I'm sure James has memory issues. This morning I say to him as soon as Corey goes to school I'm going in the bath, so don't phone. So what does he do?

Our shower is broken at the moment, which is why the bath. Which is annoying because as much as I love baths they're for long soaks and reading. Showers are so much more convenient when you just want to get clean, and washing long hair in the bath sucks too. Then, when I got in my lovely bubbly bath, I picked up Jordan to finish reading The Black Parade is Dead, and his batteries died. Which was so much fail you don't even know.

Also fail, yesterday I was annoyed because I'd put the recycling out for collection, and when I went out later to get the box it had gone. Which pinching someone's recycling box is just low. So I muttered on and a new one was ordered, then this morning mam was down and happened to mention a recycling box was outside her garden. So Corey ran up and yeah, it's ours. Now I live on the same estate as mam, but no way should the box be all the way up there. So I assume the lazy recycling people just dropped it there because there's no road outside my house. So I'm going to write them a strongly worded email.

I'm so turning into a crotchety old woman in my old age. I know this.

However, I am amused by





Ryan's long dangling gangly legs, how he skips off stage with Brendon. Jon! So much glee.

I did install Firefox 3 the other day, and look how pretty it's made my browser.

Baths are nice, but they can't replace the convenience of showers.

Very pretty browser! I guess I will have to breakdown and install version 3!

I feel like a stupid sourpuss, because I can't get FF3 to look like that at all, I lost all my bookmarks (though I found the last update from FF2 and will be able to reinstall them manually), and LJlogin doesn't work with FF3 so switching between journals will be a huge hassle again. :(

I ended up going back to the 2.0.0.14 and I have all my stuff back. :)

Ah, how I miss the days of reading in the bath! My cat throws a fit when I take a bath, so it's showers all the time now. (My cat has issues.) But taking a soak with a book was one of my favorite de-stress things to do--even though some people shudder at the thought of OMG getting a book wet.

Cats, so weird. When I take a bath all three of mine sit at the door and watch.

Reading in the bath is the best! I don't mind if the books get a little water spotted, though mostly they don't even get touched as long as you're careful.

Also, your icon is very hypnotic.

That's my Mermer. As I told her last night, she's mesMERizing!

She sits at the door and cries loudly. And if I shut the bathroom door, she cries even louder.

Ryan's LEGS. And the ending just makes me roll around in glee. Or something! I don't even know anymore.

Your recycling men are made of FAIL!! Send them a really crochety email, they deserve it!! *is also a crochety old woman*

I'm not installing FF3 yet, even though my favourite theme (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/104) is available ;-)

It is made of fail! I mean, they're good at sending new boxes but they shouldn't have to. Just bring it back to my house already!

That theme is awesome!

Oh! That is pretty!
My firefox is all grey and ugly!
But then I have to reboot my computer soon, I need to instal some hardcore editing programs for a movie project I have with my roommate... Wich is sad, but means I'll get to install firefox 3! :p
The recycling people keep trowing our recycling bin up the hill onto the hard concrete and now it's all cracked and stays together with fat grey tape. DX

I really like how you can custom firefox. Hopefully you get it pretty too.

Honestly, you'd think the recycling people could just put the boxes back carefully. But no. I guess it's a world wide thing.

Your browser is so pretty! Is that a special theme? I'd love to have that.

Thank you!

It's something called Personas (http://labs.mozilla.com/2007/12/personas-for-firefox/) It's not a full theme so it's not a space hog, but still looks good.

You are not crotchety at all! Men just always seem to have a knack for doing exactly what we tell them not to do.

Your layout looks great - from an IE point of view. I tried Firefox before, but just didn't really like it. Guess I'm just doomed! lol

Lets see. The swirly thing is something called Personas (http://labs.mozilla.com/2007/12/personas-for-firefox/). There's some nice looks to pick from once you've installed.

I also have colourful tags, colt, delicious helper, download helper, download them all ( which is a life saver ) greasemonkey, lj add ons, scrap book, taboo and word count plus :)

I'm still holding out on FF3 until my plugins have gotten caught up to the change - I don't use many, but those I do, I'm wedded to.

Yeah, I feel you. I was gutted when some of mine didn't work. Still, I've managed to find replacements.
