so there might be a chance I exhibit some OCD tendencies

March 24, 2012 I reached my all-time high visits to my website.  Which is cool.  It really is. 

The only trouble is it’s a number that ends in 9.  Nine?  Really? Not that I’m not appreciative of the views, because I am, it’s just if it’s going to be my all-time highest viewed day, I wish I would have gotten just one more to make it a lovely, whole number.  Ah, then I wouldn’t mind seeing that number every day telling me – this is as good as it’s going to get. 

Every day I watch my stats and hope for that number + one just so that my all-time highest achievable number looks…pretty.

(sigh) I’m not crazy.  I’m sure a lot of you would agree with me on this, right?  I hope none of the nines are offended.  You’re just not that cool.  Okay, maybe I’m a little crazy.

The (no longer) New Adventures of Superman

Thanks to the latest channel realigning, my tv now gets a station called HUB.  It appears to be another rerunistic network offering “classics” like the Wonder Years and Sliders.  Yep, you read that right, Sliders.  Don’t remember that one?  A little IMDb digging reminded me it had Jerry O’Connell in it (Rebecca Romijn’s hubby after John).  You do remember it?  Put the remote down and get off the couch once in awhile.

Siri’s distant cousin she doesn’t like to talk about

I’ve had my iPhone for awhile now.  I knew when I purchased it that it was a little too much phone for me.  But I decided to splurge so that I wouldn’t have to buy another phone for a few years.  That’s how I roll.

I showed it off to a friend shortly after I received it.  At this moment, I can’t remember which friend I had the following conversation with.

Facebook Games I Play

/ cksdays / Leave a comment

So, I was in a good mood last night.  I wanted to keep the good juice flowing and decided to play a little Facebook game.  My Facebook posts are kind of hit and miss since I only have 100 followers friends.  Sometimes I post games that look more like Solitaire.  But, last night I decided to try and play anyway.

I posted: I will buy a shake to the first person who can make me laugh out loud. Starting… NOW!

 Then I started placing wagers with myself which one of my bestest fb buddies, if any, would respond.  To my surprise, my bait worked and I had one rise to the challenge.

True, it’s more cute than funny.  However, Buttermilk bears a certain hyperactive resemblance to my nephew.  Still, I wasn’t going to be so easily swayed.  But after the second knock over I let out a snort.  Dangme.  That snuck up on me.  I blame it on the fact I was already in a good mood. 

 I considered not fessing up.  After all, how would anyone know?

 J-Girl wasn’t finished.  She sent me this next: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF9-sEbqDvU  Okay, this is just funny but I was determined not to laugh.  Then Marcel the Shell walked her dog. 

 I finally decided to do the honorable thing and confess I already laughed.  J-Girl said she had more lined up so I think I should have held out a little longer. 

 I also had another person post: Do you like blue?

 Was this another joke coming my way?  Such a simple question but I didn’t know how to respond.  So I asked, blue? The color blue? Yeah.  And I waited for the punch line.  I’m still waiting.  Perhaps she meant to ask, do you feel blue?  To which, I would have said, Nope.  Just feeling like laughing.  See, I like to laugh.

 Today I kept thinking of Marcel the Shell.  Before there was such an easy mass outlet known as Youtube, how did people express their creativity?  Unseen projects in the basement?  That gives it a different vibe, doesn’t it?  Youtube postings reach cult followings.  Secretive basement projects sometimes only reach unwilling, captive audiences.  Funny how much of a difference one little video-sharing website can make.

 I wonder what else J-Girl had to share?  Maybe I’ll have to play again tonight.

 

Windows XP

So,

I have two pressing matters.

One,

Felix the Ford is eating me alive.  Figures I would buy an SUV a right before the economy tanked.  I kind of have a track record with bad timing.  I bought my previous vehicle a month before 9/11 – right before all the interest rates dropped.  Go me!  This makes me kind of nervous to buy another vehicle…

Two,

Remember this kids?

My computer still operates (using the term loosely) with Windows XP.  Yes, XP, as if in invented right after the wheel and before sliced bread.  Besides running  r e a l   s l o w, it also does fun, creepy things like clicking on things I did not click on.  I’m surprised there’s not a poster with my ID hanging at the Facebook headquarters with the heading “PRO STALKER.”  I promise I’m not stalking you people!  My computer might be but I’m not.  It really wasn’t my intention to click on the page of the girl who is popping up on my nephew’s wall – a lot.  And when did I like Target?  That’s odd, I don’t remember even visiting its page let alone liking it.  It’s also a chore just to post blogs as the elves in my computer like to hide things from me.  Whenever I submit a post early, it takes five minutes and a whole lot of creative clicking for the schedule to pop up.   Plus, whenever I click on an email to read, it likes to take a step backward to the previous screen.  I guess it just wants me to be sure about my choices. 

Hmm, which matter should I take care of first?
