Is there anything Courtney Love doesn't know?

The weekend was rather non-descript. Marie spent Saturday at a stamping event in Oshkosh. It was probably the windiest day of my young life so I decided to spend the day inside under a blanket, switching between the computer, NES and television. Finally got the majority of my concert downloads burned onto CDs. After having a spindle of 100 blank discs for almost a year, I'm finally down to 6. The loss of an hour of sleep is hurting today, but will pass. Everything does.

I'm also looking for some software to complete the long-dragged out Photo Project. I'm looking for software that will produce a slide show to be played in a DVD player (need to put this DVD burner to good use). Also need the software to display the photo filename on screen (to correspond with my description of the picture - unless there's there is room on screen for me to type it in). I don't expect anyone to do some hardcore research for me, but if anyone knows of a program (or product line) that might do that, please let me know. Ultimately, I'll have between 700 and 1200 pictures, so it needs to be sophisticated enough to handle all that. I'm more than willing to download demos and try it out myself, but if anyone's got any experience with this sort of thing, it would be appreciated.

Maybe I will get a Prius after all...

Survey says

1: Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says:
"...getting along with people in everyday business and so-"
How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

2: Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first?:
Shit. Now I just spilled my water bottle. THANKS A LOT!

3: What is the last thing you watched on TV?:
Arrested Development.

4: WITHOUT LOOKING, guess what the time is:
2:34

5: Now look at the clock, what is the actual time?:
2:24

6: With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?:
Alkaline Trio and a tax employee talking on the phone. It's pretty quiet here today.

7: When did you last step outside? what were you doing?:
I went outside to come to work. I also let the electrician into the backyard so he could hook up some dealy to the air conditioner.

9: What are you wearing?:
Charcoal pants, a gray long-sleeve shirt and my old, black shoes. Accessories too.

10: Did you dream last night?
I did. I think I had a dream that gas was $1.54 a gallon.

11: When did you last laugh?
Probably on the way to work with Marie.

12: What is on the walls of the room you are in?:
A calendar that Marie made for me and 5 Ansel Adams prints. I didn't think my Jay and Silent Bob blueprints would go over too well at work. I also have a thermostat that hisses at me and various outlets, a door stop and a light switch.

13: Seen anything weird lately?:
It's actually been a pretty normal day.

14: What do you think of this quiz?:
It's one of the more interesting ones I've taken. Thanks for being so concerned for my well-being.

15: What is the last film you saw?:
Marvin's Room. It was pretty good.

16: If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first?:
As leg room is on my mind at the moment, I'd build a theater for tall people to enjoy movies in comfort. I'd also play only good movies and it would be by invitation only so no jerks would be allowed. It would have sensors in it to automatically strangle anyone who was at a movie with their cell phone on, in case a jerk would sneak in. It would also have a stage so people could use it to perform and it would always smell good inside.

17: Tell me something about you that I don't know:
I came to work this morning and found that a piece of paper on my desk looked like someone had set some greasy food on it. I then noticed that the rest of my desk had a thin layer of odorless, brown liquid on it. We started using a new cleaning crew at work and apparently they gravied my desk. I wiped up as much as I could, but still feel vagely greasy.

18: If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?:
I wouldn't know where to begin.

19: Do you like to dance?:
Despite looking like a mental patient who's pubic hair is on fire while doing it, yes.

20: George Bush:
will eventually get his.

21: Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?:
I really like the name Emily.

21: Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?:
I think Paul is a good name. Or maybe Mahoul.

22: Would you ever consider living abroad?:
Yes, Canada sounds pretty good most of the time.

23: If you took over LJ for a day, what new rule would you institute (question added by me!)
