I used to think that DirecTV was the answer to all my prayers. Nay, it isn’t.
Tivo is.
— that something as artificial and silly as Friendster could make me almost cry?
Mind you, I am not the weepy sort.
Two of my oldest, dearest friends posted testimonials there for me that were so poignant, so sincere and so touching that I almost started bawling like a lunatic at work.
I have some glorious news, but I’m too superstitious to post it — wary of jinxing myself, and all that silliness.
It’s hard being a neurotic Pisces sometimes.
Just wish me luck, eh?
Someday I’m going to have to take pics that aren’t just frumple house pics.
Happy burfday, onx, you little muffinhead. =)
Scroll down for her review of the Lab. Lilah, I love you. Thank you SO much!

Odes, Bk III, xxx
Exegi monumentum aere perennius,
regalique situ pyramidum altius,
quod non imber edax, non Aquilo impotens
possit diruere aut innumerabilis
annorum series et fuga temporum.
Non omnis moriar, multaque pars mei
vitabit Libitinam. Usque ego postera
crescam laude recens. Dum Capitolium
scandet cum tacita virgine pontifex.
dicar, qua violens obstrepit Aufidus
et qua pauper aquae daunus agrestium
regnavit populorum ex humili potens,
princeps Aoelium carmen ad Italos
deduxisse modos. Sume superbiam
quaesitam meritis et mihi Delphica
lauro cinge volens, Melpomene, comam.
I have created a monument more lasting than bronze,
And higher than the royal site of the pyramids,
Which neither harsh rains nor the wild North wind
Can erode, nor the countless succession of years
And the flight of the seasons.
I will not entirely die! and a large part of me will avoid the grave.
Constantly renewed, I will grow in the eyes of posterity,
So long as the Pontifex and the solemn Vestal visit the Capitoline.
Where the river Aufidus roars, and where Daunus in the dry summers, ruled his rural folk,
I, risen to greatness from humble beginnings, will be renowned
As the first to adapt the Aoelian verses to Italian meters.
Take the well-deserved pride, Melpomene,
And freely grant me the wreath of Apollo for my crown.
