Happy Birthday to my friends over at MacSlash! They've been bringing us the best in Mac news and discussion for three years, and have grown stupendously!

Congrats, Tom, Ben, Neil and crew!

Finding DVD copies of Castle in the Sky (a.k.a. Laputa) and Spirited Away while on a completely unrelated mission... *plus* getting four bucks off for buying both. Didn't hafta twist my arm!

The hardest part is resisting watching them now, cos Kev has a load of work to do tonight. Whatever shall I do?

Peet's (of course) iced mocha with hazelnut.

Lemme tell ya, it was sorely needed on this morning's commute. I picked one up on the way in. *slurp* yummm :d

So how's your day-before-Friday goin'? I know I am lookin' forward to a relazing weekend... that's all that is keeping me going, besides the mocha. ;) Hope all ya'lls have a Happy Thursday!

Not to fear! I've tried the Trader Joe's "Joe Joes" cookies, and they are just as good, if not, better than those bad bad Oreos. Delightfully crispy wafers, and really good chocolate cream filling... *drool*

No, this isn't an advert, you silly person.

But, oh my... these are really good. *munch munch*

Three day weeknds offer the following advantages:

  • two nights for staying up as late as we want, resulting in maximum relaxation
  • two mornings to catch up on sleep lost, resulting in better moods
  • A full day not sandwiched by the stresses of the previous and following weekdays
  • More of a chance to get your butts outside

I'm sure there are more (and better reasons), but heck, who can argue with a three day weekend?

Who's with me?

I never do that. I even had to exit the highway to take a short nap and grab a coffee to get my mojo back.

Hmm... d'ya think I'm tired out this week?

I never learn... it's almost midnight and I'm still awake, futzing with some sites.

Needless to say, I was floored when I heard the news. Joe was the last person I would suspect that would be hit with such an ailment. But he's a fighter, and he's gonna kick this thing in the ass.

Support the Fight!

I am adding a little gray ribbon to my site (as well as sporting a real one on my lapel), courtesy of Support the Fight, to encourage awareness of Joe's and many others' illness. There are other ribbons to represent other types, if someone close to you is fighting a different kind of cancer.

Support the fight. Choose Hope.
