They post site links to these buzzworthy topics. I am among different bloggers who all talked about the diaper pants fad. I am a fan of the fashion buzz section. Like the diaper pants trend, the turban is another trend that I don’t want to see in real life. BuzzFeed distinguishes what is actually interesting from what is merely hyped.

That is two Intel CPUs in my box, 2GB of RAM and a one Terabyte of harddrive space. I’m a happy camper 🙂 Unfortunately I’m having a problem with the onboard sound and I have to take it back to get fixed. Reinstalling the drivers did nothing. I called tech support, which is fairly irritating for me because the Men on these calls never think I have the knowledge I do. So this guy takes me through the same freaking steps I’ve already done many times over. Such a waste of time. I hate tech support. I’ll let you know the company I purchased with after I get this sound thing dealt …

Anne Valérie Hash shoes I can’t explain why I like these heels by Anna Valerie Hash. I think it’s the heel height and the strange forefoot covering. I think menswear when I see them, but can’t place that influence in them. Anna Valerie Hash shoes were available Holt Renfrew but has since been dropped.

I was asked to beta test BlogTV.ca. So I made this video for my Madvillian toy. The music is from Madvilliany, one of my favourite albums. I’m still figuring out how this works. While I was recording this I had this little speech and send some shout outs to blogtv and Magic pony, but that wasn’t picked up my the video camera’s mike. Boo Urns. One thing I don’t like is the autoplay. Sorry everyone. I hate it enough to move the video under the cut. Do check it out.

I’m sorry IE users

Published by

The site is messed up for anyone using IE right now. I don’t often check IE because I use Firefox and I forget about the rest of the world. I’m trying to track down the problem and I hope to get it fixed soon. You really should be using Firefox though. LOL. UPDATE: I’ve fixed the problem. Thanks goes out to Scott Wallick, the creator of the plaintxtblog theme I’m using. He helped me to track down the issue. Scott Rocks. w00t!!!!
