ok, that website (catherine, go to it!!) decided i wanted fajitas. i’m switching to burritos, but i’m debating between chipotle and qdoba. chipotle is obvs better, but qdoba is right ouside my door. literally. i’m ~~sitting~~ laying be bed with tabs open for each, going back and forth looking at pictures from their menus. OH WINTER BEAK. the more that i think about it, the less that i even want a burrito, but i don’t know what i wantttttttttt. any suggestions?

WHAT ARE YOU HURT?

OK. Thank you Betsy. Cause I saw this earlier and wanted to say something, but for some reason felt like an idiot doing so because it could be an inside metaphor for something or whatever. BUT! HOLY SHIT LIZ! This better have no happened to you! And if so, the last thing I’d be doing if that happened to me would be blogging. What’s happening?

extended metaphor?

So, stupid

catawampus:

So I had about 9,500 songs on my itunes last week. Jonee and I were supposed to swap music so I could score some of his awesome musical tastes. I probably should have checked how much space I had left on my computer.

As I moved all of his songs onto my itunes, I ran out of space. So here I am with 14,898 songs and no space left on my lap top. Not acceptable. So I move all my music to my external and decide to run my itunes off of there from now on.

As soon as I move everything (directories and all) I boot up itunes and not only are all my playlists deleted, but my podcasts and ringtones are also gone. Then I try to play a song and I get the “can’t locate file” error.. for all 14,000 songs…

So since I have time machine, I figure I’ll just restore from the previous week…. doesn’t work. I rip everything off my ipod, doesn’t work..

So now I’ve dragged all my music and all of Jonee’s music onto itunes and it’s duplicated each song twice, leaving me with a whopping 46,554 files in my itunes.

So my winter break is now dedicated to weeding through the thousands and thousands of songs to make sure that there aren’t any duplicates, the Genre, Artist, Title, Album information is all correct, and each album has album art.

Shoot me.

that..is something that would happen to me. that’s a bummer—good luck.

“I am imagining that it was understood by girls growing up ( who were very likely more mature than guys anyway) that their beauty was an important asset, and blown-off fingers and burn scars were not going to help much in the dating/mating arena. So this fear of disfigurement, in my opinion, is what has helped cause a life-long fear of fire in many women, and what makes using a torch such a difficult fear to overcome.”
- Jay Whaley

…

“The thing with the Little Torch is that it is cute and women like “cute”. It may not work well with silver but it is big in the cute factor.”
- Jerry Fowler

HAHAHAHAHAHA right.

“it may not work well with silver” ????

while women may like “cute,” i assure you they love silver.

eastling:

There’s a big to-do going around the Ganoskin (jewelry) blogs about women jewelers being afraid of their torches. Do any of you have this problem? Because playing with fire on a regular basis is pretty much my favorite thing. And how can you even be a metalsmith for long if you’re afraid of the torch? I could see maybe getting away with cold connections instead of soldering, but you still have to anneal stuff to be able to form it.

hahah..for real??? they make me nervous in the same way that any dangerous tool makes me—enough to be wary and not careless. how can you be working with metals and be afraid of torches…..you’re working with METAL. comeon.

that’s kind of absurd.

Dear RAMZ Hall Residents,

I apologize for this late notice. Our current washer & dryer contract will end tomorrow., Wed., Dec. 16. Therefore, all washers and dryers will be removed from RAMZ Hall tomorrow. New washers & dryers will be installed on floors 2 & 3 on Thurs., Dec. 17. (Additional washers & dryers will be installed on the 4th floor by the time the University reopens on Jan. 4, 2010, if not sooner.)

Additionally, RAMBucks will NOT be available for usage with the new machines until the middle of January. During that time, machines will have to be coin operated.

in the grand scheme of things, this isn’t a big deal at all, but it’s starting to get obnoxious that it cost the amount that it does to live here and i still get emails like this every couple days. as much of a hassle it’s going to be figuring out where i’m going to live next year, i’m not going to miss it here.
