During my bored-as-hell surfing, I stumbled across an interesting(?) fact: I share a birthday (January 12th) with my two favorite radio personalities: Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern. The entire list of movie stars who share my birthday is pretty interesting. Quite a few porn stars. Yeah, I'm that bored. I keep complaining about this, but still haven't started reading anything that I've said I would read this summer. Oh well.
*Geek Alert*
I got the (my?) laptop working today. The harddrive is shot, but I booted a from a live CD that had drivers for the wireless card. So I plugged in my wireless router, and voila! A working laptop! I'm using screen, ncxmms, and centericq to run my desktop remotely. Yeah, it's nerdy, but a good type of nerdy. Once I replace the laptop's harddrive I may just set the desktop up to run without X and just be a http/smb/ftp/ssh server. With the WAP, i could run everything from anywhere in my room. Hmmm...
I think that writing a ffsearch plugin for drupal may be the way to go. I'd have to use php instead of perl, but if I do it right it could be usable by a much wider audience than just... well, me. While a minor thing in itself, I want to turn this into the launching point for my larger involvement in open source and so on. I want to give back to the community and so on. I need to sharpen my coding skills, but I think it could be done. If I just get off my ass and do it.
*End Geek Stuff*
Money is burning a hole in my pocket. I really want to go see a movie. Both Troy and Shrek 2 have been recommended to me by a various and sundry assortment of friends, acquaintances, and passers-by. I think I'd rather spend my money on Troy, but Shrek 2 has been lauded by such a diverse (VERY diverse) group of people that I can't help but think that maybe it's the way to go. Suggestions are welcome.
Really, I just want to get people to comment. Mainly because I'm curious. Actually, let's conduct a small experiment (for my benefit more than anyone else's). If you read this, leave comment. I don't care if it's anonymous or not, or if it says anything of any value at all, I just want plain numbers. Or if you don't even want to leave a comment, send me an IM (aim: expfclucas) letting me know that you read my blog. I want to see if I could make any money from advertising. (Just kidding.)
Anyway, I'm done with this post. I was done with it a few minutes ago, but I let it live to its last agonizing gasp, not having the courage to put it out of its misery. Oh well.

When all is said and done,
There is only on
word for it all:
Sturreptitious.
And I'm pretty sure that's not even a word.
yo
Shrek 2, much better. Especially for those Hillsdale students who might rip it apart... but Shrek is just a better spend of money.
And geek stuff is cool.
hi carl, its caity!
okay, don't spend money on seeing troy. its not very good. exceptionally cheesy if you ask me. i laughed through a good fourth of the movie. especially the sex scenes. they were literally taken out of a bad romance novel. anyways, shrek 2 will make you laugh a whole helluva lot, and if you're dying to see troy, you 'n me can rent it when i get back to school and we can laugh over the silly parts k? for now, go see shrek :D
