Through the view that comes with you

Not too long ago Lesley signed on and shared some cool things with me.

• My vedic name astrology says ARTIST, will infuse, inspire and pull society upward and forward through idealistic contributions

• My karmic lesson is selfless service

• My birth date says family and home oriented, exude understanding and compassion. Connoisseur of luxury, in need of comfort, loving philosophy, fair minded, fine sense of justice. Artistic and beauty loving, generous, not necessarily logical with finances. Vulnerable to praise and criticism, responsible and willing to sacrifice for others, value friends and provide a safe port for them in times of need. Fulfilled in marriage and as parents. Emotional, idealistic and imaginative. May worry too much and suffer from chronic stomach problems. Will spend long periods of time alone.

My brother‘s baby girl, Laura was born yesterday. Everyone go congratulate him, she’s as cute as a button!

The house inspection is going good so far. They found some electrical wiring issues but it sounds like the seller is going to cooperate with us completely, which I hope is the case. Not only do I really want this house, but putting so much time into it will really set me back with my lease ending in March. Please oh, please!

Since my camera is completely broken I believe it is time for an upgrade. To a digital SLR. Big stuff, I’m still browsing at the moment and really have no idea which one to let my heart get set on but we’ll see. I think it’ll be fun to try and get into photography a bit. Learning new things is exciting!

Dude, Lesley is REALLY good at playing the fiddle.

Tuck a hoe in my pocket

A few days ago I finally got my car back. I was wrong when I said three thousand, think closer to six. Yeah, I was pretty bummed but once I got in it.. my god. It felt like a whole new car, and for that much money I would hope so. It’s really wonderful though, the entire front end is practically brand new and it floats down the road again. I guess I could have copped out and bought a new car, but I guess in a way I just bought mine all over again. Hey, it’s okay… free memories!!

I put an offer on a house last Saturday. They accepted it! Finally! I think I looked at about 17 houses including some brand new ones my grandfather wanted me to look at. They were nice, but there was no yard or room to park. Some people may not mind, but if I’m going to buy a house I’d rather it not be 6 feet away from the house next to it. I did really think about it though because these houses were really cool looking but when it boiled down to it, I would end up wanting to move to somewhere with a yard for my dog. The yard at the winning house is super duper huge for a little bitty Lola Bean. I know she’ll love it, I can’t wait!

Dun dun dun. I bought a new domain name and will eventually be switching. I know I know, what a move, right? Trying to get my blog established and things and then I go and switch names. I haven’t quite gotten up the motivation to set things up. I’m wondering if it would be a bad idea to start with a new layout, but I’d hate for anyone to get confused and completely forget about me because, omg, there’s this new girl who’s got the cutest domain name EVER.

Spread the werd!

WordPress 2.1.1 Dangerous. Upgrrrrrrrrrade!

Long story short: If you downloaded WordPress 2.1.1 within the past 3-4 days, your files may include a security exploit that was added by a cracker, and you should upgrade all of your files to 2.1.2 immediately.

I thank, Jordan for this news. Had I not gone to her site I never would have noticed cause I’m dumb like that. I actually managed to upgrade both my site and Les (VISIT HER. New url, new layout. It’s hawt.) ERIC – You have 2.0. Your install is safe.

Tomorrow I’m going to look at more houses. Keep your fingers crossed for better luck and a smoother day, oh god. Please.

EDIT: I dunno if it’s the upgrade or if I did something wrong, but my FAQ and Photos page currently aren’t working. I’ll fix that tomorrow, time for bed.

New haircutI got another one of them botched haircuts. I’m a little unsure about this one though. I also think I broke my digital camera which is a shame, one second it was fine then the next thing I know it’s stuck blurry. I wish I could break a few more things just by looking at them.

broken camera In other news, my car may be fixed tomorrow. Now that we’ve racked up another couple thousand in repairs, I’m sure. Since I last mentioned, the people that are working on it magically keep finding major things wrong. My timing belt, clutch, etc. Yeah, thanks guys. Feel free to fix the other 9,823 things broken while you’re at it.

Dirty ScarfI added a shoutbox to my sidebar tonight. I wanted to point out that both columns of the sidebar are EXACTLY the same length, I so did that on purpose. (edit: It was for a minute, anyway) I can thank my job for that. I can also thank my job for making me feel a little more attached to InDesign. It was the outcast of Creative Suite in my eyes, I did not feel very fondly of it. But the more I use it the more excited I get to layout TEXT!
