"Mission Completed"
Well, after a quick bit of searching, I found my solution - a windows update that fixes yet another XP security vulnerability. here is the link in case you may be having a similar problem: LSASS.exe fix.
In other news, I just finished watching the 2004 International Builders Show that i tivoed yesterday from HGTV. Pretty interesting stuff coming... a window from Andersen that turns into a tv, the glass panes even act as speakers, a refrigerator tv from LG (similar to the internet fridge from last year), subwoofers that mount inside the walls, new types of appliances, etc...
Speaking of other tv, I have added another show to my list from Lifetime (in case you were wondering, the first show is the Golden Girls, hehehe. shhh, don't tell anyone.) : the Division. Honestly, I don't even know why I like it - it's not even that great, but it does star Lisa Vidal (former ER actress that just died this season) and Bonnie Bedelia (who is actually Macaulay Culkin's aunt) reminds me a bit of Kerry from ER, so maybe it's just an extra dose of ER that I'm looking for...who knows. Also, a grown up Nancy McKeon, so maybe it's a comfort show, like the Facts of Life? And I'm still trying to figure out why Amy Jo Johnson looks so familiar.
So if I had to pick a career based on the shows I watch, it would have to be medicine. ER, Scrubs, Nip/Tuck, and of course all of the various plastic surgery reality shows....then add a splash of cooking shows and a dash of home improvement project shows and of course every 28 year old's favorite: The OC (heh) and you've essentially got my lineup. I rarely watch movies now - I just either fall asleep or get bored. I happened to watch Tommy over the weekend on the Independent Film Channel - I'm not much on rock operas I guess, but it was interesting to see a very young Tina Turner, Elton John and Jack Nicholson among others.
As for AI, I was talking to a friend about this and she and I decided "we're not feeling it, dawg". At least not as much as we used to. It's just aiight for me. Still watching it but it seems like most people are getting worse instead of better, even though you'd never know it by the judges' comments which are so inconsistent with what I'm actually hearing these days...for example, Jasmine's performance was horrible last week - her modulations to the bridge were soooo weak and off-pitch. But not one mention by the judges. I thought out of everyone, George was the most successful in a musically technical way - i.e. i thought his transitions and modulations were at least original compared to gloria estefan's version of the song, but of course no props were given by the three non-musically technical judges.
Well, with it being such a dreary day outside I have managed to get quite comfortable in front of the computer, but I must get some other things done, including getting the Subaru inspected. Let's just hope we don't fail for windshield wipers. This local guy is FAMOUS for failing people for wipers. Half the time he doesn't even check the brakes, but wipers, he gets ya almost every time!
