LA Social Networking Examiner

Everything else in my world has been on the up and up…I can’t really complain too much.

I DO miss my blog though…a lot. Its just easier to post to mobile blog at girldriven.com than it is to login and post on the main one at courtneyelizabeth.com.

But I recently installed an update to the WordPress for Blackberry Application, so I think this will make it much easier.

Alright…lemme get back to my NCIS Marathon here…

x0x0, Boon

…because I really just skipped over June as if it wasn’t a month or something…

God has really been good to me…and I don’t really have any complaints for ya…

Sooo let’s see what’s been going on in this little world of mine…

• I’ve officially moved to North Hollywood
• I’m liking it so far…if I can just get over waking up to folks singing loudly by day…and watching folks practice dancing in their living rooms by night…
• I went to the Lakers Championship Parade…
• and that’s a big step for someone who loved them for years, disliked them after Kobe did …whatever he DID…or…DIDNT do, and then picked them back up this year…
• I’ve been working like a mad person…my grand is forever imminent…
• I’ve seen more of Los Angeles, Hollywood, San Fernando Valley than I have in all of the 9 years that I’ve been living here
• I’ve been expanding my social media networking like crazy
• CourtneyEizabeth.com has made it to it’s 6th year as of June 5th
• and gained over 80 new readers in the past few months…
• And I havent even been saying anything! lol!!
• I’ve been keeping the Mobile Me version alive at GirlDriven.com…
• I actually post more to GirlDriven.com than I do anywhere else…lol…
• but you should still follow me on Twitter
• I’ve purchased a new munny and a new mini mobile munny
• …but i havent named them yet…
• I’ve done 2 photo shoots
• …one commercial short
• …and I’ve managed to remain somewhat sane

I wonder what the next two months will have in store for me.

Alright God…I’m ready…let’s go!

x0x0, Boon

…because I was soo excited!

When I got to the office this morning…
There was a box waiting for me with a Georgia address, and I just KNEW it had to be my box from Jazz..
She told me it was coming…
And I’ve been patiently waiting…and it’s here!

I’ve been asking for one of these for over two years. lol! And she remembered little ol’ me!

And it’s cute! ♥

I waited until I got home to open it because I wanted to be able to relax and unwind and…be…non-stressed.

Delayed.Gratification.Crucial.

Thanks, Jazz!!

Check her out ya’ll! She does great artwork!

My hatred for Internet Explorer runs deep.

But my need for sanity runs deeper.

I installed Multiple IE on the Office Network today.

Of course I had to upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 first. Not fun in my opinion, but a necessary evil.

Anything involving Internet Explorer is a headache.

But I did what I had to do.

I get tired of rendering and validating in Firefox sometimes.

So it was just easier to just install the crap.

If you’re like me…you might want to go ahead and do the same.

Just make sure that you read the “Important Notes” first before you start throwing yourself out of buildings and what not.

Ciao!

Dear Readers…

Meet $data (affectionately named by punchdouble).

She’s small..she’s pink…and she’s been enhancing my life…for less than 24 hours. Her cover flip excites me.

My blog posts have become more and more sparatic lately.
I apologize.

You’ll find me somewhere in between office and home on any given day – minus saturday and sunday. And even on those days, I’m usually at home doing some work. I’ve managed to go out a few times in the past two weeks, but one would hardly call it a social life.

My end of the rainbow surfaces next Friday, when we head to the Bahamas for 7 whole days of relaxation and no-work. Oh Bahamas…how I miss you so…

• Jesus be a gorilla shaped coconut filled with rum and pineapple juice.

Until later…Love, Court

The work ethic has been non-stop, with lulls long enough to shower and eat, and end the day with a round of House Hunters on HGTV.

It could almost be considered sad.
But I’m on a mission.

With the Bahamas trip coming up the first week of November, the goal is to make sure that all projects are closed, or on track for completion the following week… and that all invoices have been paid.

I’m sooo ready for a vaca.

Yesterday, I spent a few hours dealing with design / browser compatibility for IE6. I wanted to scream.

IE6 must die.

It needs to die. WHY even bother using it now that IE 7 is out? Is it that your network administrator is too lazy to do the network wide upgrade? Is it that you refuse to step out of your shell and try IE7? The only reason I mention IE 7 is because I know how difficult it will be for you to grasp Firefox. Internet Explorer shouldn’t even really be an option, but alas…since Microsoft monopolized the market and 9 times out of 10, you’ll have some version of Internet Explorer already installed on your factory computer, I know that for you… it’s easier to deal than to upgrade. My brain hurts.

Alright, let me get back to work…
Still praying for Mojo…

Yeah 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*

(more…)

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.

I havent blogged in a few days…

But it hasn’t been on purpose.

I’m still awake, however, I’d rather be in bed.

My body is going through some sort of insomnia phase where I crash at about 1 or 2 in the morning and then I’m awake at 6:30 / 7 in the morning. It’s like a biological alarm clock in the morning…always around the same time, and never past 7. It’s also made me just a tad bit moody lately…

I wake up on grouch mode and I’m just about the worst person to be around until I have my coffee.

I revamped the layout for August…

I’m still trying to decide what will go in the BIG WHITE BLANK SPACE at the top of the page…but I’ll figure something out, I guess.

Give me time.

I switched purses last night.

I was tempted to purchase a new bag on Nordstroms.com and after a while of searching, I realized that the bag that I really wanted was already in my closet in it’s little Coach bag protector.

That’ll teach me.

So far today, I’ve gotten two compliments on a bag that I thought I’d probably never use again. It almost feels brand new. Further verifying that I made a good choice in saving the money.

However, I did purchase The Wire Season 2 and 3 today from Best Buy. They were on sale for $34.99 each…I dig it.

Maybe I’ll shoot those in the AM.

Alright….Nite Nite.

Okay, so I finally got a chance to check my mailbox last night, and it was all good in the hood when I found my Wii Wireless Lan Card for Connect24. I plugged in and I was on the internet in 2 minutes flat…

But I haven’t played against anyone because I don’t have anyone’s Console Numbers.
Plus, I’m trying to get my fourth star in MySims. I can’t find the dang on purple crayons…so if anyone knows where they are…send a signal. lol

I found a cheat at MyCheats which says:

first, you have to have the 3rd star. then, unlock the desert, and under a landmass where there is a lot by its self, their is a cave. go in, and yuo can get by prospecting, red and yellow crayons, tina dolls, and tim dolls (tim dols are rare though). to get purple crayons, prospect near the railroad in the town to get stones, 8 balls, and purple crayons. (purple crayons are rare though)

So I’m going to give that one a try one of these days. These dang on Wiis are addictive man…*sigh*…

Anyways, I purchased my Wireless Lan Card from Ebay: Click Here

It wasn’t the fastest shipping in the world being that we’re in the same state and all, but it was OK and it worked when it got here, so I can’t really complain. *Remind me to tell you about the Lathem Employee Time Clock I purchased a few weeks ago. *

Alright…let me get to working… Send over those Console Numbers! *if you have WiFi…or if you’re planning on getting it*
Stay Blessed!
