From the LA Times, an article about high schools that is requiring students have some plans after high school to attend graduation ceremonies. I’m sorry, this is just lame.  You’ve gone through school, you should get to attend.  It is not like you did anything wrong.  And I don’t like the arguments for why they are doing it.

I’ve resisted hacking my tivo for a while now.  The real reason is that I just am lazy and I haven’t yet run into any hack that really jumped out at me.  Until now.  Someone’s working on a way to set up a TiVo with 802.11b.  Yes indeed folks, wireless.  This would rock.  In fact, this is something I think TiVo needs to think about having as an option in the future.

I’ll be watching this site for when full instructions and hardware becomes available.

Even with going to sleep early these days I still feel pretty wiped out when I wake up in the morning. I’m almost thinking a nap when I get home from work might be in order.

Vanderwal.net has a great little article about switching to OS X. This mirrors my experience with OS X also.  I had one meltdown, which was partly due to a hardware glitch, but it was a problem that could happen on any OS (I was once again shown why you don’t just turn a computer off).

For anyone who is looking for a new computer. I do highly recommend at least looking at Apple.  I have been pleasantly surprised at just how much I don’t miss my windows box.

I like doing this a bit. So I’m going to keep doing it every few days. My audiotron stalled sometime during the night, so I just restarted it. Once again, my morning music:

• Ain’t That So – Roxy Music

• New Dress – Depeche Mode

• You Make Me Feel So Good – Book of Love

• Hush – Toni Childs

• Date Stamp – ABC

• Dial 9 Hitman – Big Audio Dynamite

• Lakeside Drive – Nitzer Ebb

There ya go. These lists are the order that songs are coming out of my stereo mp3 player. Currently I have over 2800 songs that I’ve ripped from my CDs in it, so there’s a fair amount of music. Everything from Erasure to Meat Beat Manifesto to My Bloody Valentine to Frank Sinatra. It makes for some very odd mixtures of music at times, but I like it.

[Quotes of the Day]

I got a comment on one of my LiveJournal food posts. It seems that in IE if you type ‘chickenpotpie’ into the address line it brings up the search results for that word and my food blog is the first site. Yes, I am the master of the Chicken Pot Pie. Search engines are just too wacky sometimes.

Whew. This weekend felt really long. Friday was just me hanging out waiting for my Oxygen (which I never ended up getting, I may rant on that later). I went to see Spider-man and really enjoyed it. I thought it really felt like I was watching a comic book.

Saturday was me bumming around Harvard Square for a bit. Hit the used CD store and was VERY happy to find some Danielle Dax CDs. One of them being an import that I know would be very hard to find. I also found a promo copy of Steel Angel Kurumi on DVD. It looks to be a promotional copy for stores or reviewers, but it was under $15 so I picked it up. Then my friend Heather and I went to go see the Escaflowne movie.

I have to say that the movie didn’t thrill me much. I am a big fan of the tv series and the movie just left me kind of bored. I hated the character designs, they just didn’t look right. I would have much prefered a sequel to the tv series then a whole new story.

Today I woke up early and drove down to CT to see my family. My uncle and cousin were in town to visit with my Grandmother, who is currently in recovery from congestive heart failure. She’s actually looking pretty well, though she’s lost quite a bit of weight since I saw her at Thanksgiving. I could tell she couldn’t wait to be out of the recovery place she was in. Hopefully she’ll be out in a few days.

Now I’m off to sleep so I can go to rehab in the morning. I actually completely slept through my clock Friday morning, so didn’t make it then.

It ends up my cousin and uncle did make it to CT late last night. I just decided moments ago that I should be driving down there to do to the family thing. As a result I’ll be keeping fairly quiet today. I’ve got lots of things I feel like rambling about here, but I’ll do it later (maybe).

I want episode 26 to be fansubbed! I just got done watching 25 and it just left off at a point where I want to know what happens next!
