The WMP on this computer appears to be grabbing all the virtual memory and swallowing it for lunch. I don’t listen to music enough to make a different media player worth paying for, but does anybody have a rec on what other free MP might be better? I did just do updates for the computer, so maybe that’ll help, but maybe it won’t, either. I’m going through HEART OF STONE backwards. Ted said, “Is it better that way?” and when I gave him a dull-eyed stare he laughed and said,…
God is a Bon Jovi fan.
It’s been raining for days here. Pissing down, in fact. It was raining when we left Cork for Dublin yesterday morning. It was rained on the way up. Somewhere around Kildare, we saw signs of sunlight. The girl sitting across from us, who was also going to the concert, said, “Maybe if all eighty thousand of us huff and puff at the sky, the clouds will go away.” Ted said, “You just have to believe.” He kept saying that the rest of the afternoon.

Anyway, I liked the movie…
bon jovi
I have replaced our nosebleed scary-heights Bon Jovi tickets with VIP circle tickets, because there is no point in getting a royalty check if you can’t blow some of it frivolously on being within fifteen feet of Jon Bon Jovi.
