Heard this via text message today…

Obama is the new black!

LOL

Out with the old…

…in with the green?

So, yeah, I’m changing the site around again. The last design (with the snowboard/guitar) was never meant to be the final design. It was just thrown together quickly when the site was originally set up. I liked it, but it wasn’t exactly what I wanted, so I decided it needed to be changed. Not to mention I’ve been bored out of my mind because the beautiful Annika is in Napa Valley drinking wine and being all cute in a convertible VW Bug this week.

This is the new layout. The photos and colors might change. For now, I’ve got the basic functionality working, so I’m taking it live. There are a few issues with images and junk that I’m working out. Everything before was designed for a white website. Now I’ve gone dark grey. All told…I’m quite pleased with the new look. I have a green website! No trees were harmed during the coding of this site.

Goodbye George

No really…you have to do it within 24 hours of this post to help Firefox break a world record in the number of downloads of a single file in 24 hours.

3 months smoke free

Just a quick update for those following along at home…as of June 15th, I am and continue to be smoke free!

Zedge

I’ve always made my own ring tones because the majority of sites that offer ring tones are a mess. Some require special software to be installed on your PC. Some are so unorganized you can’t find anything. I had one site where no matter what I searched for, the result was always “no matches”.

Today I discovered Zedge.

The interface is wonderful. Just click the big Play button on each ringtone to hear it…like an audio only version of youtube.com. And they have other things besides just ring tones. If you register and tell them your phone model, they will display wallpapers that fit your screen or offer themes that give your phone a whole new look. If you are in the mood to pimp out your cell, check out Zedge….I wasted hours there this morning.

Death Cab for Cutie

Last Wednesday night I drove up to Red Rocks Amphitheatre to see Death Cab for Cutie with Annika. Wow! I had never been to Red Rocks before and it’s amazing. I took a few photos and yes the place looks cool….but once the sun sets and the rocks are all lit up…it just feels unreal. But that’s the really cool part…it’s totally real…nature’s design!

I had no idea who the opening band was. After listening to them for awhile I decided I liked them and asked who they were. They are called Rogue Wave and to my surprise I actually have a couple of their albums. It was recommended to me by someone and I just haven’t had time to really listen to it.

After I discovering the band I had already discovered, it was time for Death Cab for Cutie. They played a lot from their new album, which I’m sad to say I had only listened to a couple of times. But they did do some older stuff like “I Will Follow You Into The Dark” and “Title and Registration”.

My first visit to Red Rocks and I’m dying to go back. I’m not sure why it took me 4 years of being in Colorado to get there. But I think I’m going to make it a habit….

2 months smoke free

Well I’ve pasted an important date in the no smoking timeline.

I have tried to quite before and failed at the 1 month mark. This weekend, though, I hit the 2 month mark. I honestly didn’t even realize it until today. I don’t really think about smoking very often. Maybe once a week. Last night it hit me after dinner. I felt like I wanted to smoke. Fortunately I’ve learned that those little cravings disappear in a few minutes.

Anyway, just wanted to toot my own horn. It’s much more fun not smoking. Now I can judge all the people who do smoke. =)

All moved!

I’ve moved into my new place (photos to come soon) and you know there are always a few things that you need to buy to settle in. For me, the showerhead is top on that list.

This is the AquaScape Rain Shower head from WaterPik. It’s good. 60 nozzles good! It’s like standing in the rain, naked. Personally, I prefer that vs. the powerful blast of water that feels like it could peel off my skin. I want a soothing shower…not a firehose like experience where I get pushed toward the back wall due to the water pressure.

If I have someone come over that likes things a little on the rougher side. They can press a little button on the back of the shower head to just use the “Powerspray”, which means it just uses the center holes (not the surrounding ones) to give you a higher pressure blast.

I did make one little modification to the setup. I added a extension bar, as pictured. It lets you easily adjust the height and it extends the shower head away from the wall so you don’t feel like you have to stand with your legs straddling the spigot.

I realize not everyone cares about something as simple as a showerhead, but considering it’s something I do every morning…I might as well make it enjoyable. If you have never experienced a ‘rain shower’ effect…come on over. Try mine!

Club Puffed Multi-Grain

Ok so I may have mocked up the box label a little since I couldn’t find the Multi-Grain version online.

Anyway, I purchased these little bits of yummy about a week ago when I was sick. I was thinking something like a cracker wouldn’t upset the stomach. I never got around to trying them until tonight.

It’s hard to type with one hand…as I’m shoveling these guys into my mouth. They are really good….buttery, flaky, and a little nutty with a tiny hint of cinnamon.

Now don’t let the Multi-Grain fool you. Ingredient #1 is Enriched Flour. Not to mention, they did manage to get High Fructose Corn Syrup in there. Why!?! Freaking stupid little elves!

They really should print some warning on the outside about not eating a full box of these as your dinner. Oh like you never!
