Yesterday Michelle over at Laundromat gave me this best blogger award. YAY, I FEEL LOVED!! I must say I was surprised and totally stoked to get it, as the whole little blog awards thing always seem to pass me by. Over the past few weeks there’s been one going through all the expats here like [...]
Was wondering if I could write a blog with my phone. Found a WP app on the Android market and decided to test it.
Here goes nothing!
Adding some random photo I took months ago to test the camera. No idea how it will format it.
I may very well be the last gamer on the planet to hear about these people, but I feel the need to share… just in case there’s someone more out of the loop than I am.
The Guild are a group of gamers who came together to make their own web-based show about five [...]
You know you have a lot of time on your hands WHEN… This is so freaking cool! A part of me wonders if this is actually done with post its or if it’s some kind of digital thing, but in any case it had to take a while and looks awesome!
Years ago I made a post about people online and how they pretend to be something they aren’t, and I’ve been thinking about it again recently. I made that post almost exactly 5 years ago and this issue is still a bit of a thorn in my side, especially now that the blogging community has [...]
If you are a photographer of any kind, you probably understand the annoyance of carrying your camera on a strap around your neck. At least if you are like me and you still have the nylon strap that came with your camera, those things are so scratchy. I can imagine that after a certain amount [...]
On Wednesday night Xander and I were going out to see Star Trek – OMG What an awesome movie!!! – and I was getting cranky because he was rushing me. Also because I was sleep deprived… AND PMSing. Seriously, he should have known better.
Anyhow, as I ran around getting dressed and brushing my teeth, I [...]
Yesterday was the five year anniversary of this blog. It started out on May 2, 2004 when I was anxiously awaiting my upcoming trip to Canada. I’d not been home in almost four years so I was long overdue. Now here I am, five years later… looking back on it like it was just yesterday!
In [...]
I’ve always been really interested in photography but never knew anything about it. I’ve tried looking some info up online but there is something about my brain that causes it to switch off when I get too much information at once. I needed personal instruction and I never knew anyone here in NL who could [...]
Holy crap, can you believe it?!! I remember when I started the countdown on my header, it was 68 days until Christmas and now it’s here!
This is where Xander and I will spend Christmas Eve – in front of the tree, behind our laptops, just the way we like it! Ok, I’m sure I’d probably [...]
A while back I saw that Zhu had a post called Pay it Forward. I first thought of the movie by that name, but it turned out she was taking part in the same sort of thing only over blogs. Here is how it was described:
the exchange focuses on doing an act of kindness without [...]
Today DutchBitch has given me the I love your blog award! Pretty cool!
I’ll be honest. I’ve seen other people handing these awards out to each other and I’ve been a little jealous and unloved.
Not anymore, I’m one of the cool kids now, so to speak!
This is how it works, according to DutchBitch:
The “I Love [...]
I recently watched the first season of The Big Bang Theory and instead of laughing at the characters, I was laughing with them and wishing I was the one who lived across the hall from them.
I think a lot of women dream about living across the hall from Brad Pitt or the guys from Two [...]
A few people have mentioned that they are having problems with my site being slow to load. It appears there are some problems going on with my host. I thought it might be the theme, since the problems mainly started around the same time I switched themes, but after doing some testing everything is slow, [...]
The new theme (WP-VYBE) is finally up! What do you think? You know me, if you hate it say you love it anyway because I just spent the last two days working on it. I’m ok with you just amusing me.
This theme is awesome and I really must give a big shout out to Michael [...]
Back in January I was itching to get a new camera, but I couldn’t decide what kind I wanted. I decided at the time to hold off until I knew for sure, as it’s something that I’d be using for a few years. So for the last 10 months I’ve been looking at reviews and [...]
Aside from the feeling of independence, meeting people and getting out of the house, the biggest perk of working again is making money. My husband and I decided that when my first paycheck comes in that I should buy myself something I really want. Something we wouldn’t put the money on out otherwise but can [...]
I was reviewed at Bloggyaward.com today. I was quite surprised when I saw it on my bloglines with my blog on there but was pleasantly surprised to see that I was a Bloggy Award Winner.
The way the site works is, they review your site but only the really good ones get the ‘bloggy award’. You [...]
Over the next few days my site may look completely retarded. Weird colors, or other themes. I’m too lazy to make a copy of this blog to test on so I’m just going to test on it live :)
So expect that things won’t look or work like normal for the next while!
I’ve got the theme-changing [...]
