Hi! Yeah, my webcam is still broken! Yeah!
I also am recovering from the black plague of 2009! I swear... with all of the body aches and pains, I was expecting to wake up really muscle-ey or 6 inches taller or something. Oh well...
Above is a photo of me and my #1 commenter, Josi Jo. Josi is one of my teammates on the Portland Shockwave (although she's taking this year off to pop out a baby) and is all-around awesome in every way. I just wanted to give big props to Josi because she has commented on every single post -AND- this photo makes me look 100 pounds smaller than I actually am. Then again, that photo was taken at the end of last season, so I was probably remarkably smaller then than I am now. Hm...

Webcam still down. I have feelings about this.
Hi. Webcam still looks like this:
So I like to pretend that my grocery shopping habits can completely throw off a store's inventory. Mostly because I tend to get into phases of consuming, and usually I consume things that most people don't buy. So, for example, when I was in a Corn Nuts phase, it was only a week or two before my local convenience store ran out of Corn Nuts and it took them awhile to stock them back up. And when they stocked up the Corn Nuts, they had a special display and Corn Nuts sale. Unfortunately, by the time they had re-stocked their Corn Nuts and made the special sale, my Corn Nuts phase was over.
It sounds ridiculous, but that wasn't the first time that sort of thing happened (although it happened with other products: Skittles, Fierce Grape Gatorade, basically anything I buy a lot of within a short period of time.)
I went to Trader Joe's yesterday to stock up on my everyday breakfast/lunch supplies, because I am in the middle of a very long Frosted Mini Wheats for breakfast/Brie and sushi for lunch phase. And wouldn't you know it, they were out of Frosted Mini Wheats. Now, I am not going to take responsibility for this, because I only buy two boxes of cereal a week from Trader Joe's, but that also meant that I had to find a new cereal for the week.
I chose these what pockets filled with Chocolate. It tastes like candy. I don't know if I like that or not.

So you may have noticed that nothing has happened in the past couple of weeks. I believe Josi is even holding a candlelight vigil waiting for the return of this blog.
The truth is that I moved into my new office. For the first week, I was trying to figure out how to make my user account an administrator on this computer, because it wasn’t allowing me to install any programs. Blessing in disguise, I guess. I got a lot done that week.
Last week I finally had the webcam up and running, only to find that it is an utterly useless piece of crap. Bad quality. Bad bad bad everything. So back to square one, I guess. I will maybe just do this from my desk at home for awhile? I don’t know. Hm. Anyway…
Since I can’t take a photo of what I am eating, let me tell you what I’m thinking as I eat my lunch today. How’s that for a compromise?
I’m thinking, “Well lah deed ah, Miss Brie and sushi. Lah deed ah.”
Thank you for your patience. The webcam I bought for my new computer is totally a piece of crap. Case in point:
Now, you may be thinking, “Geez, Aimee. It’s not that bad.”
As a graphic designer, let me just say, “Oh yes, my friend, it is.”

Oh yeah, it's the classic "Sushi 'n' Brie Lunch!"
Look for more of that this week, cause I just went to Trader Joe's.

So today for breakfast I had... you guessed it... frosted mini wheats.
I didn't take a photo.
But I did just make myself a delicious espresso drink in my delicious espresso machine. And I am drinking it out of a Starbucks mug, even though I have never, not once, spent a dime at a Starbucks.
It's true! It started out as a joke, and now I'm just keeping up with it since it's been a long run.
Now let's take a moment to talk about this cubicle, shall we?
I actually have an office with a window and everything. But this current project I'm working on is on my laptop, and it's easier to just plug into the network in this cubicle than it is to move things around in my office. Also, I just installed my new webcam in my office (or am in the process of installing it, since it's being a whore) and so probably, within the next few days, i will be moving back into there and you will no longer be subjected to fluorescent cubicle posts.
Thank you for your patience.

020209_lunch
OK, so... I didn't eat lunch today. I've been really busy trying to finish up this ONE THING and it just kept getting longer and longer and instead of eating lunch, I just kept eating cookies from the giant bin of cookies on my desk.
Eventually I will finish this project and will go home, but for now... cookies.
