Macroeconomics in relation to accounting is boring but in relation to other ideas looks to be quite interesting. This might be a ramble considering I've been up way way too long and am not getting any real sleep soon since I have to be up in 2 hours. So what I've been reading lately, economics in relation to logic and reasoning is fascinating to me because one of my favorite classes was logic, i could wrap my head around it and it made perfect sense to me. Then again I love grammer and disecting a sentence into its components. Anyways, back to my thoughts about economics, interestly enough Economics is a social science that studies human behavior and welfare as a relationship between ends socially required and scarce means which have alternative uses - now if they had told me that when I was studying accounting, I might have been more interested. So the logical aspect of economic models which makes complete sense to me, the process of reasoning within the economic model, ok where was I going with this...the simple logic and economics theory - inductive reasoning—the study of deriving a reliable generalization from observations of economics - now that makes sense. And moving forward through the logic topic, the philosophical logic theory that language is based on logical theory and semantics of that logic within that a language model and in turn an economic model or structure of human behavior.
these are thoughts floating around in my head and now i must go find my book on semantics and then a nap.

I bought this cute book called Furry Logic: A Guide to Life's Little Challenges - it totally made me laugh while I was flipping through it, go out and buy one, it will make your day and the illustrations make it even better
today's and tommorrow's(because tommorrow I have to focus on work) furry logic:
I want it all and I want it delivered
I try to take one day at a time but sometimes several days attack me at once

lets see if this works, thought I'd add a currently reading/currently listening to list via a blogroll, that's kind of cool, yep I've been so busy with other things completely forgot about some of the cool radio features although it always seems to take me a few tries to get it just right...forgot how to get a blogroll to single space..hmmm
so blogroll cool idea but I didn't want to mess around with the CSS codes tonight, so lets try a table inside a table instead with basic black font - cool that looks much better.
a little template update..adding more color and design..ick pink does not work..lets try chocolate....like it better, switched around colors..maybe this will add some lightness..
what do you think? too dark? just right? any thoughts out there?

I finally remembered what I logged in yesterday to blog about...
When I'm really like someone, I get nervous and start to talk alot about me - not all together stupid things but some things that should really be left to after knowing me for a year or so. My guess is that I do that so I don't get hurt because if you know everything about me all at once - its all there in the open, which is a stupid way to go about letting someone know who I really am, what my passions are, how I think because I'm actually pushing them away by letting it all out all at once. I need to remember to leave a little mystery, so someone I like can get to know me, the real me, the passionate, sexy me. And not force everything out now but to be natural and goes with the flow, let the magick happen.
The thing is I'm not like that with my clients - they see this really assertive, confident woman and I don't tell them my whole life story all in one burst and actually I don't tell them alot about me in general.
So why the hell do I do that with someone I'm attracted to? I think part of me is afraid of getting hurt so I just blurt it all out in one burst and if you still like me and still would like to know me more then you're ok. Now that I'm writing this out, it all makes sense. I need to stop it. I need to just be me, the sexy confident assertive woman that I am.
I met someone recently that I really like and he thinks that we're not a good fit for a relationship and I wonder if its because I said too much or did too much and he wants someone with a mystery to discover. And maybe he'll tell me why he doesn't think we're a good fit because I think that there is something more to learn about him and I really like him. And honestly I told him about my past which I probably shouldn't have - but I was nervous and really attracted to him. And I hope he gives me the chance to get to know the sexy confident assertive woman that I am today, not the past, but today.

I just watched this really good movie, Animal with Ving Jhames, about changing attitudes in the hood. Its not one of those movies that's mainstream but it looked good to me tonight. They talked about the book MalcolmX, I've never read it but now its something I'd like to. It was kind of sad at the end.

wow, blogger code is really different, it uses alot of CSS codes, it like finding a needle in a haystack if you're looking for one thing to change..anyways, I'm not going anywhere with this blog but one of my other blogs is moving there shortly, just got the new template design up and running. In theory, I guess I could have just created another category here and moved my 3rd other blog over but I like to keep it all separated in some wierd chaotic way. Its always good to learn new formats as I get more and more personalized blog skin designs coming my way..

mmmmmmmmm...that's how I'd describe my date last night, definetly yummy, very kissable in so many ways. Many things in common which is so nice to have with someone and I was really comfortable around him, definetly a vibe there and there is something so sexy about a guy playing a guitar, definetly want to see him again
and he got me thinking about a couple of things
- politics, I never really talk about that here and I wanted to keep this blog a mainly non-political basis because for one I believe there are many political blogs out there already and I think I'm probably somewhere in the middle anyways. I do believe in certain issues, like that prop 73 - I didn't get a chance to vote but damn am I glad it got defeated. WTF was he thinking - did we want more kids with kids and on welfare? So I do have opinions and I occasionally do watch the news if I get home in time but I'm not sure I get the whole left vs right thing. Although I do have one or two policital blogs as links
-new music, I was curious about his favorite band - Symphony X - so I went and checked it out today, I really like it. And I need a new ringtone for my phone yet I can't decide which song I like the most, although I think I'm leaning towards Smoke and Mirrors - its either one of the songs or possibly the monster mash, that would be funny.

i was driving forever yesterday(2.5 hours just to get home) and a thought popped into my head, I wonder who has dot.com or net.net or org.org, wonder if someone thought of something brillant for those web addresses, so I checked this morning and the results are:
- dot.com > forwards to austin.com (boring)
- net.net > this is still available
- org.org > goes to some directory with pictures of a wooden model car (there's not even an index page to tell you what it is)
and to check the order extensions out there to be fair in the research, the following was found
- us.us > goes nowhere
- biz.biz > goes nowhere
- info.info > fowards to a domain registry
- ws.ws > forwards to another domain registry (they have a cool page)
- most of the country codes > go nowhere
- gov.gov > forwards to US Government Official Website
- edu.edu > goes to a secure website you need a password to log on
did I miss any?

As I arrive home, the cats are still silently holding a vigilant across from the washing machine closet, I almost trip over Baby Kitty in the darken hallway. As I began to feed them, they move to holding vigilant in front of the keyboard stand, not even interested in their food. I'm thinking to myself, I didn't see that mouse run across the floor, they must be imagining a shadow of a mouse ghost long past. And then they check out the space besides the computer and I think, oh no, what did they trap in that tiny space. I look down and poke around and on no, there is this huge squishy thing besides the computer. I wonder damn, what did they trap and what died down there, ick. I manage to fish out the dead squishy thing thinking I'm going to gag when it rises from that deep dark corner on the end of my stick only to discover my beanie baby.
Whew, it really is an imaginary toy they are trying to get to, climbing over my CD boombox and into the depths of the keyboard box and then.........
turtle appears to found it somewhere else, her butt sticking out of the blanket and then.............
I see it. Oh my god, that is not an imaginary toy, that is not a little field mouse, that is a really BIG RAT with a REALLY LONG TAIL. And its tearing across the floor at an ungodly speed trying to get away from turtle. The other cats see it and go chasing after it. I run to the kitchen, thinking what the hell can I catch this thing in, I do not want it in my house, I do not want the carcass in my house and I sure as hell don't want to see them eat it. Nothing, I have no idea what to do except make sure it does not go behind the PC again. I block the way to the PC with a pillows both directions. The rat runs across my feet and I scream, it ducts under the printer stand and shoots across to the art table, behind the drawers and all is quiet. Turtle tries to get to it, gives up and goes back outside. Mouse wanders away too, she's no longer interested.
I don't think so, they brought in, they need to take it out. I move the drawers, i move all obstacles out of the way, call the cats back in and what does the rat do, runs in the opposite direction back towards the desk, climbs over the pillow barricades and back behind the computer. Damn, now I'm going to have to shutdown the computer and pull everything out and as I do, the RAT runs across my hand, another scream and then I'm calm as the RAT tears across the living room floor towards the bedroom.
Damn, I did not want that thing in my bedroom under the bed while I sleep, no way. The cats trapped it behind the laundry basket. I scooped up a box with the intention of scooping it into the box and taking it outside. But it had another ideas. As I move the laundry basket, the Rat when scurrying at top speed towards the bedroom and head into Turtle, it leaped over her and flew out the front door, like a bat out of hell. Oh thank god.
Turtle, Baby Kitty and Mouse have the rat cornered in the bushes, each standing guard and I think the poor little thing is now playing dead hoping and praying that the big mean cats go away. They are each silently standing guard over the ivy looking completely innocent and yet they are on a mission to capture their prize.
As long as it doesn't come back into the house, all is well.

My horoscope for today: Today, JULIE, you may feel a passionate attraction for someone who's very intelligent, and perhaps makes a living in a field such as law, education, or publishing. Conversations with this person today could touch upon some very deep issues, such as spiritual matters, the human psyche, or the nature of the Universe. You should walk away feeling deeply affected, not only by the person, but by the subjects discussed. Take a walk to clear your head.
Well, I didn't meet anyone that touched upon deep issues but I actually got response from 2 men I emailed and finally figured out this match.com thing and finally found some guys I might be interested in...first change I made was to put I live in SF (for some reason putting I lived in Vallejo seemed to get me matches from hell) and I'm in SF most of the time anyways. I was thinking of changing my age to 33 which might get more responses too but decided not too. And I emailed at least 5 guys tonight.
In retrospect, I did talk to one my clients today who told me he'd loan me the money I need to put a down payment on a house but it funny, they have to spend the cash in their account by the end of the year because they are an S corp, I told him I didn't neccessarily want a loan, he could just give me a 50K bonus that would help me and help them, then he made a comment about having my house as a satellite office and then the 50K would just be rent for a few years...hell, if it gets me closer to owning a house sure but I don't want to pay it back although something tells me I'd end up paying the taxes on it. He said he'd think about it and they could ask the CPA about it on Monday, very interesting.
All in all today was a great day. I got a new Zen alarm clock which wakes me up gradually allowing for me to finish my dreams and even though I only got 6 hours of sleep last night, I don't feel groggy like i normally do, so the clock, great investment for me.
And although I didn't meet anyone today that rock my world, I don't feel terrible. I will find that one person that I just click with and he clicks with me, I just have to keep remembering everything happens for a reason. Sort of just like I'm freezing because the cats are all outside and won't come in :( but its all good, life happens and it will work itself out.
Tommorrow, I'm off on a treasure hunt of sorts, I am leaving my house and doing something fun

i tried to post this last night but it didn't work, so its a repost.....i have nothing to talk about..so lets try a random free writing data dump for the night because I probably have alot swimming around in my head and don't even know it. Baby Kitty and Turtle seemed to have misplaced a mouse, they have been guarding the laundry door now for three days, but wouldn't you if you saw the chance to get away, run under the nearest thing that the cats couldn't get to. I would. I went out on a date the other night and I told him I probably wouldn't blog about him but damn I blog, its life and here it goes..I had a good time but I didn't get that vibe. We kissed and he said that he'd invite me back to his place but I couldn't since I needed to go home and feed the cats. I mean really I just wanted to go home and feed the cats, no vibe there whatsoever. I told him to call Saturday but honestly I'm praying for 2 things: rain and him not to call because if it rains we can't go hiking. He was a nice guy but I just didn't feel it. And I realized something else too, I don't particulary like skinny little guys. And then I think maybe i'm forever going to be alone, i swear by this point in my life you'd think i'd have met the right person that wants to be with me, WTF am i doing wrong anyways? I tried to hard, pushes them away. I do the opposite and let them do their own thing, nada. I just be me, nada. WTF? Ok, maybe that's not completely true. I was hit on by a very sexy man who happens to be one a client and two married, so maybe I am doing something right and in all honesty, I never had any idea about this guy except that he is hot. So I just need to find someone that likes me for me and can rock my world but where the hell is he? defintely not on match.com and not on nerve either for that matter. oh god, its out of my head, thank god. work..ah big subject, i think i might be burned out a little on accounting, yesterday i took the day off and did no work, actually i didn't do a whole lot yesterday except kinda of space out. It was so nice not to do anything. I think I need a vacation and to hire someone with a little more experience..so I checked out the average salary for an accounting clerk about 18/hour or 37K per year, that's not bad and its doable I think. I already pay my current employee 15/hr so if i get any more business and before my head explodes, I'm going to need to hire another body. working out..somehow that got pushed aside and I was doing really good on my diet and then bam, i wanted something gooey and fatting and good. so next week, back to the gym. You think i'd have some motivation, my trainer is sexy. my time management skills suck, i need to figure out how to get up earlier in the morning but for some reason right now at midnight, I'm wide awake, i get that second wind and I'm good to go til 3am which screws me up cuz i need 8 hours of sleep everynight and then a couple of hours to get going in the morning and then i'm not out the door before 1pm everyday. Actually i'm tired right now, so bed soon. so what else is rambling in my head - i've been avoiding doing this bank recs for 2 months now, i know i need to do them but its all i ever do anymore, bank recs one client, next client, next client and its a forver endless loop, yes I need a vacation and I wish i could wear sweats to work, don't you?
Saturday, I'm off on a treasure hunt for the old Bryon Hot Springs Hotel, anyone know any history on that? I love history and oh yes, I won't be home if he calls, I'll be out and about and getting out of the house for a day away from work, yeah!!

interesting i created a typepad account just to figure out how to design a theme for a friend and discovered a few things:
- the 30 day free trial really isn't free, you still have to put in your credit card information before they will even create an account for you
- you can't design your own themes unless you pay for the pro version which is 89.50/year
- and the basic version which you can't design your own themes for is 49.50/year (radio's cheaper)
- and you can't ftp the basic version anywhere, you can export posts but not ftp to another hosting site
so why do people want to use typepad instead of radio? because you can create your own domain names? is that the only benefit? I think Userland is thinking about doing that in the future, the whole number thing is kinda of confusing but then again with Radio you can ftp your blog to your own host and your own domain name.
now if you have Radio, you can:
- design your own themes
- its only 40/year
- you can ftp it to your own host
- and its one version - there aren't different levels of radio - its all included
- you can download the trial version, try if out for free and then pay for it
so I guess I'll have the design the theme for my friend here on my site and then convince her to switch, it would save her some money and she can use the design i'm going to create for her.
