I took this picture to show you that it's cold outside. I'm writing this, and I've already been up to school and run some errands, and missed an appointment with my boss this semester because she didn't come in today - no message or e-mail for me! I found out by a sign on the door. I'm sure it was an emergency and I was not her first priority, and I had other things to take care of anyway.

And it's really cold. I'm sure you've heard this from other online journallers. The high today is supposed to be 15 degrees Fahrenheit. The HIGH. And that's not even counting the wind chill - it got down to -40 degrees last night with the wind chill. Not that I went outside, but I looked out the window and it looked really cold. We're talking freezing nose hair cold. Okay, enough about the weather.

Mar and I went to Rochester on Saturday, and I bought some new couch pillows at Target and some books at Waldenbooks. I had a gift certificate for the mall there, and that's the only bookstore in that mall, so there you go. Mar had to get a baby shower gift, and she bought a couple of other things as well. We love Target. I wish we had a Target in Syracuse.

I did a Party of Five recap last week, and the Felicity one and the Real World/Road Rules 2000 one should be up today or tomorrow at Mighty Big TV. So that's taken up a lot of my time. I have a WWF article due this week as well. That's a lot of writing! Plus classes start this week, plus my GA ship.

Why am I telling you all this? As way of explanation that I probably won't be updating my journal as much for the next few weeks at least. Things are hectic, and when I look at all the things on my plate, most of them involve writing, either for school or money, and those take precedence over writing for fun! I do plan to keep up on my weblog, so you can bookmark that page. You can also join my notify list and I'll let you know when I update the journal. Count on the weblog being updated every weekday and the journal, whenever. Only if I have something to say and the time to say it, at least for a while!

Smell ya later!

The new Napster beta is out. If you listen to MP3s, you should have Napster.

I think this is a pretty good article about DVD players, but what do I know?

Poor Dead Ray Carver. First, his editor claims he wrote all his stories. Now, someone is claiming he stole "Cathedral" from D.H. Lawrence. Can't they leave Dead Ray alone? (I only say Dead Ray because Stacey is a huge Carver fan and her e-mail address is deadray@somewhere.com).

Whitney Houston busted for pot in Hawaii. Is anyone besides me surprised that it was just pot? I expected stronger drugs from Whit.

Two of the best stories I've seen today: food "intolerances" are psychosomatic and a guy had a breast growing out of the back of his leg!
