3:39p.m. I Wear My Glasses Far Too Often

• Ever since I got my new glasses, I am wearing them far too often. Pretty soon the world without them will be completely fuzzy.

• Love, love, love the Delicious redesign. I was part of the beta, but I didn’t really use it. Definitely seems speedier, which was my only complaint. I am such a delicious addict.

• Speaking of addictions, if Apple ever gets totally rid of Input Mangers, I’m screwed. Edit-in-TextMate is just indispensable.

• Not surprised that TiVo has let the Series 3 go.

• Loved the SYTYCD season finale. I voted for Katee, but I knew that Joshua would win. I’m very happy that she was the top girl, though. I would also like to point out that Katee was in four of the ‘favorite’ dances while the rest of the four finalists were only in two (or three, in Twitch’s case) dances each.

• I’m liking Shear Genius much more than Project Runway. I didn’t expect that at all.

• Cablevision added a whole mess of HD channels last week. Including Discovery HD, FX HD, AMC HD and Spike HD. All this really means are HD versions of MythBusters, Deadliest Catch, Rescue Me and repeats of CSI. Pretty awesome though.

• Incase you couldn’t tell, I’ve really been missing lists.

10:06p.m. The Thing About American Idol

Apparently executive producer Nigel Lythgoe is leaving American Idol.

I personally didn’t watch American Idol this year… I wanted to, but it just didn’t interest me. I think that this mostly has to do with the contestants that are being chosen for the show. They’re selecting people who aren’t always very appealing or at least very talented.

Regardless, the people they should pick should be people who just have not been discovered yet, instead of people who would never be discovered.

SYTYCD, however, picks more appealing/talented contestants, and the ones who aren’t appealing are off the show fairly quickly. I don’t know if this is because of the pairs, the fact that two people are kicked off each week, or the fact that the judges pick the first few people who are kicked off. For whatever reason, the contestants are more compelling and that is why I watch.

12:12a.m. Clearly, I Need Sleep

This morning I noticed I was pretty much out of face wash, but I knew I had another bottle in my bedroom so I didn’t buy one today. So tonight, when I went to wash my face in the bathroom, I realized I had to get the other bottle. However I couldn’t find the new bottle anywhere. I was looking all over forever. I finally found it on the bathroom sink. Yes, I had completely forgotten I had already put the new bottle in the bathroom this morning.

Clearly, I need sleep. Plenty of sleep.

2:03a.m. Glasses. They Help You See.

Yay for new glasses! I can see!

Seriously though, got a second pair of glasses and new lenses. The best part is now I can always have a pair in my purse so I don’t accidently leave the house without glasses. Thats the worst. Yay!

11:01p.m. Shiny New Things

So! I have a new layout up. I’ve had the ideas and the illustrations done for some time now. I actually first drew those birds maybe a year ago now… its just taken a while for me to find the time and motivation enough to finish up.

As for inspiration and creation… I guess I tried to make something that was more organic, but still with some structure, which is where I got the idea for the tree. At first everything was a variation of gray, but I quickly got tired of that and added in some rainbow flowers.

I miss the kitty already. But she will be back very soon… I just needed a change for now.

It should look suitable in Safari and Firefox. Of course I’m still working some kinks out and it is all subject to change. If you notice anything, please let me know. :)

I’ve also taken the plunge and switched hosts. Lets face it, (mt) is simply gorgeous. I love the amount of control that I have over everything while still not having to worry about the basics (email, stability, etcetera). I’m sure I’m going to have more to say about them later.

Anyways… so these are the new diggs. I hope you like em! :D

1:28a.m. F*ck You, Mosquito

Not only do you make me feel terrible on the outside, you make me feel awful on the inside, too.

So f*ck you, mosquito.

4:47p.m. Psychic TiVo

After having it only a couple of weeks, my new TiVo HD recorded Reality Bites and Top Gun. Like wow.

My TiVo Gets Me.™

12:06a.m. Subway Adventures

I took the subway by myself for the first time today. It was a very pleasant experience and I didn’t get lost or frustrated at any point.

I was even lucky enough to just catch the F train as it was leaving. It started moving as I got on, and I accidently almost fell on a man sitting, and used his shoulder to break my fall. Luckily he was clean, not scary and didn’t get angry.

6:06p.m. iPhone Screenshot!

I’m loving this theme, called Damino. Its gorgeous.

2:30a.m. MacBook Air!

So… I got myself a new toy! A MacBook Air.

Its easily one of the best toys ever. You simply cannot underestimate the incredibleness of the design and size of it. It truly is amazing.

I have a custom configuration, the 80 GB hard drive and the 1.8 Ghz processor. All together, for most tasks so far, I don’t notice *that& much of a speed difference between it my MacBookPro. I don’t see the rainbow ball of death nearly as much as I was expecting to, but of course something are going to be much slower, such as basic tasks in Photoshop. I have to test this a bit more to get a real opinion on it.

The hard drive is also significantly slower, which means that basic file operations, such as copying take longer, but it has not gotten to a point where the mac is unusable at all. I also find Leopard to run well and is rather stable.

After I installed CS3, I haven’t really noticed the lack of optical drive. I suppose it’ll be a pain in the neck burn CDs and DVDs, but I’ve got the USB drive, and other machines for that.

I have to admit I find the 80 GB hard drive a bit stifling. I might have to work out a better set up for my music, which is taking up the bulk of the room. I suppose I don’t need to have all of my music on my Air all of the time…

This is the first time I’ve ever been able to fit a laptop in my purse. It so freeing. I also have no desire to ever, ever sit at a desk. Not sure if thats a good thing yet.

In addition to the MacBook Air, I also finally switched to an Airport Express 802.11n in the apartment. Its fantastic. My home set up is almost complete!

All in all, I love my MacBook Air. Its so much in such a tiny package. Screenshots are on their way.
