I just got my new Mac up and running. Thank you to Desi for giving it to us. We greatly appreciate it!
I still need to upgrade to OS X, but I'll do that next week. I'm excited to play around with it. My computer room is getting full! Still looking to add another PC, so Courtney and I can play There together. But now there is no rush, this way Courtney can look at his comic strips without annoying me. :)
If you've seen the dancing kittens shorts on VH1 I love the 80's shows, you're in for a treat. Check out this site: rathergood.com
KICK ass funny shit.
So wandering the internet looking for new tunes, I came across O.A.R. Gotta check 'em out. I know that some of you may think that all I listen too is chic music, but this band is one that the guys will love also. For real people. I don't get on the bandwagon for new bands often, but this is one worth paying $17.95 for. And they are going to blow up very soon!
Their new album comes out 5/27, In Between Now and Then. RUN to the store and get this one.
If you can't wait, you can hear the whole album on VH1.com. So you know that if the corporate machine that is VH1 has gotten it, it's going to be a hit.
I love this song by School of Fish, "Three Strange Days"...it just rocks. I discovered the band when I was living in San Diego back in '91. This song just spoke to me...my friend Joey and I used to sing it at the top of our lungs. I'm going to upload it to my radio station soon along with some of my other all-time favs. Keep checking back for the list!
I've been trying to add the BlogRolling feature to this site for the last week. It's not working for some reason. If you have ideas as to why it's not working, let me know. I've got two emails into the support admin, but no response yet.
Has anyone watched the new show Surf Girls yet? Gotta check it out. I attempted to surf a few times when I lived in San Diego. I suck, I never admitted that I was any good. I think if hadn't started out so old, surfing is a sport I could have really stuck with. The guys I used to hang out with out there, Baghead, used to take me surfing with them. I would get a suit on and swim out into the cold, freezing water to take pictures or video of them. I hated that, I was usually hung over, and like I said the water was freezing!
So check out the show. One chic already gave up, we have a crier, and one went home to be with her illing father.
Here is my first entry to the Friday Five:
1. What drinking water do you prefer -- tap, bottle, purifier, etc.?
After living in Arizona for the last seventeen years, bottled has become a way of live. Our water system sucks, kids have died from drinking it. If i have my choice of bottled water, I prefer Figi or really cold Dasani.
2. What are your favorite flavor of chips?
Pringles Plain. Just the right amount of salt. I also like Lays, I sift through the bag for the biggest chip.
3. Of all the things you can cook, what dish do you like the most?
Wrong question to ask am anal chef like myself. I guess the one dish I love is Salmon with homemade cream corn and sauteed spinach. My boyfriend makes it better than I do. It's his recipe.
4. How do you have your eggs?
Over easy with bacon, hash browns, and sourdough toast with butter and a thin coat of strawberry jelly.
5. Who was the last person who cooked you a meal? How did it turn out?
My boyfriend, he's a chef also. He uses my recipes and it always turns out good!
I got an email yesterday from Live365.com. They are changing their formats and billing starting June 1st. They have decided that they can make $$ from limiting the streams. So I am looking for a new host, or buying my own server. I know that I'll be happy with my own server, but I'm not sure I want to spend that much on this hobby. I'll let you know of the changes as soon as I can decide what to do. For now nothing changes.
So I get a letter in the mail yesterday from my step-monster. She wants to start distrubuting the estate. Cool. I read on, she has arranged for a notary/accountant to oversee the process. Ok....the letter further states that the division of personal property will be done at FREAKIN storage facility. How am I suppose to feel at this point? She is basically telling me that you're not welcome in the home that you grew up in and the place where your father took his last breath. That just makes me so mad, that I am becoming indifferent about the whole deal. It's obvious that my feelings don't account for shit in this whole deal. She could care less about me. And she expects me to include her in my life? I don't think so. I don't want her coming anywhere near my kids if I have any. I don't want her to attend my wedding when/if that happens. It's crap like this that pushes me further away. I don't need it and I don't have to put up with it.
Ok I'm bored of this layout. So v4.0 will be coming out soon. If you have ideas or suggestions, post them in the forums. I'd like to hear what you have to say.
Dude, so i've been playing the BlogShares game, and I spent all day at work reading, buying and selling blogs. Now it's 915pm and I'm at home still absorbed in the game!
I've come across some really cool blogs, and some pretty lame ones. TIP: content should be interesting PEOPLE!!! There are some pretty lame blogs out there. Lame content, lame designs. I know that my blog may not be be heavy in design, but that wasn't what I was going for. I wanted something easy to look at, something that gives readers access to information quickly (no hunting and peaking here), and it had to be pink.
I saw that my traffic increased over the last few days. I'm not sure if it's because of the games or if the gang from There is stopping by (Thanks Pappaling for leaving me a note).
If you stopped by, I appreciate your interest. I hope that you'll visit again sometime!
Every now and then I'll bring up a movie or event out of no where. Last night my friend Brandy and I were talking about the movie Fried Green Tomatoes. We both love the movie dearly, and we were trying to talk Chad into watching it sometime. It was a good discussion about how the movie was made and how the plot line brings together the past and the present.
This morning I wake up, flip in the old tele and whataknow...Fried Green Tomatoes is on! It the strangest thing. Right after my dad past away, Courtney was telling me about this movie Defending Your Life, and how it helped him put things in perspective when his mom died. He urged me to rent it for days. About 3 days later I turn on the tele again, and low and behold on the first station that I turned to, it was on! Weird I thought. The same night I was watching videos on VH1 classic, and an OMD video came on that I had not heard or seen in such a long time, "Forever live and die"....this was one of my dad's favorite songs. The next one was "I want to know what love is", another one of my dad's favorite songs. It got me thinking, is my dad trying to tell me something? I asuume that he was trying the only way he knows how to tell me that he was ok, and that he was there for me.
So when weird things like that happen, I take a moment to think about my life and how this may fit into it. Maybe Fried Green Tomatoes is someone's way of telling me about my friendships or my friendship with Chad and Brandy? Very odd...What do you think?
I know I watch way too much MTV, so stop harping on me!
I watched Sex 2K on MTV tonight. It was a subject that hit close to home, online dating. The show followed around three people in their late twenties, 2 guys and a girl, all trying to find that perfect someone. The girl used match.com, one guy used the hurrydate.com, and then there was Tucker Max.
Tucker Max created his own website complete with an application! The idea is great. As a girl, I probably would be attracted to Tucker. He appears to be one of those typical guys I become friends with, and then over time develop a secret crush. He's straight up about what he wants, and makes no aplogies for it. Good for him. Plus, he threw-up on MTV! You gotta give props to a guy for doing that!
I'm sure his website will probably get hacked by some vengeful girl tomorrow, but I totally support his quest. When I was dating like mad, I made it perfectly clear that a relationship is what I was looking for, and if he couldn't give me that, then he wasn't worth it. When I was in my early twenties, I did the whole non-committal thing. I believe that you go through phases as you grow up, and from 20-25 that was my phase. Eventually, you will want more.
Have fun Tucker Max!
