Valentines Day

Harry and I aren't really into Valentines Day, but we did spend the entire day together catching up on TV, in the office on our computers and go out to dinner at Outback Steakhouse. So it was great just spending the day with my husband doing things that we love to do. Valentines isn't about gifts or roses it's about being with the one you love. Happy Valentines Day Harry.

Transferring my Blog

I have spent the last five days.. a few hours a day transferring all my Blogs from Yahoo 360 blogging system to this new one. I have been wanting to change blogging systems for a while. 360 is so primitive compared to this one.. this feels like a real blogging system and I love it. I transferred over 750 blogs since 2002 and now with the cool column at the right you can look for specific blogs unlike 360. I can add photos and multiple photos with ease. And I love the layout and colors.. all in all a great move and I'm so happy that it's finally over. Time to blog.

Knights of the Guild Test Audience

Today I started to get emails and IM's from the few friends that I sent my first Knights of the Guild podcast episode 1 too. And though they are friends I know they would be honest with me and they all really seemed to enjoyed the podcast. I also sent it to a diehard fan of The Guild and she seemed to really like it.. so it seems like it's a good podcast.

I'm kind of nervous because The Guild has a huge fan base so our podcast has an already built in fan base and geeks can be kind with they like something or very mean if they don't.

I have been debating on posting the podcast early just to see the reaction but as folks are expecting it on Sunday Feb. 15th I'm holding out till then.

One of "THOSE" Days

About 4:30am I heard Homer Simpson say "the mail, the mail is here" which is my notification ring when I have a text message or voicemail. I heard him three times and knew it would drive me crazy so I got up and checked it and it was a voicemail from one of my AE's from Deadliest Catch and she was having major issues with the Unity system (hard drives). I was half a sleep but think I did a good job at communicating what needed to be done. There was a chance that I would have to drive over to fix it and I was not looking forward to it. I had had about three hours sleep so far. Luckily I was able to figure a work around so she could do her work and I didn't have to drive in. So I went back to bed and it felt like I was asleep for two minutes when my alarm went off and I have to get ready for work.

Today we were locking our very first episode of season five. I knew it was going to be a busy day but I had no idea what was in store. Both Jeremy (my day AE) and I were running ragged all day. Between computer issues, things not being done correctly and just plain craziness this day dragged on and on. It was our TV night but I had to cancel because I knew I would be stuck at work. Jeremy finally said go home at 9pm and that he would finish up. So I left and he stayed another hour and a half... man I hate days like these.

More Interviews

This morning I got an email from Vince saying he was sorry but something came up last night that prevented him from meeting up with us. He asked if he could do it tonight. I figured why not, it's better to have two cast members interview in the can so we booked him for after Michele's interview.

When I got home from work today again Harry and I ate very fast as I had to do a cast interview with Michele (Riley) from The Guild for our podcast Knights of the Guild. This time Jenni was going to be on skype as well as Michele. We started a bit late but the interview was in full swing by 9pm. In the middle of Michele's interview Vince contacted me and said he was ready.. so after we finished with Michele we did an interview with Vince. So it was a good night for Knights of the Guild podcast.

I cut in one of the interviews and did a final pass at the episode one. It is DONE. I emailed it to a few close friends as well as Felicia so they could get a sneak listen. It will be posted on Sunday Feb. 15th as planned.

Stood Up / Finished KOTG #1

Tonight when I got home Harry and I ate really quick, because Jenni was coming over to do an interview with one of the Cast members (Vince) from The Guild for our Knights of the Guild podcast. Well the interview was suppose to happen at 8pm. 8pm came and went, 8:30pm came and went and finally at 9pm we gave up and contacted another Cast member (Michele) who agreed to do an interview with us tomorrow. So Jenni went home and I finished polishing the Knight of the Guild podcast episode 1. So all I had to do was drop in the interview and it would be ready.

Lunch with Will

Today I took my friend Will out to lunch, I know it's crazy but I wanted to thank him for the awesome prank he did on me the day before. He put a lot of work into it and it meant a lot to me. So we went out to Islands for some burgers and some very nice conversation.

The Ready Room Podcast

Tonight I edited together a kind of clip show for The Ready Room podcast for the Treks in Sci Fi RPG game. We did one the previous week where forum members read character profiles for the RPG and episode 46 was more of the same. Thanks to all those who helped.

Pranked!!!


Okay a week ago I foiled the entire desk of one of my friends here at work.. well today I came into work and noticed that there was a curtain hanging over my glass door so you couldn't see in. They did some shooting over the weekend so I figured they did this and forgot to take it down. Well I opened my door and noticed that my desk chair was replaced with a pink love seat with a leopard print draped over it. I then noticed that there were curtains up over all my pictures and my desk lap had changed.. for that matter my desk had changed. Will had changed every single piece of furniture in my office. I could not believe he did this by himself. He actually came in on Sunday and said it took him an hour to make the change. I was very impressed.. he got me.. but now this just makes me want to get him back.. so stayed tuned.
