Move over Apple and Google: Amazon Releases Their New Cloud Player

What's making Apple and Google quiver in their boots this beautiful day?  The word on everyone's lips this morning: Amazon Cloud Player.

Ooo.  Doesn't just send shivers up your spine?  What? never heard of it?  That may be because it just released.  Amazon Cloud Player and Amazon Cloud Drive offer customers a new way to shop for and store their vast music collections online.

New Class Assignment: Glogster? Huh? What?

So, I found a new something to while away my time and whittle down my productivity: Glogster!

I've never heard of such but apparently the glog is an up and coming thing.  People who have MySpace pages will love this.  Believe it or not, my professor was the one who introduced me to this little bit of internet fluff.  We had a book report to turn and as an alternative and creative way to do a book report, we had to create and turn in a glog about it.

Fun huh?

What's a Glog, you say?  Well, I'll tell you.

What’s For Dinner? Beef!

Guess what I’m having for dinner tonight? 

I know that some people don’t dig meat  but I am not one of them.  Sometimes I absolutely crave an inappropriately large cut of juicy steak. There’s nothing wrong with a nice clogged artery once in a while, eh?  Besides I always eat my steak with veggies, I promise.  

I try to get my red meat fix once a week and someone always has a sale on something.    This week’s steak:  Grilled T-Bone.  Mmm.  My favorite!

We started with a nice 1 inch cut T-bone (approx. 1lb., added kosher salt, garlic powder, and fresh cracked pepper, tenderized

Stupid Laptop!

So, my computer is broken.  I mean, it crashed or something.  I don’t know what happened.    It’s a Toshiba Satellite L305 and we’ve only had it about three years.  I figured I might get just a bit more use out of it than this.  I still have 84gbs of space to use!   Crap.   I am very sad.  It “lost” several of my more recently added or updated programs and  wouldn’t allow me to turn on my Anti-virus (Norton).  So I downloaded another anti-virus to protect it while it was being a butt hole.

 I finally got Norton on.  Ran scans with Windows Defender, Norton, AVG, and Malwarebytes and no viruses or any problems were found.   I ran some diagnostics, did some trouble-shooting.  Nothing.   7 hours later, yes, I said seven, --the Norton scan alone took 4 hours--,  It seems there is nothing wrong with the laptop.  The computer wasn’t giving me trouble anymore so it seemed like it might work alright.  I used it, no problems, then shut down, as usual.

As you may know I dabble in a bit of poetic composition.

In other words, I try to write poetry.  Well, I finally got the nerve up, --via a poetry class that required I submit some of my work--, and sent a poem or two in.

I got one rejection and one acceptance.  Yay!  One out of two ain't bad, I'm thinking.  Although I do somewhat want to string up the people who rejected my poem, with barbed wire by their toes.


Just a little bit.

Ode to a Wine Glass

In honor of Spring Break and the many, many, unwashed, up-all-night, throwing up in a garbage can, youth and not-so-youth out there celebrating it the best way they know how, here's to you! 

 Isn't it wonderful when St. Patrick's Day and Spring Break are in the same week?  

Software Downloads, Free?

Yes, I said Free!  There was a time that your basic software cost an arm and two legs to download.  Most of us know of a piece of software or a program we wanted to try out but didn't have the money to spend on something that we may not even use.  But, no more.  You see, there are a lot of people on the web who are just as broke as the rest of us, but have the skills to create open source versions  or replacements or freeware of those very costly programs that we love and want, but can't afford.  

A Letter To Charlie Sheen

Dear Mr. Charlie Sheen,


Thank you for flipping out.  You have finally achieved what you seemed to to be determined to do and got yourself fired.  Bravo! No, I am not being facetious in the least.  I applaud you, Sir, for getting out.

You see, I love How I Met Your Mother.  No, I mean, I friggin' LOVE that show.  It's funny as ?@#%.  The cast, the dialog, the way they play off each other; it's (dare I say it) reminiscent of FRIENDS.  There.  I said it.  And that's the highest honor I can give a series in my opinion.

Here's the problem.  There's HIMYM, a true gem of a comedy half hour, and there's Mike and Molly, a wonderful show that I am coming to really appreciate.  Then there's your show.  Nestled in between two fresh, buxom, brilliant beauties like a shriveled, dull, gray, wart-faced troll just waiting for it's chance to unleash the foul breath  of stagnant refuse that is Two and a Half Men, on the world.   No longer will I be forced to sit in mind and butt-numbing boredom as CBS trots out that lame ass, tired, pointless played out show.
