Medieval Day...?
Mike and i recently took a trip down to Fort Knox to check out Medieval Day. when the rest of the country hears "Fort Knox" i'm sure they picture a huge fortress filled with bars of gold, probably as it shows up in Bugs Bunny cartoons. however, in Maine we have an actual fort that goes by that name. various events are held there throughout the year, and it's always a good place to go run around if you're bored in the middle of summer.
Medieval Day pics:
the best part was watching the knights fight it out. they did melees and team battles...
...as well as some one-on-one. everything they used was fake, including their cardboard axes and poles in place of swords, but it was still quite a show to watch.
the battlefield strewn with discarded weapons and corpses as the teams fought for their countries and fair maidens.
the fair maidens...
here is the view from the top of the fort as it overlooks the Penobscot River and the deliciously cute town of Bucksport on the other side.
to the left we could see them launching pumpkins (!) into the river with a trebuchet. if only i could have captured it well on film... those poor pumpkins really flew.
the halls inside the fort are great for cooling down, and visitors are free to explore them.
this is what a lot of the halls actually look like without the benefit of camera flashes and photo software. SpoOoOOoKy. can't wait for the annual Halloween bash... they supposedly turn the whole place into a haunted house. ::wets self::
there wasn't all that much else to the day that we saw: some sweaty guys fencing, some song and dance, and food that looked like health items from Wizards and Warriors.
btw, everyone say happy birthday to Mike today... cuz today's the day ;)

Oh sure, now you decide to work...
Hi everyone! Yep, I didn't disappear, and I've finally decided to post after my return from the short vacation to Florida.
Anyone notice that the hours of light each day is diminishing? Do you know what that means? It means I'm going into hibernation because this Floridian can't take the New York winters. It means I break out all the blankets (I sleep with five on the bed) including the electric. It means I gain 5lbs from consuming hot chocolate at least once a day. It means that I'm going to complain for the next 6 months of cold weather, so get used to it.
In other news, if you have the capability to watch streaming video (maybe you can catch this one at work sistah) or figure a way to d/l this, I recommend you do so. It's quite the lengthy video, (app. 10 minutes) but if you enjoy Mario Brothers you'll be happy you made the sacrifice.

XP SP2 gets my thumbs up simply because it has not destroyed my machine, and it is free to order on cd, so i don't need to spend 2 hours updating on every other machine at work.
Windows Media Player 10 is cooler than the previous Windows Media Players. make of that what you will.
note that my September 11th post is not about September 11th, but that doesn't mean i don't care.

Donna went blonde.
Was it the trend in whatever '70s (should be '80s by now) fashion to dye your hair, or is it just a last ditch effort on the writer's part to make you stop channel flipping for a Neilson minute or so to go " ... seen it , seen it, boring , boring, see- wait! is Eric Foreman's woman a blonde now?!"

riddle me this
There is a light in the attic. The switch to turn it on is one of three switches. your job is to figure out which is the switch to the attic light by only going up the stairs only once.
This is a one person job, do what you will with the switches, but no, you cant see if it's on from downstairs.
How do you know which light switch it is with only one trip up to the attic?
in case you become incarcerated

ABBOTT: Word.
COSTELLO: What word?
ABBOTT: Word in Office.
COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?
ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue "W".
COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue "w" if you don't start with some straight answers. OK, forget that. Can I watch movies on the Internet?
ABBOTT: Yes, you want Real One.
COSTELLO: Maybe a real one, maybe a cartoon. What I watch is none of your business. Just tell me what I need!
ABBOTT: Real One.

COSTELLO: It is?
ABBOTT: Yes, but to be fair, there aren't many other Words left. It pretty much wiped out all the other Words out there.
COSTELLO: And that word is real one?
ABBOTT: Real One has nothing to do with Word. Real One isn't even part of Office.
COSTELLO: STOP! Don't start that again. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?
