photographs

253 photos so far in 2009. of those, at least 150 were taken by someone else. Probably 50 of them are of my daughter. 53 are random. I do not prioritize photographs the way that some people do. For a short time, I remembered to take pictures of Pearl because she asked me to. Today was her 4th birthday party (her birthday was Thursday), so there was some requisite photo taking. But my mom took most of them.

Yes. Yes, I am very, very interesting.

Hahaha!

My boyfriend, who is like the best guy ever,--No, actually, he's not like him. He is him.--told me he read my new blogs the other day. By new, I guess he meant that he read the blogs I wrote in March. Back when I was still working at the car dealership. I'd forgotten I had a blog, seriously. Seriously. So I'm thinkin' aw shit. I needs to do me some bloggin'.

Here's what's interesting.

In phase two of awesome birthday cake for 4-year-old (yesterday) daughter.
Been cooking some pretty delicious stuff of late. Recipes at www.allrecipes.com, www.foodnetwork.com and www.epicurious.com.
Am highly sleepy, but will be up for some time longer (see cake, above).
Doing consistent freelance editing stuff, have discovered serious detestation of ellipses.
Switched jobs again.
Moved.
Decided to lose some weight.
Drink too much coffee.
Had a sister graduate from high shool.
Had another sister turn 21.
Wish I could get back some of my innocence.
Will! Write! Romance! Novel! (Please, no judging. People READ them).

Finally, I will try to write more blogs. I will try. I don't really know who I'm writing them for. This blog is not nearly so artful as others' blogs. Nor is it focused enough to really gain a niche following. Blah Blah.

Lame

Sheesh. I am a bad, bad blogger. I will blog more soon. I swear. As soon as things calm down. As soon as the moon is full. As soon as my feet grow two sizes. As soon as I start talking to my old friends again. As soon as I get some time. As soon as minutes get longer. As soon as a duck returns my call. As soon, just as soon as I can.

I love Pandora

So this very attractive hipster man came into my office at the job one day. His name was David Romeo, of all super-perfect-literary-life-moment things. I was listening to Pulp (sorry kids, all I care to invest the time to find is a fan site), on CD in the CD drive of my horrid work computer. It wasn't even a burned CD. It was the proper CD with the case and liner notes and everything. Not MP3s. [It seems relevant to note that I am kind of slow on this whole music technology thing. I won an iPod Nano a few months ago at this thing, and I put like 9 songs on it and that is that. I keep thinking I should put the whole music library on it and put it in my car so I can listen to anything without messing with CDs, but I like CDs. Then I think I should sell it on eBay. But I bet the next big thing is coming out, so I missed my moment on the Nano selling.]

So David Romeo, who is trying to talk me into getting my bosses to get us up and running with eBay Motors goes, "Are you listening to Pandora?"
"No. Pulp." I said.
"I know." He said. "You should try Pandora. It's online radio and free. You tell it what you like, and it plays music like that."
"Cool." So of course, as soon as David Romeo leaves my office with cards for my bosses (who are luddites), I set up my Pandora account.

Anyway. So I made 2 Pandora stations so far. It's like LastFM which my Mac-antagonizing, hipster-mocking, IT boyfriend prefers. So if you are like a boyfriend of mine (who is also divine), maybe you would like LastFM more.

And Pandora has these cool concerts. And the whole reason I wanted to make this blog was to say that I'm so pumped about the embedded video. Pandora told me he was good for people who like Jeff Buckley. And I do. But I can't listen much because he, like Johnny Cash, makes me weep. I do not know how people can live and feel so much. I guess they can't because neither JC nor JB are still with us.

Lookeee!

Vocations

Okay, so I did the impossible. I procured a different job in these our uncertain economic times! I even think I'm really going to enjoy it.

So hopefully, since I will have soon pulled myself out of this crazy job in which I suffer now I will be happier and less defeated-feeling and more-able to write blogs. Stay tuned, my people. Stay tuned.
