Tunes The Hives - Two Timing Touch and Broken Bones

Hey, guess what? I added a links page to this site! Yessssss! It's actually a script I did a couple years ago in between art school projects. I'm awfully pleased that it's actually in use on a website now.

The best thing about my job at LuxuryRealEstate.com is the power trip I get sometimes. For instance, tonight I moved all our sites from one server to another server, with a little help from my friends at Rackspace. Tap tap tap in one SSH session, pow, 40 websites can't access their backend anymore. Tap tap tap, I've synched up the contents of that entire web server with another server in Virginia. Tappity tappity tap, IPs are rerouted and all of a sudden an entirely different computer is running 100+ real estate websites (and one snowboarding one). Tap tap, emails are synched up and everything's back online.

I think tomorrow I'm going to buy The Hives' album - they sound really fun.

So today and yesterday I watched the first 6 episodes of the British comedy 'The Office'. It is British comedy at its best... 10 minutes of drab, human interaction, and then blam, something completely hilarious. Love it!

What else - I'm a little under pressure since I've bitten off a little more than I probably should have in my freelance biz, and I think it's going to lead to an at-home weekend, although I'm going kayaking Sunday with James and that Andrea friend. That should be fun, since I've never been kayaking before. The rental place's website says that there is no 'car topping' allowed. I assume they mean you can't put the kayak on top of your car and drive away. Makes sense to me.

I miss circus class (doesn't start up again for another week) and am happy about my new t-shirt.

I made a comment earlier, and it's gone :-(

Mike I have a problem with the Paypal thing. It isn't working. I left a message on your phone. Drop me a mail.

Ps. The Office is great, though very sublime, sometimes depressing. I have met people like that in the UK! Yes.

Catch you late... [18 more to go]

From the kayaking website --> "We have connections in Baja Mexico!"

Am I the only one that finds that statement a little curious? I envision two men in a kayak furiously trying to outrun a coast guard cutter :)

Random suggested tune --> Graveworm's cover of REM's "Loosing My Religion"
