I sucessfuly upgraded my EE.  I kinda thought thats why the comments werent working.

It wasn’t.  But I figured out what was.  I needed the update anyway. :)

Comments work and you should comment on this entry just cause you can.  :)

Thank you

Because I kept editing the last list.

• The Blogathon is like less than 2 months away.  I am going to do it.  I am formulating a plan now. Picking a charity kinda should come first.  lol
• I’ve been thinking about the layout though too.  Either gonna do the sponge bob layout from last year, or a sort of Flickr-esq theme. (since one of the topics this year is going to be pictures.)
• I am not going to be a monitor this year.  I am also not going to be posting here alone. I’m going to have guest posters, like last year. Just different.
• Oh, did I thank all the commenters for my birthday wishes? If I didn’t - thank you!  Things haven’t been sunshine and daisy’s and your thoughtfulness really means a lot!
• The comments are farked up.  Nobody can leave comments. I need to fix that.  if you want/need to get in touch.
• I’ve programed this week’s show.  Sweet.  I will be live at 9am EST on MPYR radio. The theme : “From my iPod 2”
• I think I need to start making some lists. On paper. Hell, I might even take pictures of those lists.  lol

In no particular order…

• Over the weekend I went to the beach. See the pictures.  (shoot, flickr is down. i will add the URL later. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lukaquinn/sets/72157600272837096/) See the video I made with video, stills and Beach Boys music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2xqe8oU6b8
• I haven’t yet posted my last live show.  I didn’t even do a show last week.  I do not have my shit together.
• That totally sums me up right now.  I do not have my shit together.
• I spend a lot of time reading, watching TV, and looking at pictures on flickr.
• I’m working on it. Seriously.  I kinda need to just turn OFF the computer.
• I feel like I’m apologizing to the internets. I’m not even sure how I feel about that.  I’m not sure if that changes anything either.
• I think this unordered list has gotten out of control
• I want to go to the library. I also want to clean my kitchen, and organize my desk.
• I want to get my shit together.
• I want to pimp the MPYR. There are live shows every single day, and every single one of them is worth checking out!
• I’m excited that my best girlfriend has told me of belated birthday presents that are yet to arrive.  One for my 29th birthday and one for my 28th birthday.  All I know is that they’ve yet to arrive. Otherwise I’ve NO idea what they could be. But they’re sure to be fabulous.  Everything she sends/makes/gives is fabulous. I’m so lucky.
• In other birthday present news, like you care *wink*, I got a gift certificate from the grandunits and I ordered up myself a gorilla tripod thingy.  I keep dreaming of ways to use it in ridiculous video making experiments.  I’m losing my mind.
• Over the last 4 or 5 days, I’ve been eating a small container of sticky toffee pudding by H D.  I saw a picture in a flickr stream today of some Creme Brulee ice cream, by B & J.  I covet.
• I can find a million ways to distract myself. To get myself doing things. But I’m still not getting shit done. 
• I’ve got so much shit to do, I don’t even know where to start.
• Boy this list sure has gotten out of control.
• What’s really sick, I’ve left shit out.
• Hi. My name is Ruthie.  I am 29 years old.  It’s better than the alternative.
• Bless session saver on firefox.
• I wonder when this will happen again.  Posting.

p.s. if you wanted to make a sad lonely girl happy, you could always send her a present. :-) Maybe I should play shamless on my Show saturday.  (9am EST to Noon EST MPYRradio.com) Call my hotline - 206-202-0728 (normal rates apply) and wish Luka a happy birthday and get it played on the show Saturday!

Still sick.  Have meds now. They’re helping.  I can’t believe that birthday is just 4 days. Aiiii

“Grief is depression in proportion to circumstance; depression is grief out of proportion to circumstance. It is tumbleweed distress that thrives on thin air, growing despite its detachment from the nourishing earth. It can be described only in metaphor and allegory…Grief is a humble angel who leaves you with strong, clear thoughts and a sense of your own depth. Depression is a demon who leaves you appalled.” -Andrew Solomon, The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression

“In the stress of modern life, how little room is left for that most comfortable vanity that whispers in our ears that failures are not faults!” -Agnes Repplier, Books and Men, “On the Benefits of Superstition” (1888)

“While we are focusing on fear, worry, or hate, it is not possible for us to be experiencing happiness, enthusiasm or love.” -Bo Bennett, “Year to Success”

“It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.” -W. Edwards Deming

“Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.” -Gilda Radner

wow.  i havent written in my blog since Monday Tuesday.

I don’t just call it Birthday month because it’s MY birthday month either.  (Which it is, the 17th I’ll be 29. You can send me a present, if you want to.) I call it birthday month because there are at least 13 May birthday’s listed there in the sidebar!  It’s crazy.  There are FIVE on the 15th and 16th of May! Seems like loads of loving happens in August, I guess.  Oi! :-)

I’ve added 6 photos to my flickr stream today. All for the Project 365 thing I’m doing.  Some of them are cheat photos, in that I didn’t take them on the day that they’re posted for.  But what can I say - the last week’s been a blur. Today is the first day that I’ve felt sort of human. It’s a good thing.

(Anybody watch Heros last night? MAN that show knows how to LAY on the D.R.A.M.A!  Squeee I love it!)
