Work has been so insane lately that I’ve not had any time to blog. So, sorry if you’re one of the 5 people that reads this and you’ve been missing me.

Who am I kidding.

Anyway. There’s a new love in my life. His name is Gus Gus 2. I named him that because I have a pillow that looks like a dog, and I named it Gus Gus. Can someone just shoot me now? Anyway, he looks like this:

I plugged him into the headphone port on my speakers, and learned the following things:

• He hates the Editors.
• He hates the new Franz Ferdinand album (don’t we all?)
• He barks loudly when I don’t pay attention to him, which causes my co-workers to shoot me dirty looks for disrupting… well… whatever they do.

Yay for iDog.

Ian bought the video-enabled iPod last week, and boy-oh-boy have we had a good time with it! Watching episodes of Lost (how did I NOT watch this show when it came out the first time??), playing with video hacks (thanks Engadget!), and just plain old oogling. We hooked it up to thje TV just fine, and we’ve started to think of some interesting projects to use it for. More updates to follow.

So, I’ve been getting some comments on when the next Tired Thumbs is coming, and I assure you… SOON! Charlie and I have had some scheduling issues, life issues, etc. Hopefully one this week. If I can tear myself away from WoW. I’ll try.

I finally tossed the old $20 CRT monitor and got a new BenQ FP91E. It’s very nice looking, but the display isn’t the best for graphics and text (wait… isn’t that just about everything?). But it’s still a lot sleeker than the old Triniton, and doesn’t have a giant scratch in the middle. w00t!

How I love you so. CTIA MobileFocus was tonight, and I ate like a queen. And drank like one, for that matter. Anyway. Winner of the evening? The hot pink Motorola Razr, due out this Christmas season. It’s hotter than I could even imagine. But I think I’m more of a Pebl girl. Definitely wins the award for most adorable phone to ever exist. And apparently tomorrow I’m going to an Engadget party. Fraternizing with the enemy? Oh yes.

Shiny Shiny has once again lured me towards something I suddenly cannot live without. This adorable bag has a build in iPod pocket (not that strange these days) but I like how it can be worn either around the waist, fanny pack style, or over the shoulder. It’s perfectly sized for me, because I hate carrying a purse (gross) and my Timbuk is just a little too big for casual wearing. The bag is from a company called Silent Revolution, and I think I’m going to buy me one of these very soon. Unless you want to buy one for me…

In other news, the move has gone well. I’m pathetically broke (yet trying to buy a fanny pack?), but it’s worth it to have a place of my own. Although, a couch would be nice. You can add that to the list of things you’re buying me. ‘Kay?
