I was thinking that I might write a really good Martin Guerre fan fiction, in which Bertrande has to marry Guillaume, and it turns out he's impotent. Then, I remembered I'm too lazy to actually do that.

My Clearly Canadian bottle is too pretty to throw away. Maybe I could use it as a vase sometime...
[10:58:55 PM | §]

It's been raining/sleeting/snowing almost continuously since 9:00 AM Sunday morning. It's starting to flood in some areas. Good thing we got our roof repaired...
[4:41:18 AM | §]

I've put up a few pictures here. Nothing too thrilling - mostly Cat and Chicken.
[2:20:17 AM | §]

January 29, 2001

"The Denver Nuggets: America's Team"

I like it!
[10:42:37 PM | §]

I have added a short, poorly written, disjointed entry. What else is new? (Nothing, really.)
[6:54:34 AM | §]

I've actually accomplished some things tonight. It's a nice feeling.
[5:38:55 AM | §]

I've completely forgotten what I was going to say, but Blogger is working again! Yay.
[4:34:59 AM | §]

January 28, 2001

I think I just wasted an entire night. (More so than usual.)

Brr.
[5:32:42 AM | §]

It's The Prongs!
[12:32:57 AM | §]

I'm a dork, and very cold, at that.
[12:25:29 AM | §]

January 27, 2001

Today, I got hits for searches on "girls vacuuming pics sex", "Fake Pics Chelsea Clinton Nude", "images of pig", and "british qvc girls nude". Maybe I should join the Disturbing Search Requests blog.
[4:36:37 AM | §]

What I've done since getting out of bed:

1. Moved pictures from the disk to the computer, and
2. helped Michael find assorted bits of sports footage/highlights we've taped, and combined them on one tape.

I'm tired, now.
[4:14:48 AM | §]

January 26, 2001

Damn! Why did I have to get sucked into surfing jumptheshark.com right as I was about log off? Curse you, AOL.
[5:56:52 AM | §]

Freezing rain and snow have started falling. Damn. Now I won't be able to get out of the house today.

I should go to bed.
[5:38:51 AM | §]

Cat and Chicken is thrilled, because I turned on the local weather channel and she can stalk the moving radar picture.
[5:09:24 AM | §]

It was very exciting to see the Blues and Illilikepie win their games today. It was really annoying having the games on opposite each other, though, especially after having nothing to watch all week.
[3:47:20 AM | §]

January 25, 2001

I'm still upset that ESPN ran out of time on NHL Tonight and didn't air that "Dining Out With Tyson" segment. They damn well better reschedule!
[2:46:04 AM | §]

I have uploaded yet another half-assed update to Ask a Pirate. Rejoice!
[2:00:27 AM | §]

January 24, 2001

I've taken an average of 3 pictures per day since I got my camera. That's not bad, but it's not great.
[5:40:12 AM | §]

I spent a good deal of time catching up with the TV tonight. Staring at the TV screen was a nice change from staring at the computer screen.
[5:12:09 AM | §]

January 23, 2001

I have added a long-ish entry. There should be an update to Ask a Pirate soon, once I do some coding and whatnot, and I'll probably dump some random photographs at freespeech.org/skippy in the next few days. Whee.
[5:23:07 AM | §]

I badly want Vanilla Ice's "WORD TO YOUR MOTHER" jacket.
[2:01:41 AM | §]

January 22, 2001

Whoa... A lot of failure reports from yesterday, most of them for images that have been moved.
[4:21:50 AM | §]

I was really hoping to get something done with the site tonight, but instead I ended up working on that series of pictures with Porkins. I'm getting awfully tired, so I doubt there will be much of an update. Maybe an entry, if I can finish it without nodding off.
[3:30:05 AM | §]

January 21, 2001

Wow! Buying tickets to Les Mis was so annoying, I almost don't even care to go anymore! (Fortunately, I was sufficiently frustrated that it didn't bother me much to annoy the woman on the phone.) And I ended with seats in rows J and K instead of F. I'm over it, though.

I'll elaborate on that (and other things!) when I'm feeling less physically ill for lack of sleep.
[10:50:15 AM | §]

January 20, 2001

Yeah... You try getting something done with my family around.
[4:59:25 AM | §]

January 19, 2001

I have added an entry. There are other updates coming, if I can peel myself away from making bad movies long enough to finish updates.
[5:30:21 AM | §]

January 18, 2001

Yay! I actually managed to get a semi-decent product out of this "Simpsons Cartoon Studio" program! It's stupid, but it flows pretty well, and is mildly funny. Much better than that first thing I made with Apu cleaning a chalkboard while Burns flew overhead.
[11:07:07 PM | §]

Well, if Andy Benes and Fredbird will be there....
[5:27:26 PM | §]

Wow... What did I do all night? The time had to go somewhere.
[4:55:45 AM | §]

You know what doesn't seem like it really happened? The game between Illinois and Northwestern.
[2:03:57 AM | §]

Stupid Yahoo! Mail, all not working... I should really get an account elsewhere, huh?
[12:12:31 AM | §]

January 17, 2001

I hope that the Illilikepie can beat Northwestern - they're pretty tough.
[5:24:15 AM | §]

I have downloaded Netscape 6.0. I like it, so far.
[3:59:22 AM | §]

I was way too excited when I saw that The Onion had been updated.
[1:38:30 AM | §]

I have uploaded an entry, from yesterday.
[12:31:11 AM | §]

January 16, 2001

Sometimes, I like to bid $500,000,000 on things at Ebay, just to see what the reserve is. But not really.
[4:42:24 AM | §]

Wow, I'm pretty sure it's the first "Wayne's World"! (I don't think I've ever seen this SNL.)
[2:22:31 AM | §]

I would have named that genetically altered monkey: "Monkey and Jellyfish and Chicken". Sure, it's a bit much, but that's one special monkey!
[1:34:06 AM | §]

I badly need to find something edible in this house that isn't a snack food.
[12:31:48 AM | §]

January 15, 2001

I also love how this house can go from uncomfortably cold to uncomfortably hot in 2 minutes after a tiny nudge to the thermostat. But I've said all that before....
[4:10:49 AM | §]

I love how Cat and Chicken comes racing out from the back of the house every time she hears Mom's door open, just in case Mom will let her in her room.
[3:38:04 AM | §]

January 14, 2001

I can still taste the Chevy's salsa. That stuff is powerful.
[5:38:34 AM | §]

I like pie!
[2:51:17 AM | §]

January 13, 2001

Why don't I get to write for SNL? At worst, with my influence, it would be equally as bad as it is now.
[11:08:32 PM | §]

We went to Chevy's tonight. Their salsa rules - I'm with Chris Pronger on that one.
[9:54:56 PM | §]

And I did remember to clean Rat.
[4:48:08 AM | §]

January 12, 2001

"Knock, knock!"
"Come in."

That was a funny joke.
[6:18:59 PM | §]

I need to find a way to sit that doesn't put my arms to sleep...
[5:13:04 AM | §]

Important Note to Self: Clean Rat
[4:04:32 AM | §]

I am forever getting other people's mail in my billybeer account. At least they think I'm named "Jim".
[12:47:37 AM | §]

January 11, 2001

That shampoo I used made my hair smell like candy necklaces.
[11:33:56 PM | §]

I got a hit today for the search "11:30 canadian music twins". That's different.
[4:14:07 AM | §]

January 10, 2001

I think that the Blues should use "aggressive foreshadowing" in this game (even if they really said "aggressive forechecking").
[9:49:14 PM | §]

Now that I think about it, I bet Javert didn't really use the word "chocotastic" in that Fox Family movie.
[4:41:48 AM | §]

I forgot how much I hated pop-ups until I tried to surf a site at angelfire. Do those things really need to pop up at you with every page you visit on the site?
[4:18:37 AM | §]

I'm very excited about possibly getting a TV that doesn't emit a high-pitched squeal after a few hours of use.
[3:29:51 AM | §]

January 9, 2001

I have added an entry.
[5:20:22 AM | §]

I've always wanted for my favorite Blues players to read me a bedtime story.... That's entertainment, folks.
[5:06:57 AM | §]

The ads for these "Girls Gone Wild" videos make it sound really exciting that they feature "real college girls", but I bet that no one would know or care if they decided to use imitation college girls (provided they were good imitations, of course).

Have I said this before? Hmmm...
[2:47:00 AM | §]

January 8, 2001

Hotmail is down today, for a change. And I just played a 188 minute, 17 second game of Alchemy. But not really, because I had to watch the Blues "shoot and lose!" (in overtime, so at least they got a point) and was playing between periods.
[10:02:02 PM | §]

*mumble* stupid New Jersey Giants, all making me have to root for the Vikings... */mumble*
[5:12:18 AM | §]

I have added a crappy entry and a crappy update to Ask a Pirate. Craptacular!
[4:34:11 AM | §]

January 7, 2001

Yay! All the sites that weren't working for me last night (blogger included, hence the lack of updates) are back up. I can do stuff now!
[10:41:49 PM | §]

January 6, 2001

Blah. I really am going to finish answering email, one of these days. Really! I would have earlier, but my mail wouldn't work. Now that it's back up, I'm too tired to mess with it. (It tends to work that way.)
[3:59:20 AM | §]

January 5, 2001

Tonight is exceptionally boring, not unlike this post.
[8:39:54 PM | §]

I put moisturizer on my hands somewhere in the area of five times a day, and they're still cracking open. I think I need to get a humidifier, and put some moisture in the dry, dry air. Or, I could wear lotion-filled gloves. Or both! Whatever works.
[4:30:22 AM | §]

January 4, 2001

You know, the Blues kind of suck without Pavol Demitra. They're not even beating the "Nashville Predarots" (as the on-line scoreboard likes to call the Predators).
[9:11:33 PM | §]

The paper carrier needs to throw the paper against the door less loudly. It startles me quite a lot.
[5:06:04 AM | §]

January 3, 2001

I, for one, think that Michael should sing "Genie In a Bottle" again and again during his behind-the-wheel training.
[10:05:02 PM | §]

I have added a very short entry.
[5:19:03 AM | §]

Why do I invariably find something really fun to do on-line this time of night, when I should be shutting down and feeding rodents and reading the paper and going to bed?
[4:55:03 AM | §]

January 2, 2001

Sometimes, in Sim world, Ricky Proehl (whose name I always want to misspell) skips work so he can hit on Chris Pronger's wife.
[9:17:04 PM | §]

I'm watching El Big Mac's 62nd homerun game on ESPN Classic. The replays are fantastic, in that you get only the sound!

According to my spam email, teen girls want me. I'm flattered, but not really into that sort thing, so I deleted it.
[5:18:24 AM | §]

An entry, written only so I could post an entry for 01/01/01.
[5:09:33 AM | §]

January 1, 2001

There. My blogger archives should be, if not pretty, at least readable. I should go try to answer several weeks worth of email, now.
[9:15:02 PM | §]

This guy on World News Now looks like he'd rather be shot than deliver news.
[3:38:18 AM | §]

Updates! Aside from the obvious, there is the last entry of 2000, a spectacularly half-assed update to Ask a Pirate, and some new images:

Illini football pirate
Illini basketball pirate

There are other little tweaks here and there, but nothing to phone home about. Also, I'm pretty sure I was in the bathroom when the new year started.
[12:35:43 AM | §]

And Happy New Year! I missed seeing the change from 11:59 PM to 12:00 AM for the second time in three years, but I don't particularly care.
