One of my new year goals is to update more often. I haven't actually been successful with that anywhere, yet. No, wait. I did update my Livejournal with my Flickr retrospective. And I've uploaded pictures to Flickr in 2009. I guess I'm getting there.
It seems like vox.com may have done some upgrades since I was around last, so I should probably check that out. And see if anyone is active that I know. And all that other stuf. Maybe after lunch.
If anyone sees pins based on those found in The World Ends WIth You for the Nintendo DS for sale anywhere in real life, please inform me. I know where to get Pokemon dojo pins, but these would be much nicer.
Tonight you went bike riding and went to a dark place so you could play with fireflies. They fly high up into the treetops where you can't bother them.
Remember to actually give snacks to your pets if you're going to wrap them in a napkin and take them home with you. Otherwise, your handbag will smell like french fries at the computer lab.
2,2,2,2,then 5. I'm starting from an initial test of only two, and I didn't think I'd even be able to do 13 today already.
Last year I sort of covered the process of redoing my backyard on vox. It's been a year and the plants have filled in nicely.
I was kind of amazed at how closely the backyard matched my early scribbled designs:
Things don't look good for the iPhone.
- I call my local cingular store, but the local number plops me into the 1-800 national cingular sales desk and no one can tell me when and where I can get an iPhone on day one.
- Since I can't call my local store, I visit it.
- me: "Will you guys be getting iPhones on day one?"
them: "We don't get them until June 29th, they're not for sale right now"
me: "Yeah, I know, but on June 29th, how many iPhones will you have ready to sell?"
them: "I don't know"
me: "Will you have the iPhone on that first day?"
them: "I don't know"
The manager of the store was standing right next to Ms. I Don't Know and he didn't seem to correct her so I suppose that's official store policy.
Some juggling. First three balls, then one club/2 balls two clubs/1 ball, then three clubs:
I've been away. I'm not caught up on reading my neighbourhood. I apologise. It's been busy and hectic and a little bit stressful, though I'm hoping that I'm more or less coming out on the other end of that now.
I spent last weekend at a local convention, meeting up with friends I basically hadn't seen since last year (and a few I hadn't seen since the year before that). The picture on the right is a little bit of dressup I did while I was there. I look sort of cranky in the picture, but it's just because the sun is in my eyes.
It's funny, because I bought all of the pieces separately, but they ended up matching each other. Coincidence. But a good coincidence. I really love those wings. Also, I bought the corset that weekend. My sister has a few corsets but I'd never gotten one myself. You can't really eat much in them, but they hold your posture up perfectly! And they're not as uncomfortable as one might think. I wish I'd thought to get pictures of the ensemble from the back. Maybe next time.
I had been taking more photos (you can see some at my Flickr page) but I started to slack off in March. I need to get back in the habit of taking more. And uploading them. This weather isn't helping. It's like the weather system can't decide if it's spring or maybe still winter. One day it's beautifully warm and the next day it's practically freezing. I don't like to wander about taking pictures if it's too cold.
These guys on the left were at the convention last weekend. One of them actually was out on the dance floor one night. I think the costumes are made of fleece, so they must be really hot.
For those of you who are perhaps unfamiliar, they are alien characters from the children's show Sesame Street. In the show, they had a small segment where they went around saying "yipyipyipyipyip.... uh-huh...uh-huh..." As a child, they freaked me out. These ones were taller than me! Still, the costumes were cool and I liked that they did it as a group. My sister got some video of the dancing one.
Sorry for the disorganised ramble. I'm pretty tired and a bit out of sorts. Hopefully more posting here, more often, soon.
