So, my birthday is coming up on September 11th (yes, it sucks to be born on that day). To all my many, many friends who are wondering what to get me this year, my Amazon wishlist is up to date. Yes, there are a bunch of books on there and yes, I want them. Especially those pertaining to Photoshop or CSS. I'm a designer, dammit. I need to hone my skills. I'm a practical gal and I want practical gifts. If nothing on there strikes your fancy, contact Marcus. Maybe you can go in on his gift to me (when I decide what that is). If you need yet another option: computer store gift certificates.

Happy Birthday, Dave! Hope you had a good day and didn't work too hard. (See, I didn't forget!)

I'd tell y'all to go wish him a Happy Birthday, but Marcus has never taught him how to access his blog. Maybe you could all just leave him a comment here instead. I know he lurks here.

Happy Independence Day!
I've got a little pet peeve about this holiday that has sprung up lately. People saying "Happy 4th of July!" Do we say "Happy 25th of December" for Christmas or any such nonsense? NO. I can't think of any other holiday where people do this. The holiday is Independence Day. Only be saying it will we remember exactly what it is we are celebrating. Otherwise, it loses meaning and becomes just another day off from work (for most people) and an excuse to BBQ.

May you all be safe and enjoy your INDEPENDENCE DAY!

(Climbing off soapbox so I can go to work)

Happy 32nd Birthday, Marcus!

Current mood: frustrated
You want to know what's really frustrating? Changing out the light bulbs in a string to find out the problem wasn't the bulbs, it was the wires. I just blew 50 perfectly good bulbs. (At least they were perfectly good bulbs.) *sigh* Oh, well.
