I did an update to my writing blog; adding in a Now Reading section using a well-written WordPress plugin: http://blog.hopestation.net/index.php?now_reading_library=true I replaced the horrid Amusements plugin that was there to begin with, and I hacked the php to pull images from Amazon as coded, but to use my Barnes & Noble affiliate information because I …

<lj user=”maggiesox”>, you’ll never beleive this…
LOL. SantorumBlog linked to me, because of my post about Santorum losing. Apparently, I’m a far-leftie! I’m representing the far-left vote! I think maybe 5 people read this blog, but I guess I have to say thanks to John for providing me with a bigger microphone than usual. Much obliged, John! 🙂 And don’t forget: …

The Looong Week
The nice thing about working where I work is the fact that I split my shifts with project days. I usually work three project days to seven shift days, which also allows my coworker to switch off a week with me over whether we get one day that week or two days that week devoted …

Meme Alert: Friday Five
1. If you could, would you be a movie star or a rock star? Which one, and why? I think I would probably be a rock star, because I prefer music to drama. 🙂 2. Have you ever been in the media (TV, radio, papers)? Yes. I was and currently am on the radio and …

Oh, man. I’ve been hooked on watching “The Convict” from The Office’s third season, simply because of the scene at the very end where Ed Helms as Andy Benard sings while playing the banjo to Jenna Fischer’s Pam Beesly over the ending credits. The look she gives the camera as she turns to eye the …

Santa & Me or The Case of the Magical Invisible Fat Man
Today’s Holidailies prompt is: Today is St. Nicholas’ Day: Did you believe in Santa Claus/Father Christmas? How did you find out the truth? Would you tell your kids about Santa? I’m pretty sure my parents went out of their way to preserve the fantasy-as-reality of Santa Claus. Up until the age of ten or eleven, …

Portia
I picked up a portable 250gb drive last week and proceeded to offload a whole mess of stuff from the laptop and game machine over to it. Mostly media, like music and video, especially my iPod video versions of some DVDs I own (The West Wing, The Office) and iTunes-purchased stuff. I ended up clearing …

I Need a Sax
Today’s Holidailies prompt: Holiday music: essential part of the season, or ‘no way, it makes my ears bleed’? I don’t know if it’s necessarily essential, but then ever since Capra made It’s a Wonderful Life, it seems like that movie is essential to the American holiday season. For the record, I haven’t seen that movie …

Where: the humble abode of and When: Sunday Dec. 10, noon-whenever. Come by when you can and hang out as long as you want. What about food?: I’ll supply …

Let the Sunshine In
Today’s prompt at Holidailies is: Sunny or snowy: Which makes for the better holiday season, and why? Sunny. I’m proud to be a California native and I’ve lived in the San Jose area all my life. Every Christmas I can recall, with the exception of one freak snowfall in the early 80s, has been sunny. …
