saffy up front

You can’t really tell that Meggie got groomed. But Saffy has that tell tale ribbon on the top of her head. 😉

I’m trying not to let work get to me, but I think I perhaps like getting annoyed sometimes. It’s good to feel something, even if it’s something stupid like annoyance.

Why do I always forget what I want to write about when I’m finally in front of the computer? Wait, it’s coming to me…

WOES OF TELEVISION WATCHING…

SURVIVOR – I was disappointed by Savage getting voted off. BUMMER! I liked him. I guess he should have been more forthright with Lill. Perhaps if he had, he’d still be there. I really wish they had voted off that annoying guy John. He’s such an ass! (I know, I shouldn’t say such things, but ye gods!) On the plus side, I was very glad to see Burton voted back on. As I studied him, I was suddenly struck by the way his mouth reminded me of Kevin Smith. It was like a punch in the gut. What a strange time to think of Kevin. Speaking of Kevin…

HERCULES THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS – When we turned on the tv this morning (Friday morning), the Sci-Fi channel was having a mini-Hercules marathon or something. The episode that started at 11 was “What’s in a Name?” That episode just happened to be Kevin Smith’s first appearance on the show. He played Iphicles, Hercules’ half brother. It was good to catch glimpses of him as I had lunch and got ready for work. Oh, how I miss him…

TARZAN – Looks like Tarzan, a show I enjoy very much, is going on hiatus. It’s probably going to get cancelled, which SUCKS! Sure, my main draw in the first place was Mitch Pileggi and Lucy Lawless, but I’ve come to really enjoy the performances by Sarah Wayne Callies and Travis Fimmel. I think “Jane” is a really cool character. Or maybe I just have a natural appreciation for cop characters nowadays. Well, good cop characters. 😉

COUPLING (US version) – What made them think they could do this show anyway? But I watched it because I was curious. And I think it’s a shame that they didn’t give the show a chance. I was hoping for more “original” (ie non-British version) episodes. I enjoyed the last episode. Patrick was a HOOT! Now we won’t know what happens with the American counterparts to the British hit. On the very plus side, the original COUPLING is set to begin production on the fourth series. WOOHOO! Have I mentioned that I love the show? I do!

JAKE 2.0 – Yeehaw, we get a whole season of JAKE 2.0! I’m so glad! I would love if ONE new show that I like actually makes it past the first season. JAKE 2.0 is a cool show. I can totally relate to geekiness of Jake. He’s cool. 🙂

LAS VEGAS – Another show that’s gotten a full season order. I love LAS VEGAS. All the characters are a trip. And okay, I love the Danny character. He’s cool. And wouldn’t you know it, Josh Duhamel (“Danny”) played on All My Children. I probably saw him on the soap! He could have been Dusty Donovan on As the World Turns? Wow, he’s also an Emmy winner! Cool beans. He’s a good actor. 🙂

Do I watch too much tv or what?! LOL!
