This weekend is very contingent. There might be might be painting if the weather cooperates. There is a soccer game to go to Saturday assuming the weather cooperates. We may well do a library trip unless painting takes up too much time. Then the usual stuff, cleaning, kid stuff, etc. If my Windows 7 Upgrade arrives, then I'll probably tear down my computer and make all my changes to it. I have a critique to do, and hopefully some writing.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That Bobby McFerrin clip is great. I would have failed at it, but it was great.
I'm sure that's why he did it with the audience, and not the panel, you know what I mean? I heart him.
This weekend, I am packing. And seeing friends, and getting my nails done, and going to the library to just drop off books and not get any new ones. :( Today I have to do some work, even though I'm off. In general, I am really freaking out.
We're going to be the kids' Halloween costumes together (one Roaming Gnome, one zombie cheerleader), possibly seeing Where the Wild Things Are, and figuring out why the kitten is taking so long to get the hang of the litter box (grrrr). Oh, and making a Halloween gingerbread house that Perkins sent the kids!
what is it about house inspection reports that, no matter how mild, make you feel as if the house is going to come crashing down around your ears?
Isn't it fun being confronted with Every Damned Thing That Is Wrong? And the thing is, there is no positively worded stuff in there. If it's fine, it's either not mentioned or you just get neutral verbiage.
Oh, pumpkin carving may happen this weekend. At the very least the kids will pick out their pumpkins to be carved.
Watching Fox News hurts my brain. Apparently Obama's health care plan will mean that patient care will no longer be decided by the patient's doctor, most doctors are OUTRAGED at the plan, Obama's staff can't use Google, all you have to do to treat uninsured patients is make them pay a doctor $79 a month for unlimited check-ups, and one woman owes her life to the current health care plan.
Which current health care plan. Socialized Medicine (the VA), Single-Payer (Medicare, Medicaid), Private Insurance, or go-to-the-ER-and-go-bankrupt?
Oh, Cindy, good luck to you.
ION, I am trying to decide if I should buy this sofa: [link] I think it's weird not to sit in it first, but it's so cheap!
I have a question. My FIL mentioned something about how a scientist that Al Gore quotes or uses or something, now is predicting a cooling cycle. I couldn't say anything about this since I didn't know anything about it.
A brief bit of research does indicate there is indeed some truth to this. From what I can determine this doesn't refute CO2 driven warming, it just means a cooling cycle will mute the effect for a period of time. Does anyone know much about this? It made me curious, but looking up objective info on global warming is difficult.
I can't see any of the puppy pics, am sad.
After a couple of months of no house cleaner, she is back as of today - WHOOT! No bugs or evidence seen in a month, so I felt safe enough to have her come in.
Weekend - the plan was to apple and pumpkin pick tomorrow, but the forecast is rain, so it may jsut be hanging at a friends' house out of the city. Sunday mac and I may go see WTWTA and have Ethiopian food.
