"cross-thread violation on rb_gc" when calling watir-webdriver via irb

i googled "cross-thread violation on rb_gc" and came across a ton of posts that were related, but not quite what i was experiencing.  in fact, i didn't find a post addressing cross-thread errors when calling watir-webdriver via irb, but found this: http://carol-nichols.com/2010/12/bug-cross-thread-violation-on-rb_gc

i uninstalled json and tah-dah!  cross-thread errors are gone!  thanks carol!  hopefully, i won't need json anytime soon otherwise i might have just created an even bigger problem for myself.  heh!

UPDATE:
if you reinstall json it still works.  just tried calling watir-webdriver in irb w/out errors.  w00t!

weekend recap: kasper got lost @ marymoor park

below is a map of marymoor park to give you an idea of the daunting task of locating kasper after he took off running in the off-leash dog park. i walked the trails along the river and every single other trail looking for my little monster. we assumed he'd book it for the water, but he ended up going back to the parking lot and posting next to a volkswagon. what a smart little guy! too bad it was the wrong volkswagon! luckily, someone noticed him pacing in the parking lot and called us to let us know he would be hanging w/ the hot dog vendor until we could make our way to him. THANK YOU random, kind stranger for looking out for kas! you rock!

the merc makeover!

i'm seeing major results from the bar method classes i've been taking, which is awesome b/c that shit is hard!  like omg-i'm-about-to-pass-out hard, but it's been $ well spent.  ask brad!  :)

the upper-lip + under-arm laser treatments seem to be working, but i'm only a few sessions in so i haven't got anything super conclusive to say about it just yet.

the clarisonic + shesheido skin regiment hasn't really paid off other than i'm not breaking out as much anymore, but i never was a pizza face in the first place so i'm a little hesitant to fully endorse either product.  i still have a terrible habit of picking my face, despite this video brad sent me, which you would think would discourage anyone from picking ever ever ever!  sorry!  rambling tangent!  anyhoooo...

next on my makeover to do list is to do something about my attire.  momz is always hounding me about how i need to dress like an adult and believe me i've tried, but i haven't been able to find a style to transition to that doesn't result in a big pile in my closet of unused clothes in 3-6 months.  so how to look elegant w/ minimal fuss?  answer: dresses!  it's a single piece of clothing w/ no top-to-bottom matching required, which means minimal thinking on my part.  whew!  thank god!  don't make me think anymore than i have to!  doing the math on how much i've already spent on my new fangled obsession is pretty fucking hard!  heh!    

wishlist: leifsdottir summer floral dress

add to cart: leifsdottir acid bloom dress

yay it's mine! $50 @ ebay. not bad considering it was originally $300 @ anthro. w00t!


add to cart: leifsdottir maharani bouquet top

yay! score x2! this was also retailing for $300 @ anthro, but scored it for a cool $50 on ebay. w00t! i think i'm hooked! winning! :P

apparently i am a dirty hippie...

why you ask?  b/c i got a call from my broadband provider telling me that there's going to be a planned network outage tomorrow during biz hours.  aaaaaaaaah!  being that i work from home, this is no mucho gusto hombre!  a friend just informed me about some hippie compound for nerds up on capitol hill called http://officenomads.com and i was all for it until i found this place http://www.workatthemill.com, which is much more my style i think.  i would probably never do anything like communal living, but communal working might not be so bad.  something like 1 day a week would be cool.  i'll keep you posted if i try it out!

toby ate my flip flops!
