Current mood: aggravated
Well, no ICQ again today. Must be something on Earthlink's end because NOTHING changed here today. ARGH! Wouldn't it be nice if just once everything worked the way it is supposed to?

Ok, I'm just a little tired of all of these stupid bitches on their blogs making fun of Bush choking on a pretzel. I personally have almost passed out from coughing too hard and it is NOT funny. I didn't like Al Gore, but I wouldn't find anything humorous if such an incident had happened to him. I'd like to shove pretzels down all their throats and see who's laughing then.

Geez, can you tell it's my day off? I've been on this computer all day!

ICQ is working again, but not by anything I did on our end. I've been screwing around with settings on my machine all day and all of a sudden I get a green flower. I called Marcus at work to have him logon so I could tell if it was really working and it was. He made me turn on the Mac and it was working there also and I hadn't touched any settings there, so obviously something was fixed by one of the parties (Earthlink or ICQ) that claimed it was "our problem." Oh, well, at least it's working for now.

Argh, I'm burning a bag of microwave popcorn---be right back......

Well, that was a disaster. I knew I set the time too long when I put it in there, but I was thinking it would be OK, I'd listen for it to stop popping. Leave it to me to totally forget about it. Smoke was billowing out of the microwave when I opened it. YUCK!

My lovebird, Kane, has been being rambunctious and fighting with everything in her cage today. Now she's tuckered out and napping on her perch. It's making me sleepy and thinking I want a nap, too.
