Why I’m Grouchy

by

Last week’s rain was fortunate, really. I wasn’t going to leave the house anyway, and that gave me a better excuse.

Than what, you ask? Well, I went to get my hair done (with the guy I like who only dyes, no cuts) and against my better judgment let the lady try for a repeat of the great cut I got right before I left Austin. Unfortunately, when I said “heavily texturized”, she must have heard “as ugly and crappy as possibly, put a bunch of messed up uneven layers that will be impossible to style and harder to look at”. Huh.

I mostly resemble this chick,

from Dancing with the D-elebrities, no offense if you love her, but she has some bad hair. And so do I. I’ll be in ponytails for another month, ugh.

I Have One

by

MK and I went for a walk last weekend and stumbled upon the 7-11 turned Kwik-E-Mart right by the Space Needle, 3 blocks from our place. Yippee super fun. They’re in New York City; Chicago; Dallas; Denver; Burbank; Los Angeles; Henderson; Orlando; Mountain View; Seattle; and Bladensburg, Md.

It was cute to see all the kids having their parents take pictures and etc. We were on our way to the Bite of Seattle so we didn’t stop, and since they aren’t selling Duff Beer, well, the novelty was in the decoration.

JcPenny Still Isn’t Cool, But Likes Zombies Too

by

Couldn’t stop watching this:

JcPenny Zombie

– you have to wait a sec then click ‘get in here’, then see the zombie ad, called ‘student body’.

They share my love of zombies. Somebody in the marketing department is a genius. With a terrible job. They need to work on their stores before I’ll go in one again… Grams actually used to mail order stuff for us from their catalog when I was little, so I have them to blame for my bad fashion. But now they like zombies…hmm.

Glorious Day Of Celebration

by

Finally, the day I’ve been waiting for! I found and fell immediately in love with the Hobo Madeline Clutch. Unfortunately, this perfect piece retails for 115$, and I have reluctance with paying anything more than 40$ for things I know I’ll get over soon enough…so what is one to do? Ebay, naturally!

I’ve been bidding for the last three weeks to no avail, until last week, and today in the mail I got my dream bag!!

Me And Kathy Griffin

by

Since I know that Santi is out at the show, I found this little test and couldn’t help but liken myself to the lady he thinks is funny, but her face hurts my eyes and her voice hurts my ears. Too bad we have so much in common…I was hoping for a C. Good thing all you guys are here in spite of technorati!!! 🙂

Technorati places http://somegosoftly.com in the low authority group.

That makes you a D-List Blogger!

D-List Blogger

Groupings Explained:

The Low Authority Group [D-List Bloggers]
(3-9 blogs linking in the last 6 months)
The average blog age (the number of days that the blog has been in existence) is about 228 days, which shows a real commitment to blogging. However, bloggers of this type average only 12 posts per month, meaning that their posting habits are generally dedicated but infrequent.

The Middle Authority Group [C-List Bloggers]
(10-99 blogs linking in the last 6 months)
This contrasts somewhat with the second group, which enjoys an average age not much older than the first at 260 days and which posts 50% more frequently than the first. There is a clear correlation between posting volume and Technorati authority ranking.

The High Authority Group [B-List Bloggers]
(100-499 blogs linking in the last 6 months)
The third group represents a decided shift in blog age while not blogging much more frequently than the last. In keeping with the theme of the maturation of the blogosphere, it seems evident that many of these bloggers were previously in category two and have grown in authority organically over time. In other words, sheer dedication pays off over time.

The Very High Authority Group [A-List Bloggers]
(500 or more blogs linking in the last 6 months)
In the final group we see what might be considered the blogging elite. This group, which represents more than 4,000 blogs, exhibits a radical shift in post frequency as well as blog age. Bloggers of this type have been at it longer – a year and a half on average – and post nearly twice a day, an increase in posting volume of over 100% from the previous group. Many of the blogs in this category, in fact, are about as old as Technorati and we’ve grown up together. Some of these are full-fledge professional enterprises that post many, many times per day and behave increasingly like our friends in the mainstream media. As has been widely reported, the impact of these bloggers on our cultures and democracies is increasingly dramatic.

Check yourself, if you dare.

UPDATE 23Sept07- Look at me – I’m moving up in the world!

Feet Things

by

Some people hate feet. I like feet. Well, my feet, and nice feet. As with my hands, which I was once told prove a sheer lack of physical labor in life (which I’m okay with) my feet are kept in the best shape possible. Both are frequently manicured. I think it’s important. I’m attentive to put my best feet forward, if you will, especially in summer and open toed shoes.

WHY DIDN’T ANYONE TELL ME THAT RUNNING RUINS YOUR FEET?

My running and walking around the city has been impeded by the issues I’m having. Despite changing shoes and socks, and other tips, the more you’re on your feet…well, eew. I lost a nail, gross. I’ve got old and new overlapping blisters. Yuck. So I’m taking a break to cure my little piggys, and I’m stuck doing sit ups and wearing whatever hides whichever blemish is most notable.

And I’m depressed. Summer is for showing off pedicures, not bathing in ointments. And I’m not exactly a marathon runner yet, so who knows what that will look like. I guess at least you know you’re working hard if you’re trashing yourself.

Meet The Peeps

by

There’s a party brewing in the building. Sounds fun, right? But what do you wear? What do you bring? How much do you drink? I’ve never lived in a building. And not one that had parties. To meet strangers. And, the median age in this place is 89, unless you’re gay. Then you’re hot, and rich, but not my type. At least that is a sign there will be good wine…

The building is getting busier and busier. That should also be good, but so far only means less parking, more people enjoying my roof, less room in the elevator, longer waiting for the elevator, and more people looking at me funny in the gym when I sing out loud. Oops.

So those will be the people I’m meeting. The ones that don’t talk in the elevator, the guy that parks in my spot – who I won’t be able to determine unless I go around asking people what they drive – which I’m considering!– etc. I’m bringing Two Buck Chuck.

I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes.

Blow It Up

by

It’s always a good idea to start your week off right. If ever there was a way, I think it would have to be watching things blow up in the microwave. And with

this link,

you don’t even have to clean up the mess.

The soap was my favorite. I had no idea.
