rehab

May 30th, 2007

heh. no i’m not going into rehab. i’m referring to the song “rehab” by amy winehouse. -) i love the song… and i love amy winehouse’s music. but it seems to have been my theme today. it was the last song i heard on my car radio before i got to work… and the first song i hear as i turn on my car to leave work. funny eh?

sorry i haven’t been posting much.. i’ve just been so overwhelmed with stuff… it’s not a bad thing.. it’s just that i need to focus more of my energy on the “stuff” i have to do. it will slow down soon enough. but for now… entertain yourself by visiting nikkiana‘s new message boards: the chatty cafe.

that’s all for now. happy wednesday. -)

photo hunters: colorful

May 25th, 2007

this week’s photo hunters theme is ‘colorful’. i had so many pictures that i could have used (since i’m such a fan of colorful ‘stuff’… i guess that just goes along with being an artist. eh?) but i found this picture that i took when i was in times square in new york. we were walking along the sidewalk, and i saw a really shiny awning overhead, and took a picture of myself to send to mirror project dot com. i’m the least blurry figure… the one in the black shirt and a light colored backpack. all the colors that appeared in the photo were mainly a surprise due to extended exposure goodness. -)

colorful

anyways. have a great weekend everyone. i’ve got a busy one, so hence the reason why i’m posting this early. -)

photo hunters: cooked

May 19th, 2007

this week’s photo hunters theme is “cooked” or “cooking” … and since i don’t cook very much… i figured i would post one of the rare things that i have cooked. this is my attempt at a danish “kebab pizza”. it actually turned out pretty good for kinda “guessing” on how to make the kebab. (thanks to google, i found around 15 webpages, each with a different way to spice the meat ‘kebab-like’ -) i kinda guessed on which one would work the best.) anyways.. yes.. there is lettuce and ranch dressing on top of that pizza. when we first got to danmark… i thought this was weird and thought that it wouldn’t taste very good to have my “salad” on top of my pizza… but boy was i wrong! this is probably one of my favorite pizzas now! -)

hey look, shiny things

May 18th, 2007

hey all you website owners out there…

here’s a website that you should check out. it’s called tag a cloud

tag a cloud

(isn’t that logo cool? their website is pretty as well.. but i digress)

so what is tag a cloud you ask? you basically put your website link with some catchy word (mine’s “shinyThings”… sorry tracy -) )

and for all you who don’t own a website or a blog, visit anyways.. it’s kinda fun to randomly ‘surf’ the web via tag a cloud. i’ve discovered some great and entertaining things through there. -)

so yea.. there’s my commercial for the day. i’ll post a real post soon. i promise. -)

new bag and a broken phone.

May 10th, 2007

first i’ll start out with the broken phone. it’s not really *completely* broken.. only broken to the point of being annoying. -) the little plug on the bottom of my phone, where i plug it in to charge it… is… well.. picky. i have to position the cord a certain way (usually it takes a good couple minutes to play around with it to make the connectors… well.. connect…. so that it will charge) and then TAPE the cord that way. annoying? yes.

but today i got to work and i had a package at my desk! i wasn’t expecting this package so early, so it was a nice surprise. but i ordered a new messenger bag/laptop case. why did i order a new bag you ask? well let me show you….


(note where the arrow is pointing. no. that is not a feature or an ‘extra pocket’.. that would be the bag ripping apart at the seams… literally)

and here’s my new bag:

sorry those pictures are so bad. i only have my camera phone (yes.. the half broken phone i mentioned earlier) so here’s a better picture (from the tumi website) of my new bag…

now hopefully this bag will last longer than my old one.. since i got that old bag around a year ago. this new bag was a little more expensive… but it has a lifetime warranty, so that might help things.

yay for new stuff. but now my lunch break is over. *waves*
