Seeing if this application which I installed works with new posts here.

Not sure, if anyone is having problems, but all the sites keep getting Problem Loading Page.  I cleared my cache, and can view other sites.  So is anyone else having problems.  I plan to reset my modem, before I leave for a few hours.

So I'm a little overweight.  I just had enough of my family reminding me about it.  Need to find a job where I'm happy. 

I hate myself!

So this time on Monday night the Oscars will have been announced, but I'm hoping to ignore all coverage on them so I can watch delayed broadcast of them on Monday, after probably seeing one of the movies.  Out of the 5 Best Picture nominations, I've only seen No Country For Old Men (twice now), but want to see three of the four other nominations (have zero interest in seeing Atonement).  Sadly I'm not sure when There will be Blood starts here, but might catch either NCFOM or Juno before the Oscars.  I'm so hoping that the Coen Brothers' film takes the major away ... as I adore their latest film. 

Stupid Gmail won't load for me ... and I need to look at for some documents ... maybe I'll try later. 

Around New Year's Eve, I headed down to Victoria for Sarah's wedding.  When there were here, Sarah (my sister), was to give me a reading to do, instead of doing a bible reading, which happens at many wedings.  So when I got there, I was given this short passage to read, which she found on the internet.

A Tapestry Of Love

Just as two very differnt threads woven in opposite directions can form a beautiful tapestry, so can your lives merge together to form a beautiful marriage.

To make your marriage work will take love.
Love should be the core of your marriage;
love is the reason you are here.
But it will also take trust - to know in your hearts
you want the best for each other.
It will take dedication - to stay open to one another;
to learn and to grow together even when this is not so easy to do.

It will take faith - to always be willing to go forward to tomorrow, never really knowing what tomorrow will bring.

And it will take commitment - to hold true to a journey you both now will share together.

I remember when I did, it  didn't stuff any of it, but only practiced a few times.  The whole day was wonderful, and my sister and my new brother in law are on honeymoon in Mexico.  It was hard not to cry, while reading it.  Even now, brings many happy thoughts back to a time when I was at Daylesford, where the wedding was at.

As some people may know there is a little film coming out next year based on this novel, which is being made by the Coens Brothers.  So tonight, I decided to read for a hour or so.  And wow .... I want to read more of it, but I'm feeling tired.  So far read around 80 pages, and the dialogue is amazing.  Planning on reading more later tomorrow night, as I'm really enjoying at the moment.

So it's been a year, since my grandmother died.  I am rather sad now, but I'm greatful for the time I had with.  But naturally I still miss her, as does the rest of my family. 

That is all, as I just write anything else, as I'll start crying, as I remember how I felt around this time last year (as I'd only know for a hour or two)

Not sure why I had this dream last night, where somehow I went back 100 years, and my family didn't know happened to me.  All the interesting things I would miss from now, but also seeing some historical events, and trying to stay out of the limelight and not change history along the way.  It made me think about Blink, and I went to you tube and found the audio commentary for it, and other Doctor Who episodes.  Just click on the profile for the other episodes.

Blink - 1 - 2 -  3 - 4 - 5

Today, it seems I've been having some vision problems with my PC.  I currently have my monitor set at 1152 by 864, with small fonts.  But it seems rather hard to see.  I've tried changing the fonts to larger fonts, but that hasn't helped either.  Maybe it might be time for another pair of glasses, as I have some sore eyes over the past week, looking at the laptop for the former job.  But it's only the PC, where I have problems.  Maybe I should try another monitor. 

Not happy ... or maybe it's a sign that I'm getting old.  :(

With the new season of Heroes due to start on Monday night in north America, what are the odds that someone will ask this question.  I think it will happen before the show actually starts.  :lol:

Last week, I went allow to this training day for this marketing officer job, to tell people how they can help the environment and save themselves some money on their energy bills.  I know I'm above it, but it's work, and after so long of not working, anything is better than nothing.  Simply all I'm doing is telling people how they can get free CFL lightglobes, as normal lightglobes are going to be off the market in a few years, and they have an opportunity to get some free ones installed, and they don't have to do a thing.  It is an amazing offer.  Only people in NSW can get it at the moment, but I do know that the company will be doing it in other states later, so I might stick with it, as it's easy money.

Now to enjoy dinner and Idol.

Interesting both games tonight, went the way I thought they would, with Manly beating the rabbits, and the Cowboys just beating the bulldogs.  Tomorrow, in the grand final replay the Storm should beat the Broncos, who still have many players out injured.

So where to for Parramatta.  It looks like if the Storm win, they will play the Bulldogs, and the chance/miracle/Orac Zen becomes a rugby league supporter and the Broncos beat the Storm, we'll play the Storm next week.  But, I think we'll play the dogs, and that shall be a good game.

I found this link on the Sydney Morning Herald Website.

My George

I think I might have a new custom title on trekbbs, if I bring my nerd avatar back.

I've decided to change my journal. I noticed there is the Sydney sky, but decided against it.

Also, with trekbbs, it will be interesting to see how DAK reactions to my avatar.

I don't know how words can describe it. There was a moment, when the sky was total black. Absolutely amazing.

I was do something about Australian Idol tonight, but can't be bothered. happy that Matt and Jacob got throw, and very happy that Husny missed out.
