Hyper-Intelligent Shade of the Color Blue

I just have to say that after a couple of weeks trying out Trillian I'm very impressed. All of my personal chat and email in one convenient window (except gmail). It really is "The Swiss Army Knife of Instant Messaging." And I'm using the free version. Give those hoopy Cerulean froods a pat on the back. They really know where their towels are.

*I've noticed a lot of people coming here on a search for "hyper-intelligent shade of the color blue" and I don't explain much about it here. I assume you know that this is a reference to The Hitchhiker's books by Douglas Adams. If you want some Guide kitsch, they have a nice supply over at CafePress.*

7/15/07 Update: You can also check out the entry for the Hooloovoo on Wikipedia. If you would like to leave a comment to tell me WHY you were searching on the Hooloovoo (the hyper-intelligent shade of the color blue) it will help me put the info here that you and others will want to find. I get about five hits per week on that search phrase. If you can't comment on blogger you can also email me at cmdrsue@gmail.com.

It's a Fools Game

Bush intends to exercise rarely used constitutional powers to confirm his choice of ambassador while the Senate is on its August break after Bolton failed to win the approval of enough senators for a straightforward vote. The “recess appointment” would allow Bolton to serve until January 2007 when the current session of Congress ends. ~ TimesOnline

Well, I'm glad to see that the balance of power that our Nation prides itself on is working so well.

Yes, that's sarcasm.

I'd rather have MICHAEL Bolton at the UN.

Desperately Seeking Susan

Well, the count is in and it's official. I'm not acting like myself. What I would like to know is who I'm acting like and, furthermore, who is acting like me and soaking up all that good me-ness that I could be enjoying.

I don't know what's up. I mean, I don't see why I should be depressed or angry or outraged or... Well, ok, there are plenty of reasons for that.

I guess there's nothing else for it but to go on a quest for myself. I'm going to check the basement first. If you don't hear anything for a few days send a search party. And if you find me, hold me until I get back. ;)

Important Starfleet Communication

To: Cmdrs. USS Bob

It is with extreme sadness that I inform you of the passing of Captain Montgomery Scott (James Doohan). Captain Scott passed away at 5:30 a.m. this morning at his Redmond, Wash., home with his wife of 28 years, Wende, at his side, Los Angeles agent and longtime friend Steve Stevens said. The cause of death was pneumonia and Alzheimer's disease. He will be missed.


Sincere regrets,
Lt. Cmdr. Bradley Pope
Starfleet Command


To: Lt. Cmdr. Bradley Pope

Thank you for the update, Pope. Yours was the most detailed report that I have received. We are deeply saddened by his passing. I will always treasure the autograph that you obtained for me from Captain Scott. Hopefully someone in a nearby system will hold a Scottish wake for him that we can attend.

Sincerely,
Commander Sue London

I'm a FLAPPY BIRD!!!!

You may (or may not) remember that a few months ago I declared that my goal was to become a Marauding Marsupial in the TTLB Blogosphere Ecosystem. Today I just noticed that I am one step closer to my goal - a Flappy Bird! After a month and a bit of pretty much NOT posting. What am I supposed to make of this? I don't know.

But to all of you who have taken me one step closer to my dream - thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my little Flappy Bird heart.
