Scene: Early morning - Marie is sleeping
2:17 AM
Text message received by Marie which wakes her up (419 area code by the way):
"Im sry for what i said the other day. Really. It was immature n mean of me Uhh.manda"
Well Uhh.manda, next time you decide to text people at 2:17 in the morning, make sure it's not a wrong number!
I was so close to texting her back with "I never want to see you again, leave me alone" I think she figured it out (which is too bad) because after the text she called and got my voice mail.

Who knows if anyone can help me but I'll take any suggestion.
We would like to create a messageboard/wiki for work and I'm having difficulty with our IT people. I don't know much about the world of computers, but this is what IT told me. They support Oracle and no other data bases. Then apparently you need one other application for a wiki like PHP or something else, which IT might support.
I looked for wikis and found that they can be done using flat-file databases (whatever that means, well I know it means we don't have to mess with support for Oracle) and they seem promising, but I'm not sure yet. I also explored external messsage board hosting, which I really like that idea, except for we want to have internal discussions and who knows what management thinks about having our discussions on a separate server. (and I'm still all for it because you can create message boards with only certain people able to view/use them)
Bottom line:
-I need suggestions for a message board/wiki
-Needs to be free
-I need to be able to convince IT to try to use it or I need to be able to use it without going through IT (such as one hosted on an external site)

Tell us about your own prequel or sequel to a favorite movie.
Toy Story 2 is probably one of the best sequels ever! It's even better than the original movie. Aliens is also an excellent sequel and my favorite in the series, but it is better than the original for different reasons than Toy Story 2.

A thought for this morning...when you're feeling too small to matter in this world just remember, even little farts stink.

i have not done anything noteworthy recently. i think it's funny that our administrative assistant drives my supervisor nuts. i mean i suppose it could be expected that she would drive me nuts, but when my supervisor started talking about how she drives him nuts it made my day.
we got glass block windows for the basement! who knew windows could be so exciting. now we can't see the squirrels (or our neighbor) from the basement windows, but at least it's a whole lot warmer/safer.
my grandma sent me a welcome home basket...i must say Harry and David know how to make a good truffle...
I hope Jeff and Erin had fun in Chicago. as this past weekend came around I was thinking about how i could have been going there too, and i was like i'm glad i'm not traveling in this mess. the snow got better as the weekend progressed though (and i can't believe how warm 40 deg F is) and now we just have to worry about flooding.

Finally, finally got everything moved into the house and my apartment cleaned, I'm hoping for most of my deposit back...I'm sure they have seen apartments in worse condition.
Now I need to find and organize the things I just threw into boxes. My silly accomplishments: put some insulation up, programmed the garage door opener with 2 openers, hung some blinds, and fixed the shower so it can get really hot water.

Because I so rarely go to see movies I thought I might as well talk about one that I saw this weekend...Pan's Labrynth
Overall a good movie, and I would tell other people to see it, if dark fantasy/suspense was their thing. I had read a review of it that said "not for the squemish" and I was like "how bad can it be?" Well, this movie is not for the squemish, and don't take that lightly...although you could turn away at the bad parts and not miss the story, but it really was horribly uncomfortable to watch some of the scenes. I loved a couple of the characters, visually the movie was great (except for the uncomfortable parts) and very well done. The story was good, but wasn't deeply moving and not much to reflect on. As I said, overall a good movie, the plot held my attention but it was much more of a visual work.

Ahhhh spam-mail:
So, startled, quivering,
So you can watch me watch uplifted snow
Stunned in their voiceless way to be alive
and the numbed yards will go back undercover.
trainer flips young alligators over on their backs,
Against which we have been projected? What . . .
By the design of our own silent eyes
Late February, and the air's so balmy
Are gliding toward me on the ice into
Come, swallows, it's good-bye.
As if your absence now concluded long ago.
I do not betray you, I still go forward,
Escapees from the cold work of living,
XV. The International Circumpolar Stations: The Greely Expedition
VI. Smeerenburg and the Whale-Oil Rush
A kind of snow, which hesitates
I bring down a bit of its light
Oh, I know. The snow. The effective snow
Homeward into the howling woods

I bought a house! The cats told me they won't help me move anything, I'm still considering the possibility of harnesses and forced labor.

I've heard it said many times, homemade macaroni and cheese is better than the kind out of the box, but I just don't see it. I prefer macaroni and cheese out of the box, especially if it's the kind with the powder stuff.

This was a good documentary about Sesame street and how they take it to other countries...http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/worldaccordingtosesamestreet/ In 1968, the creators originally assessed American children and discovered that the lower class children needed some means of teaching them a little bit before kindergarden so that it would level the playing field so to speak when they started school. So now when someone in a different country wants to produce a Sesame Street they do a similar assessment. I find it amazing that in Kosovo they wanted to talk about what to do if you find a granade and in South Africa one of the muppets has HIV and her mom died of AIDS.
