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)

HELLO, LITTLE CAT!

March 15, 2008 at 3:44 am | Filed under camwhorage

Hello cat owners, I have a question: does your cat or do your cats like to hang out near your computer or laptop while you’re on it? Like, right smack on top of your keyboard or mouse? The way that Peachy aka Cockroach Breaf does (and Bobby, too, even though he’s too old for that)? She’s obviously not doing that in these photos here— but if you look up and see my Flickr feed, first photo from the left? Uh-huh.

Meow. I lovesh my baby kitteh. That’s all. She’s so cute, she should be used on custom promotional products lol.

This is probably going to do shit, but I am boycotting the Olympic Games. Like, I will not even watch a single game on TV.

This is probably going to do shit, too, but from now on, I wish all sorts of bad things upon Beijing. I hope your fucking economy crashes or something like that.

Doomed: Terrified cats crammed tightly into cages are hauled off to a meat market in Guangzhou

Thousands of pet cats in Beijing are being abandoned by their owners and sent to die in secretive government pounds as China mounts an aggressive drive to clean up the capital in preparation for the Olympic Games.

Hundreds of cats a day are being rounded and crammed into cages so small they cannot even turn around.

Then they are trucked to what animal welfare groups describe as death camps on the edges of the city.

But then, what do you expect from China— a country where human rights violations remain widespread and systematic? It’s not surprising that they treat animals this way.

This is sick and disgusting beyond words and something needs to be done about this.

I go hug my cats now :(

A SOBER SATURDAY SPENT KITE-FLYING.

March 8, 2008 at 11:55 pm | Filed under camwhorage, joyful girl

Because Allah was scammed by a Toys R Us salesman into buying kites, we spent today at the UP Sunken Garden having a picnic and flying kites.

Okay, so I didn’t actually fly a kite. Truth be told, Joan and I chose to sit our asses on the sleeping bag and watch Allah and Drew run around and socialize with the kids. I ate, Joan spilled water all over the sleeping bag and on the crotch of my jeans.

Anyway. Pictures.

A-HA! HELGA THE WEBER, CAUGHT CHANGING OUT OF HER JEANS
AND INTO A SKIRT IN PUBLIC!
