As you can see I have a new format for my blog. You may recognize the layout because it is the generic WordPress layout as you can see on Joey’s blog. I’ll be personalizing it soon.
A great trip to Portland and our cult leader KB brought about:
-
-a transfer from MT to WP
-a subscription to metafilter
-two pairs of great pants from REI only to discover I had a $100 dividend I didn’t know about.
-consumption of the best oatmeal from Kornblatts
-cheese tasting at the gourmet City Market followed by purchase of great cheese and a bottle of 2001 Tedeschi’s Capitel Dei Nicalo Valpolicella which I consumed myself
-the traditional new cd that I let Kris pick out for me
-my first viewing of Kill Bill (awesome!)
-the popping of my Halo2 cherry (I suck at it)
-a personal one on one tutorial in PhotoShop from the guru himself
-and of course the obligatory trip to Powell’s where I walked out with some great books including “The Phantom Tollbooth” which Kris bought for me (thanks Kris!)
Ah yes, a great visit as usual and much needed. But speaking of childhood books and memories (Kris bought me the book because he couldn’t believe I hadn’t read it and I can’t believe it either), I found out something interesting regarding an old childhood song I used to sing all the time.
When I was a little girl my mom would teach us songs and sing with us a lot. At least I remember doing this before I was old enough to go to Montessori and maybe a little after. One of my favorites was “Aloutte” which was in french but I managed to learn it anyway. Of course now upon reading it I realize that I had butchered the language and in my head it looked entirely different. 🙂 Regardless, the bigger shock was what the translation was. Check it out.
KT,
Sorry if I lacked mercy playing Halo 2 with you the other night.. It’s hard for a cut-throat video gaming asshole to change his spots 🙂 I loved that translation you linked to… creepy!
Can’t wait to see all y’all at Dave’s Wedding, yo.
Where is your new rss feed? I simply won’t abide having to actually visit your site in order to read it. I must have rss! I crave it.
HELLO!! “…generic WordPress layout as you can see on Joey’s blog.” Something needs to be changed here my friend. KB…I need a new look. Generic…I tell you me! 😉
Joey, When we next talk, remind me to introduce you to this new revolutionlary communication tool called “email.”
For some reason, that link doesn’t work, Kris. Tried to paste it into Bloglines, but no soap.
Upon further review, the RSS 0.92 feed does work, but the 2.0 does not. Somehow, I’m guessing this news is interesting only to myself and Kris.
what a Krappy new “format”
Oh my God…why did Mom teach us that song?! Now I’m going to have nightmares! Hmm, what other twisted songs did she teach us…
“I like big butts and I cannot lie…”?
TD? What?
