Music

I like Music. Of most types and most kinds. So on that note, I'd like to share my new favorite website for music:

Pandora.com

Have you ever visited it? It's totally awesome, and has introduced me to a lot of 'new' music and artists. Here's the gist: You tell it a song, artist, or composer and it will search it's database creating a playlist just for you. And when you are listening to the songs you can tell it you like the song, don't like the song, or even don't play for a month.

The limitations are you can't request to hear a certain song, nor can you replay a song. But you can pause, and enjoy music from any computer. And you may find some new favorites.

God 1 Atheist 0

Obama took oath today. And ended it with "So help me God." the majority was not beaten by the minority this time. Oh, and the prayer was said, so I guess that makes it God 2 Atheist 0.

The latest in our Silly House Hunting Experience

We found a house we liked. It's a nice corner lot, pretty good shape house, and has all our must haves (washer/dryer hookups, yard, off street parking). It even has a few extras like Central Air. It is in Dracut which is farther than we planned on being, but still within 30 minutes or so of Nick's job.

So then the fun began. We put in an offer. They countered within an hour. We countered back. We waited. And waited. And waited. Finally, we heard back about 24 hours later. They hadn't budged. We countered again. And waited. And waited. And waited. Finally 48 hours later we heard back. We decided to accept.

So we go in to the office to sign the paperwork. And at that time the listing agent says: By the way there's no heat in this house. WHAT?!?!? ( The listing agent didn't know this either). Apparently the furnace went out, and the seller was told it wasn't worth replacing. Well that's fine, but at least mention it BEFORE we come to an agreement. Oh, and by the way the house has no septic, and isn't connected to the town sewer. Luckily, they were already planning on connecting it, but that wasn't told to us until today either.

So now we find out what the home inspector finds wrong with it. Stay tuned....

Facebook

Facebook is my enemy and my friend.


It wipes out massive quantities of time. I like to play the games, check out everyone's pictures, and see what people are saying.

However...

Through it I have found friends I thought lost. I have been able to reconnect, at least a little with people I moved away from in childhood.

So overall, it's a good thing. I think. I'll let you know when I finally buy a hotel on Mob Wars.

Happy New Year

May 2009 be the year that I:

buy a house
get healthy
meet new friends
keep the old friends

Oh, and that you get what you want too!
