Yeah, so. I have about 4 or 5 blog posts writing themselves in my head. At the same time. And each of them are 4 sentences long, which isn’t a blog post. WTF.

You know what that is, though. A blog post of random shit. So here we go. Ready? Okay! (I always wanted to be a cheerleader but the skirts were too short for my bigass and flabby thighs and I am also way uncoordinated, so… I pretend.) [Read more →]

This afternoon,  I got my usual  ’dingly ding!’ notification from my Berry that I had an email in my Gmail account.  I opened it and was horrified… well, not horrified, just kind of annoyed and confused… this BUZZ thing had forced itself on me.

The What?

Google Buzz is…. something. You know what? I don’t know what it is.

I heard about it yesterday, proceeded to ignore it, and it showed up in my Google account today, molesting all of my email and mingling with my Google docs. Earlier today, I said something to the effect of ‘I’ll want GoogleBuzz like I wanted GoogleWave, and then I’ll get it, and then stare at it, and then go……………….the what???  Because I still don’t know what GoogleWave is!

It looks to me to be kind of facebookish except it’s just for your Google contacts.  And twitterish except it supposedly does more than twitter. But…….just for your Google contacts. Cause, those are the only people I want to talk to all day. I totally want to maintain 2-3 methods of social interaction open, as well as IM and email. TOTALLY.

It seems to work with chat and twitter and Picasa. It also slices and dices and leaves your laundry with a fresh, clean linen scent. Too bad I don’t really need one of those Slap Chop things and I already use those Purex laundry sheets. Turns out I don’t need this Google Buzz thing.

This will probably turn out like Twitter, which I had a year before I really even used it, swore I’d never really be into it, and now it’s pretty much where most of my online social interaction happens.

But hey… if twitter and facebook ever blow up… man… I’ll be right on this… BUZZ… thing….

Did anyone every read Diary of V, on… Redbook.com I think it was? It updated every Friday and I was so. into.it in like, 98ish?

She started a new one and I never caught onto it. Didn’t it get published, or something? I don’t know what made me think of that but sometimes I think about that story.

Why is this guy on The First 48 undressing???? Wasn’t I going to write? Yes. Bye.

PS, welcome to my brain today.

Edit: Found it. Yep, it was in Redbook, and it was NINE YEARS of diary posts of a fictional character named Valerie. Eventually it was published into a book. Or three.  I don’t know what made me think of that.

UGH.

I hate when I don’t get five minutes to myself to like… decompress or anything and I’m gogogo all day and I spend my lunch break running a business errand and don’t get to eat lunch and the errand was useless and I have to go back and do the same errand later again!

I said all that to say that it’s busy today! I wanted to do a fun and light post, but I had trouble locating one I could execute by 9am. Do I really have to plan my blog posts ahead of time? Ugh, the dedication. I might be too lazy for that!

Random thoughts: I got to work and got a spot in the front row of the parking lot, near the door. It was after 8 am and that row is usually full. Total fluke, right?

I left at lunch, much to my chagrin, because I scored an awesome parking spot. Stood at the post office for………too long, came back and snagged the same spot. The Gods were watching over me, I swear.

I thought about a Music Monday post but I’m not very inspired, today. Though I did have to tell VPSales that Whitney stopped singing because she got addicted to crack. Then he asked me what crack was. Come oooooooooonnnnnn… this is the guy that told ME that a particular song was the Black Eyed Peas and I had NO clue. He likes “Yellow” by Coldplay, but doesn’t know what crack is? He pretends.

Speaking of music, is there some rumor about Billy Idol taking over for Steven Tyler in Aerosmith? I’d like to lodge my vote with a hearty HELL NO. Thank you. I am enjoying a reminiscent ”Love in An Ele-va-tuh”, and I can’t imagine Billy Idol singing it. Nope. Let it go, guys.

I hate the new Facebook. It can really go eff itself. I liked it better the way it was, when I could just see statuses and not an entire News Feed and I could look at JUST my Page updates, because when you fan 37 pages, you just need to see them all on one page! I don’t care that Joe Blow friended Sister Sue. Good for them! I hope they have a nice time with their Facebook friendship. I. don’t. CARE. Put it back, Facebook! *twitch* I like change but not change that doesn’t make any sense.

I’m happy to see a couple of people joined in the fun with the Sunday Steal- Pretentious Blogger Meme! I had fun doing it, because I like to talk about myself. Go visit Sarah and Tex. Theirs are even more fun and they went way deeper than I did.

Alright. I feel like writing, and when that feeling comes over me I better do it, because it’s fleeting.

Till the morrow, good people.
