Freezer Fail

In the spirit of Fail Blog – I couldn’t help myself:

Was walking through the grocery store on a soda run and ran across this in the frozen goods section:

I was amused. I hope you all are too. XD

The Earing and the Chair

I was playing with my earing and I dropped it on accident onto my desk chair (at work.)

No big deal, I think. I reach down to get it but my fingers decided to be chubby today and merely pushed it deeper into the crevice between cushion and armrest.

Not learning my lesson this repeats until the earing is pushed to the bottom, but still remains in sight. I gather my tools of two paper clips to try and fish it out – I only manage to hook it slightly before shoving it out of sight between wood and cushion.

I growl and get on floor trying to find way to reach beneath cushion that is firmly, firmly attached to the chair.

Co-workers notice at this point and plight is explained. They take the chair apart and start shaking it to try and loosen the item. Paperclips, food bits (that were there before!), a key, money and all sorts of other nicknack one would expect in a couch fall to the ground.

No earing.

And so the fellas turn the chair over and rip out the bottom panels and more falls out. Finally put chair on side and I look under the panel and see the earing lodged firmly in place between the siding. I retrieve my paper clip and fish it out of its’ hold.

Earing retrieved and slip of paper falls out of chair. In trash now, but paper dated over twenty years ago. My chair is freakin’ old.

Thank-you. The above took approximately fifteen minutes. I am now wearing only one earing as the other has a date with some rubbing alcohol before it can return to duty.

I love Fridays.

Cinder Report 02

Hanging out with my shoes.

Hanging out with my shoes.

Well, tomorrow it’ll be two weeks since Cinder came to our house. She’s not explored most of it and finds favorite places under the bed, in my closet, in front of my bathroom sink and on my lap from my computer chair.

She still bites a little when she’s in a bad mood. But for the most part she’s fitting in nicely.

And when she’s in a good mood she follows me around. She’s so cute! :love:

Cinder Report 01

If you follow my twitter you know that I’ve been excited about adopting a new kitty!!

And now she’s finally home! I had to wait about a week because she was catching up on her shots & they wanted to pick up all her medical records, but she arrived at my home about twenty minutes ago.

Right now, she’s in the laundry room hiding in her carrier – which is to be expected. New house, new family – it’s all big and scary.

You’ll see more pictures as she starts wandering about.

Snagged a pic before she could sprint or hide.

Stats:
Name: Cinder
Weight: 12.5lbs
Gender: Female
Age: 1 Year

Anyway- My previous kitty Angel & my pup Mac  were loved very much and I hope that Cinder becomes just as much of the family as they were.

Cupcake Love Theme

Hey! Some of you guys may have noticed that Patchwork has a yummy new theme.

Mike (Of Maikeron.com and the man behind Webcomic & Inkblot) has created this new theme for the WordPress Theme directory (which should be submitted shortly.)

I think it looks rather dapper and I love the cupcake wrapper header and footer. Now all I need is to draw a new image for the header. :)

Maybe I’ll update more now that I actually like the theme. XD

Your Fonts.com

http://www.yourfonts.com/

This is probably one of the coolest things I’ve found on the internet yet.  You fill out a chart with all the characters, run it through the server and boom! Instant font.

So far I’ve only created one, but I do plan to come back for more.

God is Awesome

God is awesome.

I started my car to go to lunch and I was greeted to the start of the piano riff in “Doubt & Trust” by Access.

It made me smile.

Bad Mood

I hate Windows.

I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.

If you read my previous post, you know that today I was in a great mood. Woke up early, had breakfast with the folks. Went to a convention with my brother and raked in the goodies like Salty Dog V & IV and a Gin figurine.

The day continued to get better (the stuff that happened after that post) when I came home from the con and watched Red vs Blue: Reconstruction with my brother. Which was amazing. It made me laugh and finally bite the bullet and order the Red vs Blue Box Set for the first 5 seasons of DVDs. I was on top of the world in giddiness from seeing new footage of my one true love Sarge (Red Team FTW). My only disappointment was that Donut didn’t make an apperance – but since it looks like Reconsruction will be getting another season I have hope.

At this point, I rewatched House Season 5, Episode 4 for the tenth or so time. (Wilson takes House to his father’s funeral in case you forgot.) And the good mood just kept on going up.

It was at this point that things settled down and I opened Photoshop to draw tomorrow’s WAM while my brother hooked up his XBOX360 to the internet to log-in to his live account. (He couldn’t before b/c 1) I didn’t have internet in my room where the unit is and 2) Xbox suffered red ring of doom before he could set up his account on the machine.) He filled in his gamertag and got all ready to log-on.

Only it wouldn’t accept his e-mail or password.

This caused me a bit of ‘huh?’ because I clealry remember registering him earlier in the summer. Long story short, I spent a little over an hour trying every e-mail/password combination under the sun between both of our accounts to figure out what account was using his gamertag. None of them worked. And it wouldn’t even recognize his e-mail as having an account (which I know it did) so we couldn’t even have our password e-mailed to us. Maybe I’m crazy and didn’t actually register it. But that’s impossible b/c I can see the gamercard with the gamertag I registered in the summer and *breathes*

Needless to say, I’m in a bad mood and ranting about it on the computer seems to be helping. However, facts are facts and we had to reregister at Windows/XBOX/Whatever Live and he now has a new gamertag.

So now I’m trying to draw WAM and hopefully have come up with something acceptable. Because quite franky, I nearly said ‘screw it’ and posted nothing b/c I was so angry. I’ve calmed down a little bit since then and decided that it wasn’t fair to my readers to take out the frustration on them. I’m making them read this post instead. So there.

In conclusion: I hate you XBOX Live. Thank-you.

At least Izuru’s finally happy to have his Captain back.

Gin and Kira

Squad 3 Rules.

Blue Sucks.

*draws WAM to brother playing Halo in background*

Convention Haul

Just got back from a convention and I am happy. Why? Because I managed to not break the bank but come out with some choice items, such as:

Salty Dog V *drool*

Salty Dog IV *more drool*

An Ichimaru Gin figurine (to match my Kira Izuru figure. :D)

and, *rolls drums*

A Gungrave OD (Overdose) poster. Seriously. We found a Gungrave OD poster. *squeals* That’s almost as good as finally getting my hands on Salty Dog. XD

Now…to browse and pet my goods. *skips off happily*
