Earbuds are the devil

| 4 Comments
Seriously, HOW can people wear earbuds?  They hurt my ears like a mofo, and never stay in for more than a minute.  And before you ask, NO, I'm not shoving them into my ear canals.  

So, the hunt is on for earbuds that will be comfy for my small ears, work with my iPhone, and don't cost $100.  Yeah, good luck with that!

Anyhoo....Matt decided that he wanted to buy his OWN graduation present (I'm still grumbling about that, but whatever), and picked up two tickets to see Kids in the Hall at the Pageant.  I wonder if they're really going to rape Kevin, like they said they would?


WTD makes me happy

I'm damaged

No, I didn't get physically hurt, but Mallen can attest to my mental state.  Since the spouse was at class all night, I headed over to watch Fido with Mr. Allen.  I really liked Fido.  It was a zombie movie, but not in the traditional style.  It's hard to explain really.  I recommend seeing the trailer for a better idea.

Afterwards, we decided to watch something else from Netflix.....a movie called JESUS CHRIST, VAMPIRE HUNTER.  All I can say is wow.  It was 90 minutes I will never get back.  It was so bad, I kinda liked it.  We couldn't turn it off.  Featuring vampires, lesbians, Mexican wrestlers, priests with mohawks, and a character named Mary Magnum, you KNOW it has to be good!  

My brain is still trying to figure out what the hell was going on.  

One more page!

I *just* finished this one.  All of my scrapbook pages have been green recently.  No idea why.

Scrapbooking!

Yeah, most of you won't really care about my scrapbooking pages, but I'm proud of them.  It's my blog, and I can post them if I want to dammit! :)  

One more thing....it's come to my attention that comments aren't working right now.  Management has assured me that he'll get on it asap.  That is, after he is done with working on his group project, writing a 15-page paper, and fixing my pc.  Who needs sleep?

The rebirth

Yeah, not really. I just wanted a cool title for this post. So....what's new with me? 

-My PC died. One by one, my USB devices started to fail, until eventually the screen went blank and the machine wouldn't start up again. Matt got a motherboard off of eBay for me. The seller was from O'Fallon, but the douche wouldn't let us pick it up. $14 to ship it 5 fucking miles? Whatever. 

Matt installed the motherboard, and it tried to kick over, but.....nothing. He hasn't really had time to look at it, and it's not top priority right now. Thankfully I've got my laptop. We've also plugged in my cinema display so I don't have to squint.

-I did a market survey at my favorite store....Archiver's. They gave me a $50 gift card for telling them what I thought of the store. I went the next day and spent it all. Good times. :)

-I'm slowly starting to get business things going. I have several weddings to shoot with Lisa, and booked another one on my own for June 1st. They're getting married at Quail Ridge. I can't remember, but I think I've been there before. ;)

-I'm working on two websites right now....mine and Lisa's. I really don't want my website to look like every other photographer's out there. Which is easier said than done. I also am working on branding materials, like logo, business cards, brochures, price lists, etc. But I enjoy doing this work, so it's not so bad. 

-Randomness: I had an hour long phone conversation with my brother. Just because. And HE called ME. I'm still scratching my head over that. 

-I'm taking the clarinet up again. I bought new reeds and everything! Tara, if you read this, and still need a duet partner, let me know. 

-And finally, my scrapbooking mojo is back! I went almost a whole damn year without scrapbooking, which SUCKS. It's nice to have some of my creativity back. :) Next post will be pictures. And that's about it for now.
