Update: I found the tape

Update: I found the tape and packed up the cabinet. No luck in finding the futon tool, though. Sigh.

I just saw Miss Cleo help someone locate some missing papers using her tarot reading powers. Maybe I should give her a call…

My place is a mess.

June 23rd, 2001 2 comments

My place is a mess. I want to disassemble my futon, but can’t find the magic tool to do that. That tool is probably in a cabinet that still needs to be packed up. I should pack the cabinet while looking for the tool, but that would mean putting stuff in a box, and I can’t find my spare roll of tape to seal the bottom of the box. The tape is probably buried under something to be packed, but I can’t pack the stuff because I can’t seal any boxes. It’s a vicious cycle.

Do not adjust your television:

Do not adjust your television: MTV, in a bit of uncharacteristic programming, is playing music for twenty-four hours straight this weekend. Don’t worry: the regular non-music programming will be back tomorrow night at 8pm eastern with the Real World 10th Anniversary Special.

I spend a lot of

June 22nd, 2001 2 comments

I spend a lot of time online and all of that time occupies my phone line. Friends and co-workers know to call my cell phone. On the rare occasion that my land line rings, it is either a wrong number or a sales call. I should know better than to answer, yet I can’t resist: what if it is something important or the deal of a lifetime?

Ring ring. “Hello?” “Hello, this is Jane from Network Solutions. We noticed that you recently registered alargehead.com. Is there a site at that address?” “No.” “Well, a lot of people don’t realize that Network Solutions has teamed up with Verisign to offer storefronts for business sites…blah blah blah.”

At this point, I said, “This is a personal site and I already have a host for it” and hung up.

What I should have said: “Fabulous! I needed a way to sell large heads online!”

This Pet Chime Portable Wireless

June 21st, 2001 1 comment

This Pet Chime Portable Wireless Doorbell seems like a cool little gadget to train your dog to notify you when she needs to go outside. I bet I could put something like that together a lot cheaper that $30, though. Link via 120 degrees.

I’m starting to get a crafty itch. I go through this every once in a while. I just want to create something or modify something tangible. When I first moved to Dallas with no furniture, I spent my limited funds on cheap furniture that I could finish myself and lamps that I painted to match the decor.

I may only hold out another week or so in fighting the crafting bug. I move in exactly one week, and the new place will be a clean canvas waiting to be crafted. I already found a new bed set that I want. The lamps will have to be repainted and color schemes changed. I can see it clearly in my large head.

For now, though, there is packing to be done! Must… resist… urge… to… craft.
