First off, my übershique purses arrived from Iron-On Resistance. In the event that one pink purse wasn't enough, I stumbled in to a bit of a gift-certificate windfall last week and decided to buy a second, smaller black one as well. Both of them are quite simply ... flourishtastic. I've also been in touch with the nice guys behind Iron-On Resistance (Hi Josh!), and they assure me there's more pink purse goodness in the works *even as I type*! Apparently there was an unforeseen market for pink purse goodness, but you gotta cut the guys some slack because, well, they're guys. How could they have known what women need or want?
Second, my Gmail account still hasn't been outfitted with the new Chat song and dance goodness. This disappoints me for so many reasons (none of which have to do with the fact that my last name begins with "A" - so not only am I used to getting what I want when I want it, but by birthright I should be first). So... I'm still waiting. As patiently as possible.
On a sidenote, is anyone else confused by the whole "Gmail" versus "Google Mail" branding issue? When the chat thing was announced last week a new logo came with it. A "Google Mail Talk" logo. Which was suddenly (and not to mention, very very quietly) replaced with a "Gmail Talk" logo a day or two later. Was that a big 'Oops' I heard from sunny CA? So now it's apparently back to "Gmail Talk"... unless of course you're tabbing around Firefox or looking at the page title cuz as of this morning that one element has been (quietly) changed BACK to "Google Mail." So, um, yeah. Not only am I still without the cool new features but I also don't know what the fuck to call it. You figure it out.
While we're touching on internet geekery, in case you've somehow missed these Firefox themes, don't.
And finally, I'm between 2 books right now. I finished 'The Historian' but haven't yet received the *new* read in the mail. In desperation I picked up a small thriller - a gift!, let's just be clear about that - that's been sitting on my bookshelves collecting dust the past few months (for the sake of my fragile ego this book shall remain nameless). It's the kind of book that can easily be read in 2 or 3 nights. The kind of book that makes it to the bestseller lists but nobody wants to admit to reading. The kind of book where, and I quote, the following phrase is used THREE TIMES on one page (obviously a man attempting to write from a woman's point of view):
Not so much Shakespeare, but it'll hold me over until tomorrow (please... no judging).
[I totally blame today's ramblingness on the quality of that which I've been reading the past 24 hours. It's not my fault, really.]
Comments
As one who actually rambles (and titles pieces as such) I don't mind it...or are you commenting on something....?
We come to expect your randomness and I personally find it refreshing. I'm excited to hear that there are more pink purses in the works.
