How cute is this?



It's just a concept, but I want Honda to build it! Oh geez. Read about it here, Popular Science Online.

Things I have accomplished today:

Caught up on Gallery inventory work
Paid Cafe tab from summer
Sufficiently creeped out ex-boyfriend/friend by telling him I dreamt about him

A side note, the categories of movies Netflix says I am into include:

Mind-bending sci-fi and fantasy
Critically acclaimed goofy comdedies
Visually striking cerebral foreign films
Quirky crime tv shows

Dana's bubble = burst.

But, exploring other avenues. For example, grad school. Crazy? Probably.

Perseid Shower tonight, midnight to five a.m. for those who are into that sort of thing!

I'm meeting with the study abroad coordinator on Thursday! I'm nervous.

Now I have to go back to sorting really smelly candles for work. Yech.

I got the 13" MacBook Pro. And the 16gb iPod Touch. Holy crap. I'm freaking out a bit.

I got the iPod engraved with "Lache pas la patate. (Don't drop the potato.)" which is apparently going to be my show title.

EEEEEEEEEEEE@!!1111

Hey Mac Nerds (I know there are at least three of you)...

I am buying a computer this weekend because of tax free days. Duh, I'm getting another Mac, a laptop. Please weigh in on what I should get! Realistically, I am probably getting the 13" MacBook Pro, but I want to know what your opinion on that is, especially with the new integrated battery, and what sort of upgrades you would advise.

Thanks little lovelies!

Because it makes me laught out loud every time I see it!

Ovarian cancer is the deadliest of all gynecologic cancers.
An estimated 1 in 58 women will develop ovarian cancer during their lifetime.
If diagnosed and treated early, the 5 year survival rate is over 90%.
Due to little or NO symptoms, and therefore a lack of early detection, only 19% of all cases are found at an early stage, making it a "SILENT KILLER".

$10 cover, and ALL PROCEEDS go to the NOCC (National Coalition for Ovarian Cancer).

Andrew is out of town. I am in charge of the chickens. On Saturday I went to feed them after work and the little white one had gotten its head stuck in the fence and broken its neck! It was awful. I was panicking because they are in this makeshift pen and I basically had to disassemble it to get in and get him out. I didn't want to do that unless someone was around so the other chickens couldn't get out. GAH. I felt so bad. He was attracting flies and the other chickens kept pecking at him.

Cara came over and helped me though. I had to cut the fence to get his head out! I am so not cut out for this shit. I'm scared to go and check on them because of what I might find every day! But I do it anyways. So far so good. Andrew gets back this weekend, I think.

Also, today when I went to feed them, a huge gust of wind came just as I was pouring the food and it blew ALL OVER ME. Down my shirt, all over my pants, in my shoes, in my eyes. Ugh.

Yes, not cut of for farm life. No way.

I am really interested in making clothes this summer instead of buying them. Would anyone like to do a sew-along? The more the merrier. I think having other people making the same or similar things would help me stay motivated.

I know almost everyone who reads this is crafty, but I know not all of you sew. But I say have no fear! The sewing machine can be your friend, and wearing customized clothing is the shit. Think of how awesome you will feel when people say "Where did you get that awesome skirt?!" and you can answer "I made it!"

Okay. Lemme know, babies.

Rainy Sunday makes me want to sleep under the desk at work.....

I was prompted to do this because Rae answered it. And my answer is more absurd? Or appropriate, I don't know.

When I was three or four my dad shaved off his mustache. He came in the front room and I FLIPPED OUT. I screamed over and over, backed away, climbed into a cardboard box that was nearby. I was terrified of him. I don't know what I thought, maybe that he was a stranger. I distinctly remember looking up at him from inside that box and screaming, kicking, whatever at him as he leaned in, laughing, trying to give me a hug.

I don't know if I'd call that my biggest childhood fear, but you know. Apparently I've always been a tad melodramatic.

I was also afraid of caterpillars (I'm making a piece about that for my thesis) and monsters under my bed or in the toilet. I used to lay on my side in the center of my bed because I thought that meant the monsters' arms couldn't reach me. I'd hover above the toilet seat or pick my tush up and check periodically that there were no hands reaching for me.

Weird? I know.

Like, really old. Well, two or three years old. It kind of made me want to vomit. I can't believe how different I am, how much happier or more free I am. I'm so happy I didn't get married. It would have ruined my life.

In the $150ish range. I'm asking you lovely people to weigh in on your cameras and why you love them.
