It's Saturday

Happy Saturday.

It is Day 29 of the blogathon. It is almost over.
Let's review: this month I went to Savannah, Georgia, watched "Cheaters", read about the movie "The Bling Ring," and read Gloria's blog.
It doesn't get much more exciting.

thanks,

Two Pictures: T-shirts, And A Sunset

These were some T-shirts outside a Savannah, Georgia souvenir store.

A sunset from the airplane.

It is day 16 of the Blogathon.

Happy Father's Day.

Millennial Generation, You Are So Lucky?

I was listening to the news the other day, and there was a reference to the "millennials" or generation Y.

I was annoyed at first that I am not part of the millennial generation. (Again, I'm 36).

Then I thought about it, and quickly thought, would I really want to be a millennial? I don't think I would like it.

In summary, I'm pretty old... Not old, but old enough to make the references you see in my blog.

Happy June. Also Happy June 8.
(It is day 8 of the blogathon. It means I have to blog the whole month).

Blaine Knows Hair. And, An Awesome Repairman

There is an event tonight called Blaine's Color 6th Annual Hair Color Preview. It is at 7 pm. Sharp.
I don't know who Blaine is. It would not be fun for me, but if you get excited about hair color, then go!
The fee for the hair viewing is 10.00.
The event is at Sisu "resort".

Oh yeah.
I had a repairman visit the house today. He was from Sears home repair. Earlier we had a repairman, from the same place.
During the scheduled window, he did not show up... then he came 3 hours later.
But this repairman was on time, and did everything professionally. The first experience made me feel glad, now, that someone was doing their job.

The point of this is: Byron, you are an awesome repairman.

The End.

The Lady In The Window & My First Blog Post.

hello:

The other day I was at school (Richland College), trying to do a quick transaction. The woman helping me was maybe in her 40s, with large glasses. This was a pretty quick, straightforward thing I had to do.

The area where she works is shielded by glass. So she was shielded by glass. I assume bulletproof. I always feel weird talking to people for long periods THROUGH GLASS.
In the middle of the transaction, she said,

"Are you ok?"
Me: "Yes."
"You seem like you're mad. At me."
Huh???

When she said this, the glass made her look amorphous. There is no good ending to this, except to say, it was very odd.

moving on...
I wrote about the Baptist Generals recently. I am re-reminding you, and also reminding you that they are from Denton, Texas. This would be the "hallowed music town" of Denton Texas.

Here is a link to my first blog post.
I mentioned that the blog was started in June 2007. It was actually started in July. The first blog post is from July 26, 2007. Eerie.

THE END.
Thanks,
Alice

June 5 is National Running Day.

Troubles With A Document Box. And, Read Gloria's Awesome Blog.

Hello,

I bought a Super Stacker Document Box from Target. It is made by Advantus.
I tried to put a folder in the box, and it wouldn't fit.
So I thought, what's the point of a 'Super Stacker' Document Box, if it won't hold a folder CONTAINING documents?

On to:
My friend Gloria is the one who told me about the Blogathon, last year.
Thank you, Gloria, for telling me, and for your general awesomeness.
Make sure to take a gander at her blog, and in the process, see and buy her new book.

Thank you for reading, during the blogathon (all of June).

THE END

Since I started the blog in June of 2007, this month marks my 6 year anniversary. The End.

Siri, Help Me! She Is Speaking Japanese. What Do I Do? And, Wocka Flocka Flame

Hello all,

I am not a big fan of Siri.

This is the talking feature on the iPhone 4s. Supposedly, it is an extra helpful device.
When you need to do something or find something out, you can just ask Siri (you can ask it to text or call someone...). I have not found it very helpful and have decided to not use it very much.

Today my mom asked me to ask Siri something ... it was to ask about a song; it was something that was not completely necessary. I said, "I hate Siri. It is not a good feature."
I guess she got the picture.

Also, the Siri voice on my phone is programmed to Japanese.
I am hoping I can get some actual benefit, and learn Japanese.

Music News: There is a rapper called Wocka Flocka Flame. I noticed it when I was reading the birthdays column the other day. Apparently Wocka celebrates on May 31.

Good evening. As you noticed I have deleted anything about the blogathon from the description of my blog. That is because the blogathon is over for me--it ended May 31. However, keep checking in (you can do this daily if you wish) as you don't want to miss anything.
Have a great night,

The End Is Near ... I Mean The Blogathon. Silly. And A Correction For Big Rig Dance Collective. And, Dharun Ravi.

Dear I-Wish-I-Was-Still-Eating-A-Hot-Dog-On-Memorial-Day Reader,

I am sorry, that yesterday the link to Big Rig Dance Collective's Kickstarter.com video did not work. I stand by what I said in yesterday's blog.
Well, I do get the point of their production. Maybe it's not my thing. Here is the actual video, just in case you're longing to see.



(A serious note).
In 2010, Dharun Ravi used a webcam to spy on a tryst between his roommate and another man. The roommate committed suicide shortly after that.
Here is a link to a Los Angeles Times story. It is making news because Dharun Ravi has just issued an apology (Huh? Two years later?).
Very, very sad.

I checked for some Anderson Cooper news. I wanted to see if there was any "aftermath" to his kicking a guest who had had a lot of plastic surgery off his show. I did not find any, but I did find a link to his "sexy butt" taking out the trash. Yay, I think.

This post marks the Official End of the blogathon. In the future, I'll be posting less (Not once a month, however NOT every day). I decided to do this after my friend Gloria told me about it, and also encouraged me. Thank you, to anyone who took a chance and decided to read north dallas homegirl.

The tragic end,

Here Is My Sunday Post And, Check Out Marcel Hall's Video. Was He Really Just A Friend?

Hello Bloggerites:

Since I promised myself I would continue the blogathon (and I have to beat Gloria! I am just kidding), here is my Sunday post.

The Dallas International Festival (Wow. I didn't even know we had one. Just found out) was held yesterday. It's too late to go this year, but you can always go in 2013!

Music News: There is currently none. However, if you want to see Biz Markie, check out this video. Was he really just a friend?

Give Love, Peace, Hope and Luck.
