Let It Be Known....

Yesterday, October 5, 2011, around 7pm, I went to start up my mac.  It would not start.  I tried again.  It didn't work.  It appeared as though the battery was completely drained, although, I remember distinctly that the last time I'd used it, it still had a bit of a charge in it.  That, and despite what battery experts might advise, I never let the charge COMPLETELY run out of the battery, so I knew something was highly unusual.

I think this is what is referred to as 'mourning'.  I gave my mac and iphone a little extra loving.  They needed it.

Slow News Day....

Is anyone else out there having trouble with the new updated safari?  For me, the update came through around this past Tuesday.  It will not work for me.  It is giving me a LOT of trouble.  I do not have the time or energy or desire to go stand in line at Apple and get this fixed.

I am pissed.  All I know is that for the past couple days, I have had to use firefox.  I am an apple person.  I don't do 'firefox'.  Once you go Mac, you never go back.

Can anyone help me get safari back?!?!

If You Want My Future, Forget My Past

So, we all have some embarrassing historical data...for example, a good friend of mine, who shall remain nameless, used to use a paschee machine daily (if you don't know what this is, it's probably for the better).

Well, as you probably already know, I had to take an unpaid week off work a couple weeks ago, and during that time period, I had a lot of time to go through stuff from under my bed, inside my junk drawer, and the back of my closet, if you will. I came across some old incriminating photos.

Well, you see, back in the good old days of high school, I used to slather on the makeup. My favorite kind of makeup was 'glitter'. Not the Mariah Carey hit movie - something even a little worse. I was almost known for it. In fact, I seem to remember, junior year of high school, after a school dance, my date commented that the next day, his dad asked about where all the glitter in the passenger seat of the car came from (the correct answer was: my dress, my shoes, my handbag, but mostly, my face, or the backup makeup in said handbag).

Yes, I slathered the glitter on. And the eyeshadow. I could really put other 17 year old girls to shame. I think I thought people couldn't see the makeup unless I put it on really heavy duty. The girls who work at MAC had nothing on me. I did, at a couple points, have friends point this out to me (that's what friends are for?), but there was no convincing me otherwise. I thought I looked good and I was going with it. I've refrained from posting one of these pictures for obvious reasons.

Anyhow. Nowadays, I've ditched the glitter (I have much more sophisticated taste, or so I like to think). I also wear less makeup (again, or so I like to think).

My readers - any dirty secrets in the closet? Please do share so I'm not alone.
