Well it seems that by taking all of the medicine I was told to, and being a quasi hobbit for a while, I am finally well for the most part. I still can’t hear fully, but the cough and runny nose are gone. I am not going to lie, I hate being sick, and am glad that this seems to be gone. I ended up having to use 3 days of PTO because of it, and I hate using PTO when I am not having a good time. Add to that, having to miss Chattacon and this whole experience has been very unpleasant.
In other new, I just used probably half a pens worth of ink signing all of my loan paperwork. My closing date is set for March 18th, so the big help Derek move extravaganza will be March 28-29. I am planning on making many trips with small stuff before then, but that will be the weekend for the big furniture etc. Please add this to your calendars. I know that I have helped most everyone I know in Nashville move at least once, so now is the time to return the favor.
LOST is simply LOST. That is about all that I have to say about that.
I am trying to learn some XML scripting, and I have to say it is one of the most boring topics to read ever. If anyone has any suggestions of learning resources, please pass them along.

After finishing up Dexter, I needed something to watch, so I started watching Leverage. I had heard Stephen from granades.com and of Whatthecast mention this on one of the podcast episodes, and I have to agree with his view that this is a great show. There is just something about con artists who con other con artists. It is very Dexteresque in that the main character only targets like minded targets. I am four episodes in so far, and I can’t believe how quickly the hour passes. I have the other 4 episodes downloaded, and hope to get them finished soon.
Last night was the long awaited 2 hour LOST premiere. Once again, there were many IMs, texts and tweets to people that mainly consisted of the letters W, T and F. I am interested to see where the the show is headed and will eagerly look forward to each Wednesday night for the foreseeable future.
About a year ago, my buddy told me about the program called Connect360. This “tricks” the xbox into thinking that a mac is a pc which allows for content to be streamed to the xbox. The other day, I finally took the time to update my software, and try it out for videos on my xbox, since the xbox can now handle divx movies. Needless to say, I am in love. This is what saved me over this week while I was under a pile of blankets on the couch. Being able to watch downloaded programs on my 56″ tv vs my 15″ laptop was a blessing. If you have a mac and a 360, then check out this software. it was well worth the 20 bucks.
I had another friend call me this afternoon offering me a pass to go and see the new Underworld screener tonight. I am excited. Granted it isn’t Kate Beckinsale, but the main actress did a good job in Doomsday, so I am hopeful. I will post my thoughts on it either later on tonight, or tomorrow.

Well I am back at work today. I woke up feeling ok, but as the day has progressed, my cough is starting to return. I still have a few days of taking these meds left, so hopefully they will continue to rid me of the plague. I am no longer taking tomorrow off as I had scheduled back in November. I don’t want to burn another day, and normally Fridays are pretty slow.
Now that I am not going to Chattacon, I have come to the odd realization, that I have no plans for the weekend whatsoever. There is a sale at the HD dealer, so I might go see if there is anything that I can snag at a good deal, but other than that, I will probably spend it at home, fighting off the remains of the funk. There is a HOG event on Saturday night at a restaurant downtown, and as fun as it would be, I hate having to park downtown, especially on a weekend, so I might just have to sit this one out.

With LJ recently laying off some of their staff, I, like many others, realized that I should probably back up my LJ, while at the same time looked for other options of keeping up these ramblings in the future. I decided that it was time to use my domain for more than my photo gallery and setup wordpress on it. I found a nice little tool that will crosspost to LJ as well, so that way I can still post to LJ as well.
I still have quite a bit to do to make the blog site have a look that I like, but that will come with time. I need to revamp my main domain site as well.
