The Price is Wrong Bitch
I wore this shirt yesterday…
And forgot that I was wearing it…until I started getting weird looks…
Some folks even stopped and asked me where I got it from..
One lady just started laughing so much so that she let me get in front of her at Yozen Frogurt. *cabbage patch…running man…kid n play*
Final straw came when this dude stopped me and tried to strike up convo by starting with…”Hey, My mom was on that show…”
*eyeroll* *thiz face*
I love this shirt.
The next shot might be a full on view of the shirt… MAYBE.

Have a happy Friday folks.
Yay Weekend.


The Mojave “Experience”

by Courtney Elizabeth · September 14, 2008 · Entrepreneur, Girl Geek ·

windows vista fail The Mojave ExperienceYeah yeah yeah…

I know it’s Mojave Experiment

Well…NOW I do…

But I didn’t before…*because I could pretty much care LESS* and so now, whenever someone types in MojaveExperience… *all one word* …my website comes up.

Oops.

Maybe Microsoft should have came up with a shorter no-fail name. How bout THAT.

Okay, so while I have an audience…let me just say…

Windows Vista sucks!

I feel compelled to reiterate what folks have been saying since Microsoft released this wack, sub-par product…Windows Vista should not have been released. And no matter what way you package it…whether it’s Mojave Experiment or Mojave Experience or the Mojo Jojo Experience, the crap will continue to suck. The licensing sucks, the UAC sucks…and I don’t even want to talk about what you did to my router when you were first brought into my proud little networking environment. The mere flashbacks make me want to drop kick this laptop. *But I gotta work tomorrow … so let me not*

Who would have thought that my new jam would come from a show that I didn’t even think I’d like…
The Pilot for CWs “Privileged” was on point…

CWs 90210 = FAIL…still. Just let it go…please CW. Just let it go…

No one knows – Asa

Just the other day, the other day
I was talking to the weather man
About today oh oh oh
And all,all he could say
Was no one knows tomorrow

I Hate MACs

Old Apple Computer
by Courtney Elizabeth · September 9, 2008 · Girl Geek, Life ·

Everyone always asks me why I can’t stand MACs.

The truth is…they just don’t do it for me.

My days with the MAC extend all the way back to 1988. My dad was a computer engineer for the military *among other things* and was always working on 3-4 computers at a time from home. So there was always a computer around. Always something to touch and inspect. Always something to look inside of. Always something to help take apart.

I remember the computer fairs…every first Sunday of the month, we’d go down to the local community center to visit the computer fair. My favorite things to do was to hang out by the game tables. And if I was lucky, I’d get a box of 10 5.25 Floppy disks…sort of a grab bag if you will. It was always filled with games and 1 or 2 educational games. They were blue… I remember that. My dad would buy the blue colored floppy disks so that he could separate my games from his programs which were always on black colored floppy disks.

32 of 365: Woman’s Guide to Real Estate

Sans the title… this seems like a great read…
I grabbed it at Marshall’s today for under $5.00…
I noticed it about 10 minutes after we had a conversation concerning the very subject…

RealtyTrac.com is your friend…And from what I can see, there’s LOTS of foreclosures. I remember a few months ago, Incog sent over an article on CNN about those people who were in foreclosure damaging the homes that they were leaving because they were so upset at the situation. Granted there were people who were nice enough to do any damage to the home when they left, but there were quite a few who weren’t that nice.

Watching House Hunters and My First Home makes me want to move down south or north…..or north east. Nothing is as bad as California is right now, other than NY.

I wonder how Barak is gonna affect the economy…
And how long it’s going to take…lol

Eh well…Happy Monday

Last night’s volleyball was great…
But I’ve got war wounds!
Broken blood vessels…soreness…
Ew.

oooooo…but it was some GREAT volleyball! lol….
Let’s go again!

I haven’t had that much fun on the court in years…
I’m excited for the new season, and the people…

It seems like there’s a great crowd. Turnout was 110 people and they were only expecting about half of that. Another thing I was happy about was the number of black folks! ha ha! I thought I was going to be the only one..*as usual*

So I’m sitting here today, drinking lots of water, and trying to make sure I stretch my arms every hour or so…As much as I hate them, I’m trying to get my squats in too. My quads are kickin my ass right now..

I plan on painting Munny a little more today…and just relaxing.
Have a great Weekend folks!

This is gonna be a good day.
I decided to start the acrylics on my DIY Munny Series 4 today.
I took the day off from myself…for myself…
In other words, I’m not going into the office, and I’m not transferring the 888 number to my cell. I refuse.

I’m going to chill and relax and just enjoy the day…
Painting Munny… Watching TV…and doing pretty much whatever I want.

I might however, glance at the project board every once in a while to make sure no one is jumping from any bridges or anything…

But other than that.
I’m taking a self imposed TIME OUT day.

Catch me on the flip side…

It wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be…
I think I already had an Idea in my head…
It’s just a matter of getting the colors down…
I think I’ll start on colors tonight…

This weekend was pretty easy…and really quick.
I almost wish that I had a do over.

We got up to Season 4 Disc 3 of The Wire.
This show is addicting…

Since this week is the first it’ll definitely be hectic…so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to put any blog posts together…
But I will be posting to flickr .

Have a great week folks…

Bentley’s Labor Day
Bentley spent most of this morning lounging around and being a puppy.
It’s one of the very rare moments where he’s sitting around and not bouncing off the walls. Damn those hyperactive yorkies. oy.

I don’t have anything planned for today.
Primarily because I spent so much cash on Saturday, I’m trying to lay low and relax, and not spend so much. Top that off…I know this week will be hectic. The first week of the month is usually a crazy one at the office, so I think I’ll just enjoy the downtime now…in preparation for tomorrow.

Have a Happy Labor Day folks!
