Hi! I’m blogging via iphone. Typing on this is a pain in the ass. Yay bye.

Well, my laptop of three years has finally failed on me. I was watching a show on it last night when I decided to restart the computer. The problem was it didn’t start up again after the reboot though because the hard drive failed– complete with the pathetic click noise at start up to boot.

Oh my poor, cheap eMachines latptop, I will miss you dearly. Mostly I will miss all my files but I will miss you too. You were my favorite out of my tiny collection of computers because we had a history. You were my entertainment during my freshman year at Baylor when my parents were too cheap to buy me a separate TV. I know it’s not your fault that you’re now useless. I completely blame the shitty Hitachi hard drive that you came with because this has already happened to me once before.

During my freshman year, after having this laptop for only six months, the hard drive failed for the first time. Luckily, there was nothing important on the computer at the time so it wasn’t a big deal then. But after two years of amassing my entire life on this computer, you would think I would have enough brains to back it up every once in a while. Like my old graphics teacher used to say, “Save early, save often.” Trust me, this lesson was learned the second time around.

If you know of any hard drive recovery solutions, leave me a message on meebo (that pink thing to the right). I’ve just realized that my only windows machine is dead. Now I finally have to get used to all those mac shortcuts. Ctrl key, I miss you already.

P.S – I’m moving this weekend and I have to pack up all my junk in the next two nights! Fun!

So, I finally log into facebook after months if ignoring/avoiding/not having enough time for it. And now it grossly reminds me of MySpace. It’s a social “utility” gone wrong. There’s top friends requests and a ton of other unnecessary things. (Who cares what kind of drunk you are?) I would delete my account but it’s the easiest way to keep track of any of the 200 people that I no longer have time to talk to. Some people never change….

Anyways, sorry to the few people that’ve remembered me and tried to add me to their “top friends” — I just don’t believe in it. If you knew me any better you would have known that I would protest to a top friends list. To the people that have written on my wall or messaged me, I’m too lazy to reply to you all right now. To my other facebook “friends” — it was lovely catching up. Glad to know all of you are doing well: Graduated, married, pregnant, still partying, and so on. Hope to catch up again soon, etc. Byebye now!

Hello devoted readers and random internet stalkers.

It’s about that time of the month again where I cram tons of excitement into just one post. Aren’t you psyched? Here we go again.

This past weekend, boyfriend and I took a nice little trip to San Antonio. Originally we were planning just to go to SeaWorld for the day and drive back home around midnight. But being the lazy bastards that we are, we found ourselves at the river walk and decided to stay at the Hyatt Regency instead. (I managed to talk the room down to half the normal rate. The key was to repeatedly mention the Omni.) Anyways, sea world was fun– even the “fake” Shamu and the roller coasters.

Since this post has been waiting to be published for a few days now, let me make it short and sweet by putting everything in list format:

1. Boyfriend got a mac, nearly free from shopfreepay.com. Yes, I too am amazed that these sites actually work. I, on the other hand, still love my old blue iMac.
2. I am now obsessed with Big Love. I rented the entire first season and finished it off just in time for the second season to start. Who knew polygamy could be so dramatic.
3. I want to buy a 2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder but I can’t find one that has tiptronic (aka SMT) transmission. I’m too remedial and a lazy driver to drive a manual. If I can’t find one soon I’ll give up and look for a Civic coupe.

The end!

Hello Houston. More specifically, hello Houston drivers. I understand that driving in Houston is a skill, and most of you are lacking. Yes, most of it is because you are on your cell phone and too busy to play the avoid-the-other-cars-game. But for your safety and mine, buy a bluetooth headset so you can at least have two hands free: one to drive with and one to gesture wildly with. Also, blind spots do exist, people. Please do not run over me and my tiny car.

Aside from all of that, my most recent pet peeve from Houston drivers is that these people that cannot park. Last weekend, I went to a movie premiere; and when I got out, the person parked beside me was not only half parked in my space but also parked diagonally, making it impossible for one to back out. So…Houston:

It was so annoying that I actually put a post-it note (with the same message above) for this driver on their driver’s side door. If that was you, I’m sorry but you were blocking my way. Also, to all of you at Fry’s the other day: You are lucky I had no post-it notes on me. If I had some, all of you would have received notes such as: “Learn to Read– You do not drive a compact car!” It really isn’t that difficult. Just follow the rules of the parking lot and you and I can co-exist and park peacefully. Don’t follow the rules and you’ll be getting one of these notes from me. Love, the parking ninja.

P.S. — yay! finals are over!!

Happy April Fool’s Day to all. This was an…interesting weekend which started out with a “small tornado” tearing out the brick wall outside of our apartment. I wouldn’t mind the fact that we have no brick wall anymore except that it also means there’s no electricity. And when there’s no electricity…there’s no internet. I would be completely okay with living without electricity as long as I somehow still had access to the web. Also, the Rockets lost tonight to the Utah Jazz. Boyfriend and I were there for the game (in one of the suites, no less)– it was close but the bullshit calls (stupid refs) and the fact that yao was carrying the team the first quarter that made us lose in the end. [recap]

Also, I can’t believe that I fell for Gmail Paper….I was looking for the button for about 10 minutes before realizing that it was April Fools. And I actually got excited over it.

Uh…I haven’t slept in 28 hours. So yeah…screw this.

[2 days later...]

I saw 300 this weekend (in IMAX, no less) and I only have one complaint from this movie. Why did Xerxes have to be so gay-looking? See below:

I can’t take any bad guys seriously if they wear nail polish, lipstick, and their eyebrows are more groomed than mine.

I found this over at PostSecret this week. I don’t understand the relevance of penises to the giraffes in this postcard. Giraffe…penises? I don’t get it. After a quick google search and a wikipedia, I still don’t know how big a giraffe’s penis is. All I got was this. Anyways, saying “giraffe penis” makes me giggle so I had to share. (Giggle count while writing this post: 4 5)

As I see it, there are three types of postsecret postcards this week. First off, we have the emo:

The silly-slash-funny:

And lastly, the sad-slash-family-related ones:

And no favorite this week either, though the giraffe one came pretty close.

I am blogging via a nintendo wii. k. thx. bye.
