Starting off with a dream I had last night. Me and Jackie where friends with the Schuster character from Glee. Except that he lived in a trailer house and had a huge snake problems. Dangerous snakes where crawling into his dilapidated trailer and having lots of baby snakes. Me and Jackie where professional snake catches. So we came over and helped catch the snakes, but we just placed them in boxes that they could easily get out of, so we had to keep re-catching them. Odd indeed.

Now to the ick, children. It seems everyone I'm friends on Facebook have lost their own identity and are what their children are. Posting pictures, commenting on other posts that reference their child. I know you child is important to you, but you are not your child, you have a life don't you?

It annoys me that you change your profile pick to your kid. You dress you kid up and toss them in the snow where they cry and you take a picture and post it like its the cutest thing ever. I became friends on facebook to be friends with you, not your freaking child. I can tolerate a few posts about your child, but when all you posts are about your rugrat, It grows tiresome quickly.

The holidays went rather well. Spent 2 and half days with my parents. Saw my sister for the first time since we moved to Austin. Saw Cliff as well and Brandon, joked about how they should move here, but I imagine it won't ever happen. Things have been stable for the most part. We did see Valkyrie the day after Christmas which was a really good movie.

Returned to work after two weeks off this past week. Was hard getting started and back into the groove, but I've made impressive progress on a movie library database system and shopping cart system.

I decided to return to my roots in Everquest and joined a raiding guild with my Enchanter. How I missed her, I've had a blast meeting people in the guild and contributing what I can on raids. I still have 3 levels to gain, and then I can hopefully grind some AAs and get some new bells and whistles.

This November while quite some time away, will mark the tenth anniversary of this website. I was looking over the old versions, and may start poking ideas for later this year. How time flies!

So I was bad and bought a laptop this past weekend. I've been looking at getting one for several weeks, but had not found one I liked at the right price. This past weekend Bestbuy had a really nice one on sale and I decided to get it. Its a Core 2 Duo with 4 Gigs of memory, Nvidia 9600 video card with 512 dedicated memory, blu-ray player, 17 inch monitor, and Vista 64 bit Home Premium installed. Its a pretty nice machine.

I'm in week three of having a nasty cough, and its really annoying. The weather in Austin has been great, its a huge change over Oklahoma at this time of year, and may take some getting used to. When we moved down here we noticed a new Chinese place was in the process of opening. It took them a long time, but they finally opened a few weeks ago. Its got all the great food I like, and Jackie likes, and seems to be our new buffet spot when we want Chinese.

I got on Facebook about 3 weeks ago now, and its been quite interesting. Managed to touch base with a number of people I haven't chatted with in ten years or so, as well as some relatives, and other people I know. If you know me, feel free to look me up there.
