grr

I hate being antsy. I never know what to do when I get like this. I have a pretty busy day tomorrow with important things to do and I don't want to go. I want to stay home and not go. Not going would be a great idea. I'm nervous for nothing, if you asked me what was going on I'd say oh it's nothing, I'm just really antsy right now. And it would be the truth. grr. I hate being antsy.

Trader Joe's

The closest food purveyor I've had for the past few years has been Trader Joe's. If you've been there, you know they're usually small locations with a lot of store-brand products (they are actually good products, not those bunny-cereal generic ones at Safeway), these products tend to be slightly off the regular path and change fairly often (which is my theory of why they give out samples all day, every day).

I usually walk in the store and, unless I'm extremely pressed for time (read: I have three minutes to purchase something), I go straight to the samples counter. They usually give out fun stuff, sometimes really weird stuff, but usually they'll get you to try something new and buy it. Once, they even offered to open a package of mango mochi ice cream just so I could try it (it worked, I love them). They have coffee every day, and sometimes english or irish breakfast tea (tasty!). That's why this video made me laugh:



A list of associated By The Ways:
- The sugar that won't pour is the Turbinado sugar, it's wetter than regular sugar, more like wet coarse sand. It's a bad idea to put it in diner sugar containers.
- I've been to their store for days straight at a time, usually just an excuse to get a tiny cup of tasty (free) coffee and a cookie (ooooh peppermint joe-joes). And yes, they do have the same sample five days in a row.
- The song is a version of a duet that Maria Creuza sang. It's a childhood song, it makes me think of people visiting the house and dressing up and sitting with the adults having serious conversations and then being told to go play something. :).

I really like this video.

Here's Johnny!

The wonders of editing and purpose:

Star Wars Retold by a Non Believer

I couldn't stop laughing when I first watched this, more because I know someone whose story of Star Wars is similar to this one.

Attack of the 80's Videos (sorry)

omg I love this video, I'm not sure if I already put it up but if I did then you know I really like it:

Men at Work - Land Down Under


Taking advantage of that, let's go to some related videos:
Toto - Africa


Dead or Alive - You Spin me Round


Men without Hats - Safety Dance (omg)


This one's for ale lela lila!

Youtube Channels

There's a few Youtube channels I've found recently, one of them is whitehouse, it has existed since 2006 apparently, kind of adorable. Another one is failblog, of course, they keep a tab on fail videos and sometimes epic wins. Finally, there's liamkylesullivan, it's mostly NSFW and there's an odd video on his main page right now. He has a character called Kelly, and they write dance-type songs and she sings them and stuff. The best are:

Shoes


Let me borrow that top


Text Message Breakup


No booty calls

Video Time

So I found a new bunch of videos that I really like, since I really like them I keep them on one of my three semi-permanent Firefox sessions, and then my computer yells at me. It's doing it right now, it keeps navigating back to the blanket page. All right, so my computer won't go insane here they are, now you can see them and I can not misplace them during a crash session.

The beginnings of the Internet


OMG I want to be one of these kids


Kitties on a Roomba


Four hours of baby play in 2 minutes


I was thinking the same thing when I first watched this informercial on TV


Awesome Stop Motion animation


P.S. A sausage is an indigestible balloon of decayed beef riddled with tuberculosis. Eat it and die.

Super Video Clicky Time!

There's a bunch of places with this posted up. I had to put it up, I couldn't resist mate! I'm a HUGE Beatles fan by genetics, and I'd never seen this video, a rooftop concert which turned out to be their last time playing together for an audience. (I got the links from Beatles Brasil, it seems to have a lot of info if you're inclined to read it in brazilian portuguese)

This one's for me mum.

I need more RAM!

Ok, my computer is driving me insane right now. At home, I pretty much do "online research" (as in, I open three or four Firefox sessions and then open about 15 tabs of data-intensive pages within each one). I'm told I have about 1 GB of RAM, which will make my computer INSUFFERABLY SLOW ack! It also decides on its own when to "click" on something, so it navigates away whenever it feels like it. GR!!

To be fair, I've had it for about four years now, I'm such a meanie with it. Eanie meanie minie mo.

Ok, I'm going to go make Chicken Donburi now, with my handy-dandy Personal Trainer - Cooking program for the Nintendo DS. I'd add a link to it but my computer will probably explode. My CPU and Page File usage history graphs look like 1) Several heads of Herman Munster, and 2) The grand canyon.



Ok, take a rest girl!

P.S. I published this post a few days after I wrote it. My computer refused to allow me anywhere near her then. Here's the game I was telling you about.

It's been a while

Hey dudes and dudettes!

Yup. I've been gone. Didn't even want to count how many months (it hasn't been a year, I'm sure of that, at least). I'm back only because I had to add a link to my friendly blogs, the brand-spanking-new Brish's Road Trip. She wrote some stuff on the Obey and Obama posters, the artist is pretty cool.

All right. Back to thinking about something interesting to write about, since I already begun writing again and such.

P.S.: The rats are fine, Kiera got her nail back and Emma got all better. They haven't got really sick since then but they are rats so they're getting to be old ladies, they're almost two years old! (Kiera sleeps a lot, but she still tries to escape her cage. Emma won't stop eating :) ).
