My man done good!

I am a girly girl and so silly holidays like Valentines Day do mean something for me. Not much; I need at the very least a card and some little extra recognition that BJ loves me. On my part I had saved Christmas money to take he and I to Fogo de Chao, an expensive restaurant that BJ and I have not been to since our first year of marriage. I made reservations a month in advance and had it all planned out. I also got tickets for us to go to the Dallas Auto Show, another thing he and I had not been to in years. Plus, he loves cars and that sort of thing so I knew he would enjoy himself very much. I had given him a card on Valentines Day (and Sophia too!) but received not a thing from my husband! I figured he got lazy and then before he knew it the day was come and gone and therefore too late to at least get a card. He kept teasing me "Maybe I haven't gotten it yet, maybe it hasn't come in yet, maybe you'll be getting it this weekend" and so on and so on. Time passed and his negligence was forgotten, until BJ would occassionaly bring up something to get me riled up to remind him he did NADA for V day. (which I later found out he was riling me up on purpose so I would whine about it)

Little did I know he was plotting and planning. He wonderfully surprised me with tickets to Cirque du Soleil and we had an amazing time. We had not been back to Cirque since the night he proposed to me so it was very special. He did a good job at keeping this hidden, and I had no clue until we were pulling into the parking lot and he had me pull the tickets from the glove compartment. He truly redeemed himself. I love you sweetie and thanks again for a memorable night!

Running simplescalar on Ubuntu in alpha config

I have to post this for future reference as there were so many pain points just getting simplescalar running that I needed to mirror some links and consolidate some tutorials. Here's a good guide to installing simplescalar . I'll mirror some of the information from another guide that worked for me as well. The first link also contains the files you'd need to get it running. I'll also rehost them here. Here's a tutorial taken from here. Download the packages here. simplesim-3v0d.tgz simpleutils-990811.tar.gz simpletools-2v0.tgz gcc-2.7.2.3.ss.tar.gz Untar the source code into a simplesim directory mkdir simplesim (wherever you want to put this...you can name it whatever) tar xzvf (the z flag unzips a gzip file as well as untars it.... if you have straight tar files then use tar xvf ) In simpetools-2v0.tgz, there is a gcc-2.6.3 compiler. Since we don't need this, delete it. rm -rf gcc-2.6.3 Note: Before installing simple scalar package, ...

Phoebe loves shoes

OMG Shoes. Phoebe loves them. At any given moment Phoebe is either swapping shoes, trying on shoes, or digging through someone's closet for new shoes. Our recent trip to Bryan, TX to visit family, brought us to a children's play museum. There was a small selection of dress up items which of course included shoes. Phoebe immediately began prancing around in her new shoes. 59585|400 Heather wanted some pictures of Phoebe in her cousins boy clothes as well. Phoebe had run out of sleepers and needed something to wear. We got a good picture but also a picture reflecting her true feelings on wearing boys clothes. 59621|400 59615|400

I Don't Mind

I don't mind the rapid spreading contagion of nerdity (I made the word nerdity up, which I think makes me a nerd. A fact that was never in doubt). My only lament is her hesitance to adopt my music. Seriously, I listen to some awesome music. Every week I find new bands, new sounds, and every once in a while I find gold. The only problem is that I've trained myself to like the weirdest stuff I can find. For example: [audio:01-unexpect-chromatic_chimera.mp3] The band is called uneXpect. They're probably considered metal but they have a certain jazz/circus music/opera influence. They're similar to Sleepytime Guerilla Museum but much heavier. Anyway, I'm a huge fan and really have to suggest picking up their latest release In a Flesh Aquarium . I've also been doing some hunting lately and need to share the fruits of my searching. This first one is easy. It's the background music to the Gears of War commercial . Give it a look see. It's breaking d...
