Best. Movie. Line. Ever.

“You should be kissed, and often, and by someone who knows how!”

Mr. Rhett Butler, you’re my hero.

MORE: Have I mentioned that Gone With the Wind is one of the best movies ever made? And how I love it? Even though it’s all pretty much antebellum fiction? I somehow think GWTW was the eye candy of the 1930s.

in the Navy….

it’s no wonder I love this story considering how much I love the water.

If you love the water, too, don’t miss Denise’s newest feature: sea stories!

Oh, and Denise, I got very excited by your brief mention of the Marianas Trench! I just think the ocean is so cool.

i don’t know if it’s cloudy or bright

Today’s quickie horoscope:

Your efforts have not been in vain. But they may take a while to bear fruit.

Um, OK. Nice to know the stars are behind it all, but it doesn’t really help. Especially since today is a no-mail day.

meta blogging

Now here’s something I think would be cool:

What if there were a database of blog post ideas? Any blogger could go to the database when the creativity fountain was getting dry, check certain options based on what kind of post he or she wanted to write (”serious,” “funny,” “about your pet”), click Submit, and get a list of possible post ideas returned.

Maybe it could even have a submissions request, so people could add post topics to the database.

If anyone knows how something like this could be implemented technologically, let me know! I’d never run out of ideas again!

and now it works

It appears that, after speaking to someone helpful at UT last week, they’ve fixed their online status check problem (at least where it concerns my app). Now my application shows as complete—two months later.

It’s funny that I’ve been so worked up about this particular problem, especially considering that once Mr. Angst got into a program, we knew we’d be moving somewhere. I guess that’s just me, though, needing all the ducks to be lined up.
