It’s a bit over 24 hours now until the murderingmove. I don’t think there’s anything much more I can say about how excited and happy I am. I’ll keep you updated on all the rest, but that will come after the weekend…

The Hermit Thing Is Almost Over
At this point, I’d start counting down how many hours of hermitdom I have left, but I’m not sure what time Mark is showing up with the U-Haul on Saturday, so I can’t do that yet…
Remind me of this if I complain about moving heavy objects this weekend: things could be much worse. I could be stuck in this little corner of hell instead. On the upside, though, San Francisco should be almost tolerable all weekend, since so many of the most annoying people will be in the desert through Monday…
It’s been a good week for movies on The Mystery Channel and TCM, with “Mildred Pierce” and “Double Indemnity” still to come before sundown tomorrow. The VCR is starting to overheat…
La Vida Hound Dog
OK, this is just fucking creepy: an Elvis impersonator sings everything from “La Vida Loca” to “Achy Breaky Heart” to “Candle in the Wind”. I’d have thought it was a “Saturday Night Live” parody had I not seen a commercial for it tonight…
Worse still, I almost have this very disturbing desire to own it…
Breakthrough
I had a breakthrough tonight in the bedroom. No, not THAT kind. I put many more things into the Goodwill pile, and then I moved the bed. I looked at the remaining space and suddenly, I realized that maybe everything WAS going to fit after all…
Now if I could just have a breakthrough in the front room…
Yes, my brain has turned to mush this week. Just ignore me and I’ll go away…
Stupid Netscape
If I had twenty bucks for every hour of my life I’ve lost making pointless and annoying website adjustments for those seven or eight people on the planet who still use Netscape 4.x, I’d be a wealthy man indeed…
I no longer even bother if it’s an aesthetic issue; I figure Netscape users are used to everything looking like shit. But when a simple stylesheet causes a browser to crash every time it loads a page, modifications must be made, I suppose…
All the same, I beg you, please upgrade. Please. Really. Netscape 4.x is over. It has been over for several years now, and it wasn’t all that good even before that. Why is this damned browser so persistant, even if it is only among three per cent of users?
