Tidbits.
Is it wrong of me to be lusting after this Darth Maul USB drive? Yes, I suppose it is. ~*~*~*~*~*~ Woman comes into my shop on Friday, looking for some first communion invitations. I lug out our over-sized catalog of invitations and drop it down on...
TV Time Out.
I’m headed to Delaware this weekend to spend some time with my parents. My Mom and Dad have decided to replace their TV in the bedroom and get a flat-screen TV, and Dad’s been doing all kinds of research on the differences between LCD a...
Portability.
I’m seriously contemplating buying a netbook. I’m sick and tired of my laptop…the hinges are breaking, and Micro$oft Vista has THOROUGHLY borked things up. Of course, there’s no way I’d buy a netbook now…we can...
I’m Not Fat, I’m FLUFFY. Get It Right.
Sorry about the website burp there. I have no idea what happened. It always freaks me out when I have trouble accessing one out of all of my websites! ~*~*~*~*~*~ This past weekend’s drunken debauchery has me looking up some new weight loss p...
Helping You Make The Right Choice.
When I was looking for a new host last year (the first time around), I didn’t do anywhere near as much research as I should have when I chose my host. I went with the recommendation of ONE friend, and I really should have known better. After m...
I Really Needed The Break…
It was so nice to have a four-day weekend. Of course, the shame of it all is that it’s coming to an end, but at least this means I’ve only got a three-day work-week ahead of me…and a trip to see my Mom and Dad is on the horizon! Hu...
What Weekend?
The older I get, the faster the weekends blow by in a complete blur. I spent this past weekend feeling like crap. I had way too much to do, and I didn’t feel like doing a damn thing. Granted, as much as I wanted to lay on the futon all weeken...
Happy To Make It To The Weekend.
This has been the week from hell at work. We’ve been busier than all get-out; unfortunately, the boss tends to lose his freakin’ mind when things get hectic. For the first time EVER today, he apologized for lashing out at me over someth...
Changes In The Air.
The Den has been upgraded to the latest version of WordPress. If you come across anything wonky, please drop me a comment and let me know. I upgraded from 2.3.3, as I didn’t like the interface of 2.6 AT ALL. 2.7 is much cleaner and much bett...
The Geek’s Having A Fat Day.
All of my talk about how I don’t need any diet pills to help me lose weight? All of my crowing about how just changing my lunchtime ritual has helped me to drop the pounds? Quick! Somebody toss me some Lipovox or something! Good Lord, am I fe...
Dragon Naturally Speaking.
Wow. This is pretty pathetic. I just took…and bombed…Dragon’s typing speed test! I knew my typing was bad, but I didn’t think it was THIS BAD: Click to biggify the horror. 55 words per minute may not seem all that bad, but t...
Nobody Knows The Trouble I’ve Seen…
I had to find myself new website hosting quickly last week, as my now ex-host decided to go off the deep end and SUSPEND my account. It took me THREE DAYS before I finally got a reason as to why, even though I already knew what the problem was. Ser...
No Wonder I Have A Throbbing Headache.
Last Wednesday, Phase III of our apartment complex was started. The heavy equipment was brought in, there was a quick chain-link fence installation done around the perimeter of the building site, and then the ground was torn up. There’s now a...
Back The Truck Up.
When we bought hubby’s new computer earlier this year, one of the things I had to add to our “we need to buy” list was an external hard drive for his machine. I have an external drive connected to my computer, and it automatically...
A Good Weekend.
My new iPod has already managed to get on my nerves. When I plugged it into the quick link cable of my car stereo, I found out that it wouldn’t charge that way, unlike my mini. By the time we got to my parents’ house yesterday, the batt...
The Geek In Me Says, “Gimmee!”
Holy moly. Bored doesn’t even begin to describe it. Work is so slow for me right now (we have TONS of press work, just nothing for me to do…) that the boss said I could take off at noon if I wanted to. Works for me. It’s bet...
Slightly Annoyed.
My host got pegged by a DDoS attack earlier in the week, hence the reason my poor websites have gone M.I.A. here and there since Monday. It’s been quite annoying, since yesterday’s outage had to do with something that my host did THEMSE...
Don’t Make Me Destroy You.
Hubby and I had talked at length about what video game system we wanted to get. Being the Nintendo lover that I am, I pushed hard for us to get a Wii. Granted, I did have an ulterior motive…the upcoming release of Star Wars: The Force Unlea...
Couch Potato.
My cell phone is driving me NUTS. I haven’t activated my replacement phone yet, even though I should, as my phone is currently sliding downhill FAST. It crackles during calls now, the ringer’s not working properly, I hang up on people i...
Win A Laptop From Charter Communications!
Who COULDN’T use a new laptop, especially when it’s FREE? I can think of a big bunch of people that I know that could use one…especially my Dad, who really wants his own laptop. Exactly how, you’re asking yourself, do I win a...
Ch-Ch-Changes…
Please pardon the dust while I work on tweaking out a new theme. I get bored easily, and when I’ve got time to kill at work, a new theme gives me something to do. The latest theme is called DailyPress, from the creative minds at BlogOh!Blog....
Organization Is The Key To Happiness?
The start of school is right around the corner. So’s my birthday, but we’re going to ignore that until after September 1st. I remember those days well. Since my birthday, the Labor Day holiday, and the start of school all coincided wi...
Order Up!
Hubby and I want a Wii in the WORST way. Granted, if we ever get one, our downstairs neighbors may end up unhappy with us, but STILL. We want a Wii. Being able to actually physically interact with a game? SO COOL. Back in the day, I used to p...
Shopping Online Is Fun!
I needed some new USB flash drives for work, so I hit up TigerDirect.com this morning to do a little online shopping, and also to test out a new way to pay for things online, eBillme. eBillme is really cool. Instead of giving out your credit card nu...
The Best Laid Plans Always Come Undone.
The good thing is that my mechanic found nothing wrong with my car. I guess I’m just super paranoid since my ‘01 Civic blew up…every little shake and rattle and weird feeling unnerves me. The bad news is that I didn’t get muc...
Time To Consider My Options.
I’ve constantly been considering doing something else with my life and my career. My job is going nowhere, quite frankly, and the fact that I don’t even make the BASE salary of what other graphic designers make is a bit of a kick in the ...
Seriously? Seriously!
I’m home, seriously in need of some Anoretix to counter the effects of the massive amounts of food we ate this weekend, and I’m SERIOUSLY annoyed. Actually, I’ve been annoyed since Saturday… The screen on my cell phone SHATTE...
Random Notes.
Yesterday ended on such a bad note at work that I seriously considered telling a customer that he could take his job and shove it up his ass sideways, especially since HE thought HE could do MY job. Oh, and did I mention the fact that while he was ...
Time Off For Good Behaviour.
That’s just great. I had a new post all typed out, I hit publish, and my internet choked or something, and WordPress ATE my damn post. Auto-save? Of course not. I have no idea what the hell happened. *GROWL* In a nutshell, because now I don...
The Ongoing Saga.
So. Anybody want to place bets on whether or not UPS is going to have me in a rage when I get home from work today? I’m expecting a package to be delivered today, and of course, I don’t have the tracking number with me so I can keep an ...
