damn I look hot.
so, you want me to have an ipad, I know you do! Ebates will give me an ipad if I sign up a buttload of people to their service. basically, you do your online shopping through their website, they have a ton of coupons and special offers and things, and you get cash back on your purchases - anything from 1% to 25% of your purchase price. it's a sweet deal - I've been a member since 2007 and I've gotten $82 back so far, from places like Barnes and Noble, Hotwire, ebay, 1-800-Flowers. they have tons of shops linked to them, all very reputable, and it's easy to use, so why not?
this is my referral link if you want to join: click me right here you know you want to do it baby, do it!
please note that I don't really expect to win an ipad. :D I just really do like the service, and getting money back is always a good thing, especially since I do all of my Hotwire travel bookings for work through them.
I do look awesome today - I'm wearing my new lbd with leggings and my four-inch gold platform pumps (which irl are much less tacky than they sound). I am planning to take the afternoon off and go see "The Losers" in Kingston, it's sunny out, and basically the day could not be better!
one kind of crappy thing that happened this week was my netbook dying a horrible death. the damn thing will not boot - I have tried to flash the BIOS, I have tried to boot from a USB drive, but it won't recognize anything, and after spending four days and nights on Acer forums and googling like mad I am pretty much ready to throw it out a window. I was mostly pissed not so much at losing the media I had on there (basically last week's "SPN," this season of "Doctor Who" and "Ashes to Ashes" and a couple of movies were all that hadn't been backed up to an external yet), but I've been writing on it in bed lately, now that I have wifi in the house, not just on one computer (I write in Semagic, so internets are necessary). it was stupid and sort of selfish, considering I have a laptop and a desktop, but the laptop is kind of huge and bulky and definitely not ideal for writing in bed, and the desktop isn't portable. :) annnnyway, after pounding on the damn thing for a week I finally whined at alexandriabrown AND SHE BOUGHT ME A NEW NETBOOK OMG WTF. it's an Asus Eee (which, I'm sorry, is still fucking hilarious for a fangirl), it's pink, and it's so shiny and awesome! it's running Windows 7 (which Brian 2.0 also has, and I like, although I'm not as comfortable with it as Vista), and it just seems so much bigger than Alex the First, although I'm pretty sure that's just an optical illusion (the screen might be a tech bigger, and the keys definitely are). it's also _lighter_ than Alex 1.0, so that's sort of awesome. I'm sad that Alex v.1 only lasted two years, but his touchpad stopped working about a year ago and he's had his battery replaced and considering that I took him everywhere I really did get a good run out of him.
so, yes, I can haz Alex 2.0 nao! and I wrote a shiny shiny story on him last night, all about Neal Caffrey and G Callen ( and how they first met and you know you want to read it), and I am going to take him to Kingston with me this afternoon and go to *$ and give him a whirl at dling all of the stuff I lost off his little brother. :( but :) :) :), really!
and I totally know what I am getting ms. brown for her birfday this year, muahahahahahaha. . .
