zzzzz.

i love sleeping in. sleeping until 11:30 in the morning only becomes more glorious when you've been getting up at 7am all week. all summer, sleeping until 11:30 was the norm. this morning, it was a yummy treat. i'm still surprised that i slept that long, since i fell asleep around 12:15 last night, but i really did need all that sleep. not only had i been getting up early all week, but i had been sleeping so poorly during the five or six hours a night that i *was* sleeping that by last night i was beat.

i'm still not completely back to normal yet, since it's going to take my body a couple of weeks to get used to falling asleep earlier, getting up earlier, and working, but i'm feeling far better than i was wednesday and thursday. it's a start.

so far, i have no plans whatsoever this weekend. maybe i'll make plans to do something later, maybe i won't. i should clean my room, since i STILL haven't actually done that despite all of my hemming and hawing that i was going to get that done before i started work last week.

right now, i'm just pleased that i didn't have to get up early and go to work again today. sleeping in and sitting on the couch in my pajamas is full of win.

*seethe*

i was looking through the cable channel guide for a show to watch. on WE, there's a show on called "9/11: Millionaire Widows."

how tasteless. there's Bad TV, and there's TV That Should Never Have Been Made.

that's what "Women's Entertainment" is supposed to be now? ugh...give me one of those tearjerker Lifetime movies any day--and i hate those enough already.

TAKE ME TO COUNTY!!!!!

let's give a hand to Lewis B. Moon. he has taught us what not to do, no matter what your profession...and taught us that being an attorney is no excuse for a bevy of behaviours:

• being drunk and disorderly.
• operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated.
• spitting in a police officer's face.
• impersonating a sheriff's deputy.
• threatening to sue the arresting officers.
• claiming that judges were his friends, and would bail him out.
• demanding to go to county jail instead of municipal lock-up.

it's especially bad to do the last three items when you are being videotaped.

AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

SQUEEEEEE!!!!!

see this?

i did, in fact, post this to blogger from the command line, from a program i am in the middle of writing!

i still have a lot of work to do on it, since i want there to be a way to enter a title and post text from the program, have the program plug that info into the xml in a template text file, and upload it from there. right now, i have to type the post text by hand into the xml template, and then the program uploads that file as the blogger post. it's not the most user-friendly way to go through it...but this program is still in "debugging" stage.

but, i have an idea of how to do that. that's a question of using the text processing skills i've been learning. the thing i was having the hardest time with was formatting the http requests to interact correctly with blogger's API--and i have done that!!!

this makes me happy. i've spent so much time puzzling through that interface, and my effort is officially not for naught!
