Oops...

Dear Internets,

Have you ever gotten one of those phone calls where some really important person at the head office of the place where you work calls you and asks if you knew that you accidentally ran this program that completely shut down the system for two hours, and you're thinking, "Um, yeah, I kind of did know, but I was hoping no one would notice because it's Friday afternoon and I was thinking maybe no one else would be trying to work," but out loud you say, "Oh wow, I'm so sorry, I will fix that and not let it happen again," and you feel really dumb? And then you eat a brownie because you think it might make you feel better, and then it kind of does make you feel better, and you think, "Great, I've become an emotional eater and I don't even know what I am going to do about it, even though it's the kind of thing that Oprah could probably help me with, because Oprah comes on while I'm at work and I don't have DVR or Tivo or anything"?

Um, me either.

On another note, here are some pictures of my Eee PC and my Swingline stapler. I should have included the entire phone in the picture - my laptop is seriously smaller than my telephone! I can't get over it.



The color is kind of funky, but I think the pictures are not terrible for a camera phone (that is three years old and not an iPhone because I am poor. And also, cheap).

I had been saving and watching for deals on the Eee PC for a while, so I was worried that I would be disappointed once I actually got one. However, so far, I am in love. (I got a good deal - $75 off, free shipping, and no sales tax, so that helped.)

Anyway, I am off to attempt not to break anything else in the next two hours. Wish me luck!

Love,
Jane

Dear Internets,

I finally figured how to upload pictures from my camera phone (for the love of Apple, cell phone companies should not make the process so difficult! But I digress...). My normal camera has been broken since before I started this blog, so in celebration of my new ability to add somewhat relevant, mediocre-quality photos to my posts, I retroactively added some to my post about my colony of tiny paper cranes*.** ***

*Technically, it is a colony of paper flapping birds, but let's not split hairs.
**Also, I took the pictures after I made two more little flapping birds so that the remaining three wouldn't be lonely, so the pictures don't really 100% match the post. But I like them. And am still not splitting hairs.
***And also? It actually was Hawaiian Shirt Day a few days after I titled that post (hence the lei in the pictures). So the picture is kind of appropriate after all. Yay!

Sadly, I didn't get any pictures of the truck nuts or the grape stomp, or any good ones of minor celebrities/Bevo. But I did get pictures of my new Eee PC!

This is not my picture. However, all the photos I took of the green case had my hands in them, and since the computer is so small, it created an optical illusion that made it look like I have some major man hands.


Look! It's a Distractible Jane window inside your Distractible Jane window! It's like it could go on to infinity!


Not particularly related - I just love Talia's picture of the man in the singlet. A whole lot.


Tomorrow I'll try to get a picture of the Eee PC with the Swingline for size comparison. Until then, be cool soda pops.

Love always,
Jane

P.S. I will update on the foot tomorrow.
