In an attempt to blog once a day upon my personal site, I'm using a site called Plinky to help inspire random thoughts for my personal blog.

The Children Of Hamelin by Norman Spinrad.

Most (if not all) of the slang words that I use are from scifi shows and flicks, which is probably not too surprising. Truth be told I'm not a fan of slang words in general (as it can make it harder for people to understand what you are exactly saying) but here are a few of my favorites:

Frak (from Battlestar Galactica)

Shiny (from Serenity and Firefly)

Reavers! (Serenity and Firefly)

There are also a few that are technically not slang words, but phrases that I enjoy:

Love and Peace! (Vash the Stampede, Trigun)

The ticket to the future is always open. (Rem Saverem, Trigun)

No! Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try. (Yoda, Star Wars)

Outside of the scifi geek lingo however I don't use slang words too often and try to avoid them as slang words tend to have different means depending your location.

I’m in the process of migrating my sites off of HostMonster and upon ________ (will reveal all later).

While Hostmonster has been an excellent host, I’ve worn out my welcome (more or less) and I need a host who loves WordPress more than I do. :-)

Since I’m tired of my sites going down, creating errors anytime I create a post, tweak the site, etc., I’m switching away.

So the site will appear weird for awhile, but no need to fear! Everything should return to normal in 24-96 hours. :-/

This is just a demo test of Windows live writer. If this works, it could save me some serious browser hassle (as Firefox eats up too much memory, Google Chrome still has issues with tabs and IE is not fast enough for me while Opera makes the web look ugly).

Also doing an image test as well. Here is firefox…

Next is Internet Explorer…

Last (but not least) is Google Chrome…

Should I ad video as well? Hmm…

Enjoy your freedom while it lasts. Tonight, you and the rest of the pack will be receiving inquisition by warm water (aka a bath)

Tonight, you and the rest of the pack will be receiving inquisition by warm water (aka a bath) in order to purge you from the red dirt that clings to your flesh (not to mention infecting the rest of the house).

Now if only I could solve your wood chewing habits (which even bitter apple has not failed to remedy).
