"Up to a point a man's life is shaped by environment, heredity, and movements and changes in the world about him. Then there comes a time when it lies within his grasp to shape the clay of his life into the sort of thing he wishes to be. Only the weak blame parents, their race, their times, lack of good fortune, or the quirks of fate. Everyone has it within his power to say, "This I am today, that I will be tomorrow."
-- Louis L'Amour
A colleague stopped by this afternoon and said "I need you!!!"
The next 30mins were spent in front of cameras and AWESOME LIGHTING (lighting that makes you look 20lbs thinner!) set up to record "feel good" clips of ppl interacting with our products/software.
you can't see me on the itty screen but you can see the tip of my foot in the bottom right corner ;)
Brunch @ Chez Maman, the best eggs bennie I've had in months.
ME WANT!
but shall not have :(. to reiterate yesterday's sentiments, "vintage" sure comes with a crazy price tag. plus, who uses a landline these days anyway?
what i really wanted months ago was sold out :(. PRETTY!
my hesitation over the price tag (and 'vintage' never comes cheap, when i think it really should be!) left me in a position of "oops, no more! all sold out!". while it made me sad, i forgot about it... until this weekend when a friend told me she purchased a carafe from the same online store.
so i asky-ed earlier this week, "haz you more purty bottlez in stock?"
and today, the gods-of-material-crap-things replied, "yesh, thee can haz thy coveted 1951 vintage argentina seltzer bottle."
it wouldn't have been my first choice but who cares, esp when this ended up being my ONLY choice.
another case of "no ask-y, no get-ty"!!
oh. but it also goes hand-in-hand with "no ask-y, no get-ty, if you have no mon-ey!"
My toes are $&@!!#%€# cold!
Traffic was simply not moving and alternative routes were shut down. Basically, we're snowed in and have to stay another night in Tahoe. Boo!!!!! Had any of us had the foresight that we'd be snowed in, we could have stayed at the cabin and hit the powdery slopes at Heavenly (only 2 mins away driving distance) today! Too bad, so sad =( ...
On brighter notes, my gambling-loving pals are stoked that they get to spend MORE time in casinos, despite losing their shirts in one last night and the suppressed miser in me is very happy that my friend found us a double room with whirlpool for $43/night @montbleu!
In gridlock traffic in Tahoe :(! We haven't moved an inch in 20 mins.
