Today I learned that the little “RSS” button that appears in the bottom right hand corner of Firefox on certain webpages actually serves a purpose. Who knew? When I’m reading a favorite blog, I can click on that button, and it will bookmark that site for me. But not just bookmark. Oh no. It’s WAAAAAY cooler than that. When I got to my bookmarks and click on one of my favorite blogs, it will list ALL THE RECENT ENTRIES!!!! This means I can click on “margaritaville” and see hmmmm….Jamie hasn’t posted anything new.

DAMMIT JAMIE POST SOMETHING NEW!!!!

heee…heee…..

So I can skip around to only the blogs that have been updated recently, instead of clicking stalker-style down my link list over and over again, which has apparently bugged some people.

Anyway, it’s a cool little feature.

Pfft! Are you STILL using Internet Explorer??? I shall turn up my nose in disdain at you. Bah!

In other news, the fabric store is closed on sundays. CURSE THEM TO AN UNIMAGINABLE DOOOOOOOOM!!!! I need more fabric for my costume. So instead of working on my costume, I am doodling around the internet and making RSS bookmarks. yay!

***update note: the irony is, the person who made FUN of me for stalking his site apparently doesn’t have an RRS enabling whatever on his blog. So I can’t bookmark him. HAHA! The stalking continues…

beware the lumpy devil woman!!!!

the weekend checklist is suffering badly. Not much checked off it of. Today we went to see Team America World Police, which is pretty damned funny. But a word of warning: if you think South Park is stupid, immature, and full of potty humor, you will NOT LIKE THIS MOVIE!!! If, however, you LOVE south park and have a functioning sense of humor, you will enjoy this movie.

After the movie I dropped $60 at PetCo for dog food, poopy pick up bags, and treats. Ouch! But the 40lb bag of dog food will last until May.

I got started on the halloween costume tonight. There was some panicking when I realized I no long had the instructions for my sewing machine. I don’t sew very often, and I’m really terrible at it.

“then WHY are you sewing your costume, ESC???”

because I’m a glutton for punishment. Shut up.

And I wasn’t sure I remembered how to set it up. I turned on the laptop to see if maybe, just maybe, the company (Euro-pro) had the manual online. And who did I get an offline message from??? Why, Blogville’s resident seamstress, Aimee, of course! She wanted to know how my sewing was going. HELP MEEEEEEEE!!!! It took some furious IM’ing, some digital pictures, and two phone calls, but somehow we managed to configure the machine so that it didn’t bunch up the thread every time I tried to stitch. Stoooopid bobbin!!!! So, THANKS AIMEE!!!! *SMOOCHES!*

Got as much done as I could tonight. I need to go buy some fabric to finish up tomorrow. I tried what I had on, and…..eh. Looks a little bunchy in the front. And it shows off my lumpiness nicely - WAH! I’ll be a lumpy devil woman!

So EVERYONE is buzzing about the upcoming Kansas City trip. Gah! A trip! That will be expensive! And I’m SO FUCKING POOR!!!! But I REALLY want to go. And not just ’cause I want to meet everyone. But also because this little childish voice in me is saying

you know if you don’t go, then from now on, everyone will be like “hey, remember that time in Kansas City? When blah blah Pup blah blah blah Kate blah blah blah a monkey???? That was hilLARious!!!!” and everyone will be all “HAHAHAHA!!! That was sooooo funny? Remember that ESC? oh yeah, YOU didn’t go.” and you will be sad and pathetic and everyone will hate you.

This is ridiculous, I know. I’m already sad and pathetic. But that’s beside the point.

I think I may be able to swing it. Round trip flights from atlanta to KC are just under $200. And if we all share hotel rooms….and hotel rooms are cheap…and if someone can get me from the airport…I MIGHT just be able to go! Yay!

Maybe.

yes. definately.

Most likely.

I’ll look into it.

ack!

Hut 1, hut 2…

ahhhh…friday. Glorious! I’m going to sneak out of here as soon as I’m done posting this. Nice day, productive, but then…not so. I had lunch with some grad school friends. Well, I’M still in grad school, they have recently graduated but have stuck around. One is my friend Emily who is VERY VERY PREGNANT. I have two very pregnant friends. I am surrounded by fertility - ACK!

Emily is due Nov 2. I haven’t seen her in a while, so the belly was significantly bigger than I remembered. Whoa! She’s also chock full of interesting factoids about pregnancy. I am more convinced than ever to adopt. The girl has bruised ribs. BRUISED RIBS!!! From little baby kicks! That kid is going to be a SOCCER STAR if those in utero kicks are bruise inducing.

But the three of us had a nice looooooong lunch, and I’m still full of Mellow Mushroom’s Calzone…stuffed with spinach, mushrooms, and tomaters. (that’s right. tomaters.) Mmmmmm.

This weekend’s goals:

1. make halloween costume
2. decorate for halloween.
3. clean the bathroom.
4. come up with a party menu
5. jump Kevin often.

sound like a plan? OK….BREAK *clap!*

have a great weekend everyone!

Magically delicious!

mmmmm…it’s almost 1 am and I’m eating a bowl of lucky charms and watching Conan O’Brian. It doesn’t get any better. Well, yes it does, but hey - Lucky Charms! Yum!

And I just talked to Jamie for over an hour on the phone. Yay! Bloggers are real people, and they have midwesternish-chicagoesque accents! Well, she did anyway. Kevin said we sounded like a couple of teenagers - much giggling and shrieking going on. Heehee!

So in spite of the fact that I’m in a “break expensive lab equipment” phase this week (wtf??? Don’t hand me any babies), it’s been a good day.

And I hear baseball has gotten exciting lately. How nice. I think I read an article about it somewhere. Certainly I wouldn’t have found out from EVERY BLOG I’VE READ RECENTLY!!! Geez! Settle down, people! Focus! Election coming up. Very important…don’t be blinded by baseball.

That is all.

Desperate TV-wives

Now, this is really pissing me off right here. Why is the American Family Association protesting an show about adults, FOR adults, that’s on at 9pm, when kids should be in bed anyway???

I’ve been watching Desperate Housewives since it premered, and now I’m hooked. I think it’s the only new show I’m watching this season. And it pisses me off that there’s a possibility that a fairly decent show, in a season filled with mindless reality, might be CANCELLED because some stick up their ass, “family value” promoting fucktards, who probably have everything on their cable box blacked out except the god channel and PAX, think that a show about bored housewives will DESTROY THE MORAL FABRIC OF SOCIETY!!! JUST SHUT THE HELL UP AND LET ME ENJOY ONE MEASELY SHOW THAT’S NOT BASED ON SOMEONE GETTING “VOTED OFF” SOMETHING!!!!!!

*pant gasp pant*

Yeah, I’m done now.
