Just Some Things

Aug 29 2011

Did you have a great weekend, too? Hope so.

As I said in a video last week, I’m making sure to fit in as much fun as humanely possible before the conclusion of Summer ’11, which is this week.

Your time is your only non-renewable resource, remember that.

I spent most of Sunday afternoon like this. Daydreaming, plotting, thinking.

Do you do that, too? It’s important.

This is me last week.

Note the Bluetooth headset. But bet I get more done than you.

Check out the top screenshot, BOOM BOOM.

You know the ads that appear on YouTube videos? That’s a program you have to be invited into, and that there is my invitation.

The bottom two screenshots are a video upload in progress (note the minutes OMG) and then what I did to it. Ugh to me.

Been compliling another video.

I realize it sounds dry and boring, it won’t be.

Kay I’m off to dinner with a BFF, TTYT

Things From My Break

Aug 25 2011

Thursday night I’d had it, that familiar feeling of GAH.

So Friday I packed a bag, walked down to the closet car rental spot (I’m still without wheels) and said, hi one car please.

Ended up with a Jeep. Won’t be buying a Jeep.

If you need a car though, go here and see Bedi, he’s awesome. It was his last vehicle, which he scrambled to get me, because as he said, “I want you to be able to walk down like this and know you’ll get a car”.

I got in and drove it all over.

I took tons of photos, here’s one.

That’s it for now, because I invented a Keri On Security episode using them, so I’ll post them in a couple weeks.

Great city to return home to.

I decompressed using:

My Summer’11 routine…I walk down to the water, see the yellow arrow? I tuck in behind there (you can’t see me from the path), and I make a sushi picnic.

Walked home and settled back into my plotting.

I’ll explain more via video next week what you’re looking at, basically it’s my masterplan for my two shows, and I was deeeep into it.

So I’m flipping between excitedly Sharpie-ing up calendars and spreadsheets, to very still, deep, concentration.

Hand over mouth always.

Like my nomenclature? Haha, I kill me sometimes.

And that’s how I didn’t notice the extreme storm coming in through my balcony door.

It’s almost okay today. That thing is old, a decade anyway. It’s the first ever Chameleon couch with wheels. They sell them with that option now, and that was allll me.

Can’t wait to start sharing my ideas with you, this security blog of mine, oh man, wait till you see. Haven’t been this excited in a while.

Just a Minute – How a Year Really Is

Aug 18 2011

Yup! **

Didn’t we have a great summer? Weather wise and other? Doesn’t the fall feel full of potential and change? YA BUDDY.

Hair’s looking good today, eh. Lisen, junior stylist and my professional toner, tuned me up. Go to her for maintenance too: your blonde will be better.

Like my sunflowers? @ItsBrownBarbie gave them to me for my Stella party xo.

I really enjoy making Just a Minute videos, click that link to see them all. Topics are very varied.

This one goes with the above video, it’s About Time.

** The new video, it’s kinda a bad title isn’t it. It was difficult to title. Any suggestions lmk.

Also I debated calling this post: What To Expect From Me Till September

Things From Vegas

Aug 11 2011

A fast preface – I didn’t take many photos, I never do.

I don’t see the point of photographing things I know are online, and prettier, than I can take.

Here’s what I did document.

You can take beers for a walk on the streets here.

I stayed at the Paris. It’s a sister property to the Rio (where DefCon was held), which means I had a shuttle available to me, to move back and forth.

The people were great there, and I’m not going to diss the place, but will tell you: you get what you pay for.

If possible, you want to stay at a Wynn property, to my eye they’re the only ones that have been maintained as a Vegas casino should be. This comes from years of eyes, this had to have been my tenth trip to Vegas.

I don’t even really like the place, I just seem to always end up there, much like how I end up at Jays games. I was at another Jays game just last week actually. That’ll be a fun post.

Here’s the front steps of Ceaser’s, a former Wynn hotel.

I read once that Steve Wynn is so exacting, he used to have the white parking line painted crisp white every single day.
