Well, I am tired as hell, and about to go lie down and watch cartoons. Actually, tonight's episode of Home Movies on Cartoon Network that I taped, but never watched. I was talking to Lisa...so ya know. I missed it. I tape all the episodes tho. Actually, I am sort of obsessed with tv lately. I have been using gist tv (www.gist.com) lately to print out a calendar with all my tv favorites on it. Chris Isaak Show, As Told By Ginger, Going To California, Bob and Margaret, and others...planning my day accordingly. No life, huh? Anyhow...I was looking for the new episode of CSI, so I could write down the date and time, and I happened to go to tvguide.com to do so, since epguides.com wasn't working for some reason. So...I went there, got the info, and updated my csi page...and I noticed they had a story about csi websites...and what do ya know, my website is listed first...well, second, but only after the official cbs csi page. I thought that was cool. This is the second page of mine that has gotten some sort of recognition. This on tvguide.com (the link to the story is below this entry)...and a couple of years ago, Bill O'Reilly mentioned by fan site for his show, The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News Channel on the air at the very end of the night. He mentioned my name and age and the webpage url and all. It was cool, 'cause one of the producers, Dan Cohen called me that day and wanted to make sure Bill pronounced my name correctly and had the address correct as well. I taped that episode, but stupid me, I taped over it on accident, and it is lost forever. So, none of this is big, but it's kinda cool, and not something most people can claim. So my webpages have made their way onto cable tv and big magazine websites...nifty. I think I am gonna wait till next Monday for the job search. I need more time...I need to think of something to start myself to make some cash. I just need 200 a month now...I can wait on the real cash. Just as long as I can save a little and pay my 2 bills a month. I want to start my own website where people can trade stuff...movies, video games, computer games, dvd's, cd's, books, etc...kinda look the old websites that are gone now- switchhouse.com and mrswap.com- make a site, charge a fee for selling an item...let people list items for free...make a little cash. Low overhead (I think- who knows...if it became popular, no telling how much bandwidth would be used up, and we all know that stuff is a precious commodity and costly at that), good idea, something people clearly wanted before and probably still want now...who knows. I just need to figure out how to design such a site, and password protect such a site, and all of that complicated technical stuff that I'm totally clueless about...

Well, off to watch Home Movies...fun fun...
