Amazon women on my monitor

I bought some bras on Amazon.com a month or so ago, and now my personalized Amazon homepage is all sexed up. This lovely lady was today's featured image.

While I appreciate the idea of customized shopping pages, that "Long-Sleeved Mesh Sleep Shirt and Matching Lace G-String" really isn't my style.

But yeah, if you want to see sexy ladies on your Amazon homepage every time you login, order a bra through the site. I feel like I'm shopping for books at Frederick's of Hollywood.

(Note: I'm not actually shopping for books. I'm doing research on Jesse McCartney for work, and it's starting to hurt my brain.)

Sadness

I bought organic blueberries at Whole Foods today and they were 4.99 for an eency-weency container. I almost bought two containers, but then I realized that would involve spending $10 on what amounts to a handful of blueberries, and I couldn't do it.

I just opened the package and ruined my night. They are bland and mushy and kinda crushed (just like my blueberry dreams). Note to self: Stop buying fruit out of season, no matter how cute it looks in the store!!

Yeah!!

Lately my posts haven't been publishing, but I think I finally fixed the problem! (I'm using SFTP now, which involved changing a bunch of settings.)

New button

Last night I went to see Say Hi to Your Mom, and bought this cute song-lyric button:

They played a bunch of songs I hadn't heard before, but it was still a fun show. I wish more bands sang about robots and technology and video games. I just reread the post I wrote about Say Hi to Your Mom a year ago, when I lived on the other side of the country. When I wrote it, I never suspected I'd end up moving back to Brooklyn and living near the very subway stop mentioned in the lyrics. Weird.

Yet another sign that I'm spending too much time on my computer

I just tried to squeeze some honey out of a bear-shaped dispenser into my tea. The honey is kind of old, so it's starting to develop grainy chunks. My first thought was, "Why is my honey getting all pixely?" Then I realized that honey does not get pixelated, it gets granulated. Unless you use Photoshop on granulated honey, in which case it can be both:

I should've known.

The DVD player in my computer has been screwing up like crazy. I had to watch a movie tonight for work, and it stopped halfway through and wouldn't start again. I opened up the DVD drawer to see if there was something wrong with the new DVD, and it looked fine. Then I started blowing on the little tray, thinking maybe it was dusty (the old-Nintendo-cartridge school of computer repair). While checking for dust, I noticed that one of the circular parts had a long pink hair wrapped around it.

I pulled the hair out, tried again, and the DVD played fine. This is the first time my hair has sabotaged my computer. Usually it just breaks vacuums.

Cotton candy robot

Here's another little part of the carnival thing I'm working on:




I wish I could give him a hug. He looks like he needs one.
