as per the meme… what the heck.

Suggest to me:

1. A movie.
2. A book.
3. A musical artist, song, or album.
4. An LJ user not on my friends list.
5. Something to do in the next two months.

2 1/2 weeks off from work is a great way to forget everything
you were working on. I think I’m mostly back into the swing
of things at this point though.

random thoughts:

I need to figure out what the top of my coatrack is gonna
look like. I have 6 feet of 1inch steel tube, 16 feet of 1 inch
square tubing, about a 2×5 foot plate of 1/4 inch steel, and 12
feet of 1/4inch steel “pencil” rod. Any suggestions?

I often see people refer to going to “club”. What exactly
is that? I was assuming goth night at legends, but aren’t
sure.

my friendster list seems to have exploded over the last
month or so. I guess I know more people than I thought.
Still not sure what exactly it is useful for.

I think I may need to actually install a windows partition
(I think my new computer came with a windows install disk…)
to do any decent dvd authoring stuff. The linux tools really
suck if you don’t like xml editing by hand. Heck, they
probably suck even if you like editing xml by hand.
But ick, I really don’t want to have to install a windows
partion on general warm and fuzzy principle (been close to
10 years now with no windows…). Hard to rationalize
supporting a company that is doing everything possible
legal or otherwise to put my employer out of business.
Having a job is cool and stuff.

I should really start looking for a house or whatever.

I seem to be staring at a large bug in code that was deemed
“perfect” by QA over two months ago. Joy.

I have a mostly irrational fear of xml.

Dude, Lasers! And Monster Trucks!. Monster Trucks with
lasers mounted on them. A cannon that fires monster trucks
at the moon.
(aka, what to do with half a billion dollars…)

I have all the crap I need to start on a 4 x 5 foot
“megadoodle”, but havent yet. I’m lazy.
