Troubleshooting My Phone
My damn phone’s camera still doesn’t work. I’m really annoyed. I spent close to six hours tonight trying to fix it, and I ended up doing everything from upgrading to bricking to wiping to reloading and a whole lot in between. And the camera STILL doesn’t work. The only thing that’s different is I’m now … Continue reading
Sims Life Stories
So thanks to kawaiibishounen I am now probably going to be addicted to The Sims Life Stories. It’s what The Sims should have been from the beginning – you can guide them through all parts of their lives, not just going to work and earning money and reaching the top. They have specific desires and … Continue reading
She Looks Smart
I forgot to mention the funny part about winning bingo at Tortilla Flats on Monday night. I was already halfway through my second margarita when they passed out the bingo cards, but I was very careful to mark off the right numbers – if you called bingo and had it wrong, your entire party was … Continue reading
Picard Insanity
I was going to put this in tomorrow’s quicklinks, but I decided it was worth its own post, especially because you have to do this in order. These are all YouTube videos. First, check out Patrick Stewart Alphabet, which I found thanks to hobbitblue. Next, go to The Picard Song. You might want to turn … Continue reading
Great Adventure Trip
Today I finally got to go to Six Flags Great Adventure! It’s in New Jersey, and every time I’m on the turnpike I see the sign, but I’d never been before. It was more crowded than I was expecting, so I didn’t get to go on the two major rides – Kingda Ka, which is … Continue reading
Toe Shoes
Toe Shoes, originally uploaded by woofiegrrl. I bought toe shoes today. They are the Bloch Serenade, and I got them at a local dancewear shop. I took ballet as a little girl, but I never approached a level where I would need pointe shoes, and yet I have always loved them. I don’t know why … Continue reading
Coinstar Counting
If you have a jar full of coins, I highly recommend Coinstar’s new coins to certificates program. If you ask the machine to turn your coins into cash, they charge a service fee of 8.9% of the total amount counted. If you have it turned into an eCertificate for Amazon.com, iTunes, Starbucks, Borders, Pier One … Continue reading
Yup, We’re Strange
Okay, we are officially weird. :A: has gone into a Freecycling frenzy, and here are two recent listings: OFFER: Four X-ray films of a catWell, these are four X-ray films of a cat. Perhaps you are an extremely creative person and want these for a project, or you want to play a practical joke on … Continue reading
Maryland Geocaching
I went geocaching with my dad today! We went to Savage Park, which is near where he lives. We started out by finding the Northbound Trading Post, which is located at the only rest area along I-95 between Dale City VA and Maryland House north of Baltimore – a distance of about 100 miles – … Continue reading
Meadowlark Cache
I successfully placed my first cache today! I am still waiting for approval from the local volunteer, but Meadowlark is settled in place on the grounds of the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. (It looks like that link won’t work until the cache is actually approved, but if you’re interested keep checking – or I will probably … Continue reading
