What's up homies. It seems like some of you out there are still using Internet Explorer. You reaally reaaaally need to switch over to Firefox www.getfirefox.com. It's a much safer browser to use, and it has TABS for great justice! Seriously, I want to see the 49% of you that are on IE switch over to Firefox by next week. Fersure.
Also, for anyone who hasn't seen the few pictures I took of Brandon and Jamie's wedding, here's the link:

so much for autographs
so much for apologies
how does it all add up
how does the story end?
i can't let go
i can't pretend....
your so emo, and LAN PARTY STAT!
Well, despite the fact that some people may not want to hear about it, I just thought I'd let you all know I had a GREAT first week at work. There are at least 2 other Witnesses where I work, and the people are really nice. I like the job, and I'm really excited about it.
And in other news, Arizona DOES suck....well, at least the wildlife...yet again. Except THIS time, it almost got me, no joke. A HUUUUGE tarantula was right NEXT TO the doorknob of my front door today when I went to unlock it, and I wasn't paying attention, and literally almost put my hand ON the tarantula. I screamed, it freaked out and jumped down, almost landing on my foot, and started running all over the place. It wound up sitting in FRONT of my door....leaving me no way to get inside my house.
I hate this place sometimes.
Bobby. wow. i want to see this. and check out that cast.
http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/bobby.html
huh this does look kinda cool
Looks really good. the cast is insane.
Directed by Emilio Estevez!
And I really didn't know anything about Robert F Kennedy, so I just read up on his wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kennedy and his assassination http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_F._Kennedy_assassination
pretty interesting. feel bad for that family.. man.
wonder what it will be rated
we'll soon see
Woo! It took me a month but I finally found the folders I wanted for school. Binders are too heavy when combined with my 20lb+ Shakespeare book so I got these folders with little three-whole clippies in them!
so i just had my first PHONE INTERVIEW, it was the WORST! ugh, i hated it! it was way worse than being in person, because it was hard to stay focused and not to ramble when you're not looking at someone. and silence to pause and think is so much worse on the phone than it is in person.
ugh, i want a GOOD job, that i'm actually AT for a while! I HATE JOB SEARCHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
have you ever thought about starting your own business? i just got into selling Pre Paid Legal Services. I think that for me at least it has the potential to turn into a good business where I can make my own hours and be my own boss. And its a service that people can actually use. Let me know if your interested in more information.
Europe was the best diet I ever went on.
haha, so funny, i always say that...17 days, lost 10lbs, and i ate more than ever! lol
I didn't weigh myself before I left but all my pants are still big on me!! I ate gellato every day but walked like..10 million miles!
yup! me too..gelato...every.day. but it was fun walking cuz you got to see all the cool sites, it wasnt like walking around your neighborhood or on a treadmill. lol
Yeah!! I have to walk like 1/2mile+ uphill at school from where I park and it drives me crazy because its not like I'm walking in the Alps in Switzerland with crazy cool buildings everywhere...I'm in Montclair NJ and there's just lots of cars.
Yehp. When I left England, and was in America for a few months, I started noticing whoa, I'm gaining weight now. I was really fit back in England.. with all that walking every day. Hate walking in NJ, 'cause there's no point to it and nothing exciting to see. :-( I'm miserable HERE
My grandma complains every time we see her that she doesn't have any pictures of my sisters and I after we were 5 so she shows people and then has to explain that they need to add around 20 years.
Soo we're gonna go take pictures soon! Woo.
im confused. there were firecrackers like crazy in my neighborhood last night.
Im not afraid of the price i pay
I wont lie down as you walk away
sometimes i'll be flipping around radio stations, and hear some music that sounds like something i would listen to, like some kind of rock, but i've never heard this particular artist. so i'll listen for a few minutes, and be like "oh yeah this is kinda good i guess" and then i'll listen to the words and i'll hear "GOD ... YOU ARE AN AWESOME GODDDDDDDDDD" and i'll realize that i've been listening to a stupid christian rock station.

Well, Monday is Yom Kippur (Yizkor) so NO WORK! The whole day free to recover from my two day, which I will do by spending the day in service =p
I have like 3 rv's I keep not getting home, and two that are supposed to start the book.
I wish eZabel would work for more than 18 hours straight.
That's what she said.
*impish stare into the camera*
Or "he" said.
*profound stare*
so when are we having a guys' night? schino, ian, toby, patrick, drinking in skeezy dives and general hilarity ... this would be sweet
Can I come?
lol girls
im down... i think we should hit up the city tho... im tired of the local crappy places.. lol i havent been to the city in a few weeks...
My kids had school pictures today. I hope they come out cute.
jsut reading that made me think of calvin and hobbs...lol
Glad it brought a smile to you. haha...
they'll def come out cute! post em when you get them (if you can)
When a program..like Illustrator..tells you it doesn't have enough memory to do something, what does that mean?
I'm not sure but you should try rebooting cos that sometimes works for me when I get that error.
This worked and it started to behave again!
Woah really!?? Sweet It means you won the game!
It could mean you're running low on RAM. Try closing other programs that you don't need running.
It could also mean that you're running low on disk space. Check My Computer and see how much free space you have on each drive.
hey i never sold anything on ebay before, and i just sold something and i'm about to ship it out - do i have to put my "from" address on the package.. i guess i do.. right?
I think fedex/usps/ups require you to do that for any package you ship. could be wrong, tho.
Any good non-chain restaurants in the general Randolph/Dover/Rockaway area?
Or, anyone know of any good/cool restaurants in NYC? Like, maybe American, or Vegetarian, or French or Italian? (not into seafood too much)
vegetarian? EWWWW
we went to this awesome italian restaurant in little italy called positanos...SOOOO yum
Little Italy is great... but been there, done that :P
looking for something new (to me)
and for someone from cali, i'm surprised you're grossed out by vegetarian, crazy hippy
psst, im mexican....member? LOL actually you'll only find the veggie peeps in like south OC, santa monica/LA and san francisco. socal peeps are more into diets nad healthy eating....im all about healthy eating & organics but restricting my food intake to higher carbs....not good.
Eatery
http://www.yelp.com/biz/wwtdp9dF8GnyACDqK0eHBA
one of my fave places. wicked steak. great mac and jack. yummy drinkies.
this is a good suggestion, thanks :)
http://becco.lidiasitaly.com/index2.htm
I've never been here, but it's run by Lidia Bastianich, who's cookbooks are amazing. It's very rustic, hearty italian food. Lots of pasta, so that's a plus for Mikayla.
Vegetarian, *rubs palms together mutters under breath* He's transition to the darkside is complete MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sorry I actually don't remember there's this Ethiopian resturaunt near Little Italy but, I don't remember the name REALLY AWESOME foor I can look it up though.
lol
i'll go to a vegetarian place because i like some food that happens to have no meat in it! like, you know, a good lasagna, or pizza, or french fries...
mmmmm
gimme some unhealthy vegetarian food and i'll be happy!
I'm so challenged. I just realized you said in your area... If you're willing to venture down 46 to Parsippany Veggie Heaven has a Veggie "Whopper" w/ fries (sweetpotato crinkly) It's the BEST junk food you've ever had =)
some really nice ones in chester, mike what's the one you had your rehearsal dinner at?
There's a nice one i've been to in I think randolph too, i'll try to find out the name of it.
we just found two really great restaurants. one was in mt. olive off rt 206. it's called mount olive bar and grill. looks kinda iffy but the food was so delicious and pretty reasonable. and plus i hear their drinks are very generous.
and this one is in newton which is out of the area but it was fantastic. bula international cuisine. i went for lunch but i got this huge piece of pecan crusted salmon with sweet mash and broccoli rabe for $8!!! i'm sure dinner is more expensive but they dod have live jazz musicians all the time really good ones too.
for rockaway i know a good thai place off 46 but i cant remember the name. diagonal from the rita's there.
oh yeah and dover has the quiet man and the laughing lion is always delicious.
thanks!

mannn, i really dug tail spin.
oh ee yay! oh ee yo!
So, big news. I'm scrapping the event planning idea. Long story short, it's something I think I'd enjoy more, just doing as a "side job" of sorts. Full time in that career would be super stressful, and take me away from my family, and meetings, way more than I'd like. I'm still gonna do it for friends who ask, but that's about it. So there.....big news of the day.
Well, sounds like a good decision, then. Much respect!
What are your plans then?
I'm still trying to decide between a couple things, nursing being one of them. Working in a hospital environment will quickly help me decide if that's the route I want to take, that's for sure, hahaha.
There's other things I'm thinking of...I just have to make sure no part of them compromises my beliefs, you know? So I'm doing a lot of research right now, just trying to take the time to figure out what I want to do.
I am booooored. I gotta get up at 6:30am....I am gonna be sleepy tomorrow.
for anyone who knows the band: Ignite has some shows in our area next month. I'm definitely going to go see them!

Mike, quick, post some Angelina pics to cancel these ones out!!!
okay is it just me.. maybe.. but.. this guy creeps me out and makes me feel nauseus
i had to see it, so... so do you!
It's amazing it's. .. it's really like I can hear what he's saying when I put my ear up to the picture. He's saying..... yup, I was right he's saying "GAYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
i feel the exact same way. woof. this guy is so gay that richard simmons gay bashes him on a regular basis. man-o-man.
i started writing a journal, but i got busy and i closed it out

Wow, that's desperation.
any chem wizards roaming free thru ezabel?
I was just playing this name game with my co-workers like...What other names could we possibly be if we didn't know eachother as what we are already named. I've gotten Denise, Tiffany,Jasmine this ie hilarious
I told my one co-worker she pu off a Martha, Brenda, Donna vibe...she said "Ewe, Martha is an old name and Brenda is a Big Girl's name."
This is so funny...I'm gonna make a list of the ones I like =)
So dumb...ticketmaster is the devil. Instead of just telling you it's sold out they let you try different ticket amounts and just keep telling you "not available."
yeah, i hate that. why don't they just say SOLD OUT
and then they release more tickets at different intervals. ugggggghhh
They're playing games with us...it's not cool.
Ok first of all ticketmaster is the suckiest monolopy in this world I wish they would burn to the ground.
Here let me charge you for licking the envolope we send.
Here use our horrible website that never ever works.
Lets charge you additionaly for the convenience, as if there were any other way to actually buy the tickets
Seriously.
Ben was under the impression that if maybe you bought them on the phone or at one of the store-places you wouldn't have to pay the convenience charge. Noo..it's a convenience charge for being inconvient or..I don't know what it's for.
Ok, so I'm sitting here on my couch, with our living room window behind me. All of a sudden I hear this tapping on the window. I freak out and turn the light out, to be able to look outside. I'm looking all over with the flashlight, all nervous and stuff. Then I see it....A STUPID GRASSHOPPER!!!! It was jumping and hitting the window over and over. Thanks for giving me a heart attack....stupid insect....ugh.
oh i knew it was gonna be a visual crazyfest haha i liked it of course
hey, has anyone ever done one of those murder mystery dinner theatre things? it's something i always thought sounded cool, but don't know anything about it.
we did that a coupla years ago. it made for a fun night! i'd say it highly depends on the acting abilities of the people involved tho, so your mileage may vary.
hmm, yea, i'm thinking we should go to NYC or baltimore or philly, i'm thinking a dinner theatre in red lion, pa wouldnt be the best.
I'm writing this from a computer training class at work...oooh! Scandalous!!!
FALSE!....we're taking a break, so I'm allowed.
:)
Hope everyone's day has been more exciting than mine...staring at a screen since 8am....NOT fun.
I'm writing this from my desk at work. :P
can we eat spinach again yet?
ian, can you maybe make it optional for a new thread to show up on the front page?
on a related note, I'm at the www.springforward2006.com conference. it's pretty sweet. just heard a talk from some of the EJB 3.0 developers on the new Java Persistence API, and another one on transparent object clustering from the guys at www.terracottatech.com . However I have realized I'm a laptop snob. good thing noone showed up with the 17-inch version of the MacBook Pro or I'd be humiliated.
Yeah, I'll add that option in soon. I'm just super busy right now.
send me a patch! :P
Java Persistence API sounds pretty cool. Seems like they're taking a lot of good ideas from Hibernate and similar tools. How does JPA relate to EJB?
I thought EJBs *were* the Sun answer to persistance? Why do they feel the need to have another API?
because it turned out that EJBs sucked. the open source community came up with much better alternatives. and EJB 3.0 is pretty much a complete overhaul of the API.
.NET is sun's answer to java
*Entity* EJBs were the "Sun answer to persistance". But no one in their right mind would use them, way to messy. So that's why they came out with EJB 3.0 I guess, but I don't know if EJB 3.0 is any better.
EJBs in general should be avoided if at all possible.
EJB 3.0 uses JPA for entity persistence/ORM. like a total rework of the whole Entity Bean stuff. Now they are just breaking it out into its own seperate API so you can use it outside of EJBs
I don't know if I'd ever use it, but it was interesting. using annotations like @OneToMany makes me think it wants to be ActiveRecord :)
How does one convert the standard itunes format (mp4) into an mp3?
i think currently you're stuck with burning the songs to cd and then reimporting them as mp3.
I was about to agree with Ian... BUT if you change your import preference to MP3 instead of of AAC. Then under the advanced menu you should have the option to 'convert selection to MP3'.
Cheers
(BTW this would only work with unprotected AAC files i.e. ones not purchased from the iTunes music store.)
Awesome! Thanks :)
Ducks eat free at Subway.
im a ducks fan...would that work? LOL
Haha probably depends where you go.
i didnt get to comment on your hair...it looks so cute! i love it!!
Thanks hun! I'm totally in love with it, I keep staring at myself...this could be a sign of a bigger problem!
Everyone should try short hair!
Haha. I was gonna ask if they had to be mighty...
wooot hi ezabelers
Awful film director beats up 5 film critics.
http://film.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,1881304,00.html
OMG i totally need my glasses, i thought tha said adult film star...HAHAHAHA
ok guys, i have to upload a video from my cell phone to the computer, but everytime i do it, the sound doesn't play...what am i doing wrong?
Now you will experience the full power of the dark side! (zzzzzzzzzz)
Yes...I'm a dork...
OMG MIKE SCHIANO IS ALIVE!!!!!!
for rizzle dude... its been crazy here...
WHY
kids man... kids at college....
OMG BROTHERMAN HAS CAUGHT THE PREGGOS!!!!
Nooooooo......Even if it were possible, I couldn't deal with another kid. LOL!!!
We are young...Wandering the face of the earth...Wondering what our dreams might be worth...Learning that we're only immortal, for a limited time...
so someone should totally come have lunch with me cuz i just found this amazing new restaurant in newton that i wanna go to but it seems everyone already has junk to do today. no fair.
I made it back from vacation! California was awesome. Totally better than NJ. :)
It's crazy, but I'm actually glad to be back in my old work-meeting-home-service routine again. I guess that's a testament to the fact that I really needed a vacation, because before we left, I wanted to punch all my co-workers and just stay home under my covers.
I thought some of my co-workers might have sticky fingers while I was gone, so I hid all my pens, stapler and tape dispenser. However, someone took my mouse extension chord if you can believe that. I sent a note around asking who took it, and everyone responded: "What's a mouse extension chord?" so I think the computer guy must have seen it and thought it belonged to the firm, but it doesn't - it's mine. Strange thing to lose while away, huh?
But happier thoughts: The inn where we stayed in Napa was amazing. It was the most comfortable night I've spent not at home ever. And the town was adorable - like 2 square miles with 5 fantastic french restaurants all in blocks of each other. We walked to dinner each night through this little rose garden in the center of town.... ahhh... it was wonderful.
aww that's awesome cuz ur so in love. hahah when my mom went to napa she said she kept telling the snooty waiters how she drank wine out of a box and they all got these extremely horrified looks on their faces. but i'm so glad you had such a great time.
Hahahaha!
