My thoughts exactly. Nothing, thats what!

Not really a fan, I tend to squish them when I see them on the ground. Mainly the creepy ones like cockroaches and stuff. Others I'll leave alone, such as grasshoppers or lady bugs.

Since it was included, I'll say I actually like lizards. They were everywhere in Puerto Rico. Even some as big as 8" long and 1" round. They were huge!

Staples... I had to get that job since Play-N-Trade went out of business around here, but at least I really enjoy working at Staples...

But, at least I did salvage a complete Sega Master System and a few games for it at the Play-N-Trade going out of business sale. =D

So how many times a week do you hear, "Hey, do you guys sell staples?"

One of my coworkers has an Easy Button. He presses it whenever he finishes something "That was easy", hehe.

I never get up later than 9. It's my curse.

I used to wake up late on the weekends, guaranteed. Usually from a late night of video games. Now with 2 kids, I barely get to sleep till 7am. It wasn't so bad with just the 1. He could sleep until 8-9 sometimes, but with the new one he has to be fed by 7am anyway so I'm up usually between 6 and 7.

Miles' post reminded me of when we lived in Minnesota. We were there for the Armyworm swarms. Literally millions of caterpillars swarm the trees and vegetation. They decimate whole forests of trees. When we would drive home, you could hear the popping and crunching of the worms trying to cross the street. It was pretty nasty.

I had the star one for a long time, I don't remember what its called. When I first got dual monitors, I downloaded a matrix screensaver. It was the coolest, it was exactly like the screens from the movies. It was random and didn't have any stupid messages show up while it was going. Since then, I've just made my monitor shut off after 10 minutes of idle. I read somewhere that not using a screensaver and just turning the screen off can save a lot of energy.

I would have to say that XP is my all time favorite. I have 7 now, but XP was my best friend. Going from Windows 2000 to XP was a huge leap for me... even though the structure was the same, the UI update was so awesome to me at the time. And I loved the Bliss desktop wallpaper. I used it for almost 3 years just because it reminded me of a place I went to often when we lived in Puerto Rico.

I never even had Windows Vista. I used it from time to time on my Dad's tablet PC, but it didn't impress me. Windows 7 is great and I love using it now. I don't think I would go back to XP, even though I do like XP more.

I love Digitally-Imported! I usually listen to the trance/vocal trance streams.

I have some DI 1 hour recordings on my iPod, back from before the whole Internet Radio Equality Act when they had a larger variety of artists and tracks.

Currently though, I'm listening to Yanni - You Only Live Once.

I think my favorite is strawberry cheesecake. Its just so good, but its too good. I can only have a small piece before it gets to be too much. I also like Mochi ice cream now thanks to my wife. Strawberry ice cream wrapped in mochi, mmmm so good.

I got started reading with The Hobbit. From there, I read through the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. After that, I got reading more and more, I started with the Star Wars series that take place after Return of the Jedi. I think theres over 40 books now and I've read them all. I haven't gotten much in to the prequel books or the comics, but I read all the post empire ones. I also like R A Salvatore and read some of his work in the Forgotten Realms universe. After that came Eragon and the following books by Paolini. Now I've been reading Raymond Feist with the Magician series. I can say I read a lot, but mostly limited to Scifi and Fantasy. I did read a few murder mystery type novels, like law and order stuff. I don't even remember what they were called or who it was by. But then back to scifi and fantasy.

I love post it 8 bit art. Reminds me I used to make designs the back of 8x5 cards and would link them all together. I think I had 30-40 of them at one time.

I forgot to mention that after the 4th Harry Potter movie, I read all the books up the the 6th one (7th wasn't out yet) in about 3 months. Those aren't short books either. And I've read through the LotR trilogy not just once, but twice so far. Planning on it again soon, after I finish the Magician series.
