Youtube

Why is there no “mark videos watched” button for my Subscriptions page on Youtube?  For some fucking reason videos I’ve watched continue to show up in my subscriptions and I actually have to open/view every one of them to get them to go the fuck away. >:[

Also, I’m really pissed that the guys who moved to LA to get paid to make Youtube videos are interjecting little commercials for random shit – handheld cameras, Amp energy drink, etc.  I unsubscribed from them immediately.  There is plenty of other funny shit to watch on the internet, I’m not letting Youtube win this one with their on-the-sly marketing techniques.

If anything, they should have told them not to vlog about moving/working for Youtube because it would have made it a lot less obvious when they wanted to talk about thier aWeSoMe NeW sPoNsOrEd PrOdUcT.

Yep, still hot.

July Update Ahoy!

Yep, still hot.

Yep, still hot.

Lost
I watched Lost seasons 1-4 almost religiously from 2004-2008.  I loved all the crazy obsession-sparked theories and speculation websites, we just had to know WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?! Shortly after season 5 started earlier this year, I started missing episodes and got all off track so I fell out of my weekly Lost habit.

Earlier this summer our TV broke,  so I decided that this would be the perfect opportunity to revisit Lost with my boyfriend, who had never seen even a single episode. We re-watched every episode of every season on his computer, and it was REALLY hard not to answer his (many many many) questions or give anything away.  There were a lot of things I forgot about or missed the first time, so for anyone who wants to revisit this series, I completely recommend it.  Season 5 was all new for me since I stopped watching so early in the season.

And now, here I am again, on the edge of a gigantic cliffhanger that’s going to have to wait until two-thousand-fucking-ten (that’s 2010) to be answered — did it work?!

I hope it did!

Summer
It’s been in the 100′s the last week (and the week to come) here in Portland and my fellow Oregonians are embarrassing me with their complete inability to cope with the heat. Literally, one person cannot pass by my office without mentioning the heat to me or causing me to overhear their conversation with OTHER people who are ALSO agreeing that yes, it is very, very hot outside.  Thanks guys.

Also, THIS ISN’T HOT.  Try getting in your (all black) car in mid-July in Phoenix, Arizona where the temperature outside might only be 115 degrees, but inside your car it’s at least 300.  You could fucking bake cookies in there.

I got my first (and hopefully only) real bad sunburn of the summer. I even prepared for the situation by getting a little pre-tan base weeks before, but I apparently was still too fair, because jesus christ I got burned EVERYWHERE.  Everywhere. I’ve never known sunburns to be this painful.  Oh and, did you know that after being burned everywhere, you peel everywhere too? I do not recommend this, ever.

Youtube
I hate that all the guys I subscribe to on Youtube have moved to California and are now getting paid to make video blogs about their lives. They’re only getting paid so that YT can control the content.  And I really, really don’t like it. I’ll unsubscribe from you fuckers once I find someone half as funny to replace you with… :(

You can see more of her beautiful abstract paintings at imago-abstracts.com. I think I’m going to go with this frame – it ties in the black and gold perfectly.
