After 15 years I finally decided to come to homecoming. I am really looking forward to it but I forgot how COLD it can get so early in the morning for tailgating. Wish them luck at the game!! And wish me luck having the patience to drive and fight in traffic to get there :-)

I hope everyone has an awesome week. I have to fly to NY for work this week. The weather change is going to be something for the first couple of days but I am hoping to see some of my co-workers from an older project.

| The meeting that made my week |
[Friday, October 30th, 2009 @ 4:39pm] |
I was in a meeting today that was just awesome. It was perfect on so many levels. There is this HUGE program at work and I am the tech lead on only a part of it. We are all interconnected at some point. So I have been working on finalizing some documentation on a file layout and contents with another sister project.
So we have had heated meetings on this lay. We have gone back and forth on this layout. We have it finalized. Or to the point, I am done talking about it. That was all in preparation for talking with one of the developers to let him know what he has to do to fulfill my requirements. It was made out to be a big deal and K just needed to know and he was worried blah blah.
We get in this meeting and it is one 30 minutes. I was going to talk through the layout and see if he had any questions. Of course K being himself takes the opportunity to let his project know how he feels about being left out of the discussions. He was an main component of another project. He should be at the table. It was HILARIOUS. So instead of talking and him asking questions, I could have just sent it over and said, 'Give this to me'. That is what I wanted to do ANYWAY but my sister project didn't feel comfortable. That meeting could have happened internally within their stream. They did not need my resources there to hear it. They didn't need another project lead there to hear it. But really that just MADE MY WEEK.

I mean really. If you are going to copy something and not just copy but completely redo it, at least let it be something interesting. It started with 90210. Now we have Melrose place. And coming soon we will have 'V'. The first time I saw the commercial I thought it was a remake but I wasn't sure. But I know for sure now since SiFi is going to run the marathon before the new show starts. And I will admit that I was hooked the first time around. And not only television shows but movies as well. They remade 'The Italian Job', 'Parent Trap' but at least they had a little twist to them. They brought them up to a new level. But the one that I was thinking about last night was 'The Goonies'.
They were playing it on AMC Family and I just couldn't stop laughing. Just imagine the type of special effects they could use this time around. What other shows or movies would you like to see remade or brought back to life (I should say)?

Okay I can honestly say that Maxwell is totally 'SEX ON LEGS'. He is just gorgeous and his performance on his tore is just awesome. He was here in Charlotte on Tuesday night.
But never in my life have I seen someone faint at a concert just by being close to the performer. Now back in the day (I am going to tell my age) people would get dizzy at hip-hop concerts just because of the heat and everyone trying to get to the stage. But this person looked like she had a clear view and path to him. He leaned close to the edge of the stage and reached down. The next thing you knew, people were getting out of the way because 'someone actually fainted'. I am going to figure out how to post the pictures I took later when I figure out my new camera.

I just came from the one of the BEST if not the BEST wedding ever. It was for a great couple. And the night was just about fun. Anybody will tell you that I don't dance at weddings but I HIT the dance floor. It was just awesome. New lease on life coming through.

Okay, now I grew up on CBS soaps. We would run home from the bus stop to watch the second half of As the World Turns and Guidling Light. I think I remember when Reba Shane showed up in Springfield. That might tell you how old I am. But I can honestly say that I have not watched daytime religously for YEARS. I mean I turned to GH to watch Carly and Jason. And I kindof came back when they started to play with Evangeline and Todd. But nothing has really kept my attention.
So I thought I would watch the very last episode of GL. I can honestly say that I think they did a very good job. There were some 'couples' that I saw today that I was SO confused. I remember major back stories and there were some I would have NEVER SAW coming. But whatever, I don't write. I wish I did from time to time but that is why people make the big bucks.
I have seen a couple of shows end. Sunset Beach, Passions, Capital, Ryan Hope (you name it) but I can honestly say that I didn't see the end of GL coming. There had been rumors and when the final annoucement was made, it was still so far off in my mind. But today the day came. I can honestly say that it WILL be missed. My mother for one is not a very happy person now.
