Test for echo…video, rather…done
You’ll note the “What the heck? Uh Matt? Oh crap!” was me accidentally putting the camera on video, and not knowing how to turn it off…

Better horoscope
I’m just saying…
From Yahoo: This will be a day of bustling activity, split-second decision-making, and lots of surprises! But with your quick mind, you’ll be able to handle every task like a Jedi master — and then you’ll be ready for more! No one and nothing can slow you down or intimidate you, right now, so feel free to put yourself in the center of the action. You are a superstar in the making, and a lot of people want to watch your ascension. Expect your crowd of admirers to grow by leaps and bounds.
Yeah. I’m so there! Now, if I could only wake up….

My horoscope for today
From Yahoo: There is an exciting surprise coming your way, right about now, so get ready to have your daily routine knocked on its ear! You have been waiting for an excuse to ditch your plans for the day, and now you’ve got it. You have learned to be flexible in the face of chaos, and you will have a great time zigging and zagging throughout this day. People will be impressed, and there’s no doubt they will try to pry your secrets out of you. Tell them it’s just a special knack you have.
The person that writes thier horoscopes must have a talent for exteme understatements. There was a derailment of my day - sure; more like the freaking train ran off a cliff.
From Google: If you are called to play the role of mediator today, don’t back down just because you don’t know how much you will be able to help. Instead, do what you do best and be a caring listener. Just stay present and honestly tell others what you think. Your attentiveness to everyone’s needs can make a big difference.
Yeah, that made a big freaking difference. I’m afraid that no amount of listening was going to make a difference at all. Ever.

I know I haven’t been around lately…
Sorry guys! I’ve been going absolutely insane with school. Here’s an early birthday present for me though, my brother is on the front of the business section of the San Francisco Chronicle
And, no I haven’t finished posting my pictures from my last visit to San Francisco onto flickr. I hope to get them up before a year has passed. Have a good week, everyone, and I’ll talk to you soon

For all you Dollhouse fanatics-to-be…
I just saw this on Kristin’s page - enjoy Joss and Eliza’s forbidden love, and someone feed Jerry O’Connell some bacon sandwiches or something!

Open letter to Eric Kripke
If you have not seen the season finale of Supernatural, I would suggest you do not read past this point. There are no obvious spoilers in here, but I don’t think that any of my three readers are dumb; I’m sure you can figure it out. Also, there are some spoilers for Buffy, Angel (both the show and the comic) and Serenity (the movie, not Firefly).
************************************************************
Dear Eric,
You have ruined Bon Jovi for me (and you’ve forced me to admit that I’ve ever listened to Bon Jovi). I heard “Wanted, Dead or Alive” on the way in to work this morning, and burst into tears. It’s been a week dammit!
The finale sucked. I was very shocked by the finale, and am still recovering apparently.
I won’t complain too much, as I’m relatively sure you’ve taken a page from Joss Whedon’s book - no character is ever truly dead (except for Tara and Doyle and Wesley and Joyce and Wash and Johnathon and…oh hell) - and for that I’m very happy. If you manage to bring Jeffrey Dean Morgan back, I will sincerely consider naming my first born child next dog after you. 
At least my beautiful car is still intact…I almost stopped watching the show when you broke it 
Many hugs, and thanks for all that you do!

I guess its official
Gas prices suck. You know that’s official when a judge cites that as one of his (many) reasons for canceling a hearing:
“While the Court realizes time is of the essence in this case,” his order states, “the Court wants to perform its task thoroughly, correctly, and in an orderly fashion. At this time, the Court sees no reason for a hearing with testimony. Moreover, numerous gallons of $4.00 a gallon gasoline would be expended for a significant number of persons to appear with the result being an oral presentation of already written arguments.”
Wow. Ok - you can get the full article on the actual case of LULAC vs the Texas Democratic Party here. I don’t know how long the Austin American-Statesman is going to keep the article up, I hope they forgive me for scamming the quote.
