Dang, tomorrow is the last day of November! This month just flew by. Except for today. A 65 minute drive to get 18 miles to work just sucks. Stupid snow. Stupid people who don't know how to drive in snow.

Since I'm freakin' freezing (it's 13°F and quickly dropping) and I feel like doing nothing besides sitting on this couch wrapped up in my quilt, I present links to cool, stupid or interesting stuff I've been meaning to post and just haven't yet:

A Real Simpsons House — don't know why, but it's kind of cool.
Adultitis — how to find out if you suffer from it and how to treat it.

Well, shoot...I had more than that on my brain when I started this post. The dog keeping me awake all night has messed with my brain. I'll add more later as I think of them.

Hey, have you seen one of the newest Apple commercials? Check out the "Meant for Work" one. Poor PC is lamenting having to play video games and play music. He's been plastered with all sorts of stickers. Just like my friend Mike's PC! It made me giggle.

It's going to be yucky cold most of next week. Looks like tomorrow is going to be the warmest day of the week. Boooo! I am so not looking forward to this. I absolutely hate being cold. Figures that there is snow in the forecast when I wanted Marcus to help me get the outside lights up next weekend. *sigh* Oh, well.

I watched Easter Parade on TCM last night and am currently watching In The Good Old Summertime. I don't think in all of these years I've actually watched anything with Judy Garland in it except the Wizard of Oz. Is it me or was she not really that good of an actress? She seems so stiff and wooden. I know she had some severe psychological problems and took drugs. I don't know if that affected her acting. It's sad because she had such a wonderful singing voice. There was a scene last night where you could really see the sadness in her eyes and that wasn't acting.

It came to Marcus' and my attention that we will be losing our east coast/west coast network station packages on December 1. Even though, Dish Netowrk had something worked out, some stupid judge butted in and declared that they had to stop offering them. I've emailed my senators and congressman, but I seriously doubt they'll do anything to save them. How stupid! There is no way I'm going to be able to record all the shows I normally watch now. Who does it really hurt if I watch the NBC from New York or CBS from L.A. Don't give me that local advertising crap because I fast forward through commercials on every station. Besides, I watch plenty of TV with my attenae back in the bedroom where I can't FF. The only other solution is to eventually get another PVR, but we don't have money for that now.

You know how I wrote this morning about wanting to get some money put away for my future. Just working a 9-5 type of job the rest of my life isn't going to do that. I'm looking into ways that I can cash in on the Internet and I've found a book that may just help me do that. Jeremy Palmer of QuitYourDayJob.com has written an ebook called High Performance Affiliate Marketing, an affiliate handbook packed with tips on how to generate income as an Internet affiliate.

Jeremy claims he made over $1,000,000 last year. While I probably wouldn't want to invest the time and energy it would take to make that kind of money, it would be nice to get enough extra income coming in where I wouldn't have to go work a second retail job until I retire.
