groupon tint job + craigslist cargo box

omg yay my stink-mutt-mobile is finally complete! all it needs now is
a good vaccum...

why i won't be buying an hp touchpad even if it's only $99...

i was so stoked when the palm pre first came out b/c webOS had so much potential (loved the multitasking + touchstone charging + device form factor), but ended up having way too many software and hardware problems (i'm on like my 3rd or 4th device) and the apps in the market suck!  when i read hp was liquidating their touchpads for $99 i was kicking myself for not waiting for this deal after having dropped $250 on a nook color b/c i'm a cheap ass, but realized it was running webOS and was like "oh nevermind..." since i'd be hard-pressed to buy another palm-now-hp-webOS-device ever again!

examples of some of the issues i've encountered:
• cracked screen @ micro usb port (this also happened to 2 different devices)
• too many cards error (this happens pretty regularly)

• locking up when taking photos

• stuck in headset mode (this has happened to 2 different devices)

btw, i LOVE my rooted nook!  i would definitely recommend hacking it to anyone looking for a inexpensive e-book reader/interwebz/casual gaming device!  

yummy leftovers!

add to cart: ray-ban eyeglasses (model no. 5178)

i decided to drive down to the southcenter america's best sunday after my little workout class so i could re-order eyeglasses since toby decided to gnaw my two pairs to bits recently.  it's about a 45 minute drive for me so when i got there only to find a gang of people and a couple employees standing outside waiting for mgmt to arrive to let everybody in i was a little upset.  i waited around for about 1/2 hr before i bailed.  i just wasted an hour and a half on the road, not to mention gas $!  grr!  so after my uneventful trip i started hunting around the internet for glasses like the one of the pairs toby chewed and got these for over 50% what i paid for at america's best from eyeglasses4all.com.  i'm a little weary since eyeglasses4all.com wasn't rated very well here.  however, i did call the phone no. listed on the site to see if i could get a person on the line to tell me about how long the entire process takes and didn't encounter the full voicemail issues people were reporting so i've got my fingys crossed i didn't just get scammed...

update:

i just got notice eyeglasses4all.com doesn't have my glasses in stock. i've opted for the following as replacements: (i'm going to be mega pissed they don't have either of these guys in stock!)

toby ate my fail-over pair of glasses

add to cart: c9 woven yoga capris x2

scored some really awesome relaxed fit woven capris at target to replace the capris i have w/ the hole in the ass crack + some other pants i'm donating b/c they fit funny --- thumbs down to fold-over yoga pants. had to alter them a bit by adding ties @ the bottom of each leg to make them look more tapered so i don't look like a yuppie eastside soccer mom. heh!

the west memphis 3 are free!

yay for them!  if you haven't already watched paradise lost (available on netflix), you should!  it's a very interesting documentary about how the west memphis 3 were tried and convicted of murder based on little to no evidence just because they were a little different than the west memphis norm.  more information about their release can be found here: http://www.wm3.org/

good as new

the seams of the cracks have been filled + sanded + are barely visible now... just needs a good wash + will be good as new! yay for quick fixes!

update:

brad thinks my sanding job is ghetto fabulous so we're going to hit it w/ a power sander later this evening.  hopefully, it'll turn out ok then...  i'm just afraid the surrounding plastic will melt if we use a mechanical device to sand down just the epoxy parts.  cross your fingys!

toby turd is now toby the terrible

i was out running errands last night and brad called with some bad news. toby ate my yum-a-saurus pie amongst other things torn up into little shreds spread around the house! grr! he has now been officially renamed to toby the terrible! looks like it's time to setup the crate again...

how embarrassing!

brad pointed out the lovely hole i have in the ass crack area of my pants that i wore to class yesterday! btw i think it's your duty as a fellow human being to tell people their shit is broken if you see booty crevice peeping through!
