Month: January 2005

I love shopping at Overstock.com. I have bought various things from them over the years – cordless phones, a computer keyboard, little things here and there. Some of the deals can’t be beat, you just have to look for them.

However, I hate their new TV ad campaign. With a passion. I hate how the spokeswoman talks in this ultra-soothing voice, telling us all that, “It’s all about the Ooooooooo.” Seriously leaves you wondering what she is trying to pitch, doesn’t it?

I thought maybe that was just an issue I had with the commercials, but last night at dinner my Dad asked, “What is that commercial with the big ‘O’ for?” I told him that it was for Overstock, and his response? “Oh, I thought it was maybe for some porn company!”

Maybe that is their point? I don’t know. I just don’t get it.

I suppose it is wrong of me to sit here and listen to Andy Gibb sing “I Just Want to Be Your Everything” over and over again, isn’t it? I could at least launch Rhapsody and listen to some of his other music. Or go and get a Bee Gees CD and listen to that. Instead, same song – over and over.

Man, he was a hottie. I was going to marry him when I got older.

Oh, admit it. You wanted to marry Andy Gibb too. Or if it wasn’t Andy, it was someone else – who was it for you?

WHEEEEE!!! Notice anything different? I’ve been Moxie-fied! This has been in the works, but we weren’t ready to launch it, which is why the snow angel stayed in place as long as it did. Isn’t it ADORABLE? Christina is absolutely fabulous to work with – mad props to her! She’s my hero. Seriously.

Plus you have GOT to love a girl that offers up some high quality Andy Gibb mp3s. Mmmmm… Andy Gibb. Wasn’t he delicious?

Ok, focusing back on the design thing … skins are coming back! And I’ll work on converting some of the old favorites to WP skins and making them live again. Let me know if you have any requests – Venice, Dark Gray, whatever.

Mmmmm… it’s so PINK!

It is quiet around here. So quiet, you could hear a pin drop. Not that I don’t have things going on, but they all seem so … routine. I guess I should not complain about it.

I went downtown yesterday for a doctor’s appointment. Every time I go downtown, I’m surprised how much I miss it. How much I love downtown. When I was a little girl, I told my Mom that all I wanted when I grew up was an apartment, a cat and a motorcycle with patches for jackets all over it. I think I should have added that I wanted an apartment in the city – I always love the downtown feeling.

For the record, I have two cats, I have lived in a suburban apartment, and riding a motorcycle scares the crap out of me.

While in downtown yesterday, I saw a Yellow Cab minivan with the funky spinning hubcaps. While I’ve threatened to put them on my Honda (can’t you just see me with spinning wheels?), they looked really out of place on a Yellow Cab minivan. If I hadn’t been half-way through the crosswalk when I spotted them, I would have taken a picture.

I finished Kathy’s scarf the other night and started one for Kymberlie yesterday. I’ll try to take photos of them to share soon. It is very soothing to make them. I signed up yesterday for knitting lessons at my LYS (local yarn shop) – classes start Tuesday morning!

Send a picture of your bubble tea, send a picture of the boba floating in your tea, and send it on to Boba Fate to receive your fortune. We don’t need no stinkin’ tea leaves. [via Meredith]

Almost makes me want to go back to Tropioca with Kathy to get some Bubble Tea. Almost. Not quite there yet.
