You can use it if you don’t live in the US, too! Nice touch.

The Japanese think of anything. With the Tengu, you can choose up to seven different facial expression to sing along with your music.

A trip to Paris is my dream vacation. I envision staying in a typical Parisian hotel room deep in character with a similar kind of view. But…
Welcome to the Seven Hotel in Paris where the suites are movie-themed! How fun! Unfortunately, I only recognize three out of the seven movies. LOL! But how cool would it be to stay in that 007 Suite. Cue the theme song and hand me a martini.

Aren’t most photos nowadays taken with an iPhone now? All they need is Instagram, eh? Does anybody know how to use a 35 mm camera or digital camera?
I admit, I don’t use my digital camera as often as I use to. It’s pretty heavy to carry around even tho it’s small and fits in my purse. And I take awhile to download the photos on my computer. New Year resolution? (Nope, I don’t do resolutions… I do “improvements”… booyah)

Lesson Learned: Troubleshooting
I don’t think I’ve really delved back into blogging since the Stanley Cup Finals (SCF). Not because of devastation or disappointment from the run… but because I hadn’t really made the effort. Well, that and I’m just plain lazy which is the same thing. From even before the SCF til now, I’ve been bookmarking and starring items (a là Google Reader) a bunch of posts I’ve seen that I want to mention and talk about later when I had the time. I remember I had maaaany… above 550 items that I wanted to share my thoughts (hence the name of my blog… duh).
Tonight was the night of blogging fury and get some posts lined up for the next couple days (possibly weeks worth if I made that decision to get Starbucks after 7pm). I logged on and did that routine of fn+right arrow key to go all the way to the very beginning (or very last, however you look at it) post. I noticed that Google Reader doesn’t count the items what you star anymore so I just shrugged that off. I continued to press those keys until the scrolling came to a halt (strange because it usually takes a couple of minutes to get all the way down to the first (or last, however you look at it) post and at the bottom read “You have no more items”. How can that be? I know I had hundreds of posts stretching back from the beginning of the year!!! They can’t be all gone?! What’s going on?!
***Update: This is how I usually work. I complain first… and then complain some more. Then I get a light bulb and try something that could make whatever work again. And whaddya know? It works. So disregard what I said above. I got my posts back. All’s good and get ready for some posts next month. It’s late, I have a long day tomorrow, and it’s the Christmas season!! Oh, maybe I should do a Christmas post, eh?
Thanks for reading another one of my rants.
“Read the email” Rant
I finally sent out our save-the-dates via email (cheap and saves trees). I made a nice jpg with the announcement and wrote a little note at the bottom with a request to reply back with their current mailing address. And then, “Thanks! me and him”… blah blah blah.
Not only did we think this was a cheap way, but also efficient, n’est pas? Plus we would get a direct response and just copy/paste the address to the “wonderful” excel spreadsheet so there would be no mistakes when we mail the actual invitation out.
Imagine my (non) surprise when I received a handful of emails all saying the same thing, “Yes, this is my/our current email address… keep me/us posted” or not even that but a simple “Congratulations!” and nothing else. Ok, thank you for the congratulations but did you not read the rest of the email? What part of the email did it say email??? What part of the announcement says email??? I looked at the original email to make sure I didn’t make the mistake but no, it clearly says mailing address. Are you kidding me? And btw, it has nothing to do with age because that handful of emails came from all walks of life so it’s not an age-ist thing or whatever.
I even see this at work, too. Some people don’t read the email. I ask a bunch of questions but yet the reply has none of my questions answered but just with more questions… that I’ve already posed to the very person. I sometimes wonder if there is a use for email except to send forwards of YouTube clips or funny jokes or plain ol’ spam.
Anyway… thoroughly read the email. The sender will greatly appreciate it.
Three things crossed my mind when I first saw these images in various locations in the blogosphere: curiosity, freak out, then amazement.
Curiosity: what is this standing here? is this thing real?…
Just as you are about to touch it, the subject actually moves to reveal that it’s an actual person who got painted by Alexa Meade (painting portraits on actual people), you would…
Freak out: WTH?! OMG! *jump back*
once your heart stops racing from being absolutely surprised, you look at this concept with…
Amazement: like that photo below, you would naturally smile because it’s looks, for lack of a better word, cool. Then curiosity sets in again, you’d want to take a closer look.

Ummm wow. Just amazing what you can do with paper.
My cousin bought me an origami-a-day calendar, one of the coolest Christmas presents I have ever gotten. I brought it work so that I can start my day with making something by hand because I’m constantly on the computer… all. day. long. Even when I’m taking a break… I have to surf (on the interwebz*)
Eventually, I had to stop because once I started to progress, the creations were getting intricate and needed more time to make them. I can really use “company time” to make origami that’s not work-related…. or can I? Hmmmm…
Anyway, enjoy!!
*interwebz = internet

If you’re one to look at what people are wearing, like every detail to their clothing then this will pop right at you.
Kobi Levi is the creator of these shoes. Apparently, the Shoe-Stuck-In-Gum is common in Brooklyn but now, you’ll have gum on the bottom of your heel foreverrrr. Personally, I wouldn’t wear them, I’m not that risky in that sense. Lady Gaga should take note and call this dude up.

He’s got tons of shoes and check them out here.
Everyone knows the Old Spice commercial (Smell like a Man, Man).
Grover’s got his own rendition for Smell like a Monster.
I have tons of to-do lists. Many. And they are scattered everywhere. Recently, I discovered that I can’t use my iPhone to be the key holder of my to-do lists. I’m a write-it-down sort of girl, and then rank each item of importance and then location.
This is cute note pad. The footer is classic because, in most cases, it ends up that I don’t do it… and it’s not really a question anymore.
