3 Months and Counting

We have finally gotten our reservation for the wedding ceremony at San Francisco’s City Hall.  Thank goodness!  Now, we just have to find our wedding invitations and get them.. and also send them out… as well as get my dress, arrange the favors for the reception, get the tuxes reserved, flowers reserved, and a hotel [...]

I’m so excited now!
I finally got the Handbrake application to work and now, I finally, FINALLY, ripped two Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes to put on my new iPod Touch.  I’m currently working on a movie.
The secret?  Making sure the format of the rip will be for iphone/ipod touch.  Wasn’t that simple?  I think it [...]

Don’t you just hate it when you purchase something, thinking that you can do whatever it claims it can do?  For example, your iPod Touch can play videos and movies as well as music and you can surf the Internet and such..
Well, nobody really tells you that in order to watch movies on your iPod [...]

One more thought…

In a recent post, I ranted about how we were overrun by stupid little gnats in the house.  We have a serious problem with this gnats now.. they are all over the house and especially in the bathroom and the kitchen — two places where it’s nice and humid.
I believe this was because I used [...]

Good News!

R got some good news from the job front yesterday.  He had gone to an examination for the state at the end of June…and he said he did quite well.  Since then, we’ve been sitting on pins and needles, waiting for the results — especially in this tight job market.
On Saturday, we got a letter [...]

I think I’m really spoiled right now… I ended up purchasing an iPod touch in order to maybe replace my older ipod, spike.  Spike still works, but this little iPod can play music and movies, as well as surf the internet (so long as there’s WiFi available).  Woo hoo!

I guess I should have known that my beta fish would not enjoy sharing a tank with anything but I figured that what he couldn’t see wouldn’t hurt him…  WRONG!  We ended up getting some ghost shrimp in order to maybe keep the tank clean.  (That little beta fish can poo like a bull!)
We bought a [...]

In my previous post, Scams Galore, I basically gave a sample email from a scammer who claimed that I was owed riches.  Well, that’s not all, folks.
Today, I received this:

Dear Sir / Ma,

Okay, that title can be a bit deceiving.  A week ago, we got Nemo.  He is a beta fish, who lived in a small 1/2 gallon tank on our kitchen counter, facing the living room and the kitchen.  We thought he was cute and he is still cute.
Then, I read on the Internet that we [...]

Scams Galore

Is it me or have I been getting too many email scams lately? I’ve written about scams before…And I thought I’ve gotten over it.  But now, I’ve been flooded with messages from places where they claim I am a beneficiary and am owed money like this:
 

Hello once Again

I have been waiting for you since to [...]

Do Fish Sleep?

I’ve often wondered if they do.  Nemo is currently sitting on the bottom of the tank, on the lip of the gravel garden container, and he’s not moving.  He’s sleeping, I think, because if he was dead, then he would be floating upside down or on his side with his eyes glazed over. (God, I [...]

Schizophrenia??

Naw, I just got a little bored with the grass template.  So, I thought I’d try this one on for size.  Don’t be surprised if this template changes once again.  I think I’m quite notorious for having low loyalty to any one template. LOL!
Besides, I wouldn’t mind hearing what you all think of this template. [...]

Well, I finally got a letter that told me my check is on its way.  Funny, isn’t it?  The government will go out of its way to let you know that it’s coming, but why don’t they just send us the check instead of the letter?
Wouldn’t you think that if they had sent the check [...]

An Addition to the Family

 
We were in PetCo today, just to look around and maybe get a toy for my brother’s kitties.  What we ended up with was a new beta fish…  R calls him “Nemo”, even though he wasn’t a clown fish.  Funny thing is, Nemo likes to watch me do things.. he was watching me play Okami [...]

Not to Say

It’s a nice quiet evening.  
Not only is it the day before the 4th of July… I get to spend it all alone!  Yippie!  Not that I like being alone.  It’s a nice change.  I got to take a nice hot bath and give myself a home pedicure!  I also got to clean up the [...]
