Where Did This Week Go

If it’s like this now, omg to when I’m 80 <blink> there goes a year.

Made a video in Cherry Beach.

I’ve probably filmed 25 videos there, and I still get distracted by the planes.

I finally, genuinely like FinalCut X.

Latest OCD song.

It was interesting to watch this song… it was leaked :| via the above, well-filmed video, and pretty good audio for a concert eh, the cheering timing… a concert where cameras are banned, by someone who was able to scrub images off the internet, and this video belongs to the simplest YouTube channel too…

Who cares though, this song is like, the Ferrari of beats and hooks; the one at 2:56, oh girl.

lilac picking

Lilac season!

Top 3 favourite smells of all time.

Had to get a new lamp.

I turned it on and it fried the lightbulb black, right before my eyes. I was going to put another bulb in and film it to make an animated gif, but then was like, watch that be the time fire comes out, and why don’t I own a fire extinguisher?

Go-karting with Kart Start last weekend, have another post for that.

I dominated the weekly auto section of the paper last week look, of the 5 articles 4 were written by me ha.

This is me last week, basking in my genius of when I cracked it – a stock market mystery had been puzzling me for years.

It’ll get it’s own post, but I’m going to keep that post more professional, so here sits the gloating photo.

Next week’s column is about daydreaming behind the wheel, I managed to get myself sick because I am a dumdum, nah I’ll just blame this garbage summer we’re having, have to return the Infiniti tomorrow boo, and I forget what else for now.

Hope it was a good Thursday, best night of the week,

Big Planetary Alignment Tonight

It’s a rare occasion that the planets line up, and tonight, Venus, Jupiter and Mercury will.

Planetary Alignment

To see them: 30 minutes after sunset, face west, look first for Venus, as it’ll be the brigthest of the 3. It will last for about 45 minutes.

The next alignment won’t happen until October 2015.

Last year on this day I blogged about the Transit of Venus, which won’t happen again till after you and I are long dead.

For all my love of logic, I’m pretty into the planets. My thinking is that the Egyptians dedicated their entire country to constructing buildings to track such things. Think we’re smarter than them? We’re not.

Did you know the planets lined up with the Pyramids of Giza on December 1 2012?

Having an Allergic Reaction to Computer

Physically even, I’m cringing a bit while typing.  It’s 11:30pm on Saturday and this is the first I’ve touched it since yesterday afternoon; an eternity for me.  Slept most of the day, and while awake I’ve been powering through the new Arrested Development.

I’m sorry again for the long-lag of no updates this week, blogging on the road is one thing, but during a press test event forget it, way too packed and fast an itinerary.  Home Thursday night, then yesterday was busy ok fine, but also heavy. Nothing bad, but those roller coaster days are draining.

It’s a lot to juggle guys… full time writing for the paper, my blog has picked up big speed so fit that in, plus travel, plus if I don’t get imagination / daydream imagination time I start to lose it (where do you think this all comes from?), but that’s the first thing to go in a busy day, and I fell into old eating habits, and there’s so much exciting things to tell you, not sleeping is not a good solution because now I’m haggard on camera, and where’s the exercise supposed to fit it so I can be strong, not just to keep this going, but kick it to the next level…. and it’s June 1 today, and summer always passes so quickly…

I’m not complaining, but am frustrated. I may be slightly burnt out.  Kay done.  Thanks for listening.

Here’s some photos from last 10 days *hangs head*

TTY Monday.  I have to give priority to newspaper deadlines tomorrow.

Friendly reminder you haven’t backed up recently.

Bought a blue dress.

Trying to me more ladylike.

Me last Friday.

I went to a meeting dressed like that. I may be pushing this jogging pants thing.

Fanny packs though, are going to huge this fall.  Not being dramatic.

This weeks car: Infiniti M37xS

Saw a fighter jet at the Oregon airport.

Had a good hair day.


Last last week I ate mac&cheese 5/7 days.

Back I go into Arrested Development.

 

Running Behind Sorry Guys

Today is nutso, and because I’m leaving for Oregon tomorrow even more so.

Will update later tonight when the business day concludes. Have a great Monday!

 

Bi-Annual Buying with Help from CAA

As I’ve blogged before; I don’t go shopping, I go buying.

My trick is to hit the outlet malls, where a $50 t-shirt is the more proper price of $11.

I never buy trendy. So while I am never really en-vogue, I’m never really out of it, either; instead, I go for “classic”.

That and black, because then everything matches.

Here’s my new trick: use your CAA card, and receive

an additional 10% off your total purchase price, before tax

And that includes things that are already on sale. Everything.

A $150 jacket was reduced to $60, NICE.

Click here for a full list of CAA partners; their reach might surprise you, like it did me.

Here, I’m at the Gap Factory Store, and the Banana Republic Factory Store.

That’s where I met Shantel, who even got me into some not-black, not an easy task; natural salesgirl, that one ;)

CAA Lifeside Assistance

Follow CAA on Twitter and friend them on Facebook, and if you’re driving without roadside assistance, that’s foolish, join now.
