Typealyzer

Run your blog throught the Typealyzer and it will analyze your writing and spit out your psychological type. I know this is probably a lot like a horoscope, so vague as to apply to everyone, but I do see quite a bit of me in here:

ESFP – The Performers

The entertaining and friendly type. They are especially attuned to pleasure and beauty and like to fill their surroundings with soft fabrics, bright colors and sweet smells. They live in the present moment and don?t like to plan ahead – they are always in risk of exhausting themselves.

The enjoy work that makes them able to help other people in a concrete and visible way. They tend to avoid conflicts and rarely initiate confrontation – qualities that can make it hard for them in management positions.

(except for the whole soft fabrics, bright colors and sweet smells thing)

84,000 Annoyingly Blinking Cursors

Taunting me.

I have nothing really in mind for a post and staring at mostly empty title box and the vast expanse of empty text is not really helping me conjure up something. The only thing I have to write about is the oh so exiting news that sometime yesterday the odometer on the Emperor easing over the eighty-four thousand mile mark. And that won’t take up much space, as you can see.

Last week on the way home from work we stopped at Regions Bank and made the last payment on the Miata. The check has cleared, but we are still waiting for the title in the mail. Now if only my wife would let me have that “extra” $300 a month to spend as I wanted… 😀

?

This episode returned to the good writing that entangled both the off island flashback of Mr. Eko and his on island story. Through his dreams (or religious visions) he insists that he and Locke search the jungle for the ? which leads them back to the wreckage of the small plane in which Mr. Eko found the remains of his priest brother. Locke has a dream which shows Mr. Eko where to go, enabling him to see the ?, which turns out to be another hatch. Inside the hatch they watch another orientation film which cause Locke to lose his faith in the button pushing, but surprisingly has the exact opposite effect on Eko.

No, It Is NOT OK!

When AutoCAD crashes it pops up a dialog box that reads something like this – FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x000c Exception at 654bdec7h – and underneath there is one button to push, the button that you know when you push you will lose all the work you’ve done in the last half hour, and that button is labeled OK.

No, it is not OK. Maybe it should read We’re Sorry or You Are So Screwed or maybe it should read my personal favorite AutoCAD Crash Slogan – It Always Goes Faster The Second Time You Draw It.

I Missed Again

It happened 3 weeks ago and it happened again this past Tuesday, I missed House. You would think that with only one TV that I need to remember to watch, I’d remember it, but you’d be wrong.

I downloaded the torrent overnight and just got through watching it. It was a nicely written episode with a couple of story lines that melded the medical mysteries with family relationship issues, up to and including the brotherly relationship between House and Wilson. The medical parts were their usual all over place guessing and testing before stumbling on the right solution, as to whether they were medically well written, I’ll defer to the expert – Scott.

Two For The Road

Number 44 of 83 with just 3 remaining in Season 2. This is Anna Lucia centric and here the show takes a darker turn. After Sun & Jin settled in all happy once they find out she is pregnant, last episode’s love story show with with Rose & Bernard, a budding romance between Hurley & Libby and a steamy jungle quickie between Anna Lucia and Sawyer this show ends with a major betrayal and two murders by gunshot. It seems as if Michael will stop at nothing to get his son back.
