And Now I'm Back . . .

Well, I hope I'm back. It's been an eventful past few weeks, but until a few days ago my router was broken! I could still get internet if absolutely necessary, but it required going down to the basement and using the ethernet cable. Not too bad I guess, but there was nowhere to really set my computer down and it's just not really a place I like to spend my time. Part of me was dreading getting the router fixed 'cause the few times I checked on things I kept seeing more and more emails and Facebook messages...and I needed to reply to them at some point.

Like I said, it's been eventful, very eventful, these past few weeks. I can't believe it's already the 3rd week of school though! That means only 13 weeks until Christmas break!!!! So, first week of school I had to have my car jumped twice. You know, 'cause I'm a moron and I leave my lights on. (My car doesn't make a noise when the lights are left on. And I usually go to school early in the morning when it's foggy so I use my lights.... ) The best part is that the second time I had to have my car jumped the only person left in the parking lot was one of my professors that I'd only met a few days earlier! Thankfully he didn't mind helping (I hope), and my car battery's been fine since then. Note I didn't say I remembered to turn the lights off... I just said the battery was fine. Several times I've had to go back out to my car and turn the lights off. This morning, however, I actually remembered to turn the lights off in the morning!

So yeah, very eventful. Aside from my car related shenanigans, I also managed to get in a day at the fair, a trip to Put-in-Bay, some production, voice over, and film work, and a trip to the Carnegie Science Center. Good thing I remembered that last part 'cause I actually have pictures from that! And of course I had to wear my galaxy print dress to a science center with a planetarium! Well, hopefully my router will hold up for a while longer this time and I'll be able to get back to posting slightly more regularly.

I Promise I'm Not Crazy...

...except that I totally am. It's been a crazy past few days. We got home from South Carolina late Saturday, I had to drive out to my house with the rest of my stuff on Sunday, and then I started classes Monday morning. Aaaand, I've been really sick the past few days. So fun! I am almost better--I'm just super tired and I'm disrupting all my classes with my constant coughing. Great start to the school year :p I do think my classes this semester will actually be beneficial. But we'll see...

I do apologize about the unexpected several day hiatus from blogging. I desperately need to finish unpacking everything. I did, however, finally find the camera! So I have a couple pictures for you. Not of me... But, I do hope to get back to outfit posts soon! Since I have the camera and I think I might know where the tripod is, I might try to get some pictures tomorrow...but we'll see.

Anyways...I have a kitchen now! Yeah! And this is the first time I've used the stove! Aaaaand...BREAKFAST FOR DINNER!!!!!

I don't think I've really talked a lot about the house I live in during the school year. But, long story short, it needed a lot of renovation and because of that I spent some time living in the basement with just a microwave and a refrigerator in in the garage. That is a story for another time though! But I do have a kitchen now. And my refrigerator in in said kitchen--not in the garage. Oh, I'm also not sleeping in the basement anymore (so don't worry!) Weeeell, yes. One day I will tell y'all the rest of that interesting tale. Which is technically still in progress since there's still a little bit of renovating to do...

Well, that's it for today!

"Uality" of Life

Remember that post I wrote awhile ago about only posting when I knew it was quality work? good, 'cause I don't either. I could blame it on my horrible memory (which is seriously a valid excuse), but unfortunately there is written proof somewhere on this blog of me saying all that stuff about quality vs quantity. Quality's a pretty dumb word anyway. And I can't say or even read it without thinking of Dilbert.

And when I think of Dilbert and "quality" I think of this


Yeah, well those are some random thoughts and a Dilbert cartoon for you before I go into making excuses about why I have less than awesome photos for you.

So....I may have...broken the camera I use (and it's not even mine!).

Well, not the camera per se...but perhaps the cord that's used to upload the photos I take with said camera to the computer I use for blogging. Yes, I am that coordinated. I don't even know how it's even possible to break the cord, but somehow I did it.

Of course I could blame the company for the poor "uality" of the camera cord which should have been able to hold up for at least a little longer. Or I could just...wait...that sounds like a great idea. I mean, since I'm already making excuses, it's not like I wasn't careful with the cord...I swear, it was an accident (That last part was for the benefit of my mom, and perhaps my life after she reads this. Mom, just so you know, dad's working on fixing the camera right now. Well, not right now. But he knows what to do to fix it! I know, I know...I'm a horrible daughter and I should never touch your camera again...except that you know I will as soon as it's fixed.)

So...since I have nothing else to post (I mean I have a couple posts saved for a rainy day, but I just used several of them while I was at camp...and, really, it's not raining.) Where was I? Oh yes, so since I have nothing else to post, here are just some random pictures I found on my cell phone! Yay for "uality"!

This is on the white board you see as soon as you walk in my kitchen!

I have a love for both glass cups and Marvel comics...and Star Wars. I also have several cabinets full of mugs....not pictured.

Still a bit messy, but stuff is coming together. And my refrigerator is not out in the garage anymore!

Saw this interesting chandelier at Goodwill. Also, those shoes sitting right next to the chandelier...They are now sitting in my closet.

We ate at Ted's Bulletin one night in DC. The entire time I kept thinking "Haaaaave you met Ted?"

A fast food salad bar. Yeah, I laughed pretty hard at that. Enough to justify taking a picture to share with y'all. I mean, seriously, McDonald's is right there. I'm sorry (I'm really not), but give me a choice between a sausage McGriddle and a salad? Yeah, I'm going with the McGriddle.

Maroon(ish) car directly(ish) in the center. Saw it on the way home from DC. Love it!

I guess I could try to call this one of those "Life Lately" posts...but yeah, obviously it's just a bunch of random photos. I have no more excuses for you. Just deal with this until the camera is fixed.
