Idiot on a Stick

You know I love the super powers movies. I always watch these movies and fantasize at the same time that it’s me with the super powers.

This movie’s about a guy (but he’s not the only one) who has the power to teleport himself anywhere - kind of “jumping” into the new location. However, there are palladins out there looking to kill those who have the power that ‘only God should have’.

That’s what it’s about. I found the effects kinda neat. I liked it, of course, there were super powers!

I got a call tonight from someone who was visiting my jewellery website. I wonder how she found it? She did, and I thought when I heard that she was talking about that, that maybe she wanted to buy something custom, since I say to phone me for custom pieces.

That wasn’t it. What it was, was that she owns a little boutique out in Transylvania (or somewhere 40 minutes away from me), and she says she features unique things there, including jewellery, and she wondered if I’d be interested in retailing at her boutique.

Wow. Me? That was kinda neat. My stuff? You like it? Wow. Ooooo. So I talked to her a bit as she explained her store. She didn’t explain how she’d plan on getting her kickback, but I had just finished hooking up my computer (for the final time, I hope), and wouldn’t you know I forgot to hook up the keyboard and mouse.

So I told her about that and explained that I couldn’t check anything online right then and told her to give me a call tomorrow. I may just go out to Transylvania to check out her boutique and to see exactly what it is she’d like from me.

She told me that she carries (big famous name here) jewellery and asked if I’d heard of them. She told me about the woman who she used to showcase who went off to Hollywood and was creating jewellery for some of the big stars. Hmmm. And she wants me.

So if I can get the courage together to drive without my snookey all the way out to Transylvania on the highway and using only my GPS for direction, I may scope it out tomorrow. Otherwise I’ll find out if she’s open on Sundays (probably not, with my luck) when I could have some company while driving, ergo making me less nervous.

So that’s my big news. I’m famous enough for someone to find my website… through their own volition with no help from me plugging it down their throats.

Crap. Does that mean I have to put make-up on tomorrow? I wouldn’t exactly want to showcase my ugly old self. Fine. I can manage that.

Got my computer back again tonight. Everything so far seems t be working ok. Yow put in a couple of extra USB ports so my entire system is not connected to a bunch of hubs. The only problem right now is that I put in one hub and it’s not reading it, so I just may not be able to use that.

The biggest problem I have so far is that I see he disconnected my other hard drive again, so I don’t have access to websites or my music. I’ll have to use my laptop for that since I copied a lot of that over.

I took my laptop to work with me today since I knew I had a two-hour meeting this afternoon. It was great, I didn’t end up with any tennis elbow pain from writing stuff, I typed it all into my laptop and then copied my notes onto a little jump drive to use on my work computer. Those in the meeting seemed to think the PINK computer was cute (or they thought it was really dippy and were too polite to say). I think it’s cute and I’m happy with it.

Who knows when my work laptop will arrive. They’re not exactly speedy getting things done there. I know for sure it’s not going to impress me as much as mine does, too bad they don’t order from Dell… they use HP for some strange reason.

Anyway, I guess I’ll go back to the laptop to see if I can upgrade that jewellery site to the newest WordPress version. Let’s hope it doesn’t fuck everything up so that I have to start all over. I’ve got a kajillion pictures up there, I wouldn’t want to have to start all over.
