"We're Not In Kansas Anymore..."

"We're not in Kansas Anymore." You got that right. We are not in Kansas anymore, at least when it comes to my flair addiction! Facebook has this very fun and addictive application called Pieces of Flair (real creative huh?). Each day part of a ritual I go to the recently popular tab and check out what the day has in store for me. Some days are just ordinary others can become a educational experience. Once there was this flair that came up ever so often with just a date. I can't remember this date but for the story sake let's say 08/31/08. Each day a new piece of flair popped up with this crazy date. I couldn't figure out what the heck it stood for. I conducted many arduous searches for what this date could mean and NOTHING! Finally, can't remember how but it turned out to be the date of this vampire book coming out...oh yeah Twilight. Yeah so I was hip and learned that there was this craze for vampire books that everyone was reading. Another fun and awesome thing is that you can create your own flair and share it with the world. I have created many flair but there is one that i just found out is going off the charts!!!! The phrase I like to say is HOLY COW! I have 2717 users who have added or have been given my awesome piece of flair and am now ranked 26,210. That is an accomplishment in itself to even get a ranking! All my other flair pieces does not have a ranking at all!! So now the new addiction is making flair. Maybe I can rank 25,000 by Thanksgiving!!

Case of the Moooondays...

This is how I feel like today. I normally really love technology but on days like this I really want to throw the computer out the window. Why, you ask. This morning I've changed my password. I would say about an 1 -3 hours later the system did not except my new or my old password. Then I had to call the helpdesk. They helped but then I couldn't logon to other programs. Now I tried another and the same thing. So I called back and I keep getting referred to another person and then another department and then the back and forth continues. So I guess it is just another case of the Mooondays ;(

The Early Years

I am listening to my wonderful IPOD ( how anyone could live without it I have no idea, I know there are people who do). Guess what song plays?! Michael Bolton's How Am I Supposed to Live Without You. First few things came to mind, 1. I have this song? Wow, wonder where that came from and 2. This reminds me of when Zach and Kelly (Saved by the Bell) broke up during a dance..I want to say prom but I don't remember them dressed up.

Whatever happened to such wonderful shows like Saved by the Bell. Those were the days when coming home from school and watched shows like Saved by the Bell, Family Matters, Fresh Prince .....not to mention the music..MTV Jams Countdown!

Glow in the Dark Mountain Dew!

The other day I got an email with a video showing how to make an "Emergency glow stick" out of a bottle of Mountain Dew, Baking Soda and Peroxide. I for one thought that this was absolutely amazing and had to try it out. If it did work, what was in Mountain Dew to make such a chemical reaction? Why would anyone want to consume this beverage? I am usually very skeptical of these things and usually do some internet research. I was so enamored that I thought it had to be true! Good thing during the weekend I did not try this science experiment as planned, I kept forgetting to buy Mountain Dew. Monday I received another email this time with the Snopes.com link identifying this was a hoax!!! I was duped!! What a serious disappointment.

As a result of more searching about Mountain Dew and its disappointingly non-glow int he dark effects I did find another glow in the dark challenge. Is it possible to make glow in the dark ice with Tonic water? It says that the ingredient quinine has to be in the tonic water in order for it to work and the best way to see it is under a black light. I am skeptical but of course my curiosity is killing me and now I want to try but I have to buy a black light first.

SHROOMS!

Anyone who knows me knows that mushrooms are NOT my best friend. Let's face it, they are a fungi and when cooked are gross and mushy. BLEH! I apologize for those of you who do like mushrooms. Please do not become offended because I do have pleasant news to share. I now like mushrooms! What?! Yes I am admitting that they are actually good...but under one condition. The condition that they are not cooked. Raw mushrooms with some dressing or even hummus (thanks Bre!) is delish! Let's not get too crazy here, I've only tried button mushrooms and so far that is all I need to try. I still am a bit squeamish about 'shrooms but I've always thought they were so cute and amazing looking.

1. I am a person who LOVES sci-fi shows. One in particular...Doctor Who! Huge in the UK. I guess I would be totally cool over there!

2. I have a dream or passion. I love animation. I have a degree in digital art, animation and hope one day to get my rear in gear and do some work on my portfolio. Once that is done, I can start applying for positions. Pixar here I come!!!

3. One of my favorite stores to shop at is Banana Republic. I just cannot help it AND I have a card with them so it just seems easier to shop there!

4. The center of my world is my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Through him I am strong and able to do anything. God is amazing! So this image not only satisfies the faith in me but also the art! Isn't it absolutely beautiful? Who could imagine combining art and scripture?

5. I am half Korean and half German...and my favorite food is Korean food. I don't get to eat it much since I don't know how to cook it but when I do I gorge myself. I just can't help it! What a great combo...kimchi is pickled and so is sauerkraut. Now we know I am Korean/German!

6. Deep dark red, burgundy, plum is one of the colors I love so much. Not to forget the army green/olive green. Those two colors are fantabulous!

7. ART! Need I say more? Well... okay. I found these amazing sketches and now am inspired to attempt to have a daily sketch book. Maybe I will start out in the New Year, January. That should prepare me...about 3 months to prepare that is.

8. I must say that about 4 years ago I learned I have a love for shoes. It all started out when I went to this store called Charles and Keith. There I fell in love with many styles and also due to the reasonable prices. Thank you Charles and Keith!

9. I will admit that I have an addiction. Yes, I am addicted to Diet Coke need I say more.

10. I absolutely love weddings. I wish I could be a wedding planner and design invitations, favors, dresses, etc!!

11. Technology is one of the main thing in my life. I don't think I could ever live without the internet or my cell phone or even my digital camera.

12. My weakness is TV! I watch way too much of it since I have graduated school. I have a show on every night or 2 shows on one night to make up for the days I don't have shows LOL! AND since I can only record 2 shows at a time, I also watch a series on ONDEMAND from Cox! Seriously I have a problem. :D
