Just in case you get thirsty...





I Love My 1up!

, , ,

As I posted a while back, I've been wanting a Mario 1up Mushroom thingy from ThinkGeek.com for such a long time. I tried to locate my old post about it, but my patience is limited. :rolleyes:

Well, a couple weeks ago, I got an unexpected email from ThinkGeek.com saying that I'd won a gift certificate. :eyes: I still have no idea how or why I won since I didn't enter to win or anything, but hey...I'm not about to complain! I finally got the 1up shroom I've been dying for forever!

Here's a picture of it...

I have it sitting right here on my desk keeping me happy throughout the day. I wrote to the people at ThinkGeek.com and thanked them, but I honestly don't think they even cared...but I still felt the need to write.
:o:


To top that off, Lonnie needed to go to the mall this weekend to pick something up. Of course, I went with him. Like I've said before, prior to moving to the Portland area, I hated malls. Now, though, I love them. The malls around here are at least two stories high...usually three...and they're just flippin' awesome. Well, Lonnie suddenly made a quick left turn and led me into a nail salon. :eyes: I almost died right there on the spot! I always have a French Manicure, but I have always done it myself. Lonnie's always known how badly I've wanted a professional French Manicure, so he totally surprised me by taking me to have my nails done! :love: Can you believe that? I mean really...how sweet! He even sat in a chair right next to me and watched the whole process. It was so nice to not only have them done, but to have him right to my left being his sweet and supportive self. :heart: I'm just so lucky to have him...I couldn't possibly be more in love with him than I am.

Anyway, the end result is awesome. I LOVE my nails. Lonnie paid a little extra to have what they call 'Solar Nails' done. When we asked what the difference is, they told us that the Solar Nails last like 2384 longer than the standard nails and also are MUCH stronger and won't chip and that sort of thing. I tend to be kinda hard on things, so Lonnie knew the Solar ones were the perfect ones for me. :lol:

Well, the whole process took about an hour and a half, but the end result is just so pretty. :o: Although I could barely understand the Asian woman who did my nails, she really knew her stuff! It's almost like an art form. Seriously. That's a skill I would love to acquire. Lonnie said he thinks I'd probably be fairly good at it, so we might head over to Sally Beauty Supply to see if they have all the junk I'd need to try to do it on my own. I could practice on my Mom...she's always game for that sort of thing. :smile:

Anyway, I had a Hell of a time taking a picture of my own stupid hand for some reason, but here's how my nails look....

Those are my satin PJ bottoms in the background. :o: They're so comfy. :sst: Please keep in mind that my hands don't usually look that meaty. I'm retaining what must be like 348 gallons of water. :down:

I've had a pretty decent time with life lately. We're still struggling a lot here and there, but that's all surface stuff like finances, clients...etc. The stuff that really matters is going so well for us lately. I feel truly happy inside and I've not been able to say that for a very long time. It's not the toys or manicures...it's the feelings behind everything. Of course I appreciate and thank God for all of the fun and neat things I've got...but I thank Him even more for this feeling of inner peace I've gotten lately. :o:

Thanks for taking the time to read my babbling! I hope you have a truly wonderful day and that you, too, will feel the inner peace I'm speaking of. :love:

I Feel So Dirty! :(

, ,

Well, I finally broke down and did it. I opened Firefox for the first time in months just so I could install the Mario Addon I mentioned in my previous blog entry. :cry: I feel like such a traitor...a complete giver-inner! :down: I just couldn't take it anymore, though. Sitting here wondering just how cute it was drove me to the edge of insanity.

:sst: Okay, I was already teetering on the edge, but you know what I mean. :insane:

Here's a screenshot of what it looks like:
(click to enlarge if you wish)


I'm even posting this blog entry in FF...which is just one more reminder of why I love Opera so much. I absolutely detest the way Firefox screws things around in here. "Here" being the composition section of the blog. It's easier to code the junk by hand than to click the little buttons that are intended to make life easier. It's like they confuse Firefox or something and it brainfarts all over my monitor. :rolleyes:

So anyway, now that I've killed the curiosity, I'm going back to my beloved Opera...right after I sit on the floor of my shower & bawl my eyes out.
I feel so dirty! :cry:


ATTENTION GEEKS OF MY.OPERA!!!

, , ,

My very close and awesome friend of 4+ years, Carlos, sent me the link to something that nearly made me piss myself. :yikes: In a good way, I mean. p: He knows that I'm strictly an Opera user, but knew that I would love this Firefox Add-On, so he sent me the link.

I gotta be honest. This thing almost makes me want to switch over to FF, even if only for a limited time. ALMOST. I won't be doing that. :down: I am not a Run-Around-Sue with my browsers. Opera has my heart. :love:

So anyway, here's what I'm babbling about.

A short description:

MushroomKingdom is a theme for all of the Super Mario Bros. fans out there. It features a landscape-style background, colorful icons with personality, and pipe scrollbars. Large icons are 32px and small are 24px.



A couple screenshots...



Here's a full browser image...


Soooo, since I don't personally have a clue how to make skins for Opera, I'm hoping that one of the Super Geeks out there will see this post and decide to grace us Opera users with a similar skin! PLEASE...For the love of God...Gimme some Mario for my browser!!!

Anyone out there willing to take this one on? I'd be ever so appreciative! I know that an assload of my friends would be, too! :D

(If there's already a Mario skin for Opera, why hasn't anyone mentioned it to me? )

Mario: Caught On Camera

, , ,

I'm a little late in posting these, but I thought you guys might like to see the pictures I got on Halloween night. As you may or may not know, Lonnie and I went to a Karaoke bar to watch people make jackasses of themselves. We don't drink...just went to laugh.

Well, I got more than I bargained for! :eyes:
Mario was busted doing some dirty dancing with some Army chick!
(Keep in mind that it was really dark in the bar,
so these pictures are going to suck.)







BTW - I was a nun AGAIN. :down: I really hated being a nun for the third year in a row...but we couldn't afford the costume I really wanted, so I made due. Lonnie was a priest again, too. As usual, we were both 100% naked under our costumes...well, wait. I had fishnets and whore shoes on and he had socks & shoes on...but other than that we were naked. We get a kick out of it for some reason. Here I am being a possessed nun...again...



After we went to the karaoke bar, we went to Denny's and had some coffee. That's a pretty usual date for us...we're broke and Denny's coffee is cheap. So there we sat in Denny's...drinking our overly charred coffee while being total kids taking pictures of each other under the table. He'd lift his costume up and I would take pictures of his goodies....then he'd take pictures of mine. It was pretty hilarious, really. We'd just be sitting there and then FLASH!!!! A big flash of light from the camera would go off under the table. People had to know what we were doing...did we care? Not in the least bit.

Here's my handsome priest doing his best to look around as if to say,
"Where did that big flash of light come from? WTF?!" :rolleyes:




The People's Mario

,

As you've probably noticed,
I just have to post any neato Mario stuff I come across.
Well, I came across something kinda neato a couple minutes ago,
so I'm posting it. :D

It's called The People's Mario and it's a Flash animation.
(sorry, phonies. :frown: )
I think it's kinda cool...
...not the coolest thing in the world,
but still kinda cool.


Clicky-Clicky-Bo-Bicky!

Mario Comes To Life! :gasp:

Here's the Mario we all know and love:


And here is what Mario would look like in real life! (click to enlarge) :eyes:...


(I really have an urge to pop those freakin' blackheads on his big nose! :insane: )
