h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Weird feeling to see Welcome...I'm not...and Unknown all at the same time.

I know...it's crazy!

Do they make prozac for computers?

That presupposes that computers would get depression without it. Or obsessive-compulsive syndrome....

There's always that um, medication I'm considering administering - the good ol' 50 pound sledgehammer... Although right now I've taken to unplugging it whenever I'm not at it, that seems to (usually) make things run a little more smoothly when I am.

In any case "Hi, hello, how are ya?..."*waves to one & all* How're things goin' this bright & sunny - at least here - Thurs.?

I have had a schizophrenic computer... Darned thing would disavow it's own keyboard in mid sentence, ignore the existence of a database containing 140,000 items and stare blankly at me with a "foxuser.dbf" doesn't exist prompt. There is no blank stare that compares to the blank stare of a computer.

Hi Jazz. Today was bright and sunny here too. Today wasn't that bad, managed to catch up on my paperwork Have you ever run a disc defragmenter on that computer?

Oh yes, have been defrag'ing fairly regularly, but lately even that's like pulling teeth. So I'm just trying to hang on for now & I'll get it "ripped asunder!" in late May or early June.

The day's gone quite quietly which is good, gearing up for a fairly busy weekend. The city's been chosen to host this year's Juno Awards-our equivalent of The Grammys. http://www.juno-awards.ca or http://www.junos.ctv.ca Various musical showcases going on, including at the club http://www.yardbirdsuite.com Fri. & Sat.(I'll probably catch the award ceremony broadcast Sun...if you're interested I just made a Journal entry in the "~music~" thread on my PS.)

Have you tried the disk clean up utility in the accessories folder, under system tools? It does make a noticeable difference after purging the temporary files and cookies.

I'll take a look at the music links when I have a bit more time. I'm kind of multi tasking at the moment.

Hmm, it's worth a try...ok, I'm quite a multi-tasker too...well sometimes moreso than others.

Don't rub it in with all this talk about sunlight. Here in Boston, the April showers came right on schedule, and will last (off and on) for the next week. The sun must be on vacation in some other part of the country.

We've had so much rain already that 2/3 of my street is under water,
and all of my front walkway is water. My lawn is being invaded along the edges....

I had the afternoon off, but didn't go anywhere except the swimming pool and the grocery store....

Sorry, Paul.

If it's any consolation, Louisiana will get a fair share of rain once the hurricane season starts in June.

Well, er, technically you and Jazzedupcurry don't have any sun right now either, because it's night time where you are.

I actually like rain, but I don't appreciate having to put on hip-length wading boots to get to my car.

Hurricane season???? You mean I'll be there during hurricane season??? No-one told me about this.

::stomps off to annoy his travel agent::

Can't you people just have four season like everyone else?

Officially, hurricane season is June 1 through November 1. Hurricane season doesn't usually get interesting until July.

Louisiana seasons: King Cake, Duck Hunting, Crawfish, Gumbo.

Oh well, fair enough. But you can be pretty sure that *this* year there will be a hurricane of one sort or another in New Orleans from June 5th to June 9th.

Pat O'Brian's (New Orleans bar) is famous for the mixed drink named the Hurricane.

Pleasant surprise at the farmer's mkt today, the people I get my fresh Cayenne peppers from (& sometimes jalapenos) had some Habaneros...I bought 8 for $2, not bad! Just sliced & cleaned the 4 jalapenos I bought - for the club tonight, I feel so cheap/inadequate making up their 'Ultimate Norteno' nachos; just tortilla chips, chopped tomato & green bell pepper sprinkled with grated cheese then microwaved. When I was slicing the jalapenos, I just ate the little butt ends raw ...sure cleared my sinuses!

I love nachos. Would you like a recipe(of sorts) for stuffing fresh jalapenos?

Hmm, sure hun, sounds geat!!
