If you’re not part of the solution, you’re Satan’s tool

So, I’ve finally decided…. I’m switching web hosts. Let’s face it, there are three things I do with my web space:

1. email for me, fee and tuffkid.

2. the bbs3k – überbrain’s bbs.

3. and, most importantly, blogs. My blogs, and all the überblogs I host.

That being the case, I decided to switch to a provider that is an “authorized partner” with movabletype, livingdot.com. Bonus, I signed up in time to receive a license for MovableType… the big one. As many blogs and as many authors as I want. So all my überbloggers will now be able to use the 3.14 version. As soon as I can convince networksolutions.com to allow me entry into my domain manager for uberbrain. I anticipate that will take about two weeks. Given the fact that every answer I receive from them never actually ANSWERS anything.

I’m still waiting for jodiferous.com to switch over to livingdot.com, and when it does, I anticipate that comments will return! hooray!!

I haven’t been doing much reading lately. I’m going through a television phase. It happens. My biggest distraction is definitely Oz. I’m hoping to receive season 3 tomorrow. It’s a great show. Even if you didn’t get to see Law and Order’s hunky Dect. Stabler nekkid. Completely nekkid. Oh the nekkidness of that show. Let’s take a minute to contemplate it. ……………. ooooo-KAY. However, I will have to wait until Feb. to get season four. Apparently, HBO concentrates on cranking out DVD’s of Sex in the City and the Sopranos, and can only release one season of Oz a year. That is just cruel. Who runs HBO? Who do I talk to about this? there are two more seasons after 4. And you know, a “season” is only 8 episodes! So, like, how hard could it be? At this rate, I won’t be able to see the entire series until 2007! Madness. And why are they so slow with Six Feet Under? I saw all of season 2 when I still had HBO, and that was years ago. Where is season 3?

Another show I just started watching, and enjoying, is Veronica Mars. There’s nothing I like more than a Gal Detective. [unless it’s a Nekkid Detective Stabler.] I wanted to be a Gal Detective, when I grew up. But I have done that yet. Grown up. Anyway, she’s snarky, clever, and a big fan of revenge. I think that show is well written.

I’m not sure if I mentioned this earlier, but my family now knows about my blog. This is my Uncle Jim’s fault, so we’ll take a minute to give him a shout-out. I don’t think anyone knew about the jodiferous.com domain. My email was always sent from uberbrain. Jim’s wily, tho. He went to uberbrain.com, followed a link to one of the ublerblogs, which had a link to mine. And then he told my mom. So what’s a girl to do when her family does, or says, something moronic? Or makes a poor decision? [“poor” meaning something I don’t agree with]. I mean, come on, that’s what a blog is for, reporting these things. I guess I could put a disclaimer on my blog.

WARNING: To All Members of My Family

You guys are great. Seriously. But let’s face it, sometimes you guys do the craziest things. And the things you say? Oh. My. God. How am I supposed to resist. I can’t. That’s what a blog is for. Your names could be changed to protect the innocent, but… who, among us, is really inoocent. So, don’t be mad, or surprised, if I have to brutally honest in my blog. Don’t worry, all my posts are completely objective and unbiased. And, you do good stuff to, I’ll mention that. If it comes up. And you can always retaliate by commenting on an entry. Or writing your own blog. Basically, it boils down to this: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK
Love ya! Mean it!

First we’ll make snow angels for a two hours, then we’ll go ice skating, then we’ll eat a whole roll of Tollhouse Cookiedough as fast as we can, and then we’ll snuggle.

It’s going to snow tonight. They’ve been saying so all week. Evildeb and I have been looking at weather.com. It’s basically going to start snowing at 9pm, and continue on through the night. in the morning, there are a couple of mentions of snow, mixed with rain, but the temps are still cold. Then it will all stop at noon.

And weather.com is NEVER wrong. Here’s hoping for a snowday!!

Let’s settle this once and for all, runt! Or ain’t you got the gumption?

Technical chats between Evildeb and I often deteriorate into discussions like these.

Jodi: i wish i were psychic.

Evildeb: why

Evildeb: then you’d have to talk to dead people and that would just be more people to talk to

Jodi: cuz i watched that show “medium” and i want to be a psychic consultant. and help people solve the tuff crimes.

Jodi: it would combine my love of mysteries with my love of knowing things that other people don’t know.

Jodi: and not only do i want to be psychic, but i want to be THE BEST PSYCHIC IN THE WORLD!!

Evildeb: I watched it also

Evildeb: but she wasn’t a very good actress

Jodi: she was weird.

Jodi: but i’ll give it another shot.

Evildeb: but I love psychic stuff so I’ll probably watch it again

Jodi: i knew that about you.

Jodi: cuz…

Jodi: i’m….

Jodi: THE BEST PSYCHIC IN THE WORLD!!!

Jodi: she’s been good before.

Evildeb: yeah, I bet she needs to warm up to tv

Evildeb: it will probably take a while for the show to get good

Evildeb: that happens a lot

Evildeb: I know that because

Evildeb: I’m

Evildeb: a

Evildeb: tv expert

Evildeb: In my class the teacher said we are all experts at something

Evildeb: But legally, to be an expert, the court has to agree that you are

Evildeb: and that requires a curriculum vitae

Evildeb: if you are an expert you can offer your opinion and the court will listen to you

Evildeb: but if you aren’t an expert you can only offer facts

Evildeb: facts are stupid

Jodi: ummmm… what am i an expert at?

Evildeb: Prudence?

Jodi: sloth.

Jodi: i am an expert of sloth.

Jodi: i’m very very very very very very very very good at sloth.

Evildeb: do you know a lot about it?

Jodi: sure.

Evildeb: could you advise the court on sloth?

Jodi: it’s gooooooooood.

Jodi: sure.

Evildeb: well, there you are then

Jodi: i could start a knowledge base on it.

Evildeb: why don’t you if you’re such an expert on it

Evildeb: ?

Jodi: because i’m SLOTHFUL!

Jodi: i could do it, but i never would.

Evildeb: well, you won’t have much of a curriculum vitae then

Jodi: don’t need one.

Evildeb: but maybe in the case of sloth a curriculum vitae is counterproductive to proving your expertise

Jodi: i emote lessons on sloth.

Evildeb: I really need to finish my email. I got one done but I have another one to do.

Jodi: what the hell is a curriculum vitae?

Evildeb: a list of the things you’ve done or what have you that prove you are an expert.

Evildeb: Like, speeches you’ve delivered, articles you’ve written that someone published (proving someone believes in you) certifications you’ve gotten on the subject, your PHD…it’s like a resume

Jodi: hooo-boy. in my case, it’s more of a list of things i HAVEN’T done. because i’m an expert. in sloth.

Evildeb: but different

Jodi: i think they are expecting a bit much from an expert in sloth.

Jodi: that’s a lot of work. a lot of effort. we hate that.

Evildeb: right, but if you got up the gumption to write your curriculum vitae I think it would undermine your claim of expertise

Jodi: speaking of sloth, i have to go to a meeting now.

Evildeb: ok

Jodi: gumption.

Jodi: i’m FULL of gumption.

Evildeb: that’s good because I have to finish an email

Jodi: wheee.

Evildeb: you should take a laxative

Evildeb: to help eliminate all the gumption that’s trapped inside of you

Evildeb: because I think there may be a blockage problem with the gumption

Jodi: ha! blockage.

Jodi: gumption blockage.

Jodi: i need more fiber.
