LAZY SUNDAYS AND LAZY BLOGGING.
First things first: my bandwidth has reached 80% of its limit and there’s a good chance my site will be experiencing some downtime, seeing that I’m as broke as a jobless single mother of two with a crack addiction and won’t be able to upgrade my hosting package any time soon. I was reading up on bandwidth optimization last night but I can’t, for the life of and geek in me, understand how to enable HTTP compression. I fail. And OMG, I keep getting email reminders and the usage keeps going up every time! I’m panicking!!!
I already emailed Dragweb to inquire about upgrading my package (a backgrounder: I’m currently on a free hosting package because when I renewed my site last May 2007, my host was supposed to move my site to his new hosting company, but that didn’t happen. So though I’m supposed to be with Technoville, I’m not. But my domain name registration is. Anyway, DW downgraded my package). I even thought about just completely switching hosts, but when I think about it, I like Dragweb. Never had any downtime, they get back to me pretty quickly, and I like their packages. Plus, the fact that my site isn’t even supposed to be up (technically) but IS up shows that they somewhat care about their clients. Aww.
I hate being broke and jobless, being the kind of person who never had any sort of financial difficulties in the past. I can’t ask my mom for money to pay for hosting because that would set off the parental Spanish Inquisition (What’s a blog? Why do you have one? What do you put there? Can we see?). I already asked my mom for money to buy 2 gigs of RAM for 1k and she said yes; too bad I was a day late and the dude found a buyer. Meh.
Plus, my mom had a garage sale the other day and sold about half of my wardrobe (obviously, stuff I no longer wear). None of the earnings went to me, of course, and I’m not complaining. I just wish I had the means to replace the stuff that went out because my cabinet is looking very very very dismal.
That said, here’s a bunch of stuff I bought at the mall yesterday. “Essentials”, is what I call them: V05 Curvaceous Curls mousse for my, uh, curls. Revlon Colorsilk in Light Plum Brown because my roots are showing and I have this knack for never using the same brand and color when re-touching my hair. The Face Shop’s Baked Shimmer All-Over Illuminator in Pink Nuance which better be worth the price tag (it’s cheek blush and eyeshadow in one).
Check out this funny (picture sucks because I have a piece of shit point-and-shoot camera):
I was surprised to see that the pretty mug I picked out for my afternoon coffee had an Oscar de la Renta marking on it. Yeah, what’s next, Valentino teaspoons?
(I am well aware that Oscar de la Renta has a tableware collection, but this mug is definitely not part of it)
Hi, my name's Helga Weber and welcome to my personal site. I'm 23. My first socio-political scandal will happen at the age of 35 and will include men, sushi, an African country, and lots of money. My lover is the greatest.
