Isn't It Ironic?

Don't you think?
It's like winning an entire fangirl collection of Twilight memorabilia at your company awards banquet when you don't really want anything to do with it.



There must be over $200 worth of Hot Topic gold here. And to think, I could have gotten five free movie tickets or a gift certificate for a yarn and fabric store I love.

Wedding Photo

Went to a wedding today.

It was at a Lutheran Church in Berkeley.

Here is a photo I took there.

Another gadget

Just got this mini switch to use in my bedroom and it works so well I have ordered two more! One will go in the living room for the TiVo and Wii and whichever computers we have running out there. The other one will go in my laptop bag for work and other situations where there is a single drop and no wireless. Pretty nifty, plug-n-play, and at a bit over half the size of my TiVo remote, it's very portable!



Trendnet's 5-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch

Available online for less than twenty bucks, U.S.

Upside-down rainbow...

All the way across my ceiling!
This is what I saw when I awoke today.
I searched for the origin to no avail. I have no prisms or anything of the sort in my windows. As a matter of fact, my windows have wooden blinds in them, which I keep closed until I get up, so this was a mystery!

Finally the search for perfect panties is fruitful.

Straight, Jelly Belly Chaser.

Insulated freezer martini shaker is cute but only works for two or three drinks before you need to add ice or refreeze.


Nifty bottle cap bag closer thing is perfect for nuts and small sweets

Pork Jelly Belly Bounty

Black licorice and red hot cinnamon Jelly Belly beans.








Each pork rind was easily large enough to make a regulation American football, if the skins had been tanned rather than fried. Yummy down on that!

I love stuff like this. I don't know why, but it makes me giggle. Tip: it helps to read it out loud.

Cute video, awesome service.

Here is another neat little sugru project.

¶¶It tuuk took three minutes to create, but already it has saved me more than three hours of aggrevation!

Do you sugru? I do!

My phones on sugru. Or sugru on my phones.

My introduction to sugru was a dozen packets of various colors, called the

SMART HACKS SUPER PACK

This stuff was sent to me for free because of my contributions to instructables.com

You should check out both, if you haven't already.

These are just few of the nifty hacks I've used sugru, for.

I made custom anti-shock skins for my iPhone and my Samsung Captivate

The stuff is pretty awesome. It feels like play dough but dries like rubber.

My friend Debi asked me to make one for her Captivate.

She is a writer and asked me to do a tome and quill thing.

I'm no sculptor, but I did my best. Hey, at least she didn't insist on a dragon! She would have ended up with something like TROGDOR!

I also modified my laptop riser stand to more securely hold my laptop in place.

Before?

Before it would start to slide off if it got jiggled or jostled even a little bit.

The stand was clearly not intended to support this 17.3" monster.

Now?

Thanks to a single packet of sugru it is ideal!

Now I think it will stay put, even through a major earthquake.

Too bad I can't confidently say the same for my entire state. :(

Do You VooDoo?

Rupa do.


This is a poppet I made, one in a series I named "Broken-hearted Babies".




It is impotant to note that they Jane horrible little rat- tails that change their expression from one of sorrow to one of anguish when pulled. Yes, versatility was my goal, ang I feel rather good about the results.

He REALLY not a baby no more!

Dominic went to New York to visit our family and so I didn't see him for almost two weeks. He has grown and changed a lot in that seemingly short time!

...and she doesn't (the) afraid of anything. Ever.

What?! I thought it was cute. And I always did like the shoe piece, as a tiny sculpture or a charm for a bracelet (yes, I made a charm bracelet out of all the pieces I could get my hands on once).

As for the game? I preferred to play the iron. I also kinda liked the wheel burrow. Also the top hat and thimble were cute. I had to drill holes in those for the bracelet. Pain in the ass.

I would sometimes play the car, but that was only when I was in a mean mood and wanted to leave my brother with no alternative but to play the dog.

You Are the Shoe. Great for getting just about anywhere. Particularly good for kicking the dog. You are adventurous and free spirited. You are confident that you can do almost anything, and you are never the afraid. You are a hard worker and quite stubborn. You are willing to put in long hours to achieve your goal. You never give up, even when things get difficult. You are very tough. You're the type of person who wants to conquer the whole world, and you know it begins one step at a time.
