I'm not sure how many stars were forced out of their natural orbit to temporarily align but their efforts are very appreciated.

Check it out!

I hate when fate conspires to make me look like a horse's arse.

For example, yesterday, a friend noted that I'm an iPhone user and he asked what carrier I was with. I told him AT&T.

Welcome to Snippet Wednesday. I'd let you know how many it's been, but even I've lost count.

Responding
Every time I get that god-forsaken "(Not Responding)" status update in the top blue bar of programs when I'm working in Windows, all I can think is, "no shit, Sherlock."

Stupid Windows. Wanna save some time? Why don't you inform me when you decide to actually work.

I got this idea from Kevin Spencer for a 100-day recap of my yearlong photo escapade that I have dubbed Insty365, yanno, because the rule is that all the photos have to be processed through the Instagram iPhone app.

Of course, also like him, I'm a bit late. By my quick calculations (31+28+31+10 = 100) so the 100-day recap really should have occured back on April 10. Not that I'm not always late, so why change that now?

Author's Note: I realize that this post is going to result in my losing whatever shred of credibility I may have had in terms of music, but I don't care. I'm saying it anyway.

A month ago, I had no idea who Rebecca Black was. No idea at all. Yet the web was abuzz with all kinds of hate-filled messages about her and some song/video she recorded. Um, okay, whatever.

I saw the most amazing film the other day during my lunch break. It's called The Lost Thing and it won the Oscar this year for best animated short film. I downloaded it from iTunes the night of the Oscars but had completely forgotten about it. I just found it again the other day on my iPhone so I sat down and gave it a whirl.

It's a story set in what I'd assume is the near future or an alternate version of our own world. A young man living a rather unnoticed existence heads to his local beach to scour for bottle caps for his collection. While there, he discovers this "thing" that he can't identify and to which no one else has paid a lick of attention.

I need to make a change.

I feel like I've become a bit slothlike. I feel lazy. Uninspired. In a rut.

I need to make a change.

I wake up. I go to work. I come home. I do the same old-same old.

Welcome to Snippet Wednesday!

Help
Don't you just love when you use either the built-in or online help service that comes with a piece of software and look for a topic, have it return zero results but instead suggests an alternate question, only to also return that suggested alternate also with zero results? Stupid software.

My new Sonata is in the shop right now and it makes me sad.

It's not some huge problem. Mostly just a bad sensor that is keeping the airbag warning light from shutting off on my dashboard. But it's enough to freak me out and it's under warranty so I took it in to the dealer. Better safe than sorry, right?

Just another Snippet Wednesday [oh-ee-oh].

Foo
The new Foo Fighters album Wasting Light came out yesterday! Any day that new Foo Fighters is dropped unto us is a good day, indeed!

Katie and I broke a few cardinal rules on Friday.

1. We went to see a movie on opening night that we were unsure of. 
2. We saw a new movie during the cinematic "dead season." 
3. We paid money to see a remake.
4. We saw a movie starring Russell Brand.

Hey all. Sorry for my MIA status lately, but I do have a mighty fine reason! I was on vacation for about a week and a half and tried my darnedest to avoid online access since it cost boku money on my cruise ship.

Yep, you read that right... cruise ship.
