Another big tired day. I went to bed too late again (wow... big surprise eh). It was a bit cooler last night and while I'm still walking outside at 8:00 to find it already hot and muggy... it's a bunch better than it was a few days ago. :) :D
That Lego Star Wars game... doesn't play on the kid computer... unless I can swap the video card... but I'm loath to spend another cent on their computer... er... well, I guess I will end having to... but for a game? grrrr... and it (the Lego Game) is only out for Gameboy Advanced, XBox and PS2... but not on GameCube. (We have game cube). Soooo... the kids are playing it on mine or suzanne's computer for now. It's a super game for kids... geez... what a great idea!! :)

/// computer question: The dell dimension came with XP Home. I re-partitioned the drive and re-formated and installed XP Pro. Now when it boots up it offers "XP PRO" and "XP HOME" as boot options. The XP HOME option fails... (of course). How do I get rid of the option on the boot up menu?
// BB6... Dudes... remember that old psych research story about having volunteers deliver electric shocks to the other volunteers from behind a one way mirror and how the real trick was that the person getting shocked was faking and the real test was how much pain the first person would actually elect to give the other? They should go down that kind of "head game" path on this stupid show... having the players sign vast releases that basically say BB can pretty much do anything to them except kill them... and then play a psych game on them... GAH! Anything but this same ol'crap-tastic stuff.. Actually... It would be fun if maybe one of the house-mats would actually use that Power Of Veto thing...
/ The radio talked about some lobby groups trying to get them to let business travelers to use Cell Phones on airplanes. I'm just wondering what happened to the whole "you're cell phone signal interrupts signals that are used in the operation of this aircraft" thing... and the images of people switching on their phones and air planes falling from the sky. :D
Ok, so the only really note worthy thing in the radio show was when they dramatized the sound of the Flight Attendant making the announcements that end with the admonishment to leave cellular telephones powered off. Then they ended there. Which is not how things actually are on an aircraft around here... because as soon as they finish that speech... they start it again, except this time they say it all in gibberish (thank you Sandra Bee) or what some people continue to call french. I really think they should rename French to "Gibberish". What do you think? Good idea? Think the powers that be will go for it? hahaha... fricking french.
Dude... live for a year in Ottawa and tell me how much you love french when it's over.
(but shhhhh... because we're Canadian and we're supposed to love french... it's like a law or something...)
k... time for more fun and exciting work... *sigh*
