Get it? Me: You reading a
book?
My Sister: Yeah, isn't that a novel idea? Tuesday, December 12, 2006 Spelling Did the Internet have a meeting that I was not
invited to in which it was decided that the word
tomorrow
will now be known as
tomarrow?
That's not cool, guys.
Saturday, December 09, 2006 The Cartscalator I went to the Sunnyvale Target earlier this week
to pick up some photos. It was my first time in a two-story Target. This doesn't
sound amazing at first, as there are many multi-story stores in this country.
Just go to a department store in any mall. But, when you're at Target, you are
usually accompanied by a cart. So how do you get upstairs? Well, you take the
escalator, but right beside you, the cart takes the
cartscalator.
It's simply amazing.
And yes, I am also fascinated by the incredible cart dispenser at IKEA. It makes that cool pstchssshhhhh sound. Wednesday, December 06, 2006 On Target... I went to Target tonight to pick up a $10 gift
for a holiday party gift exchange thing. Ten bucks gets you pretty far at
Target, so I walked out with penguin-themed salt and pepper shakers as well as a
penguin mug for $9.71. I guess I could throw 29ยข in the mug to make it
fair, but I can always right that difference off as "shipping and
handling."
But anyway, the reason this is blog-worthy (can you tell I have strict criteria?) is that when I got to the checkout station, the cashier exclaimed, "Oh I love those penguins!" and started talking to another cashier about how cute they were and how she was going to take them home as decorations, but not put salt and pepper in them. Now there is nothing wrong with it, as I must admit I have great taste when it comes to cute penguins, but all I could think about was that SNL sketch (sorry for the MySpace link) where the cashier wants to purchase products that she sees her customers buying. I'm easily amused, so I was having a hard time preventing myself from laughing as the penguins were being wrapped up. Monday, December 04, 2006 Blog Check Check. Check one. Check.
Moving Day Good, it
worked. Tonight I finally moved my iBlog data over to my Macbook Pro.
As I'm sure the Internet is pleased to hear, this should almost certainly mean
the start of more frequent blog entries by yours truly. The reason for this is
that my laptop, unlike my desktop, which used to be the controller of my blog,
can be easily operated from my couch. My couch is the center of my apartment. I
can see the TV from there. I can surf the Internet. There's a coffee table so I
can eat. And, if I'm feeling especially lazy, I can even sleep there. My
desktop, on the other hand, is at my desk, which is far away from the couch. And
by far
away, I mean
beyond arm's
length. Since it is so far away, I've been
neglecting any work that requires applications or data hosted on the desktop,
including blogging, podcasting, and video production. Now blogging can be taken
off the list, but Podcast Maker, Photoshop, and Final Cut Studio still reside on
the desktop, which is why those YouTube
videos I've promised only receive about 10 minutes of attention each
week. Maybe I'll finish them next weekend... but I've been saying that for over
a month.
