I know, I know. It's been days since I posted here and gave you a peek into my oh-so-boring life, but I have an excuse. Actually, now that I think about it, I don't have an excuse. As I told michael via instant messenger at some point this weekend, I just didn't feel like posting. So shoot me. (Although, in all truth I would prefer that you didn't).
I mentioned instant messenger up there, and it reminded me of a program I found this weekend called DeadAIM. It removes the ads from your instant messenger window. Just extract the file into the directory that you have aim installed to and change your bookmarks to point to deadaim.exe. It's so simple that just about anyone can do it. Which is to say that I did it, and I offer no guarantees about your success with it. Anyway, I found DeadAIM on betanews, which is a pretty cool site, so you should head on over there sometime.
Speaking of cool sites, I'd like to take this opportunity to point you to some of the sites linked up in the header of this page. The big groups of words up there? Those are links hand-picked by michael and myself for your enjoyment, so please click on them should, you feel so inclined. My selections are on the left and michael's are on the right. Should I find myself motivated to do so, I'll probably update my selections later this week with a few different sites. I'll give you a sneak peek though: q daily news. It's a cool site that I just found a few days ago. I'll also point you here, even though the site is linked from above. It's a pretty good blog, even if the proprietor doesn't post on the weekends (or tomorrow, but you should go there to find out why).
PBS is showing Gormenghast later tonight (at least here in EVV -- check your local listings to see when it plays in your area), and it is definitely worth watching. I saw it last year when it was on the BBC, and I was really impressed. The books on which the show is based are awesome to. Go to your local library and look for books by Mervyn Peake. Here's a US link that will tell you more about the show and the books. Hopefully it will offer you some slight variation on the British link I gave earlier in this paragraph.
Well, that's all for now I guess. Hopefully michael (or is it Reynard?) will provide you with some content later tonight. If not, you'll have to wait until tomorrow, I suppose.
Later.
