The Cheesecake is Rich

So! Over the weekend I had an email from a local deal of the day site with an offer for $20 worth of goodies from the spice shop for $10. (The spice shop is pretty nice and it’s located across the street). (Yes, I’m excited about a coupon for a spice shop. Leave me alooooone). [...]

You know what’s rewarding (in a “crazy sociopath” way)? Finding the Wikipedia page for the girl who was annoying in elementary school, a ‘mean girl’ in junior high, and (a) practically perfect (gigantic bitch) and editing it to remove the really self congratulatory stuff.

So, I have a Twitter feed (@LaineyD123). It is criminally under-used – I think my last legit tweet was about 18 months ago or probably even longer. I enjoy reading tweets, though, and am following 148 awesome people (including Eddie Izzard, all of the members of the State on Tweeter, Alec Baldwin, Stephen Colbert, etc). [...]

So, I completely understand so-called “Shopaholics”. Gene wants a new monitor (actually, he wants two) and of course he wants them to be of the brand sold by his employer so now I’m on the lookout for a deal. Best Buy? No. Employer.com? No. Sears.com? No. Staples.com? No. Next weekend is Cheesecake State Tax Free [...]

This is good at the start (I love it when Beavis does his “Cornholio” routine) but even better in the last 2 minutes, when the boys comment on an episode of Jersey Shore. Get More: Beavis and Butt-Head, MTV Shows

So, I’ve been reading a bit about the News of the World scandal in the UK (that seems to be spreading to the US) and it just occurred to me…after all of this is over, do you think there will be room for ethical, decent journalists? Not liberal, not conservative, but interested in reporting stories [...]

Here are two things that bug me: 1) When school teachers misspell words on their Facebook updates. I really do fear for the future. I mean, holy cow, they aren’t updating their statuses in Latin for crying out loud. That said, I made about a dozen typos in the last 25 words, so whoops. Karma, [...]

So I just checked my Facebook page and there’s a new feature that gives a user the chance to “like” things based upon other things that the user already “like”s. What did it have for me? “Fans of Kohl’s often ‘Like’ Walmart” – NO “Fans of Kohl’s often ‘Like’ Toys R Us” – HELL NO [...]

So, I just read about this interesting idea elsewhere on the Internet where some people are writing letters to the 20 year old version of themselves. I am also avoiding going to bed even though I have to get up at 6 and told Gene I’d come to bed an hour ago. Therefore, I give [...]

So, I went to my site yesterday and got a database error. Since I just renewed my hosting with DreamHost, I assumed I had messed that up in some way. DreamHost makes it super handy to look this stuff up, but nothing seemed awry. They also have a site called Dreamhoststatus.com where you can go [...]
