Is this thing on??

Can you hear me now?

Good...

I've officially switched over to the Movable Type platform.  Seems to be working.  I'm not sure about the feed though...

GW if you get this through your feed, please let me know ('cause then I still have work to do)...

Also, if anyone tries to comment on the new site and can't, please let me know that as well...

:p

No wonder it took me so long to make any changes...

It's time to save China Mulan...

I would've taken the job... You know in the palace with the Emperor... But then... that wouldn't have been a Disney ending would it?

(How did the REAL story end??)

Anyway, the shape of this flower reminded me of the one from the movie...

'The flower that blooms last is the most beautiful of all...' Great news for all of us late bloomers...

I think though that you bloom whenever you are ready to bloom... and you can make a difference no matter how late you start...

Yay vacation! Yay brain chemicals!

Narrow Street

As a perfect ending to a really great vacation, I found the time to process a number of the pictures that have been languishing in my camera.  I also found the time to learn a new technique

Now I realize it's all brain chemicals, but for me learning new things produces an almost euphoric sense of well-being... Almost like mainlining Godiva...  'I've LEARNED something!  All is well... I am at peace with my twisted inner drive to accomplish... SOMEthing...'

Of course I only share these things when I like what they have to say...

Your Personality is Very Rare (INTP)
Your personality type is goofy, imaginative, relaxed, and brilliant.

Only about 4% of all people have your personality, including 2% of all women and 6% of all men
You are Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Perceiving.


Oh what like you don't???

Can you laugh at yourself?

If you're a white middle-class liberal, and you have the unusual ability to laugh at yourself go here.

If you're not a white middle-class liberal (and let's face it, how likely are you to be reading this?) then you can go there, but don't laugh at the white people (we're sensitive)...

If you're a white middle-class liberal who wants to preserve your sense of decorum and pride, run far far away (don't say I didn't warn you)...

I have to go take a shower now cause I wet myself laughing... (and cringing)...

Editorial side note:  I had to roll my eyes at some of the comments... I guess it doesn't matter what ethnicity you are, if you can make fun of someone who's different than you, you can feel better about yourself...

Second editorial side note: I had to point out to my (asian) husband that he is, in reality, white (and now I've gone down a path of spiral thinking whereby I question every THINK I thought i was thinking (I have a headache))...

HA!

Pirate vs. Ninja?

Ninja...

Duh...

(Yes I am completely aware that my children would totally faint with embarassment to read this (After they pledge their support to the Ninja (of course)!!))

I love you more than the internet...

That's saying something...

The really amazing part is that the beloved in question actually APPRECIATED such declaration...

That's why he's 'the perfect man'...

It does NOT suck to be me :D

NO ONE knows what's in SPAM...

I recently configured my home domain to run Google Apps.  Since I know you are dying to know why, I'll tell you... GMail is BRILLIANT for SPAM...

I've had my home domain for over 10 years now mostly for email, and in the last few have all but stopped using it because it was so heavily spammed.

Enter Google Apps...  Via Google Apps you can configure your own domain to process email through GMail and utilize all the beautiful SPAM filtering technologies suddenly at your fingertips... In fact my favorite part is the little link at the top of the spam folder page which allows you to destroy ALL the SPAM currently in your mailbox with just one click...

Click

There, just like that you are spam-free.  There's even a little message that shows up that says 'Hooray! No SPAM here!'

What's really funny about this page though is not the above message.  It's the fact that like all free GMail accounts, there are ads on the page which correspond (theoretically) with the topics in your emails.  And what shows up on the SPAM page?  Recipes... Featuring SPAM...

Today we had Vineyard Spam Salad (I kid you not!)  These are real recipes theoretically submitted by real people... (Do they even know what it is they are eating??)

On what I wish was a totally unrelated note, before I zapped all my SPAM I noticed one in there that said:

'Confess!  You are broil about the size of your penis'

I mean really!! HOW did they KNOW???
