Stuff is haaard

Why is it that every time I try to do something that should be simple it turns out to be a major pain in the ass? Is it just me? Does this happen to other people?

I got an assignment yesterday to architect an emailing system for our web app. I just wanted to make a quick test project that sent messages to a queue where a message driven bean would pick them up and fire off the emails asynchronously. Is that too much to ask? So, I fired up Eclipse with the web tools project plug in and tried to create a simple EJB project and it gave me a stupid version error every time. Grrrrr............ Looks like there's a bug in the WTP plug in. I guess that's what happens with version 0.7, eh?

Ok, probably 1% of the population had any idea what I just said... :)

Let's go with something easier to comprehend, TV! Amazing Race was last night. Once again, it was so boring that I can't even remember who got eliminated or what they did. And yet, I continue to watch every week? Stupid? Lazy? You pick and let me know.

Boston Legal was funny as usual. James Spader doing his Music Man routine adapting it to sing about farm raised salmon, in a crowded restaurant was hillareous...

I couldn't quite stay up for the entire baseball game last night either. I went to bed and attempted to watch the conclusion there, but of course, we have the new bed and I fell asleep within 30 seconds.

Speaking of the new Select Comfort bed (shameless plug, maybe Google will pick that up and provide me some ads for them), the first couple weeks I wasn't sure I really liked it, but now that I have found my "number" (30, by the way, I like it nice and soft, wait, that doesn't sound right), I am sleeping like a baby. Lie down, out like a light, wake up when the alarm goes off. Amazing.

Well, back to architecting my bean... haha, that sounds funny.
