The Places of My Youth Are Gone

On my way home from the Denver Center for the Performing Arts today (I'll write about why I was there later), I noticed that a Denver landmark is gone. There was a flower store on the corner of Franklin & Colfax Ave. called Fannie's Flowers. It is a brick builidng, painted white with green lettering. It has a unique architectural style. It has character. Now, the building stands empty, the paint peeling. It made me sad. I don't drive down Colfax often, so I hadn't noticed that the flower store had gone out of business. I've lived in the Denver front range area my whole life. It was one of those places that was just always there...and now it isn't.

Kevin Smith is Hot

Is it weird that I find Kevin Smith incredibly sexy? I check his blog a couple of times a week. I like his movies. I love Dogma. I can't wait for Clerks II to come out on DVD ('cause I can't stand going to movie theaters).

Sys Admin Appreciation

Yoshi reminded me Friday that July 28th was Sys Admin Appreciation Day. I showed my Sys Admin a little appreciation *wink, wink*, but I thought I'd share a little love for him here, too. In case you didn't know, we run all of our web sites off of a server here in our house. My better half, Marcus, is an IT guy extraordinaire. He helped me block the hot-linking losers on myspace, he helps me figure out how to fix code that I break, he's the BOMB! He also made me a caffeinated coffee beverage a couple of hours ago and helped me drag an extra desk back to my craft/computer room so that I can post on my laptop while I surf on my G5 (I'm on my laptop when I'm in profile on the webcam). So, not only is he my best friend, he's one hell of a sys admin. Thanks, Marcus!

Already?

Wow, that half hour went fast! I'm trying to post on some people's blogs, but for various reasons (comments closed, I need to register, etc.), I can't comment. Frustrating. Bloggers seem to be dropping like flies, as well. The total tally is now 299.

Why does my skin seem to get itchy when I know I have a webcam on?

I just read that Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock got married. I didn't know they were still dating. I wonder how long this one will last.

Meez

I was at at What Was I THINKING? earlier today and found this cute little avatar/animation/doll thingie. The website is Meez. I've been playing with it. The damned thing didn't work in Firefox, though. It worked in Safari.

Here's my result:
