Lunamania

Rejoice!!!

My misguided geekdom led me to attempt a late night upgrade to Movable Type v.3.2 There not a soul in this entire galaxy and beyond who can tell me WHY I would want to do this--either late at night or at any time of the day. The benefits fo an upgrade? Who the hell knows. But the weenie in me decided this would be a most interesting project to undertake while drinking some scotch and fighting sleep...despite explicit warnings on several websites to never attempt this dangerous task under such conditions. For those of you who really care--absolutely avoid any MT manuals. They are quite possibly the most poorly written tech manuals ever. Instead, turn to Learning Movable Type Well, there's my appreciative shout out to the blog-nerds.

I know no one sincerely missed my blatherings this last week, but there are so many things to blather about while I wait for the Bush cronies to be indicted.

First, Sheryl Swoopes a 3 time MVP player of the WNBA and Olympic gold medalist asserts that she likes girls. Excellent--despite the Olivia cruise shirt. And just adds more mystery as to why the Bay Area lacks a WNBA team...Then, George Takei, finally comes out. OK, so maybe Sulu of Star Trek is not as glamorous as the first woman to have a Nike sneaker named after her. Who's next? Queen Latifah? Mike Piazza? Condoleeza Rice?

Second, a semi-obsessive informal poll of friends reveals that kimchi is the answer to Bird Flu. Mijoung informs me that kimchi is what shielded the entire nation of Korea from SARS. Well, to be accurate, she said that it was something in the fermentation process that boosts our immune system. My co-worker hypothesizes that eating a bottle of kimchi will also ward off mosquitos. I believe kimchi can also repair broken levees and conjure chicken wings on demand.

Finally, I am declaring the following dates official Lunamania holidays. Nov. 18th--opening night of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Nov.13th--unveiling of H&M in San Francisco. Well, in order to take advantage of optimal shopping hours and to accomodate work schedules, this can be a floating holiday to be taken any day of that week. And yes, I am aware that in this entry alone there are at least 2 somewhat positive references about evil sweatshop empires...but Swoopes is so cool and the H&M mens department is so much Euro fun.

p.s. I'm testing a new spam filter and will allow comments to be posted unapproved. I'll be taking bets on who gets to me first--free toner cartridges or online poker ads.
