Guess what Wii got? (plus real link)

Oh yes, we got a Wii. It was rather unexpected on my part, I really didn't feel I really needed one, but John got one off of ebay that was listed as being broken so he got it rather cheap... but it works fine! Which was unexpected. So now I have a Wii! It's rather fun, I must admit, but I just went broke buying games :)

Anyway, I have no idea how I messed up that link in the last entry, I apologize. Here's the real link to my article!

For fun, here's some random pictures I've taken lately:

Have a great day, everyone!!!

I'm famous!

Do any of you read consumerist.com? Well, you should. The latest reason why is that one of MY PICTURES got chosen for one of their articles!!! (the have a flickr pool, where you can submit pictures to it and then they use those as the pictures for their articles). This article is about having to claim your poker winnings on taxes (wait, people sometimes get a net gain? hmmm... I must be doing something wrong..).

This, btw, was the first time I've submitted a photo to the pool, and it was used in an article THE NEXT DAY! I feel so cool (notice how i even get credit for the photo at the end of the article)!

yay.

I was a victim of road rage today. The incident was in NO WAY my fault, but resulted in me needing to honk my horn in order not to get smashed in to, which resulted in an older lady yelling her head off at me and threatening to beat me up. Oh well, I didn't let her beat me up, and I calmly walked away into the store... and then when the coast was clear ran out to my car to make sure she didn't key it (this all happened in a parking lot). The car was fine, I left and went to another store instead, and life is generally good.

11 days until I turn 30! And only 9 days until the big project at work - the one I've been working on ALL YEAR LONG is FINALLY over!!!

yay.

My award!

Here's a blurry picture of the award I got from work (I took it with my cell phone). The quarter is there to give you an idea of the size:



It really says:

Innovation Award

September 24, 2007

The BEST part??? It's ACTUALLY a puzzle! You can take it apart and put it back together. it's so preeeeetty, too.

I'm trying to convince people at work that they need to do things for me because I have an award and they don't. Not only is this not working, I also have a feeling no one is ever going to nominate me for an award again.

(just incase you thought I was serious, I'm not ACTUALLY trying to convince people to do things for me because I have an award and they don't.)
