ATL Weather and Moon Phase

Referrals for 3/5/10

Hello to:

174.79.188.# Hallo, Winblows user! I see you!
Alpharetta peeps!
Canada, eh?
Duluth peeps!
Thanks for the mention The Shave Den!
HA! “big men fuck” brought someone here from Ask.com!

I hope the thousands of people who see my hamseh tattoo haven’t copied it, but I’m sure they have. It’d be great to see someone with it one day! I still get tons of hits for my recipes, which makes me happy. And of course Bibi Chen and Atala continue to get tons of hits.

Since I get a ton of hits for Neat Receipts serial numbers, let me help you out. Some ASSHOLE on eBay stole my installer discs, so here’s a number from the app that could be the serial (I am not sure): FXRC-8003-0000-0793-7425. Happy scanning.

Crazy week, crazy people.

Wow, it’s Thursday already!

With all the moving drama this week has flown by. Tuesday was the big day for Emily and some other friends. It was an all day affair (natch) but went pretty smoothly. Em’s condo is really cool – in a neighborhood and perfect for them. We are making bets on which part of her rental house is destroyed first. My list is: 1.Sliding doors/screens 2.Carpet 3.Porch screens 4.Hardwood floor. :-)

We’ll miss having her across the street, but she couldn’t stay here with a kid ready to enter first grade. The ghetto schools just won’t do. So she’s now in a good district and we’re happy for her.

Nick has had a week of hardware hell at his job. The list of things he had to fix was very, very long. He scampered out of here pretty torqued up this morning. I hope he gets all that crap wrangled.

Speaking of wrangling, I consider myself a pretty good wrangler of artists, restaurant folk and other ADHD sorts. But I admit defeat at dealing with holier than thou hippies. I just can’t do it. I took a small job last week to help out some yoga instructors (who are ALWAYS self righteous hippies) with their crappy website. Whoever did it charged them “a lot of money” and made a simplistic html site w/out SEO and other errors. Well, after working with the yoga chick, I hope the first person charged a TON of money. I am walking away after DAYS, I can’t imagine working with this bitch for weeks or months. GAH! The husband is OK but the wife is a passive aggressive, humourless and offensive bitch that I wouldn’t piss on if she was on FIRE.

Women who use passive aggressive manipulation in an attempt to control situations are the worst. They try to control you by subtly accusing you of offending them when you’ve actually done nothing. This subtle accusation puts you on the defense so they can then have the upper hand and keep you in check by accusing you of being out of line. It’s a standard CHICK method. This ain’t my first rodeo, honey.

Now. I’d like for everyone to take a side trip to read about passive aggressive women and identify them in your life. Those of you who are passive aggressive, just know that YOU ARE NOT HIDING ANYTHING.

Done? Ok, continue.

Wow, March already?

Tempus Fugit!

We saw a flock of cranes heading North this morning – there is nothing like the weird honking of a flock of cranes! This weekend was chock full o’ ups and downs. Nick has been feeling sickly all weekend, but not consistently. He had swollen glands on Friday but no fever and has just felt crappy. Poor boy!

We did manage to do the Atlanta Cartoonists meeting yesterday, which turned out to be pretty great. Caught up with our buddy Eric and got to see his AWESOME artwork. From the convo at the meeting, I came up with an idea to offer artists a spot on our table at cons for a nominal fee to a) help offset the expense of the table and b) give them more exposure. I hope it catches on! :-)

Tomorrow promises to be a crazy day with Emily moving out and Stormy/Jim moving in across the street. I’m expecting to help Emily with vehicles and trunk rentals and stuff. I wish everyone best of luck with the moving!

This is a blah-blah post to try out the Twitter tools plugin!

Con Nooga and TN Aquarium

This has to be very short, I’ve got stuff to do!

The convention (Con Nooga) is very small and mostly geared towards gaming and anime. There were also many panels of a costuming nature: sewing, makeup, etc. So, for the main genres, it would be a great Con to attend. It’s close to ATL and cheap. I’m not sure it’s the con for us, however, but we’re not ruling it completely out.

We skipped the con completely on Sunday and did the TN Aquarium instead. Wow, what a bargain at $22 for two huge buildings! We did the Ocean side, broke for lunch, then did the Freshwater side. It was great! If you’ve not done the Chattanooga aquarium, I highly recommend it. They also have a butterfly room – which makes me SQUEEEE!! :-) I’ll upload the pix later.

I’m very busy with the bakery and Oracle this week. Biz cards, gift certs, web updates, door stickers and more plus putting up the March issue of Oracle will keep me hoppin’.

So, with that, I’m off to the rack and then to get hair stuff w/ Stormy. I hope to have the con and aquarium pix up by the end of the week.
