long time
i had to laugh / cry / feel embarrased when i happened to click on a wrong link on my website and was taken to a page that claimed it was still under constuction. yuck! if only i hadn’t gotten a job i would have finished designing my website. I may still do it, but right now i have no ideas about how to finish it or what to do. I still have hopes of bringing my projects page back online, once i get around to starting some of those projects i wanted to work on.
I am excited for tomorrow. excited may not be the correct term, but i am looking forward to it. not only is it the first day of summer(!) but it also heralds some fresh new projects for me at work. tomrrow i have some meetings planned for a new development project we are starting at work, which is one of the most fun parts to development. the child-like fun in planning and dreaming what the product could be. all the fun ways to make it be that way. its like being in a candy store!
I spent more time watching tv this evening than i wanted to. they seem to be re-running “House, MD” in the off season. i guess it got so popular this past year that fox figured they could milk it. well, even though i had seen the episodes, i sat through them, not feeling like getting up from the veg-0-couch. lazy is good in small doses.

illegal
The tv is telling me that supposedly some guy is trying to push legislation to make non-handsfree cellphone use during driving illegal. i actually think this is a brilliant idea. its hilliariously sad how they were interviewing people who say things like “some times i even text message when driving, which is probably worse….” HAH.
The real interesting thing going on right now is that i have AC in my house! i wussed out sunday night after a humid sleep the night before, and ran to walmart to get a cheap AC unit. and then today at work i got a call from my landlord asking if i wanted him to put in a unit, so now i have two! makes me wonder if i would have gotten two free ones if i didn’t buy my own. doubt it. but haveing a cool house is pretty cool. i actually wear clothes in the evening now! HAH.
ok, now to finish up some stuff and get another good nights sleep. today i was at work at 8 am sharp! i know crazy. and then i was on phone calls till 6pm so it was a decent work day. buh bye!

yogurt is odd to think about
So the other day at lunch i was sitting there stareing into the container of yogurt i was eating and i thought to myself, how on earth can i think this is good? i mean, if i take the time to think that ‘hey, a long time ago this used to be good milk. and then after a week or so it would get to a nasty state where i would never think of eating / drinking it. but then someone just decided that hey, if you wait a whole ‘nother month or so we will think it is good again?’
Yeah, this is what i do. so i decided to look into this ‘yogurt’ thing a little. My base knowledge about yogurt is that it is bacteria, blah blah, and that thats what gives it its great flavour. here’s some articles that are rather short yet interesting if you knew as little as me. this dannon page shows some of the common ingredients in yogurt, mainly applicable to dannon but i am sure the basics hold for most yogurts; Dannon.com
And then there is a short explanation of the process of making yogurt; VermontDairy.com so there it is, a little knowledge to round out your week!
Tomorrow is going to be a great day, watching non-stop episodes of “the office” with mel. w00t!
