Today is the first day that we’ve left Bentley out of the kennel when everyone is at work (and before I get up). I was pleasantly surprised when I came downstairs and there wasn’t a mess or any puddles to clean up. Quite refreshing if I do say so myself. I wish I had gotten more sleep last night though. Billy kept me awake for hours snoring and I never got to sleep (even after taking pills) until I went to the other room. It’s not hit fault I know, but its really frustrating sometimes.

I think I actually like Tumblr more than WordPress, it’s just got a bit “more” to it. I do wish I could find a way to make a photo gallery page though. Oh and I wish the Tumblr people would make a freaking iPad app already! I mean how many million iPads have been sold (both versions) its obvious we need an ‘app for that’!

Oh, and of course I need to let you know about my odd pregnancy cravings. Not that I’m pregnant, but when you start craving Salt & Vinegar chips something is up. I thought I’d try the Publix brand chips this week, be warned! These chips are much stronger than Lays chips.

Last thing, I promise. I have been in love with this song (and it’s music video) for weeks now. If you haven’t heard of it, you really need to give it a listen. It’s called “Oh No!” by Marina & the Diamonds. I’m going to post the music video right behind this so check it out!

Right now I’m half-watching them play Super Mario Bros. on the Wii, and half-listening to Pandora. Oh well I guess I’m full on blogging on top of all that, but it was kind of obvious. I should be doing laundry since the hamper is full, but I really don’t want to. Who does want to laundry though? It’s not the sorting or doing the laundry I hate, it’s the hanging up of clothes that sucks.

I found my old digital camera yesterday. I wanted to love that camera so much. It was a very expensive slim Sony CyberShot camera, but it takes some of the worst pictures I’ve ever seen. I took the memory stick (seriously Sony, fail on not using SD) out and plugged it in and found some old pictures. They’re all bad quality, but it’s funny seeing me with long hair, and Bailey as a little kitten. I discovered that I could use the camera connection kit for my iPad to plug in a USB card reader with the memory stick to upload the pictures. Ghetto to need so many things in a daisy-chain to make it work, but neat that it does actually work.

WordPress updated their iOS app the other day, and it seems to be more stable, although the keyboard still lags on my iPad while typing. I’ve quit all the other apps (except Pandora & AIM) so it shouldn’t be low on memory. It’s getting a bit annoying typing so I think I’m going to run for now. Stay warm y’all!

Last week I had an accident when doing my hair. It accidentally came out looking like this and I’ve been doing it ever since. Truthfully I think it’s too long to be doing this, but it still looks pretty cool. Everyone thinks it’s rock hard when they go to touch it, but its really soft and fluffy. I tested it out today in the rain and it held up pretty well too. Please ignore the shirt. I really don’t like it very much. In fact I don’t even remember ever purchasing it. After I got out of the shower today I went rummaging though my closet for a long-sleeve shirt and came across this and felt guilty that it has probably never been worn before.

I figured I’d bring the blog back out of retirement today. I had switched to tumblr, which is neat in its own regard, but it just isn’t the same. I’ll continue to use it too, but it’s mainly a photo-blog to me and by photo I really mean snap-shots. Oh, I also picked out a new theme for WordPress too!

As you can probably guess, I still haven’t found a job yet. Unfortunate as that is, I have applied to a few more places this week. Lets all keep our fingers crossed for me okay!? I really hope someone gives me a chance to prove that I can do a great job. If you know of a job opening, or if you yourself are hiring I’m right here!!! *waves arms*

Ahh well, I’m getting a bit hungry, so I think it’s time to run. Have a great weekend y’all!

So far the project with the hinges is progressing. Once we get a system going it will be faster (I hope). Billy bought me a present at Home Depot today, a door stop! I know what you’re thinking but I really did want it. It’s one of the magnetic ones that holds the door open. Now the cats can’t close the door in the bathroom.

We got our hair done this afternoon. Nothing special just a cut and style, but it’s always nice to see John. The other girl was there doing some girls hair and they were having the most awkward and hilarious conversation the entire time. They were making fun of all their old friends from high school and how fucked up they’ve all become. The best part though was when the stylist asked the other girl “Do you remember when I was pregnant in high school and got that abortion?” Such an odd topic to bring up in mixed company.

Anyway our day has been fairly tame today so I don’t have much to report. Billy is playing Grand Theft Auto while the paint on the hinges dries and I took this opportunity to do a short update. See you guys later!

I’ve spent the better part of the last two days (or so) going back through all my old blog posts cleaning up. I didn’t delete them or anything, but a lot of them had broken links or pictures. I was able to fix most of the pictures, and the ones I couldn’t I removed the image tags out so it wouldn’t display a broken link. I had great hopes of being able to find all the appropriate pictures but alas some are just gone into oblivion. It’s one of the unfortunate consequences of changing web hosts, that and my unwillingness to embrace WordPress’ own gallery function. I’ve since come to terms that using plugins for other types of galleries is just a botch job that never works fluidly. I haven’t decided if I want to change the way I have my photography gallery or not yet though. I still have it hosted through Picasa. I do however like how the built in gallery plays nice with lightbox and it just works for imbedding into posts.

Oh, I’m really big into Last.fm (my profile) so add me as a friend on there please! If you’ve never tried it it’s similar to Pandora only better. It gathers data on the music you listen to in iTunes, on your iPod/iPhone/iPad and makes suggestions for music you would like based on what you listen to. Give it a try!

I was lucky enough earlier this week to come across someone on an online forum that had a question about their Nissan Altima Coupe. They had a new 2010 model fully loaded with black interior and silver trim. They wanted to know if all the black trim pieces that show up on ebay from wrecked 2008+ models would work or not (which they will) and I told him so. So he sold me some of his silver trim pieces (that I like better) for $25. New it would have cost me over $130; SCORE! I bring this up because FedEx just showed up a little bit ago with my package!

Ok I better bug out, the more I talk the less you’ll read =)

Unfortunately I believe the developer has given up on updating the plugin to work with Facebook’s ever-changing API, and WordPress’ constant updates. For the longest time it just worked and I was thankful it did everything I wanted, but now its broken. =(

So I’m sending out a cry for help to the world, both of WordPress and Facebook. Does anyone know of a similar plugin, or hell even a way to replicate what use to be great? I know it seems stupid, but people actually do read and comment on my blog via the “notes” that show up in facebook and the news feeds; but most people that actually travel to my blog may read it, but usually don’t leave comments. At the risk of looking like a complete loser I’d like to have my blog reflect that sharing my life isn’t an utter waste. While I do believe most things I ramble about only pertain to my interests its nice when others add their $.02 and I’d like to reflect it! So please, if you or someone else knows a way to do what I want please let me know!

I expected that train of thought to go further than that, guess I was mistaken. I honestly haven’t meant to be so distant from my blog. I’ve sat infront of marsedit several times, I see the blogpress icon on my phone all the time. Hell even my homepage in firefox is my blog URL! It’s just everytime I’ve tried to sit down and write my mind goes blank. The best thoughts come in the bathtub, and I’m just too afraid of my phone going for a swim to risk it.

It isn’t just the blog I’ve been distant from, I’ve neglected people in general lately too. Not so much on purpose, but there is just a lot of things going on at home lately. It seems as though the few free moments I have are when people want to plan something and the future is so sketchy I just can’t plan. I hate looking like all the flakes I hate but I seriously have other shit to do. Just because I’m not doing anything at the moment doesn’t mean I want to get up, shower, shave, drive across the city to meetup for an hour.

Ugh I’m so tired of trying to make new friends too. People just don’t get it, just because I’ll chat with you for five minutes online doesn’t mean I want to meet you in person. And what part of “I have a boyfriend” makes anyone think sexual banter is an appropriate greeting, much less a conversation starter. “Other Person: Whatsup?” “Me: Driving to my friends house” “Other Person: Ooh are y’all gonna fuck?” WTF is that? Why would someone even go there? The same person messaged me online two days later asking what I was doing, I replied “laying in bed” and they come back with “naked?” no fucker I’m not naked, I don’t sleep naked, and I don’t see why it’s any of your concern! People suck. Why is it so hard to make friends with people based on common interest? The few people that are my friends can certainly attest that “sex” is not on my list of common interests.

This seems to be going more and more downhill the more I type… Let’s see if I can come up with something positive that’s happened recently (besides this future run to Florida).

Oh! My new mirrors came the other day. Paint came out fantastic too! I installed them on the car, and Billy did the wiring. Everything works except the heating elements, but it was getting late that night and we kept blowing the fuse so we decided to come back and attack that after some rest. Hooray for small victories right? Here I’ll attach a picture. I know everyone has been hearing me bitch about UPS being so slow at delivering them.

You will have to excuse my car (especially the wheels) for being dirty, it’s rained everyday here lately. The car came with plain power mirrors, and the heated/folding/signal mirrors were part of a $6000 option package I didn’t want. I paid $300 for these from the dealer, plus paint. Not a bad savings if I do say so myself *toots horn*.

I also appologize for the image quality and the formatting of them in the post, the whole thing was done from my phone. I’ll fix the markup when I’m infront of my laptop.

I think I’ve taken up enough of your time with my blabbering; more to follow later.

On a related side note, there were two people (one myspace and one facebook) that got deleted purely for one reason. They post an excessive amount of useless and pointless bulletins. The facebook person being one who posts propaganda for every cause in the world, and I’m sorry I can only read about them saving the world so much before I start to hate seeing their posts. The myspace person just really pissed me off last weekend especially because they posted the same bulletin with different titles over and over again every five minutes boasting some party that night; and that was purely ridiculous.

Anyway I’ll stop ranting, just wanted to let everyone know what was “up”.
