You gotta love those wacky programmers over at Google. They now have a Map Service that is way better than MapQuest or Yahoo! Maps. If you click on Local Search and put something like "scrapbook" in the "What" box and "Denver, CO" in the "Where" box, it flags all related results for you on a large map. If you click on one of the result balloons, a pop-up with the Name, Phone, Address, Website (if applicable), and links for directions are right there. The navigation of the maps is a whole lot quicker than the other map sites, as well. This thing is totally awesome. Go check it out.

Sorry about the lack of posting lately. I just haven't been up to it. All I've been doing lately is working, vegging in front of the TV and sleeping . . . A LOT of sleeping. The good news is I think I kicked the bug I got last week and my neck is feeling somewhat better. Bad news is my back is still killing me.

The Gilmore Girls season premiere I was so looking forward to on Tuesday was a tad disappointing. Oh, well. I still liked the show for the most part, though. The whole Rory/Dean storyline really annoys me. I really wasn't impressed by Jason Alexander's new show Listen Up. Too bad it sits in between two shows I like to watch. I cried a lot Monday when they killed off my favorite character Tim Speedle (Rory Cochrane) on CSI: Miami. I read on a message board somewhere that he wants to concentrate on movies. *sigh* I'll miss him. What else? Oh, the new season of Dr. Phil is boooooring. I've started watching a show called Starting Over that is kind of interesting. Joey is pretty funny so far and I know I'll like The Apprentice more when I get to know the contestants better. Well, guess that about covers my premiere week so far. Man, I am watching way too much TV lately.

A friend of mine from school found this cool avatar maker that I was dinking around with a couple of nights ago. Here's the results:

I think the one I made of Marcus came out pretty good. There wasn't any hair that was just like mine (too frumpy, I guess), but this is close enough. I found it highly amusing that both of our laptop models were there. LOL

Oh, BTW, I have a few Gmail invites if anybody still wants one. Leave me a comment and be sure to include your email address.
