So, I am almost at the end of the fourth week at my new job. Yes, I got a new job! (If you follow me on twitter (look to the left), you probably already know this.) I am working as a Jr. Programmer/Analyst at a marketing research firm in Kennebunkport. Well, I am working for Aquent, a staffing agency for marketing companies, and my assignment is a temp-to-permanent. And I want to tell you a secret: I love it! Love it! Read the rest of this entry »
Maybe I’ll blog more? (heh, heh!)
BTW, look for an updated lannaleemaheux.com sometime in the next millenium! Sweet!
We now have a clean bathroom.
Fear me.
(And don’t you love our new shower curtain?)
This brings me back. I loved Adam Ant in high school. Of course I wonder if he did this song just so he could say “Pussy.” heh. heh.
Well, I am not doing NaNoWriMo this year. Not enough time. But, in solidarity with my NaNo friends, I will participate in NaBloPoMo!
Last night I helped my parents with their trick-or-treaters. This lovely pumpkin greeted each child:
Sweet, Huh?
We had 62 trick-or-treaters. Most of them liked the pumpkin.
No. I am not going to show you any pictures.
Aristophanes’ The Clouds is pretty naughty. (The link is so you can read its naughtiness.)
It was time to leave the mall. I started my car. The sun was out, and since my car was parked in the sun, it was hot inside. So, like people do, I proceeded to roll down the power window.
Click.
Huh?
Driver’s side window wasn’t working. Click. Tried passenger side. Click. Back-window vents. Click.
Shit.
Maybe it was a fuse. I got out my trusty instruction manual. My power windows are on the same fuse as the ignition, yet my car was running. So…
I turned my car off.
I turned it back on.
My window worked.
Seriously, I rebooted my car!
I know I am behind the 8-ball on this. I mean a few months behind! Gah.
Here are the comments from the van-naming survey:
1. Lanna is awesome! Have a cookie!
2. I also name my vehicles, my new car is mary, I like the stephen king reference….
3. I say HMC Blanche as in Her Majesty’s Chariot “Blanche”. On the other hand with the Haiwaiin flowers and depending on how you drive the Stitch mobile ( as in Lilo and STitch) might be more appropriate. Maybe Ohona van? clearly its too early for me:)
4. She has always depended upon the kindness of (Ford) Rangers.
5. I like Moby – the Great White MiniVan. Good idea, that one. But for some reason, when i saw the picture of the minivan the first time, the name “Beaver” sprang to mind. I don’t even know if it’s “Beaver” as in “The Beave” or as in the dam-builder.
Next post: the new name!
This version has got bite!
I love this song!
Nice. Thanks http://fussy.org/
(Pink Hawaiian flowers – on both sides of car. Sweet!)
To that end, I have created a survey to help me name the car: Click Here to take survey
If you are not up-to-speed, on July 18th, my car caught fire.

On fire here. (Originally posted on August 10th, 2007) (Worth a look-see if you haven’t seen them yet.)
So, what do you say? Survey!
Welcome to my blag!
