Listening to the Voices in My Head

Meegan stopped by today. Her mom is recovering from surgery, and is enjoying the morphine. (Better living through chemistry). She should be home by Wednesday.

She also had a surprise for me.. a nice nifty crepe maker. Now I can make proper blintzes!

Loki keeps looking for our guest. Kinda funny watching him sniff around the 'guest room', and meep. Poor baby

Or dream of chasing down people that through ignorance, muck up computers.

Noticed on AcerBeast, the option of being able to allocate memory to video was missing. Now it was there before I had the harddrive crash, but now it's missing. Been on the phone with Acer support (nice tech support, very helpful) and it turns out I was lucky with Acerbeast. It had the 'wrong' chipset for the video, and can be set higher than the standard chipset. Yay me. So, Acer wanted to know what the tech who replaced the harddrive did. *sigh* Just called him, he said bring it down and he will reflash the bios for me.

Went to _meegan_ 's house after PT today. Got her computer set to rights, and installed some good things she will be needing. She said no males are allowed on her computer anymore, as they keep screwing things up left right and center. At least she has a 'tame tech' (moi) to get things fixed. Ahhh, people are always using me for techs. *snicker*

At PT today, I got many strange looks again as I was singing to music not coming out of the speakers. A few noticed the headset, and started talking to me.

Took headset off and said "Pardon?"

"Are you listening to music?" (got asked this 3 times, I kid you not)

Uhhhh, I was so tempted to say "No, I'm painting the the ceiling" or something else totally off the wall.

We had more Barbies' than you could shake a stick at.

I, sporting platinum blonde wig, and white backless full circle skirted dress, was Marilyn Monroe Barbie (and according to several attendees it was quite fetching, and since it was so breezy, I had perfected the 'holding of the skirt down in sudden updraft) and _meegan_ was "Disco Barbie".. we had some novelty Barbies too, Trailer Trash Barbie (Gina's rendition was great) and partner Trailer Trash Ken (Terry was great too!) Barbie's Mom Barbie (kudos to Anya! That was wonderful) Buddha Barbie (or Krishna Ken, which ever you prefer). There was also a Classic Barbie and Ken couple (Paul and Elise) and their daughters Olympic Barbie and Cowgirl Barbie. Daggles was "CaveMan Ken". *cackle* aikidomayland was Fitness Club Ken. There are pictures, and they will come later. Even _meegan_s' Mom dressed as Barbie, in pink and white, and her Aunt Trish was Tropical Paradise Barbie!

The compliation was a huge hit.

The pinata..my gods that thing must have been armored, because even with a two handed swing of a bokken, several times, the damned thing would not break. So, Anya gave it a few strategic pulls and twists, and _meegan_ had at it again, and then we had a bunch of kids scrambling for the yummies that showered all over.

I got to sing Happy Birthday to _meegan_, a la Marilyn singing it to President Kennedy... much applause (Yes, I can actually sing). Then came the speeches.Who would have thunk _meegan_s' blushing would be visible under that make up!

It was much fun. Another bash planned that went off to perfection. :)
