Kickass!

My life was dawdling in the Narthex of Cool (NC) before, but now it’s breaking all kinds of barriers into the Inner Sanctum of Radical (ISR).

It’s the little things, really: I just scored a bluetooth headset for 50% off when it wasn’t even on sale in the first place; I’m into a totally amazing guy and may get to be his totally amazing girlfriend; Christmas with my family was great, and I adore them because they’re just as nutty as I am; I get to go to Germany in one month!  I’m becoming more gutsy and honest about how happy I am with my life changes lately; My step-sister and I are real friends which adds to the very short list of women whom I trust with my true self; I’m having one of the easiest work weeks I’ve had in months (sorry CTI, I won’t bleed overtime this week!); My college friend just got engaged; and I found a great bridesmaid dress for my sister’s wedding.

And hell, the sun was shining today.

Welcome to the ISR.

White Whine makes me whiny

White Whine is the same thing over and over again. I’m not talking about content; I’m talking about format and tone. Apparently either one person is making all of these up and has no creativity, or the publisher only likes one type of whine. Meh.

White Whiny

Why isn’t Google Reader working? How can i keep up with all my blogs and websites if i can’t view the feeds? This settles it; Google is not the messiah.

This is the error I’m getting:

var _STREAM_LIST_STREAM_PREF = {“streamprefs”:{“user/05479955413994873644/label/people”:[{“id”:”is-expanded”,”value”:”true”}, {“id”:”subscription-ordering”,”value”: “A9EFDAD0FAC453A7F59C622396B3A9518D45678E88FE5434A5579739F01DEEC71584DADF”}],” user/054799554139

Yeah… hot. My White Whine for the day.
