Let it snow!

The snow is coming down heavy now. We may get up to 5 inches.

I absolutely love to watch the snow. I really want to just sit next to a crackling fire in the fireplace with some hot chocolate. Even better if there was someone to sit next to! ;-)

Well we canceled the Youth activity tonight because of the snow.

I'll post some pics of the snow later on.

Now I gotta go drive in it!

More Ireland and Scotland trip pics

Here is the video slideshow I made from some of the highlights of the trip.

It's about 5 min. I'll be working on a longer and better slideshow once I get pics from everybody else's cameras.

Most of the pics are from Ireland but half way through you'll start seeing some Scotland. All the photos of the castle and the bus ride are in Scotland. The Castle is Sterling castle, and off in the distance on the photo's where your looking over a wall and your way up is the monument to William Wallace. Of course it was built long long before Braveheart. The Castle itself was built in the 1500's.

Now the first clip is of Mike, he calls it the Mungret Mambo. Never a dull moment around Mike.

If you have any questions about the video just leave a comment or email me.

Enjoy the video!

Live Writer is awesome

Just download windows live writer. I really like it so far. It's got a nice clean UI and it downloaded all my settings from my blog in just a couple of clicks!

We got our first snow just last night! Got about an inch or so, we are supposed to get 2-5 inches tomorrow.

If we get a good amount of snow I'll post some pics of it.

I'm finally thinking of getting a mac. Not switching to mac though, just adding a mac. I like windows and windows will always be my primary OS but I'm going to try out mac. Well, I'll only be able to give it a try if I win the bid on eBay.

We'll see what happens. It might be nice to travel with or something. It's a PowerBook G4 titanium. Looks nice and the battery life is pretty decent.

The HD-DVD player I got on eBay is working perfectly, just need to get some HD-DVD's. I'm really looking forward to the release of Lord of The Rings on HD-DVD. I've heard that they have pushed back the release date because they want to release it on a dual-format disc with HD-DVD on one side and Blueray on the other. I guess it's taking longer to manufacture. Just plain movies look great on this player because it will upconvert a standard DVD to almost HD. Very nice.

Well enough rambling, gotta go get some sleep. Have to get up early and hit the Cisco CCNA 4. Got a skills final coming up next week and I'm behind on my labs. argh.

Wow, it's already morning.

Well, Good Morning!

I love eBay

After a short delay with UPS I am finally a proud new owner of an HD-DVD player. Yay!
I'm still looking for a multilink adapter for my Silicon Graphics monitor. When I find one I'm set.

It's finally warmed up to 30 degrees (that's Fahrenheit for my international readers)

Well gotta go do some Christmas shopping!

I'm so tired of being lonely

Yeah, I know it's been a long time since I've posted. And yes I remember I promised some pics of Scotland. I will post them soon! It's been pretty crazy.

Just got done watching a great movie, ok, 2 great movies. You know, it's just not the same. Even if it's a really great movie it's just not the same if you don't have someone to enjoy it with. But not just movies, It could be anything. Getting a coffee, a bite to eat, catch a movie. I so dearly miss having a friend with which to do all that and more. It's no fun being lonely.
I wish I had somebody that I could just call and say "Hey you wanna get a coffee?". Someone to talk to, someone to just enjoy being with.
I don't know why, I just feel so isolated. It's weird. At times I just want to get away from everything and find a calm place to be alone, but at the same time I long to be with someone that would be a friend.

I guess I had to get that off my chest.

Well it's going to be an early morning of shoveling ice.

Good night all.
