Re-evaluating

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:19:00 -0600

Hey Tumblr-ites!

While I had a bunch of deadlines for school, I decided to keep myself off of internet time-sucks like Tumblr, Facebook, and Pinterest. To do this I created ridiculously hard passwords, wrote them down on a piece of paper and put them away in our home office. The idea is that I definitely won’t have the passwords at school and the shame that would come from digging out that paper like a junkie would keep me at bay until things settled down.

I’ve spent a while off of Tumblr now. In fact, a good bit longer than I had thought I would. You see…I didn’t really miss Tumblr too much while I was gone. Of course, I missed the people, but blogging things for myself has become lack luster and really just about wasting time or pleasing others. Tumblr is not fitting into my lets-stay-off-the-interwebs-more theme, either.

Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that I bid you all a temporary (hopefully) adieu. I don’t know how long this break will be…I may be back in 6 months or two weeks. I just know that, for right now, I need to extend my break.

Love to you all!

Going on a little Tumblr hiatus. I need to get a review paper done so I can graduate…not to mention all of my regular classwork and my final seminar presentation.

But once March gets here I’m FREE!!!!!

skimmed through a women’s fashion or clothing blog and suddenly all those models just seem to be singing a light-hearted…”I have no boobs, so everything looks good on me!” and you have to stop looking because you are just so frustrated that the really cute stuff would look horrible on anyone larger than a B-cup? …no? Just me? Ok.

Carry on.

“Because the biggest producers of content on the Internet are not Google and Yahoo — they’re us – we’re the ones getting policed. The real threat to the enactment of PIPA and SOPA is our ability to share things with one another.”

-Clay Shirky, in his “emergency” TED talk about SOPA and why it would create a “consumption-only Internet.”

Watch this, all. “The threat is this inversion of proof.”

Plans

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 09:02:00 -0600

I’ve slowly started to relapse into spending all of my free time in front of the TV or online. I just have to get away from reading, which is all of my school work. So, instead, I am making plans to have Pinterest inspired projects going. These will provide me with something productive to do when I can’t stand to study anymore. Here are a couple of things I have in mind to keep me productive in the coming months:

Lengthen our bedroom curtain panel by adding a gathered top and hang tabs; Line it so that it blocks out the security light more.
Sew simple curtains for our sliding glass door to the patio. Joann’s is having a sale on home decor fabrics this week and I have determined that while I could buy window panels on sale for the same price of making them, I would rather be able to choose from a multitude of fabrics (and do a little work) than just buy the curtain color no one wants…
Dry erase calendar for the kitchen…I still have yet to find a cheap enough frame.
Artwork for the house.
Pillows for the couch.

Let the craftiness begin.

Watching the Miss America pageant and eating potato chips. It’s a good time.

And Miss Texas just played the piano in the most ugly way possible.

huh.

And all of the last two singing talents have been awful. ack. “Disney Land” came out horrible from Miss New York.

Break Time

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:25:04 -0600

So far the house is clean, laundry is almost complete, dishes are washed, and I’ve read half of a paper….

A Serious Suggestion

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:24:17 -0600

lazybookreviews:

At all New York weddings, in lieu of Corinthians, there should be a brief staged re-enactment of the scene from “When Harry Met Sally” where Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby are in bed together, having just taken the disastrous phone calls from an overly-analytical post-coital H&S.

Carrie Fisher: God!

Bruno Kirby: I know.

Carrie Fisher: Tell me I’ll never have to be out there again.

Bruno Kirby: You will never have to be out there again.

Because, Jesus Christ, isn’t that what marriage is? Even when it’s wonderful and perfect and full of watching Community and sharing the newspaper? Please let us not have to be out there ever again, Amen. Amen.

This is fantastic.

Bad student

So, I give in to weather way too easily. But I’m thinking that bearing 40 mph wind gusts and feeling like -1, not to mention the snow, to get to the bus stop, and wait, and then go to a 48 minutes class….just to turn around and come back home is not worth it.

I told myself I could stay home as long as I am super productive.

Which means if you see me on here, feel free to chew me out. Please.

I will always reblog this. So precious.

It feels like -1 outside right now.

NEGATIVE ONE.

Yesterday it was 44.

This is gross.

Cuppow turns a canning jar into a mug for sipping on the go. Damn brilliant. Picking up a few of these when I stock up on jars instead of “real” glassware. (via)

!!!!!!!

Bloody genius. I just ordered three.

The husband will have a heart attack, order five, and never drink out of anything else.
