Fun With Firefox
2005-02-07, 5:02 p.m.

Count me in as the latest on the Firefox bandwagon. Bonus: Installing it and playing around helped me procrastinate with laundry. Righteous, dude.

Who won the Super Bowl? Ask me if I care. This morning I found out which teams played and who won, thanks to The We@ther Channel, aka The Gestational Channel. Hubby says it�s no wonder the guys on there always look so happy. Looks like there�s a lot of action going on behind the scenes. It was a rare morning on there; several female anchors, and not one of them was noticeably pregnant. They must have the male anchors in a holding pen offstage. Down, boy!

Instead of watching the Colossal Bowl, I did a bit of housework and channel surfed my way to a true American oxymoron: a �Little House on the Prairie� cliffhanger. Even when it was a first-run, anyone over the age of three knew that they wouldn�t kill off Almanzo, that eventually Laura would find some way to proselytize him into action, and Pa would shed tears every 5 minutes with Ma wringing her hands stoically in the background. Then, there�s the ending�Laura has just had a Very Dramatic Moment, and�*cue the dootily doot theme music*. Doot doot DO DOOT, doot do DOOT. Note to network execs across the nation: Cliffhangers that end with dootily doot theme music aren�t very cliffhanger-y.

Ever notice how Dr. Baker could cure anything on that show with bed rest and a concerned frown? Kind of like the Professor, who could make anything out of coconut husks and palm fronds. Anything, that is, except a rescue boat.

I got a third of the way into Daughter�s bedroom today before I broke out in hives. Arranging her room is going to take longer than I thought. I unearthed two loads of dirty laundry, and haven�t yet made it to the other side of her bed.

The kids� chiropractor appointments for this afternoon were cancelled. Why? The chiropractor�s out today with a bad back.

The first season of MacGyver is out on DVD now. Hmmmm. Just in time for Valentine�s Day. Am I the only girl out there who gags at a rose bouquet, but would be bowled over by a MacGyver collection? I think for Hubby, I�m going to rent Back To School with Rodney Dangerfield. He hasn�t seen it in ages. That and some beer ought to do it.

Who said romance has to be sappy?
