sopranos- google map mashup

this site ads a whole new dimension to the hbo series sopranos. messes with my mind, makes it seem like what i know to be fiction actually happens.

i think this is brilliant. they should have done this for sex in the city!!

i have more friends now

i'm steve and i'm a super villian.

mcdonalds too?

all the fast food places are throwing their interactive hat in the ring lately, i guess.

here is mcdonalds latest:

i think this is weak, personally. almost worse than pizza hut's latest.

update: so i noticed that someone from the filetofish url visited my blog recently. as someone in the interactive industry, i have mixed feelings about that. it's good that they are checking how people are getting to the site, and it's sorta good that they will see my feedback, but i also feel a little guilty that i raked them so hard, since they probably worked hard to make filetofish. i guess that is the industry, right? you make it- some people love it, some people hate it.

buddy, i'm sorry but you got owned

(actually, buddy did just got owned by the bank for a 30 year mortgage)

moving party

we're having a moving party and we're feeding people who come and help us move into our new home. if you're interested in helping (we need all the help we can get), and if you haven't received your very own evite already, let me know and i'll send you one.

crazy snow

so my boss gave me the option to take a snow day today- cuz it snowed like 5 feet overnight (okay, slight exaggeration). i decided to work from home, but first i slept in (mmmm) and then i walked around the neighborhood taking pictures of the pretty snow.


















snow makes me happy.

contingencies lifted- it's ours!!

the offer was accepted
the inspection was immaculate
the appraisal came in just where we needed it to be

the house is ours!!

(there's actually a few tears of relief going on here)

instructables

how fun is this site? http://www.instructables.com/

if you keep refreshing the home page, you get an endless flow of project pictures.

i found instructions for making a marshmallow gun!














you've got to ask yourself one question- do i feel luck?

ethan winer- madman, or genius?

you decide: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6627904867875032821

















he talks about his efforts here: http://www.ethanwiner.com/rondo.html

(this part is a little scary for me to post because it might set high expectations for me, but...)
this guy uses an electric guitar to play one of the peices i'm considering playing for my cello recital- http://www.ethanwiner.com/romberg.mp3
what do you think?

anyone got kids?

tickleu is a cute site- http://www.tickleu.com/

i like kids.


i had this weird dream recently that i was a young teenager, but not myself (makes sense, right?). i was some brunette with a small round mouth (i know cause i looked in the mirror and thought to myself- what a strange small mouth i have) and i was taking care of these kids and trying to keep my mom from abusing them. they were cute and i had a lot of fun with them.


i have weird dreams when i sleep in past 8am.

cuppycake?

i want to meet the person that decided to post this. they are awesome.

Richard Harter- a bachelor?

not likely...

not if he can write something like this: http://www.bioteach.ubc.ca/quarterly/?p=108

"...Marsha performs toilet operations #1 and #2 with the seat in the down position. John performs toilet operation #1 with the seat in the up position and toilet operation #2 with the seat in the down position.

If the seat is in the wrong position before performing the toilet operation the position must be changed at an average cost C. Optionally the position may be changed after performing the toilet operation, also at an average cost C.

[Here's my favorite part]

(Changing the position of the seat during the performance of a toilet operation is beyond the scope of this note and is definitely not recommended.)"

poetry to a woman's heart, i tell ya!

pizza hut- keep trying

http://www.pizzahut.com/cheesybites/

apparently- jessica simpson can't even lip sync online...























she looks good, though. wonder if pizza huts main audience is boys.

inspection

the inspector was gushing about how great the house was. it was all he could do to come up with a half page of notes.

i've added more pictures here.

no, i'm not deeply and hopelessly in love with this place. in fact, i can barely stand to be in it (now please oh please let the appraisal go through).

i tried not to fall in love...

...but i couldn't help it. i'm in love with it already.

i'm still nervous about everything not working out, but i am in love with the house.

so i won't hold back pictures any longer, there's no use. i will already be crushed if it falls through, so why not jump all the way in, right?

if you wanna get lost in someone elses messed up life for a little while, and laugh a bit, check this site out.

thanks lori!

against my better judgement...

i'm posting this news to my blog...

we put an offer on another house today, and it was accepted (AND SIGNED).

i'm afraid to say anything else about it, much less post pictures, for fear that it will vaporize as quickly as the last one did.

but it's a nice house, and we're (gasp) happy that it might, maybe, sorta, kinda, almost be our new home (please, oh please).

it's only fishies...

eating other fishies...















but it's addictive.

zillow.com

okay, aaron has huge doubts about the accuracy of the information put forth in this site, but i think it's kind of fun to look around at what other people might maybe sort of be paying for their homes.

http://zillow.com/














they are supposed to be improving on the accuracy of this thing all the time...

we counted our chickens...

...before they hatched.

the bank didn't sign the purchase agreement on behalf of the seller. they will foreclose and try to sell the house for more than we offered (and can really afford).

sad.

=(
