Turn to the right... er your left... my right. :)

Got a tonne done last night... (that's a canadian ton). Ripping out... redoing... trying to be anal about the mudding thing so I don't have any regrets when the paint goes up.

The Dr. Who Extravaganza continues... although the only torrents of Season 1, episode 10 + I can drag down have some wonky codec that makes it necessary to use this "video lan player" application to watch'em on your pc... which I don't want to do anyways. Sadly, though... the file is not readable by the dvd creator software... so I have to convert the wonky codec mpeg/avi to a dvd format using an external converter. I had winAVIconverter installed (found a code and everything) but ... it sucks.. fails to run without all kinds of hassles.

Sooooo my question is... What's a good format converter free download that I can try? I've tried a couple of google links... but I'm jonesing for advice.

It's cloudy, cold and snowy... Just like January should be. :)

~ oh, and waiting for a guy with something called a "hilti gun" (sp?) to show up and blast fasteners through some wood into the beams in the basement...

Did you read about what went down at the "hang 'em high" ex-Iraqi dictator club when they tried to carry out death sentences on those other two guys?
Dude... grizzly. Apparently 8 feet is a few too many to drop a Secret Police Killing Machine when you have a noose around his neck. I wonder if it made a popping sound when it came off?
FYI: Iran and Singapore hold the gold for the most so-called-lawful female hangings, worldwide, since '98.

Purrrrcy is a serious tummy kitty.
She loves to have her tummy rubbed... scratched and rubbed some more. :)
When you look at all like your thinking of bending down to scratch her... there is an audible *thump* as she falls over on her side to flip onto her back and begin chanting "rub ma belli... rub ma belli"... (well, ok, she's saying it cat language, but I can translate!

When does Heroes kick in again?

:O)
