Let’s see where to begin.
- Today, at work, I upgraded from Outlook Express to Outlook. I can’t say I’m happy. There are so many little things with Outlook that bug me. The two biggest issues being the address book (Contacts) aren’t working properly and I can’t figure it out, nor can any of the so-called ‘experts’ I know. The other is you can’t highlight an e-mail in a certain colour using “rules”.
- I cooked dinner. It was very sub-par. This is why I never try anything new. Sweet Corn Cakes sounded good, in theory. In practice, not so good. I ate it all anyway just to spite myself.
- I got a haircut on the way home from work. Yay.
- I installed Google Analytics on my site, so we’ll see tomorrow how it works (or if it works depending how my installation skills were).
- The term “emo” has been getting lots of hits on my blog all of a sudden, but mostly it’s still the damned Led Zeppelin and Crazy Frog posts that bring visitors here. On the plus side, my hit count is over 95,000 now — that’s a lot of views. On the minus side, most of them look at one or two posts and leave. And worse, none of them click my advertising. I have yet to see a check from Google Adsense. It’s okay, though, ’cause I like Google anyway.
- One of my Chinese vendors sent me the most cool and useful gifts. I don’t normally get gifts from my vendors, but happily this was a special occasion I suppose. I got a book in “Practical Chinese Conversations: 100 Putonghua Situations” which comes with CDs and everything. I had mentioned that I was going to try and learn some Chinese phrases, and now I can. The only disadvantage is the don’t explain their pronunciation guide, so you’ve got to listen to the CDs. I can pronounce xie-xie, but can’t even fathom how to say wanhau.
- I told off one of my vendors (Friday) and have yet to hear back. Usually, you want to keep a customer, but I guess they don’t.
- I recently added some chick to my MySpace page ’cause she asked, but she’s got lots of bulletins, so I’m not sure how much longer I’ll keep her around. I hate people who burn through bulletins.
- I have one ticket (for anyone who wants to go and sit with me) to the 12-23, 27, and 29 Panther Games. And also, the 12-25 Evening Dolphins vs Jets game. E-mail me if interested. No charge. Being my date is punishment enough 🙂
- My feet are cold. Actually I’ve been cold all day and coughing a bunch. I wonder if my cold is coming back.
- Hello to Erin who is recovering from her hoof knee work. Here’s to hoping she feels better.
- I have discovered I prefer cheaper toilet paper to Charmin. I could tell you why but it’s a bit gross.
