Thankful, Hell Yes!, Friends, Link Crazy
My friend of several years, Carlos, just informed me that he nominated my blog in the "Best Blogger To Follow" category on Mashable's Open Web Awards! 
As I'm sure you can imagine, I'm very flattered. 
If you feel like voting for me as well, that'd be neato, but I'm not begging for votes or anything. I just think the whole concept is pretty cool and the thought that little ol' me might get a vote or two (other than my own) would be flippin' swell. 
Click on this little button if you wanna vote:
Thanks to anyone who might vote for me. I really do appreciate this type of thing. It makes me feel all loved and supported.

Nerds Rule!, Opera, Link Crazy
One of the most important fronts in the fight for web browser supremacy is the battle for JavaScript
engine speed. The game of one-upmanship has been going on for awhile now, and it’s not easy to stay on top of who has the current fastest JavaScript engine — especially since different benchmarks often yield vastly different results. However whether the current fastest engine is Google’s V8, Mozilla’s TraceMonkey, Apple’s SquirrelFish, Microsoft’s JScript, or Opera’s Futhark the battle is an important one.
In September, when Google first released Chrome, jQuery creator John Resig put up a good
rundown of JavaScript engine performance on his blog. Though his benchmarking is probably outdated by now, one theme was clear then: Opera’s Futhark engine ran near the bottom of the pack, with Internet Explorer’s JScript engine as company.

Link Crazy, Bwahaha!, I'm A Dork
You know all the avatars people are using on the Net? I even had one...from
FaceYourManga.com. Well, evidently I'm not the only one who grew tired of them. I learned earlier that there's
a site dedicated to stopping the Manga.
These people are pretty gung-ho about ending this Manga madness. They have a page dedicated to the
Worst Offenders...basically people who use
Twitter and have been reported to StopTheManga.com as offenders.
This is crackin' me up bigtime!
They've also got a
Reformed section for people who've come to their senses and let the Mangatar die. I would fall into that category. Only I'm an offender on a much bigger level! I even created a
short bus for all of us!
I don't totally hate the Manga avatars. I just grew tired of using it for my default pictures. I need variety. I'd also like to make it clear that I'm not saying everyone should stop using the Mangatars. I think they're cute and useful. The only reason I'm sharing this with everyone is because I think it's so funny. I mean, someone built an entire site dedicated to the loathing of Mangatars?
It reminds me of the
Anti-Croc Movement and the
Rachael Ray Sucks Community. (Which I just happen to be long time member of. Hahaha)
I guess there's something seriously screwy in my head to enjoy this type of stuff so much. Must be the Dark Side.

Opera, Friends, My Other Blog, Link Crazy
Some of you may be wondering why the heck I've kinda slowed down with my blog posting here on My.Opera. The answer is simple: I've been posting over on
my own site instead. When My.Opera was going through all of that down time, I got sick and tired of it and decided to update the look and feel of
my site so I could blog there again. That's exactly what I did...and I've been blogging there daily.
I'm really enjoying
my site...more than ever. I'm not sure what changed with me, but something clicked. I'm glad it did because I'm getting a lot out of it.
So anyway, if you want to continue to read my Randomness and whatnot, you should head over to my site:
Karen's Chronicles 
Also - I have linked to a few friends on my sidebar. If anyone out there wants to be added to the list, just let me know!
One last thing: For those of you who are wondering why the heck I've stopped visiting your blog - it's because My.Opera dropped all of my subscriptions. I know I'm not the only person who's had this happen. It bothers me because my memory isn't good enough to remember each and every one of the subscriptions I had. If you have noticed a lack of me commenting on your blog and would like me to comment again, please let me know so that I can re-subscribe to your blog. I apologize for not remembering each and every one of your blogs...my memory isn't what it used to be. That doesn't mean I don't like you or anything silly like that...I'm just a space cadet.

I'm A Dork, Productivity, Killing Time, Coffee
...
Things are going pretty well so far today. It's only noon at the moment, so who knows how things will end up. I'm hopeful, though. 
I'm sitting here in my comfy clothes drinking coffee. I ran out of coffee beans, so I'm drinking some instant coffee. My friend, Carlos, sent me some Juan Valdez instant coffee. I've had instant coffee before, but this stuff is way better than any other instant stuff I've ever tried. Good ol' Juan really knows how to make a kick-ass cup of coffee! 
When Sunny and I took off to walk her to school this morning, she had locked the door behind us. I had no idea at all that she had done that, so I ended up ringing the doorbell for either my Mom or Lonnie to let me in. Neither one of 'em heard the doorbell, so I had to walk around the house and knock on the glass door in our bedroom. I think I scared Lonnie half to death, but what choice did I have? I didn't want to have to camp outside until someone finally woke up and realized that Karen wasn't in the house! I could have been out there forever before they actually noticed I wasn't here! 
Normally that wouldn't be a big deal. I'd just pull up one of the cozy chairs out there and chillax until I was discovered. It's getting colder lately, though, so I would really have frozen my ass off! 
It was worth scaring the crap out of Lonnie to get back inside where it's nice and warm.
We drove my Mom into downtown Portland a couple times over the past week. I cannot express how much I love that city. I feel completely at home there. I only live about 20 minutes from the heart of the city, but still...I would love to live in the middle of it. I'd never do so with my kids, though. No city is a good place for children to be. There's too much bullshit going on down there. I prefer to be in our town of 5,480 which is close to the city. That way I know my kids are somewhat protected from the goings-on of the city, and are also getting a good education in classes which aren't over-filled. The schools in this town are really awesome. The only thing I don't really like is the fact that the teachers all look way younger than me! 
Every day when I go to pick Sunny up from school, I stand in the gym and wait for her class to show up. I watch all of the teachers bringing their classes in so the kids can meet up with their parents. I stand there thinking, "Wait a second...that's a student helper, right? It can't possibly be the teacher!" I'm wrong every time. The teachers are so flippin' young!!! I walk out of the gym feeling like an ancient old granny. 
The fact that my birthday is in 5 days doesn't really help matters! ...
...
......
Meh...oh well. We all age. I guess I feel so young that knowing that I'm older than I feel bugs the Hell out of me. I mean, I don't want to be like one of those old ladies who never acts her age. You know the ones - the old ladies who are wearing the fashions that 16 year old girls are wearing. The old broads who are in complete denial of their age. I never want to be like that. I look at those types of people and shake my head while thinking, "Wow...they need reality to smack 'em up-side the head!" I guess I'm doing okay right now. I'll just have to keep myself in check so I don't turn into one of those old farts in denial.
Speaking of denial, my son is in it, too. He's all congested, has a runny nose, claims that his throat hurts, but says he's not sick. 
...
...the last time I checked, all of those symptoms were signs of illness! I think it's awesome that he's got the attitude that nothing is going to hold him down, but damn! I wish he'd take it easy and get better. He's carrying on like everything's totally normal. I don't want him to push himself too hard. He doesn't want to miss any school, though. I think that's terrific, but on the other hand, unless he allows himself to get better, he could easily end up with something that'll give him no choice but to lay on his ass until he gets better. I guess all I can do is hope at this point. Admittedly, I'm a pretty over-protective parent. I guess that's why I still walk Sunny to & from school everyday and the school is only like 2.5 blocks from our house. I refuse to give any sick bastard the chance to harm my sweet, precious, and trusting little girl. No way! I'll be walking her to and from school until she's in at least sixth grade. I stopped walking my son to school when he was in sixth grade. I figured that when he was my height (5'9"), he should probably be allowed some freedom. Plus, he's a boy, and boys aren't as commonly victims of these sick bastards' shenanigans. I mean, yeah - it happens to boys...just not as much. The fact that it happens at all angers me to the point of wanting to go on a massive killing spree. 
Okay, I'll stop ranting now. Sometimes my emotions get the best of me.
I guess I'll go do some work now. I'm supposed to be working on a layout for a website. I don't understand why I love to do graphics so much when they're not for the purpose of making money. As soon as money is involved, the whole graphics things turn into a chore. I guess it's just a way for me to make things as difficult as possible for myself.
Anyway, I'm off to work and drink more instant coffee!

I'm A Dork, Link Crazy
It's been a fairly interesting day so far. I've been doing a lot of surfing on the Net and have read a lot of things which have helped to lift my spirits a bit. Funny stuff tends usually turns my mood around better than anything else. Well...funny stuff mixed with Vicodin and coffee is actually the perfect combo.
I've come to the conclusion that I hate Bettie Page. Not only do I find her unattractive, but all of her 'followers' annoy the piss out of me. What's with the bangs? I mean really. If I went & got my hair done and came out looking like that, I would stab the hairdresser in the jugular with her scissors. Now it's the hip thing to have super short bangs, I guess. In addition, she's not got the best body in the world. I realize that she was hip in the 50's & 60's, and the standards were different back then. I don't care, though. No matter what decade she was in, I still think she's unattractive. I guess I shouldn't hate her because her hardcore fans are dipshits...but I do. The way I see it is that birds of a feather flock together. And after all, this is my blog, so I can be as closed-minded and bitchy as I want to be!
If you happen to be one of these hardcore fans I'm talking about, then you can choose to ignore me from now on. It really doesn't matter. I'm simply stating my own opinion. 
OH! My second pot of coffee just did it's last gurgle thing, so I gotta go grab a cup....
Okay, I'm back with a cup of the fresh stuff now. I sweeten my coffee with Splenda. I figure that if I were to use real sugar in my coffee, I'd gain weight. I drink A LOT of coffee, so that'd be way too much sugar for one person to ingest. I use two packets of Splenda per cup. It's perfecto that way!
My cat is in heat again. She roams around the house screaming, "Meeeeeeoooooooowww" all day & night long. We need to get her fixed. We've been meaning to do it for a while, but haven't gotten around to it yet. It's not cool to put it off, so I'll push to get it done ASAP. Speaking of getting animals fixed, during my Web surfing, I came across a site for this product called Neuticles. I couldn't believe my eyes. People will buy ANYTHING! According to the morons who invented this product, "Neuticles allow your pet to retain his natural look, self esteem and aids in the trauma associated with neutering." Ummm...why not just get the little bastard a vasectomy if you're that worried about it. I know for a fact that they can do that since I had a cat who got a vasectomy. We didn't even ask the Vet to do that...that was just their normal procedure. And what makes these people think that animals are all wrapped up in how big they are like humans are? The 
trauma of going through ANY surgery will fuck with their head. I honestly don't think they give a shit that they're missing their nads. The only thing they care about is the fact that it hurts. I realize we can't know for sure since animals can't speak, but come on. Do you really think a dog who's still got nads looks down on a dog who's been neutered? I think not! It's all a matter of money. They're trying to make pet owners feel guilty about having their pet's nads removed so that they can cash in on it. Money grubbers piss me off. 
Oh well...to each their own, I guess. I just wish people wouldn't buy into bullshit like that.
Speaking of morons, get this! Apparently there are people who are into Transformer porn. Yes, that's right - Transformers. Or as they put it, "Hot Robot Love"... I'm not sure if there's a whole gallery of this stuff or if it's just the one picture - I really didn't care to dig into the topic too much. I just thought the whole idea was hysterical. As usual, I just had to share the lameness with you! Aren't you lucky?!
I have a really funny story to tell...although you might not find it as funny as I do. A couple days ago, my mother came into our bedroom to show me a necklace she made me. (I love it...I'll take a picture and show you later) After sitting on my bed talking to me for a couple minutes, she looked over at Lonnie's nightstand and saw something that she didn't recognize. She reached over and picked it up and then began to read the small print on it so she could satisfy her curiosity. She suddenly turned bright red. You're probably wondering what it was, right? It was a little pouch thing of lube! Here is exactly what it looks like. She looked at me, stood up, and said, "Now that I've embarrassed both of us, I'll get going." I laughed hysterically and said, "You didn't embarrass me at all!" She kind of rolled her eyes and then raced out the door. Lonnie and I laughed our asses off. I said, "That'll teach her to be nosey in our room, huh?!" If that tiny little thing embarrassed her that much, I can only image how she would have reacted to some of the other stuff we have. Oh man...too funny!
I guess I'll bring this entry to an end, but I'll leave you with something I think is just way too cute. I'm sure there aren't a whole lot of people who think it's as cute as I do, but oh well.

I'm A Dork, Slurpee, Link Crazy
Today was a pretty good day. I got a lot done although I'm running on only 3 hours of sleep. I had to get up early this morning to drive my Mom to a job interview. I should have gone to bed much earlier than I did last night, but oh well. What's done is done. My Mom's 99% certain that she got the job, so it's all worth it. She really, really wants the job, so our fingers are crossed. She has a second interview next Tuesday with the owner of the place. The fact that there's a second interview is a good sign. I'll be really happy for her if they hire her. Not only does it pay well, but she'll be able to dress casually, and she'll be doing stuff she enjoys doing. It'd be the perfect job for her.
Megadeth will be here on the 9th of September. They're okay - but not a band I'd pay $108 to go see. I mean really...who the Hell do they think they are? *shakes head* They were good back in the day, but their new stuff blows ass. I still wouldn't have paid $108 to go see them back then, though. Fuck that. I didn't even pay half that to see Slayer in 2004, and I L♥VE them! I even met Slayer & had them sign my bass and some other stuff...for less than it'd cost just to hear Megadeth play!? As if! Meh...whatever. I guess if you're a hardcore fan of any band, you'll pay the asking price to go see them. To each their own...as long as they listen to it quietly so I don't have to hear it!
My Mom's birthday is in nine days. We're planning on taking her to the coast for the day. She absolutely loves the ocean, so I can't think of a better gift to give her. It takes a little more than an hour to drive there from here. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. If it's not sunny, I'll need to have a Plan B so she won't feel totally ripped off on her special day. It's going to be a super-duper special birthday this time around since she'll be 60. She keeps insisting that she'll be 39, though. She even had Sunny believing her until I mentioned to Sunny that my Mom would have had to have been 6 when she gave birth to me. Then Sunny was like, "Grandma! You lied! You're old!!!" As I'm sure you can imagine, my Mom didn't appreciate my input too much. 
I'm such a pain in the ass.
I'm drinking a Smirnoff Ice right now. Too bad they don't have Smirnoff Slurpees. That'd rule! They do have a coffee flavored Slurpee called the Slurpaccino, though! I haven't ever seen it anywhere, but I read about it last night while I was doing research. Yes - Slurpee research. A person cannot know too much about them. In case you haven't noticed yet, I don't do anything in moderation. When I do something, I go full throttle. Even if it's something as lame as a passion for Slurpees.
I think I'm going to get off of here and go pressure Lonnie to call it a night. We rented some movies and I really want to watch them. One of the movies we got was "The Number 23" with Jim Carrey. I've been wanting to see it since I first saw the previews. Good ol' Jim never fails to entertain me. He's definitely one of my favorites. The other movies we got were "Bridge To Terabithia" and "Hot Fuzz". Hopefully they're both good as well. I hate renting a movie just to find out I wasted money on it.
So yeah...I'm outtie...
