Jen’s Corner

Wow, so I haven’t been posting lately. I’ve posted maybe a hundred times in my head - but my brain/intarweb interface isn’t working properly.
School! I’ve been going to school! I’m trying to wrap my head around this whole “homework” thing - it’s been about an eon since I’ve “studied”. This semester […]

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was great! And speaking of Harry Potter, since there’s some spoiler hints even on CNN, it’s time for me to pull the plug.
From /. - “Salon reports that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been leaked four days before it hits bookstores. It turns […]

Transformers is a totally awesome move. If you’ve got a theater like Alamo Drafthouse, you’ve got to go see it. Heck, even if you’re stuck with an inferior theater, go see it.
Was it true to the comic and/or cartoon? Hellifiknow. But it was very good.
Tuesday we’re going to the Harry […]

So I’ve been trying to read food labels more lately; basically trying to avoid food from China, and high fructose corn syrup. My $DEITY, that crap is in everything. I’m also less enamored of artificial sweeteners too.

Jif peanut butter? HFCS. I bought organic. Hope I like it.
Smuckers jelly? HFCS. […]

June is turning out to be a busy month! Well, busy for us, that is. Got the garage door opener and water heater installed, two vet appointments so far - old cat and kitten stuff. This week is a long overdue hair appointment on Tuesday; a delivery of more media […]

A new Spec’s opened near us, so we decided to check it out today. Man, it’s a lush’s paradise! It’s huge - for you Austinites, it’s where Acadamy Sports used to be down on Lamar and 290.
Anyway, wow. Acres of beer, booze, and wine, plus lots of cheese, chocolate, and other fancy […]

But you can rollerskate in my garage now! If I had rollerskates, of course. Here’s an “after” picture:

Half of that stuff on the left is for the theoretical garage sale we’ll have after we get through at least some of the junk room. Hopefully.
More pictures on how we spent a four-day […]

I mean, I know we haven’t been able to actually get to the water heater in… well, let’s just say far too long and leave it at that, ok?
But I’m not really liking the look of the bottom of the water heater at all. Gas heating/cooking makes me nervous, though it’s certainly cheaper, and […]

So I joined Twitter, ’cause all the cool kids are doing it these days. It’s kinda neat! Add me, if you’re into that sort of thing.

The world is just a little bit brighter when you know your hair is purple.
EDIT:
Ok, proof.

Snow gallery - more later probably!

Jake loves the snow. I’d really love to see what he’d do in a foot of snow, but that ain’t happening here. It’s still falling, and sticking pretty good, but if we get a whole inch of actual snow, I’d be surprised.

EDIT: Yeah, it’s more rain than snow […]

Well, consistency eludes me so far. Again. Oh well.

It appears that Gallery is still working for me. Hopefully, that will continue. I have no idea why it broke before. I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the database, but other than that I haven't the foggiest. […]

Here it is, 9 pm and I'm close to bending one of my so-called New Years Resolutions, or “Yeah, Rights” as I call them.

Let's see:

Post more consistently. More content!
Start “playing” Yourself!Fitness and DDR more often
Keep up to date w/ Moneydance
Get the photo albums back up on my website

I've got a couple […]
