What's your favorite website?

I was kind of thinking I would like to do something fun. Like a question of the day. Because, let's face it, I am hooked on blogging. How come no one ever told me how fun this is? I love blogger! I feel, I can't even believe I am using this term, techno-savvy.

Okay, I added a guest book because I know there are people visiting who aren't blogger members and I'd like them to have the opportunity to comment. Feel free to sign, I would love it. I live for feedback. "High maintenance?" she said, with a frown. "No. Just needy." I also love checking out other sites so please, leave me your url and I'll be happy to visit. One of the best features of blogger is being able to see the recently updated blogs. I am thinking about adding a guest map, which, yes, I know is silly because I don't think I'll have that many visitors but I just want to try all of this new stuff!

So the question of the day is What is your favorite web site (besides your own)? The one that you go to check out weekly, hoping something new has been added.

Mine is Despair.com. You know those posters businesses will put up to motivate their workers? Well, this is the sarcastic version. My favorites are Motivation and Apathy. My boss has threatened to fire me if I ever bring one to work. I can kind of understand his point when you think about the fact that I work in a phone center.

Beth, you may or may not like the limitations one. I'm pretty sure I've told you about it but hey, it could be a great birthday present for you, right? I am going to die.

I'm Bored

Keem is asleep, Jeff is cleaning his car, Kari is at least online so I have someone to talk to...I know I shouldn't rely on other people to amuse me but it's so darn fun.

Oh, I found someone that did transcripts of Joan of Arcadia. I got halfway through the pilot episode and then my brain exploded because this person doesn't understand basic punctuation. The Joans and Wills and Kevins were bad enough but then when you're dealing with Ive and youre and youll...I couldn't take it anymore. Plus, if you haven't seen the earlier episodes, like I haven't, it would really help to know what manifestation of God Joan is talking to at the time.

Oh well, I suppose I'll wait for the DVD's. Then I'll make my own dang transcripts!

Well, I think I'll amuse myself by taking internet tests...maybe I'm secretly a genius.

Update - My IQ is apparently 127 points and I am an Insightful Linguist, similar to Charles Dickens. Wow. This might be because I was able to ace all of the word questions but had the worst time following the logic ones. If you're interested in taking the test yourself, it's on Tickle. It was fun. Although now my brain hurts from trying to think logically.

What does a 37 year old, terminally single female do for fun these days?

Here's my latest obsession. I love CSI: Crime Scene Investigation but didn't start watching it until this year. So, trying to figure out what is going on between the incredibly hot Grissom and Sara, I started surfing the web for transcripts. I found this site and have been reading one to two transcripts a day. I don't know what I'm going to do when I finish. I'm almost done with Season 3.

Soon, soon, I will be able to purchase the DVD sets and see my beloved Grissom and Warrick in action.

Another good site is Buffyworld.com because you can find the transcripts from both Buffy and Angel. I love Joss Whedon and can't wait to see what he comes up with next.

After CSI:, I suppose I'll start looking for Joan of Arcadia transcripts. I caught it in reruns the last two weeks and am now hooked. Anyone know where there might be a site for transcripts? I'd love to know.

Cell Phone Issues?

So I have this viewpoint that I don't use a cell phone enough to justify actually having a cell phone. The cheapest plan I've been able to find was one for $20 and you got 200 minutes. Well, if you're me and don't drive and are usually with one of the people you want to talk to, what's the point in that? I tried a prepaid phone and was getting ripped off. You buy the card for $25 and you get so many minutes for the month. If you don't use all of the minutes at the end of the month, you lose them. Or you can buy a card for $50 and don't have to worry about your minutes expiring for two months...but, if you're me, you're never going to use all the time up and really, you're just paying a company to talk to people maybe 10 or 15 minutes a month. It's completely a waste of money.

I had seen commercials for Virgin Mobile and decided to check out their website and they are surprisingly great! As long as you spend $20 every 3 months, your minutes remain open. You can download ringtones and celebrity voicemails...yes, the real reason I bought this phone is because if you call me and I don't answer, Adam West answers my phone (Have I mentioned that I love Adam West? That he's the only Batman as far as I'm concerned? That I shiver whenever I hear his voice...you probably didn't want to know that. Note to my friends, photo 14 or 30 would be the perfect gift for my birthday...yes, I know it's not until March.) The website will outline all of the rules and there's no hidden cost, everything is outlined completely. It is great for people who don't talk a lot and really only want a phone so they don't have to search for a payphone all the time.

Who's J Lo married to now?

This is hilarious! I clicked 3 times and she married the Milwaukee Brewers, Urkel and Jerry Springer in the space of a minute.

With Britney and her quickie divorce and J Lo and her 3rd marriage, kind of makes you wonder why Bush isn't pushing an amendment to ban celebrity marriages, doesn't it? Oh, but wait, at least J Lo and Britney aren't gay. They're setting such a good example for our youth, huh? Yes, people, that is sarcasm.

I have friends who are gay. I want them to have as much of a chance of getting married as I do. I want people to be able to accept other people for who they are, not who we want them to be. I was brought up to believe that everyone was created equally and had the same rights as everyone else. I read an editor to the letter lately that pretty much sums it all up. Make it actually be "Until Death Do Us Part." Let everyone have the opportunity to marry whomever they want but they can't rush into anything. If you want to defend marriage, make divorce illegal.

Okay, Keem is done cooking. Climbing off soapbox. Convincing Keem to wash soapbox. Putting soapbox away. Going to eat.

Meet Mil Millington

Here is a link that you might enjoy, well, if you're my Mom or anyone like my Mom, probably not. The owner of the webpage is named Mil Millington and he is a genius. I have read both of his books and am eagerly waiting for the 3rd. I'm trying to get him a following here in America because, as he puts it, his American publisher is probably not going to bring him here. Once the public starts clamoring for him, I'll deal with other problems, like the fact that he doesn't fly.

If you like the website, you will love his books. The man is hilarious. They are called Things My Girlfriend and I Have Fought About and A Certain Chemistry. A Certain Chemistry is out in paperback here in the US but, I, dedicated fan that I am, convinced my roommate to buy it for my birthday from Amazon.co.uk. Fortunately, at that time, he didn't know the shocking difference between the US dollar and the British Pound.

Mil isn't for everyone but there are three of us in Minnesota who think he's brilliant.

How much are you worth?

Found an interesting website today. Apparently I am worth exactly: $1,354,040.00. (DM, added on 5/28 - okay, so this is probably wrong. Although I like to think I am fairly intelligent, apparently the 240 I entered for my IQ is only, oh, 100 points too much. Oops. I'll have to retake it.)

Check it out.

They ask you some questions about how old you are, how much education, etc. I thought it was fun.

Going to Fridleykins (Perkins) with Beth, Keem and Matt tonight. That's always fun. We like to listen to people sitting at other booths - you would be amazed at some of the crazy stuff people say, especially if they've been drinking.

Oh, well, got to run. Maybe I will have a "Weird things people say" post tomorrow. Ciao!

Update - there weren't a lot of people at Fridleykins last night. We had a great time playing Sheepshead.

Weird things people say -

DM (having strange fascination with patting Matt's shaved head) "I like your scalp. May I draw on it?"

Matt "No! That's the only part of my body I don't let my kids draw on."

And before you freak out, there are other parts the kids aren't allowed to draw on. It was just the first thing he said. We were very amused.
