Common list of feature requests for Radio (Jake take note). [Scripting News]
Add to the wish list...is the improved user interface for news items such as the one for Manila see Jake's mock-up
I think the Google bar link instructions could be made more user-friendly...just a thought...maybe I'll add to my newbie tips.
Another feature to add to the wish list...comments on stories: update: adding comments to stories or anywhere there isn't a comment link has already been addressed..I could just never figured out where to look in the Radio documentation for it but thanks to JY - here's the link http://radio.userland.com/commentOnThisPage (it works, yeah!!!)

I was randomly checking out properties on the east coast..anything from within 60 miles of Boston and up to $300,000.
You'll never believe how much this house is on the market for: $199,900...WOW!!
3 bedrooms, 2 baths..although its so big, I'm sure there is another room or two that could be a bedroom or studio...... I would love to buy this house and I could actually afford it...ok, I agree with anyone..it probably needs a little TLC and paint..but in my wildest dreams, I could never afford a house like this one in California unless I happened to have a million or two to spare. I actually don't think I know anyone that could afford a house like this in California.
What else is cool..its only 42 miles from Boston..totally cool as I currently commute an 1.5 hours to my job in the city (San Francisco) and honestly could never afford to buy a house in my neighborhood. I work with people that commute 2 hrs, 3 hrs, 6 hrs away from our office because they can't afford to buy anything closer and we all make pretty good money. And I refuse to live further than where I am currently to commute to work..I have a life outside of work and commute.
I would totally be willing to commute 42 miles to a job if I owned a house like this one...
new information 6/18/03, the reason this is so cheap and may be only 42 miles from Boston on a map, is that it takes 2 hours to get there..there is no straight shot to this location from Boston...

Did you know that Clartin-D (the allergy medicine) can be used to make crack? Now the only reason I know this now is that I tried to buy a month's worth of my allergy medicine and they would only sell me 2 packages, 10 pills for $12.99 which is more expensive than if my doctor prescribed a 30 day supply and here's the funny thing..they would gladly sell me a prescription for a 30 day supply. Do I look like a drug dealer or something? Don't answer that..seriously though...I think you would need a lot more than 30 pills to make the crack..why can't they have the limit at 3 packs or sell the damn things in 30 day supplies.
I changed my title to Julie's Magick 'Blog yesterday because I wanted my blog to have a more serious tone but then I realized it does have a serious tone..its all about me, who I am and Sexy Magick is not about sex..so I've changed it back to Julie's Sexy Magick 'Blog..always go with your gut instinct..

a kiss upon the secret winds of Isis Wynn...the sexy magick waves of mystery
only a fool would give up the chance to seek the truth, explore the wonders of a world unknown, a coast a world away yet so close and the chance to know someone face to face
a kiss in the night, a story untold yet waiting to be discovered, a history of past lives all waiting for the writer to see, discover and feel the passion

Out of the mouths of babe's ...ever spoken and wished that you could take the words back...or that you could crawl into a hole? Here are a few people who do....
I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow and asked loudly, How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?" I turned around and walked back out and never went back. My husband didn't say a word ... he knew better.
I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls. I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using. After browsing for several minutes, I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who worked at the store. He asked if he could help me. Without thinking, I looked at him and said, "I think I like playing with men's balls."
My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a variety of nuts. As we were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help.I replied, "No, I'm just looking at your nuts."
My sister started to laugh hysterically, the boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away. To this day, my sister has never let me forget.
While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided to release some pent-up energy and ran amok. I was finally able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from other patrons. I told her that if she did not start behaving "right now" she would be punished.
To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening, "If you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma that I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!"
The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange. Even the tellers stopped what they were doing.
I mustered up the last of my dignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow. The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me were screams of laughter.
Have you ever asked your child a question too many times? My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, and she was clean. Then I realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in a while, so I asked him if he needed to go, and
he said "No."
I kept thinking, "Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me." Then I said, "Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?" "No," he replied. I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse. Soooooo! I asked one more time, "Danny, did you have an accident?" This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over and spread his cheeks and yelled. "SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!"
While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down. An old couple made me feel better by thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!
This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, in the future, likely think before she speaks. What happens when you predict snow but don't get any....a true story... We had a female news anchor who, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked: "So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?
"Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too they were laughing so hard!

I don't watch the news and haven't really wanted to watch anything to do with the war, mainly because its just depressing and I'd rather not live my life around depressing events. Its not that I don't care. Its just that they are so many other things to do and happier things to see.
However last night I was flipping through the channels and caught the news piece on the Baghdad's zoo and the forgotten animals...so sad. These animals are dying with no food and water. The only people helping are Kuwait..what about all the organizations around the world that help animals..why can't they get a transport to the zoo and move the animals at least temporarily?
"Non-governmental organizations are inquiring about helping, Fikes said, but Baghdad is not yet secure enough for them."
Forget about inquiring..do something!! Action is required otherwise the animals will die. The pictures last night were so sad..lethargic bears and lions..slowly dying because of inaction.

My horoscopes for today 4-19-03...which really is quite weird only in the sense that this is just what I was thinking last night about my life.
There are two horoscopes because I'm a gemini/taurus born right between...imagine stubborn twins.
Gemini: There's no law saying that you have to remain here. If your exit goes unnoticed, these people aren't worth your time. Find a new arena to demonstrate your potential.
Taurus: Accept the gift only if you trust the giver. As long as you're not starving, you can hold out for the perfect taste experience. Pay attention to your inner voice. The truth is closer than you think.

Today was a good day at work. My boss was out of town. The newly appointed ops manager told me to just get to work by 10am and then told me to go home early..that its Friday and time to unwind and let it all go. Finally, someone let me be me.
I still feel the intense dislike surrounding me in the office by a few people and I was incredibly bored most of the morning but then I got to do work not related to accounting and felt free for the first time in months..all in all..it was a better day than usual.
I am still looking for a job/career change. I'm not going out of my way to help anyone anymore - no more planning the monthly socials..they want to do it, go for it. And I've realized something..there is nothing holding me in California. My parents don't live here. I have a few friends but hardly ever see them. My sister lives here but we hardly ever see each other and she can visit wherever I go. And I'll never be able to afford to buy a house here..so why do I stay? because I don't want to move the cats unless I'm moving into a house I bought..stupid reason...so....
Its time to change, dream a little and find something new to experience...find myself again..

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people stay for awhile, and give us a deeper understanding of what is truly important in this life. They touch our souls. We gain strength from the footprints they have left on our hearts, and we will never ever be the same
Friends know the things we dream of and the things we'll never be. Real friendship dwells in the heart, where time and distance know no boundaries. It understands the depth of true feelings and the sound of words unspoken.
Never be afraid to dream, for the simplest dream can take you where your heart yearns to go. And if you believe hard enough and dare to dream, watch what happens

...its actually harder to write a story based on a concept in your head then it is to write feelings and experiences that weave themselves into a story line.
I'm trying to write this story based on a concept in my head however I don't have the experience of a guy's reaction because I've never done this to a guy...so I asked 3 of my guy friends for help...based on a question with three possible answers..only one helped out. The other two never answered their emails(by the way if you two actually are reading this..its just an idea, I would never act on it..I'm too shy to follow through)..so I ended up resorting to asking two of my single male co-workers their opinions and now they know me a lot more than they ever did before...
However, if anyone would like to provide feedback with comments..please help.
The question: If someone you were interested in, came up to you while you were with a group of friends and whispered in your ear about what she wanted to do to you, would you:
a) blush
b) kiss her
c) "you fill in the blanks"
Scenario 1: you are sober
Scenario 2: you have had a few drinks
Scenario 3: you have never met this person but have seen her picture and talked to her online or on the phone..
I've gotten some interesting answers so far...all basically the same answers from 3 different guys in their 30's..

I'm still in this funky mood..I can't quite figured out why I'm so angry..I need to figure it out..I need to find my happy place again..
I'm not sure if its related to my job - although I think that is part of the problem..yesterday I worked my butt off getting the sales tax done for the quarter and my boss questioned my work and wants to doublecheck it...he has never questioned it before.
I had two days off due to back injury and had a doctor's note to stay home even though I was suppose to rest, I was bored so I did about 10 hrs worth of work over the course of those two days and had to haggle with him about paying me for one and giving me a sick day for the second one...why is it so hard? Why doesn't he believe me anymore? I almost quit yesterday...I figured it I had to hassle with him over sick time..why bother with this crap..
Although maybe the funk is related to...I can't just quit..I don't have any money saved especially since my medical insurance through work sucks and I've been paying out of pocket costs for all my medical bills related to my back injury. I'm broke until next payday..
I'm bored and angry at my boss and job. I'm in a funk, my personal life is weird..I can't quite make a connection to anyone and I'm angry alot...I'm tired..
Two things I know I need: (1) vacation (2) new job

If I knock on your door, would you let me in?
Possibilities beginning...sharing innermost sexual desires...
but....I want to know the real you..the quiet you..
the curl up and read a good book you
the writer...the actor...
and even the everyday you
I want to find the sweet desire within you
I want to share conversations about everyday happenings
I want to find out who you are...
possible connections...are you just like me?
the quiet me, the curl up and read me, the writer...
the everyday go to work and not like my job me...
is there still a chance to kiss just once
or did you close the door?

I'm sitting here not knowing exactly what I'm feeling..
1. I need to decide what I want to do with my life..do I stay in a job that I don't like but am good at or do follow my original dreams..I am an English major...I love language and words..do I try to follow that dream and possibly start over in another industry which might mean moving..or do I stay in telecommunciations and/or information technology?
2. I feel a loss..with a friend...I feel a great connection between us but I'm not sure what he is feeling and he won't return my emails so I guess that's it...was I a fool to even began the relationship we started? Deep in my heart of hearts, I think there is something special about him and would love the chance to get to know him better if he'll let me in.
3. Time again and again, I try to move forward and fall 2 steps back.....where do I go from here....I guess I need to make some decisions and figure out where I want my life to go, to be...hide my tears, hide my fears and start over...I feel as though I'm always starting over..maybe I'm trying to hard..maybe I should just let go and be...
Back to real life..pay the bills, exercise, work and sleep...

I always find these really interesting blogs about Radio and how to do create navigator links or created a blogroll, newbie faqs, etc.. and then I save them in my favorites in IE..however I can never find exactly what I'm looking for again without alot of searching..so to help myself, I figured why not setup a category to list all of my various links. Now I can describe the links and have a reference to what I need and why I liked these sites. If I could figured out mysubscriptions blogroll and put it on my site..it would be easier..however this idea/workaround works for me...so here it is..now I can clean out my favorites on IE.

This is a story written by a friend, Pete Nilsson..I keep telling him he needs a weblog. Explore the Wonders is kinda of surreal and melancholy story but when you get to the end..it all makes sense.

I now understand why I don't have that many girlfriends. Girls can be total utter bitches..for lack of a better word. Girls backstab in order to get ahead or make themselves look better. Girls will put another girl down just to pretend that she isn't jealous of them. Girls pretend to be there for you, pretend to be your friend and then turn around and put you down.
Guys aren't like this or at least the guys I've met in my life and the ones that are my friends. Guys will tell you straight out how it is. I've never had a guy friend that has backstabbed me in order to get ahead in life. Guys would never pretend to be your friend - either they are or aren't.
I came to this realization yesterday, a supposely good friend of mine who has been there for me or possibly has just pretended to be there for me, totally put down my dating issues in front of everyone at work. She said that I've been dating all the wrong guys...why do I continue to date geeks? This came about yesterday when this guy emailed me and I saw his picture and no attraction but we also have nothing in common and I didn't want to hurt his feelings and I just asked her opinion on the subject. She got everyone involved in the conversation, all the women starting putting me down and telling me that I date the wrong guys. And the only person who stood up for me, was a guy!
Now the question is: are they jealous because I actually have dates and they don't? I need to be physically attracted to someone but also I need that someone to be smart enough to hold a conversation with me. Therein lies the problem with this girl - she would never date any of the same guys I date because one I doubt she is that smart and two we are two different people.
I've been told that she has said bad things about some of my work in a sales meeting in order to make herself look better..I let this one pass. But I think from now on..no more confiding in her for anything.
She has also been so clinging to the point that I'm scared of why she is like that. She did something to a friend that truly pissed me off and I guess I should have seen it then but I wanted to have a real girlfriend in my life..no more.
I'll stick with having guy friends..they are much more honest

I tend to put my whole heart into building a relationship with someone but that is just who I am which I think tends to freak out some people..but life is about chances.
I still want to meet "t", I still want to see if the potential of a real connection is there..but as a friend was saying (occasionally I need guy advice from a guy) that maybe he is freaked out by the distance thing. I agree - we live really really far apart but the thing that struck me about "t" in the beginning was what he said "because maybe, just maybe, we'll love life just a little more for knowing each other"

If you like cool fade effects, great graphics and good music...check out Smile Divine's site which has samples of their new demo, Smart and Horny. Roger, the guitarist is sounding great and they just got a new bass player which really helps bring out the sound of the drums. I personally think they are more hard rock with a little punk influence.. Tom's voice is getting better. My favorite so far is "Soon to Smile" although "This is for Lover's" sounds more like some of their original songs Fantastic Automatic. I might have more favorites soon..as I waiting for a copy of their demo CD from their manager who said they should be playing live somewhere soon..can't wait to see them play live

1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you. (My mom said she had this inscribed on my step-father's watch when they were married - which is totally cool)
2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry. (i think i need to remember this)
3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. (i know..sometimes people are only meant to be friends)
4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.(see #3)
5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them. (i completely agree..it makes it harder to let go)
6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.
9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful. (question for god or whoever...when am I going to stop meeting the wrong people?)
10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around. (easier said than done)
12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.
13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you! least expect them to. (this is my new objective..stop trying so hard and see what happens)
REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

The rainstorm last night was beautiful..did you hear the thunderstorm? It was like the whole sky was splitting in two and roaring in the early morning hours.
My cats were terrified of the noise but when they are scared they come and snuggle up with me..which is a bonus when you're cold.
It must have been a beautiful sight..if it wasn't at 2 in the morning, I would have gotten up to see the roaring sky and the belting rain.

Random thoughts popping up in my head tonight..relaxed enough to write..hmmm...
Random Thought #1..work was better today..this isn't funny but my boss got knocked in the head by something in our warehouse and had to go to the emergency room..I'm glad he is ok but not incredibly sorry that it happened..what goes around comes around..the reason being - is that my back is out, I can't feel the from my waist down..feels like pins and needles everywhere or frostbite and he could care less..just wants me in the office at 9am...I really should be home in bed resting..and definetly shouldn't be driving considering I can sort of feel my feet (they are heavy)...what really sucks..I was exercising when I did this to myself.
Random Thought #2 - if you like punk music...you've got to check out this new band...Smile Divine...their music is getting better and I think they are going to play live soon.
Random Thought #3 - I wonder how Sole Redemption is doing...haven't heard if they have a website yet or have gotten any gigs or started their demo...if anyone has any news (you know who you are)...let me know..I can't wait to hear you play live.

Saw something interesting on TV last night..on the show "Judging Amy" as I was half listening to it and half talking to someone online...I heard them mention a weblog..first time for everything. I know that when Cisco introduced their new IP phones a couple of years back, they were everywhere on TV and in the movies.. are weblogs are going mainstream? ...just an interesting observation..up until a couple of months ago, I'd never heard of them but then again I probably never paid that much attention to the whole concept (alot of my friends tell me that I'm in my own world alot and just don't pay attention to people or things) however I'm very happy that I was introduced to the concept..its opened up possibilities that I never imaged..a place to share my opinions, stories and just my daily life with the outside world..(and its not that I live in my own world - its just I usually have a million thoughts going on at once that its sometimes distracting to pay attention :) ) So I wonder will I now start seeing weblogs on every TV show..or at least the more serious ones...will they start popping up in movies too...will have to wait and see
