  • where is my motivation?! #
  • wishing i had some chocolate to go along with my caffeine… #
  • Loving using Quicksilver to control iTunes! #
  • Posting to my blog from Quicksilver? Yes please! #
  • I really should be working instead of messing with my Mac. That sounds dirty. Hope the husband doesn’t catch us together! #
  • Test twitter via Quicksilver! #
  • I should go to bed, but I would rather stay up and read stuff on the Internets. #
  • On my way to the office, stuck in hellacious traffic. Not moving. But pondering new media while I’m stuck. #
  • PopTarts make the world go round. #
  • Almost forgot that it was Halloween. Had my fun on Saturday dressing up as Kelly Taylor, gunshot wound victim. (http://tinyurl.com/399u5h) #
  • Payday and home cookin’, doesn’t get any better in just one hour! #
  • Ooh, karma, you sweet, sweet bitch! I love you. #
  • So much buzz about hulu…no invite for me yet. Can anybody hook a girl up? #
  • The Bionic Woman is whiny and unappreciative. If I was not only saved from dying but had super everything, that’s AWESOME! #
  • Twitbin won’t show all the Twits coming into my timeline. Time to try Twitterbar! #
  • Or, rather, time to try Tweetbar. #
  • Starting to get into my groove on this storyboard. Think I might need an extra day on it though. #

  • @niblet Thankfully we never open our windows, so I think we’re relatively safe. I may use it as an opportunity to observe the enemy. #
  • @niblet Also, why do I keep losing you from my list? I thought you just weren’t Twitting at me anymore. Whatever that’s supposed to mean. #
  • Listening to Ryan Adams and working #
  • Listening to: Liz Phair - Flower…ahh the angry music of my angsty youth. http://tinyurl.com/2bjahe #
  • I wonder if I am normally this loud while doing dishes? #
  • Finally back to the office after a long meeting. Apparently the place stayed together while I was gone. #
  • Ooh I have the new version of GMail Contacts in my GMail! #
  • Wow, GMail’s web interface is a TON faster! Prefetching the messages really makes a difference. #
  • Box.net is a lifesaver when it comes to carting files back and forth…I still need to get a new flash drive. #
  • Since I was thinking about it, I ran and grabbed a new flash drive. 2GB for under $30, not bad! #
  • Came home early to start working again. Figured I’d rather beat traffic and work in my comfy chair and wear jeans. #
  • @markdavidson MicroCenter requires DRIVING! I could have gotten 1GB at Fry’s for 9.99 but they were out. :-( #
  • @warrenellis peeing AT things would be much too passive aggressive. I’m glad you pee ON them instead. Much more direct. #
  • ordered more RAM for the iBook. Perhaps when I give it new life, it will forgive me for the abuse I’ve put it through this week. #
  • Listening to: John Lennon - Grow Old With Me…this makes me think of planning my wedding. http://tinyurl.com/yto99y #

  • Husband is catching up on Heroes, I’m working and contemplating making dinner. Mmmmm wild rice. #
  • Man, the Superman wannabe on Heroes is a total douchebag. #
  • The George Foreman grill with removable plates may be the best invention in the whole world. It makes life so convenient! #
  • Still working. #
  • I think I might burn a LiveCD of Gutsy Gibbon and see what it can do…the G3 needs new life! #
  • *sigh* I really want Leopard. And more RAM for the iBook. #
  • I am procrastinating something fierce tonight. #
  • Sometimes Tim & Eric’s Awesome Show Great Job really disturbs me. Uncle Muscles is creepy!! #
  • Bluetooth sync is awesome! #
  • I like driving to work when it’s still dark outside. Somehow it’s easier for me to wake up. #
  • Can’t connect on my laptop to the stupid file server at work. Box.net to the rescue! #
  • Busy day ahead of me. Now that Pop Tarts have been consumed, caffeine is acquired and I’m buckling down. #
  • So disappointed. Why get me help when I’m just going to have to do it myself in the end? I can’t count on my "help" to do it right! #
  • Listening to: Calexico / Iron & Wine - A History Of Lovers on SomaFM Indie Pop Rocks http://tinyurl.com/2fovna #

  • @kyle1point0 Jealousy! I’ve kind of been drooling over Leopard all weekend. :-) #
  • @niblet Apparently squirrels have started infiltrating the apartments in my building. RED ALERT! #

  • I hate making a Twittypo. #
  • escaping work to go do more work! #

quick hits: the sunday procrastination edition

- My alarm is going to go off in 5 hours so I can get to work early and get a jump on my day. Why aren’t I in bed sleeping?

- I really want the new Guitar Hero III.

- I also really want Leopard and another gig of RAM. And for the hinge on my iBook to be fixed.

- I updated my calendar with all my project dates and synched it to my PDA. I feel more organized now but possibly in a blind panic.

- I went as Kelly Taylor, gunshot wound victim for the Halloween party yesterday. Shawn went as Emo Orange.

- I am, once again, going to attempt NaNoWriMo. I think that if I can just break out of my “must not write crap” mindset and write a little crap in with my brilliance, I might actually succeed.

- I’m going to bed. I hate it when the weekend is over.

  • Happy Leopard Day! #
  • Rocking out to Muse while I work, at home on a beautiful day in my favorite chair by the window. #
  • Karen O has a bad habit of saying "Like, you know?" when she’s interviewed. But she still rocks. #
  • Growl is one of my favorite Mac apps…It’s so convenient with iTunes info, incoming mail, and other program info. #
  • Husband just got a promotion at work! Huzzah!!!! #

Working from home


Working from home

Originally uploaded by paper graffiti

I have discovered that the leather storage ottoman in our living room is the best place to spread out my laptop, my files, etc. when I am working from home. I can sit in my chair or on the couch and still have a good work surface. It makes me feel very productive to have everything I need right at hand.
