Technology hates me.

Let me explain:

-Carmen: my loyal desktop computer. Carmen is my Laura Roslin. She's loyal and true and I've known that she was on her last legs for over a year now. This week, her motherboard fried. Can't connect anything to it and the hard drive is on hanging on by a thread. Barely. Soon it will be time to take her up in a raptor....

-Benedict: my aptly named laptop. Benny has betrayed me yet again. Blue screen of death every other minute and the screen's resolution is just weird. Everything is stretched out and just....WEIRD. I can't fix it, something it wrong w/ the drivers and something else is wrong because I've restored it and it still doesn't work. It's less than two years old and still within the extended five year warranty I paid through the nose for, so I'm gonna march it on down to get it fixed. I'm just nervous about the 234GB of hard drive that I will probably lose. *cries*

-Bubba: my Blackberry. Here we are, a year later, and the damn thing is dead. Which is just as well, I suppose. *headdesk*


I feel just like Starbuck right now, on a desolate and disappointing planet Earth, abandoned by all except for Leoben.

Yes, Leoben (my new Droid).

In addition to technology bailing on me, work and real life just keep dumping on me this week, so I'm going to continue to be MIA.

*huggles flist*

Stay cool, dudes. And thanks for being there for me.

All. Am having massive comp uses. Will not cry.

I'm really sorry to those who are expecting things from me this weekend. Hope to be up and running again by tomorrow.

There's nothing better than a company that amuses you while their website is shut down.

Haven't done of of these in a while.
And because I'm putting off doing anything else.....procrastination FTW!!

Rules:
1. Comment to this entry saying 'ICONS!' and I will pick 6 of your icons.
2. Make an entry in your own journal and talk about the icons I picked!

jenrosebsg was curious about my icons

(NO CUT!! THIS IS MY JOURNAL SUCKAAASSSS!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!)

	by amaliak This is a quote from one of my favorite authors over @ MTT (MoreThanThat, for anyone interested) AnnabelWinslow. I found this line to be so GREAT, I asked her if I could icon. I love using it because the internet by default makes us full of ulterior motives. And we should wear more hats.
	by duskwillow I love PD. And this episode made me fall head over heel in love w/ Ned. Because he doesn't want to be Prince Charming. He wants to be a Jedi. I want a Jedi.
	by _floating_icons Regina Spektor owns a little part of my soul. Not only is she awesome, but we share the same fashion sense. I have shoes like this, and I feel that her songs speak to me, especially Fidelity. The difference is, I still have my one foot on the ground. :)
	by colourcopy House. Oh, House. I actually think that this is the relationship he most hates and yet the one he cannot be without. And he keeps coming back to it. Ah, metaphors. Plus, I love that he has a Pimp!Cane.
	by ch_photoshopped My favorite hobby! Lately, I haven't done a lot of book reading, but I love everything about it from the feel of the paper and the smell of the ink, to the word flow, the fonts, the worlds contained in your hands. Plus, I'm kinda blind, so this is fits.
	by _eb Kara. This is from Scar, and I don't know why, but there was so much she just wasn't saying in this episode, but her actions in everything showed just how MUCH she was feeling and it overwhelmed her to the point where she didn't know what she was doing. Life is overwhelming a lot, and I like the reminder.

Okay, so who's ready to ship Dana Walsh/Matt Devlin?

Anyone?


(although, Katee did appear in an ep of Law & Order....)





(crap, I'll have to make icons.....)

Something that would make you happy. Just...let's tone down the politics/sex m'kay?

*twirls*

also, hotels in San Diego are HELLA expensive. Should I wait for the deals that will come from Comic Con people? *headdesk* I'm NOT spending $800. NOT.

(I know I'm a little early)

As a follow up to this post, here's a cuter photo:




on a separate note, I'm BURIED in work. *cries* This week SUCKS.

*runs away*

Ok, I'm watching the Bachelor (why?) and it is SOOOOOOO cheesy and SOOOOOO bad, but the guy is SOOOOOOO hot.



What a douche.

*facepalm*


(and OMG "On the wings of love"? Srly?)

AFTERPARTY!!!





ETA: The Home Extravaganza was a complete success! 500+ comments! And now this Afterparty is 200+ strong and Tara is writing comment!fic. This was good. Really really good. Be sure to swing by if you see this later!!

I'm FINALLY getting around to posting this (slowly catching up on my pic spams).

So, I decided that I need a road trip over Thanksgiving, so Mom and I took off for three days! I love San Francisco and have been going up there at least once a year since....ummm.....1988? (O.O)

Some day, I will live there.

( the moon was shining on the lake that night... )


Also, Bear Gryllis is on Conan right now, and DAMN that man is HOT. I mean, how DOES he manage to make diarrhea sound...less disgusting? I think it's the accent.

You guys, "Casino Night" is on right now.

It's making me so...happy/weepy...it's kinda of ridiculous.

I MISS HOW GREAT THIS SHOW USED TO BE.

OMG.

Is it kinda sad that I think that Jim helping Pam plan her wedding to Roy was more fun and enjoyable than them planning their own wedding? *sigh* Maybe I'm just over tired.


ANNOUNCEMENT for all of those waiting for the "Home" Extravaganza this Saturday over on no_takebacks:
I'm sorry guys, but I won't be able to join you after all. I just got invited to...well, the only think I can really call it is a shotgun wedding. Yup. On Saturday. THIS Saturday.
*cries*
I'm so sorry, and it REALLY bums me out like nothing else. Does that make me a horrible person?


On a separate note, I randomly stumbled on a wikipedia entry on Anastasia Griffith (who was on Damages, btw) and I thought: "she's pretty"

See?


And it has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the fact that she's related to him:



Not at all.

So I was feeling a bit better today, and I went off to get a desperately needed haircut...which just looks like the time before the last time I got my hair cut. Short bob.

Anyway, on the drive home, the radio played three songs that just screamed to me: MEME!!!

So, here we go. I want you guys to participate!! (please?)I think most of my flist is old enough to make this interesting.

SOUNDTRACK TO MY LIFE: TENTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

Ok, so these are the songs of my teenage. These are songs that made an impression on me, at a time in my life where I was really figuring out who I was. These are the soundtrack to those awful, weird and wonderful years. They're not good, or necessarily deep, but they are a part of me.

Here's my top ten:

1. Found out about you--Gin Blossoms


FAV LYRIC:
Did you love me only in my head?
Things you said and did to me
Seemed to come so easily
The love I thought I'd won
you give for free

WHY I LOVE IT:
I heard this song when I was very very young (this song was released when I was 8) but I didn't really get it until I was older. This was the song of heartbreak and betrayal, which even though it's not a slow ballad at all, it still really spoke to me.

( THE REST UNDER HERE )

YOU!! DO THIS MEME!!!

Please?

Might I just say that I find Ewan McGregor incredibly sexy?




Like in an unhealthy way?



*siiiiiiiiiiigh*
