Can I have my cake? Can I have you too? Would you follow me? Could I ask you to? Would the world between us break these ties we’ve worked so hard to realize? Can a postcard say what I see in your eyes?

Josh Rouse – Sunshine (so stuck in my head)
come on lady, take this bum and make him right. you’re my steady.. you’re the one that makes me feel…. sunshine.
they sparkle, bubble over, and in the morning all you’ve got is rain…
Random thought…
Background: vacuum cleaners are annoyingly loud as anything. I suppose it can’t be very helped because of the necessary motor and perhaps suction sound.
Useful invention: creation of a small-space-encompassing bubble that acts as a complete muffler of any sound within.
Much room for abuse: gun toters, .....and i had a few other scenarios of abuse of silence, but now i can’t think of others…. oh, right.. baby kidnappers.. oh, hey, rapists… bad people in general. not being able to hear cars sneak up on you..
well, anyway, i’d like to put one on every motorbike (motorbikers who choose to have a noisy engine/muffler for the sake of it are thoroughly obnoxious to me. i’m not fundamentally against motorcycles/motorcyclists, but I very much think they should be conscious of their (noise) pollution and do what they can to keep that clean. Same with cars.
Anyway, a Quiet bubble would be good. Especially if oxygen can still flow through.. The idea would be to figure out what sound travels on and what stifles sound, and artificially create that….... i think it’s doable. i just don’t think ….it’s doable yet. shrug the end.
I’ve been using Firefox quite exclusively for the past monthish.
Before that I had always gravitated back to Opera, despite all of firefox’s fun extensions, etc.
Firefox was not as polished, resource capable/efficient (I typically open dozens and dozens of pages/tabs at a time, and actually would often memory leak and crash, whereas Opera was more stable for me. Firefox was also slowing up a lot and being very sluggish with loading webpages—but I recognized that this was more or less unique to my computer setup, and was not the norm for other users.
But I couldn’t figure out a way to get a BlinkList bookmarklet into Opera (current version 8.52), so I’ve been using Firefox (current verison 1.5.0.1) lately and have been quite happy.
But now I’m about to start doing web development again, and the key firefox shortcoming reemerges: Firefox does not have the capability to search within forms.For example, while I’m typing this up in my Textpattern admin panel, I can run a search for anything in this form that I’m typing in…because I’m working in Opera. And when I am searching for a piece of php code or a selector in my stylesheet (all in webforms), I can find what I’m looking for if I’m working in Opera. In firefox, you can search all over the page, BUT it won’t return anything that’s inside a form. I don’t understand why. I’ve looked for an extension or something that’s fixed this problem, but so far no luck. Does anyone out there have a solution that I’ve just completely missed?
I was upgrading my mother’s firefox and thunderbird, and trying to add useful extensions for her… My old list on here is wayyy outdated, so here comes a new one for future reference.

shower thoughts:
how come television shows are simply cancelled, rather than being improved by changing actors, directors, writers, styles, etc.? just because a show isn’t doing superbly, doesn’t mean the whole thing should be trashed.
particularly: how come tossed shows aren’t picked back up by other networks/producers, and refashioned for success? change the title of the show or change the show dates/times.. change the actors, add or remove actors, enroll the actors in bootcamp acting classes.. change the director or add a second chair or something…
and when shows are cancelled, why can’t the storyline for the never-to-be-seen-episodes be shared with those members of the tv-watching-public that have been led on by the show’s beginning and abandoned by the show’s ending.
it just doesn’t seem sensible to me to throw out a whole storyline/show concept, just because it doesn’t seem to be serving fully in its current exact capacity.
Firefly, Girls Club, Jack and Bobby, The Mountain, Dark Angel, Reunion, Birds of Prey…
some of these shows weren’t necessarily worth watching to begin with… some of them were potentially brilliant from the start… all of them would be worth properly recreating and resurrecting. change the show’s name, put in some real actors, change the show’s date/time to appeal to a different/wider audience…. i’ve already said all these suggestions above.
*shrug* okay well i’ve said my piece/peace. (I can never decide whether “piece” or “peace” makes for the nicer phrase.)
... That it’s “ultimately” trust rather than “ultimate trust”. They’re not the same thing at all.
i’m not sure there’s much i want to say right now.. though there’s enough going on..
all these tax documents coming through the mail kinda bug me.
i think it’s about time for my next meal.
so…. i’d really never thought about it before…. but when your tummy typically hurts, it’s not typically your tummy that’s hurting.
in the back of my head somewhere, i’ve always had a vague image of the human anatomy, and that the stomach is actually way up higher than we tend to refer to it.. and it’s actually our intestines that are all jumbled up around our waist. our stomach is actually closer to the bottom of our rib cage.
and for the first time that i can remember, it is my actual stomach that’s hurting—not my tummy. it’s weird… like a chest pain, but lower… like a back ache, but in front. it’s definitley not in my waist/bellybutton area, where most tummyaches are usually felt.
it’s not terribly painful.. i’m not sure what that deal is. i figure it will forgive me whatever trespassess i am guilty to it for, and be nice to me again sooner than later. that’s my assumption and hope. but the whole thing is strangely more intriguing than uncomfortable—though it is rather uncomfortable.
“be happy my little dumpling =)”
okay :)
