We went to the Apple store last night to swap mac minis, but because I wanted the new one slightly customized they said I had to order it online. Son. Of. A. Bitch. But whatever, it's not that big of a deal in the scheme of things, I guess. I won't have it over the weekend, or tonight for that matter, while Brett is at the clinic all evening with his laptop. And the things that we have coming tonight from Netflix are two Farscapes and TAXI. Taxi, Brett? Um...why?
Since I'm not allowed to watch the Farscape DVDs until Brett gets home, it looks like I'll be sitting in silence for a few hours. Ha! I was going to say "Maybe I'll use it to work on a website." But I HAVE NO HOME COMPUTER. On Saturday I was hanging out at the 'rent's house down the street because we were having a yard sale, and I went home for a minute to look for some information I needed, but it was on my G4, which was dead. It's so weird to be without it. Since it's not a huge emotional loss (except for the photos of Sasha, who's also dead), I keep forgetting that it's not there, and then I have to remember again. I'm glad I don't often have those moments with dead people/animals, because remembering that someONE is dead would rip me apart much more than remembering that someTHING is dead.
I could work on the sites on paper though. I guess most of the thinking it out parts are done on paper anyway. Right now I'm (supposed to be) working on Brett's acupuncture site, a site for my little Politely Undead illustrations to reside, and Maria's jewelry site. I'd also like to change up this place a bit, because I'm really sick of looking at it. I want to use other colors, but I don't know what I'll use. I like strange designs and colored backgrounds on OTHER people's sites, but when it comes to my own I'd prefer it be fairly simple and understated. Maybe I'll just...I don't know. There are some thoughts rolling around, but I don't really feel like articulating anything right now. Oh! Except that I want to change my title image to reflect just "catjackson" instead of "catjackson.net" and I wanted to change the "a different kind of self-love." sub-title because I'm also sick of that, and *I* think it's funny but so far no one else has said anything about it. Here are some ideas I've come up with for replacements so far, while being grumpy at work today (note: it's very hard to come up with something non-cynical while feeling unhappy)...
hating the world one person at a time.
she's dot com. wait no...she's dot net.
quietly disapproving of your stupidity since 1978.
a danger to all that is holy.
i heart spiders.
now with added cynicism!
i heart carbs.
sporadically updating her websites since 1997.
geekin' it up since turbo pascal.
I'm sure more ideas will come, but they'll probably be just as lame. Though I think the handful of people who know me well will probably agree that the third one is spot-on. Do you have any better ideas? Aside from super funny quips like, "the ugly one!" or "i'm boring!" Because I can handle self-deprecation on my own, thanks. :D
