House! Writing! Opera!

foxmonkeyWhile looking for the disk that came with my iPod, I found a stash of scribbles and notes and short bits that I'd been looking for (but lost). Aiii, with the writing and stashing! I've *got* to stop that.
In order to keep track of this stuff I decided to type up all of my fragments and notes and things and keep them in a separate writing journal. I asked a week or so ago about having two journals open at once and was told that a separate browser was the way to go. I downloaded Firefox and was very pleased to find that it worked. Woohoo! Firefox, unfortunately, seemed kind of slow and clunky, so I uninstalled it after a couple of days.
I downloaded Opera today and so far I'm loving it big time! Its claims to be faster than IE certainly held up. I decided to load up SG-1 episode guide on the SciFi Channel site. It's pretty image-heavy, so I figured it would be a fair test. The first header still hadn't shown up on IE when the Opera one was about half-loaded! Opera just may become my browser of choice. It's got the foxmonkey Seal of Approval (tm).
House or Hugh Laurie fans probably already know this, but he's Playboy's 20Q interview subject this month (February issue, Adrianne Curry cover). I've only read a few of the questions, but a couple made me laugh out loud. If you'd rather buy the issue and read it yourself, don't click the cut. :-)
J, I typed this up with you in mind, so don't say I don't love you. ;-)
PLAYBOY: You were shooting the movie Flight of the Phoenix in the desert when you got the call to audition for House. How much fun can you have with sand? What did you discover about it that you didn't know?
LAURIE: We were making a movie about people abandoned in the middle of nowhere. One night about four of us were sitting on top of a 100-foot dune, looking at the moolight, and we decided to somersault all the way down. I went first, got to the bottom and suddenly said, "My wedding ring is gone." The other guys were already tumbling down, and I yelled, "Stop! I've lost my wedding ring." It was dark, two o'clock in the morning. You immediately think if it's anywhere near you and you move, you're going to bury it. The four of us started searching and within about 20 seconds one of the guys halfway down the dune yelled, "Is this it?" I said, "Of course it is. How many wedding rings are you going to find here?"
No surprises about sand for me. It should be kept in those little glass egg timers. It's good for cooking eggs; that's all.
Back to the writing! In other news, I luuuuuuuuuuuuuuurve this keyboard. ::le happy sigh::

I'll have to skedaddle over to this porn battle arena and have a look-see.

Okey dokey, then, I'll see what I can find!
