I love my MacBook Pro. Everyone knows that. I would be LOST without her. But I have to admit I’m getting REALLY annoyed with Apple Mail lately.
For some reason spam has just been FLOODING me! HARD CORE flooding me. And it’s really getting annoying. I wish that Apple would build in some of the technologies that spam assassin uses. I sure hope that the next version is MUCH better at catching spam.
It’s also been crashing nearly every day! I’m not sure what the problem is. I’ve tried rebuilding my mailboxes like everyone says to do, and that just doesn’t help at all! Hopefully Apple is getting sick of all my bug reports and they will fix whatever the issue is!
I downloaded a preview of Leopard a while back and have to say that I love it. I used it for a while off my external HD, I’ll be out there the day it comes out buying the new version!
Friday night Robert came over about 9:45ish and we hung around here. Invited my neighbor girl and then headed out to Weho. Met up with Jason there and then later Mayko. It was a really good time. The neighbor girl and Mayko REALLY talked like the whole night away, it was funny. Either way, we hung out and ate pizza and had a great night. Sadly I kept forgetting to take pictures! 🙁
Saturday I got up and went and did laundry and then baked my cake. It didn’t turn out very well. 🙁 But it still tastes good. I spent the night at home alone….
Sunday I got up early and headed over to Mayko’s picked him up and we went out to the outlet malls. I got some good purchases, but I was hoping for more shirts, pants, etc. But I really love the few things we did buy. I still have $100 left of what I was going to spend out there. I need to buy new sandles for sure yet. My parents also called me to say Happy-Bday.
Drove him home about 4 and then came home and spent the night hanging out here.
So yeah, it was a pretty good birthday weekend, could have been more fun. But alas. Happy B-Day to me! 😀
My scope for today says this: “But we are subdued by an isolating opposition from warm Venus to cold Saturn that challenges our self-esteem and makes us wonder if we are truly loved.” So true…
“The Senate’s high-profile ethics and lobbying reform bill was sidetracked yesterday after conservatives voted against further consideration of the bill because it didn’t include an amendment giving President Bush line-item veto power, the ability to single out individual spending items in legislation for elimination.
Umm, last I checked Line-Item Veto was ruled unconstitutional back in 1998. So why are we pushing for it again?
Amazing shot of Toyko at night. I think I wanna go there this year. Maybe if I’m still talking to Mayko in November he can come with! haha
I want this waterfall in my house.
Check out these COOL Soviet Era bus stops! The real question is why are the all out in the middle of NO WHERE?
Apparently you can still cancel your Verizon contract even if you have a txting plan. However, it seems that Cingular doesn’t want your business until the iPhone actually does come out.
Detox your diet. I’m gonna have to start having more green tea or something.
The Aids/Lifecycle Campsites have been announced.. check them out. So who’s coming to which nights to hang out with me? haha.
And now for some real news. I posted a while back that my building was for sale, etc. Well, on Monday the boss called me and I had a total Office Space moment. The boss asked that I send him a list of what I do, and how much time it takes up. I could honestly only account for about 50% of my time. Since before Christmas, no new projects have been sent to me and I don’t have any LONG TERM projects that really keep me busy. Well today, he calls me again and basically said that they want me to start working out of that office 3 days a week so that they can integrate me on some other projects down there. Because PHS hasn’t fully utilized my time like they kept talking about when I moved up here! UGH.
WHAT TO DO!? :'(
But either way, starting Monday I will be in Newport Beach M,W,F and Santa Monica T,R.
So after I posted the new layout, I put up a thing on the WordPress.org Forums to get feedback it. OMG! These people seriously need to take a chill pill. The complaints they had:
1) The colors are hidious.
2) When I increase the font, it screws everything up
3) You should “always” use a Sans Serif Font
4) The font is to small
5) Include IE hacks.
Ok. Lets go with these in order
1) If the colors are so bad, then why don’t you fucking suggest some better ones? OH WAIT! Your blog is just a fucking STANDARD WORDPRESS THEME that any idiot can download!
2,3,4) All dealing with the font. OK, first off. I keep my monitors at the HIGHEST resolution possible. I have NO PROBLEM reading the font size. It’s a standard 12point font! And are you serious? The black font is to hard to read!? WTF! Are these people like 80 year olds who forgot to put on the glasses this mornig? Now in all honesty, yes the WHITE LINKS are hard to read. I’m trying to find a solution I like for it.
5) NO, I will not include IE hacks. IE should learn to play with the rest of the world correctly. And you are not “Stuck” with IE, it takes 10 seconds to go to the Firefox page and download it. IE is 60% of my page views, and although I’m sure it looks perfectly FINE in IE. I prefer to have the message to support a new browser and not M$ dominance. What’s so wrong about that.
Seriously, this is a personal blog. I was asking for general feedback, not to be torn apart. Looking for constructive help is fine, if you’ve got something to ADD to it, then let me know. Don’t just make basic comments.
I watched Beauty and the Geek last night. OMG, can Niels get any HOTTER?! Holy shit, that’s the boy I wanna marry! Someone find me one of my own.
Speaking of boys, Nic came over last night as well and we hung out for a while. That was good to chill with him again. He’s turned down the last 3 invites I put forth. Mayko also called me late last night and we chatted for a bit. I had a really funny story for him. I’d like to repeat it here, but it’s a bit too graphic.
I put up a new pic on Myspace, and I’ve seriously been getting 4-5 real people messaging me every day! It sure makes me feel good. But when I’m chatting with them I can never remember who is who! lol. I’d like to hang out with all of them, but there’s just not enough time.
You know, I HATE when people call me up and ask for advice on electronics or computers or what not. And then they do the exact oposite and come compain at me when what they did breaks something.
IE, Evil Aunt is buying a new computer.She asks me what she should do. I say go to the dell.com website and find the best computer you can for what you are willing to spend. What does she do? Instead she goes to fucking QVC and buys a computer off there! UGH! She sends me the specs… She spent $900 at QVC, dell.com is selling the EXACT SAME COMPUTER for $359!! hahah
IE#2, nearly 6 years ago the G&G bought a desktop computer. I kept saying, get them a Mac, get a Mac, blah blah blah. I knew I would have to provide support for them, etc. The Evil Aunt kept saying, “No, I’ll help them, get them a computer I can help with, blah blah blah”. Well they got a dell, right off the bat I had to teach the Gma how to do everything. Some of the other family helped a little, but most of the stuff she had to learn I had to teach her. And of course now that things are really starting to get fucked up… She calls me up all the time with her problems! And it’s not EASY to talk her through things.. “You see the ‘File,Edit,View’ buttons at the top”? …. “No”. OMG! I don’t USE windows. I honestly have no idea how to do most of the steps in windows any more. If I’m sitting there using it I can do it, but trying to talk someone through deleting an Outlook Express account from memory is basically impossible for me to do over the phone. If we had got her a fucking MAC like I suggested years ago it would be NO PROBLEM!
Remember sex guy upstairs, the one that MOVED OUT!? Well the new guy is having loud sex at all hours of the night as well… And I’ve YET to figure out who the hell actually lives there. I Swear every day there’s a new guy walking in and out of there… There was one hot 20-something that was going in and out one day. YUM! But no matter who LIVES there, I’ve only seen MEN coming and going!
I am officially signed up for Tour De Palm Springs Yay! This will be my first Century (100 miles in one day!) Wish me luck! Anyone want to come out to Palm Springs for the weekend with me??? I’ll be gone all day Saturday, but Friday night and Sunday morning we can do something. Perhaps shopping at the outlet mall?
You know what’s amazing about SoCal in winter? You can ride your bike down the strand and see people wearing:
A) Laying on the beach wearing a bikini
B) Playing Volleyball in board shorts
C) Walking on the strand in shorts/t-shirt and flipflops
D) Sitting on a bench wearing jeans and a sweater
E) Walking the dog in a heavy jacket, stocking cap, and gloves
F) All of the above….
People are crazy!
I’m REALLY getting sick of people ditching me at the last minute for things. Ever since the New Year, I’ve been trying to schedule things for EVERY night of the week, be it staying in and chatting with someone, going to coffee, or hitting up a club.. I want to get out of my house. I’m tired of being stuck here.
Now, go back through and count the number of nights that I have actually gone out. It’s not near every night. Infact, it seems that MOST of my week-day activities get cancelled at the last minute. And I’m SICK of it. Chiba really pushed me over the edge on Tuesday night. He and I had made plans LAST week to go out to Beige. So I txt him at 3:30 to see if he’s still wanting to go. No reply. He gets online at 7ish and messages me… We talk for a while and after a bit I ask him if he’s still going, he says he will see…. So anyways, 9 comes, and he still doesn’t know, then 9:30.. He’s just now starting his HW…. So at 9:50 I tell him. I need to know if you are going or not because if not then I am going to bed or or if we are then I need to change. Anyways, so we got into an argument about it because it was very annoying and I just snapped because I’m so tired of people cancelling on me!
He called later that night and we had like an hour long discussion about it and how I’m so much more managed in my life then nearly everyone he or I knows here in LA. I manage my time, I manage my money. The only thing I can’t do is manage my social life! I also don’t double schedule things, so if someone cancels on me, I’m screwed. And double scheduling is a VERY LA thing to do. I’m sorry, but I’m not going to turn into an asshole just because I live here. Either way we talked and it was good, I wish we could have more in-depth convos like that to connect. It’d be nice at least. He called me again like an hour after that, I’m not sure what he wanted, but I was pretty sleepy so we just basically said Hi and then Bye. lol
Mayko said he really wanted to hang out for my Birthday, so that was nice of him. I’m thinking that Sunday I can head over his way and we can go shopping or something. I figure I can afford to spend like $300 on myself for my birthday. Maybe take a trip out to the outlet malls or what not, and I really like his style of dress, so that’d be fun!
I’m not too sure what I’m going to do for it though. I really wanted to have a group of people and go out to dinner, but since no one can ever commit to anything and two of my better friends are in a bitter fighting match right now, I just said screw it. So Friday night I’m pretty much not doing anything at this point, Saturday day I am doing laundry, that night one of the guys at work is having a bowling party which I may or may not go to depending on if I go on a ride Sunday morning. And then as I said, probably hang out with Chiba on Sunday afternoon. I’m also thinking of baking myself a Pink Champange Cake. Which behind Ice Cream Cake, is my favorite!
This morning I really wasn’t in the mood to roll out of bed, so I slept in till 6. I was on the freeway by 6:30 and traffic was already at a dead stand still. Why can’t I just work from home. Seriously, I NEVER interact with the people in this office.
