Happy iPhone Day!!!!!

I finally did it – I picked up an iPhone today.  After years of talking about it, dreaming about it, praying for it, begging my boss for it, hoping for it…

I got sick of waiting and just did it.  Thank gawd for tax returns.

It seems paradoxical to get one now, at a time when Verizon and AT&T have a full-blown ad war waging across the television screens and radio channels, accusing each other of having the worst networks since wireless communication was invented, but I have good reasons: Read more »

Alumni Day 2010

I received the e-mail from the Perpich Center for Arts Education in the middle of December.

I was busy, so I set it off until I wasn’t busy.

I’m glad I got un-busy today, because I really enjoyed going to see the old high school, as well as spend a couple of hours talking to students and reinforcing the concept of how important it is to use the school for what it will teach.

I don’t know if I touched anyone personally, I hope I did, I really went out there to see the place running on a normal schedule.  Well, as normal as it gets with Alumni Day on the books.

But I got to speak frankly with some students, give them answers towards my successes and my failures.

And I’m glad.

Have fun, readers.

Skåll!!!

Pictures!

Well, a picture is worth a thousand words, so this must be about 20,000 worth:

Snow Leopard… So Far, So Good

Wow.  Long time, no post.  Well, that’s been an overall pattern of most of my friends, and I am just such a follower of crowds.  I mean, the trenchcoat and dress shirt with tie and waistcoat and all.  ;)

What gives?  Life is just such a grind, and instead of overcoming difficulties I’ve become a whiney bitch.  I work to please other people and haven’t honestly looked to myself for a while now.  I thought moving into my new apartment would’ve kicked off a more realistic view of how I’m taking care of myself, but no – not really.  It just gave me a place to do it in.

So, I took two weeks for vacation, and I’m just taking care of things that have piled up around the apartment and resetting my mindset.  Since I’m resetting the N8-OS, why not do an OS upgrade on my laptop?

Today I woke up and shouted to the world, “Snow Leopard – here I come!”

Then I groaned, ’cause hangovers suck. Read more »

Hrm… I Have a Blog…?

When did this happen?  ;)

I haven’t really forgotten about this site.  I’ve just had my soul swallowed by Vampire Wars on Facebook.  Damn Facebook games, damn them to an eternity of stale donuts and burnt coffee, with a healthy helping of dried creamer and broken stir-sticks.  And bad musak adaptations of David Bowie, Elton John, and Olivia Newton John.

Well, the fun-factor of Vampire Wars has eased off a bit — you can only get so many minions, fight so many other Vampires, and buy so many upgrades to your vampirical madness, before it just dwindles a ten-minutes-a-day game.  At least, I hope it does.  I’ve been neglecting so many other things, like you.  My precious reader.

Readers.  Right.  Readers.  (I love my family and close friends, they check my blog and e-mail me when I haven’t posted for a while.  Gawd, please bless them all with unlimited lives in the video game of their choice.)

So, what has been up, I ask rhetorically of myself for you since this is a blog and not a chat?
