Nothing exciting going on, here’s a dull update:
» Cut off all my hair. Sassy once more, hurrah! My stylist put a new product in my hair that smells like grapes. If you see me tonight, you should smell my head. Also, she gave me coupons so friends could come in and get their hair cut and get $25 of free Tigi/Bedhead products. Let me know if you are interested.
» I bought my ticket to DJ Shadow for Wednesday. Woo.
» Saw a tech creening of Spirited Away last night, and I enjoyed it. It’s a little cutesy in parts, but the visuals were excellent. Recommended.
» Seeing Igby Goes Down tonight.
» Of the television season premieres I watched last week, the following will earn a Tivo Season Pass: Buffy, Gilmore Girls, ER, Alias, Firefly, Good Morning Miami (hesitantly - I want this show to work because I’m a sucker for any show about a TV or radio station), Ed.
» I’m having trouble balancing my ever-increasing social calendar with my ever-increasing workload. It’s not a bad thing to have more work, I just need more time (and you’re probably thinking I shouldn’t watch all the aforementioned tv shows or movies, and, if so, stop it).

Julie, Jason, and I have acquired season passes to the Texas State Fair. So, if you’re going, I WANT TO GO WITH.
I’m thinking DJ Shadow next Wednesday night. Who is in?
Also, Double Meat Palace hat.

Everyone in the office I spend my afternoons at is under the strange delusion that it is 15 minutes further into the future than it really is. Every timepiece here is at least 15 minutes fast. I’ve been trying to remedy this. I’ve gone to time.gov every time I sit at a computer and I reset the clock on the system to the actual time. Unfortunately, somehow it keeps getting changed back, so I never know if the computer is telling me the real time or the future time.
This became a real issue the other day when someone told me to pull them out of a meeting at 4:45. I was faced with a dilemma: do I tell them when it is 4:45 according to every clock in here or do I tell them when it is really 4:45? If I told them the actual time, they could get upset with me when they look at a clock in the office that says 5:00. But if I told them the fake time, they’d get down to their car and realize it was only 4:30.
Luckily, the meeting ended early.

I just found another picture site, much like the Mirror Project, which will fulfill my desires to look at people. No, really, I find myself getting sucked into looking at picture after picture of random people. I don’t know them, I won’t ever know them but I’m still fascinated. Guess it’s kinda like reading blogs. Just faster.

Wow, today has been a hell of a day. It’s been one thing after another here. Everyone wants a piece of Erica it seems. I realize much of this has been being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Apparently, I’ve been in the wrong place a little too often.
Sigh, tomorrow will be a better day.
Tonight I have much to look forward to. I’m finally getting together with Abby again! (Remember, this is the super cool girl I met at Josh’s party?) She just took the GRE today so we’re going to celebrate. It’ll be good to get out and run around. Especially since it’s still a beautiful day outside. I just want to quit thinking about work and have some fun! Shoot, I might even call in sick tomorrow. THAT would make my week.

“The blog withdrawal syndrome is a cluster of symptoms observed in persons who stop blogging following continuous and heavy posting. Milder forms of the syndrome include tremulousness, seizures, and hallucinations, typically occurring within 6-48 hours after the last post. A more serious syndrome, delirium tremens (DTs), involves profound confusion, hallucinations, and severe autonomic nervous system overactivity, typically beginning between 48 and 96 hours after the last post. Estimates vary on the incidence of serious consequences of blogging withdrawal. Regardless of actual incidence, recent evidence suggests that it may be important to treat everyone who tries to quit blogging cold turkey.”
I’ll be under my desk in the fetal position if anyone’s looking for me. - Karen

Due to some issues on one of our servers, some of your favorites sites are down today. Hopefully they should be back tomorrow. Until then, you can write the authors at these alternate email addresses:
Erica Lucci (.com) - ericalucci at hotmail.com
Karen Lucci (tempestinateapot.org) - inateapot at hotmail.com
If you send mail to their domain, it shouldn’t bounce, they will just be slow in getting it.
Since they can’t blog on their own site, I’ve given the Lucci sisters the ability to post here. We’ll see what happens…
This server outage also knocked out Freshblogs, so your Freshblogs list will not be updated until tomorrow.
I am also unable to access my mail, so if you need me today, email leiascofield at hotmail.com.

I have absolutely no tolerance for computer questions today. Normally, I can answer printer questions, hardware questions, and even AOL questions with a smile, but today: no. I practically bit the head off of the engineer who wanted to know how to open a .pdf. When he told me there was a printer error on the network printer, I told him to go fix it himself (he just had to look in the book next to the printer where it tells you what two buttons to push to reset the error. That’s how I figured it out). Of course, today would be the day that I have to talk to someone in tech support about software. I want to go hide in a cave away from computer incompetence. Grrr.

[Original Post] It seems as if KKDL will be go with a “Rhythmic AC” format. Yesterday they started broadcasting official station liners and drops, promising to play “20,000 songs in a row”. I guess this means no commercials for a while!

Why is it that the painters working on our house have to hammer? I’m not following this logic. Especially when they start right outside my windows at the ungodly hour of 8:30. Don’t they know people sleep then?!
