things of today

Can't remember if I posted this before, but today I felt like a walking Sprite can. Green coat, yellow bag, navy and white shoes. I fit the profile, trust me.

Things I did over the weekend instead of rehearsal, #thingsIforgotbefore: figured out how to juggle. Now all I need to do is practice enough so I'm not throwing stuff forward when I do it, and that way I will be able to stand still and juggle, and everything will be cool with the world.

For all you Twitter users out there: is there a way to only recieve "@" texts to your phone? I can read other stuff online, but it might be nice to get "@" messages when I'm just sitting in the airport texting or whatever.

Did I mention how excited I am over my Timbuk2 Metro bag? It's perfect. It's designed to fit composition-notebook sized things, which is hard to find in a medium-sized purse, and I don't want a full-on messenger bag size. Also, it's designed to last nigh on forever for people who are bike travelers, so the external material is weather-resistant to boot. (To the point most people call it waterproof.) And then the liner is vinyl, and it has a million awesome pockets, and a key loop, and a water bottle mesh, and it fits ALL my purse contents AND my netbook WITH ROOM TO SPARE. Fuck, I love this thing. I really really do. Plus all the pockets are covered and there is not only super-strong velcro but buckles on the flap that would definitely prevent this from being easily pick-pocketed. I AM SUCH A HAPPY CAMPER RIGHT NOW :D

Also, I went to Subway tonight for the "support Chuck" campaign or whatever, and I forgot how much I miss walking down Chaminade's campus to get a turkey sub at Subway and a Mountain Dew slushie down the street at the gas station and then walking back upstairs to my room and just surfing the net or watching a movie or whatever but just enjoying my slice of Hawaii. I miss it so freaking much.

Oh, I'm trying to figure out if I can attach one of my fake hibiscuses to my new bag (since it's all atrociously yellow) without poking a hole in the material that would let water in. Or I'm thinking I can paint some purple or green or blue stuff on there, but I don't know what. ~decisions~

twitter hax!

Aha! I have procured a method to recieve "@" replies only.

The intructions, should that site disappear:

1) Head over to this Yahoo Pipe (http://pipes.yahoo.com/geekygirldawn/ea0f9c9d6e951617143d4def230d4d3b)
2) Enter your Twitter username in the field and click the "Run Pipe" button
3) After the pipe is done running, click the "Get as RSS" button
4) A new window will be loaded with your RSS feed. Copy the RSS link from the navigation bar
5) Head over to notify.me and register for a new account
6) Configure each notification method that you would like to use: SMS, Email, and IM
7) Click the "Sources" tab
8) Paste your Yahoo Pipe RSS feed from step 4 into feed box and click the "Add Feed" button
9) The field will appear in the blue box below the "Add Feed" section. Click on the buttons for the type of notifications you would like to receive. In my case, I only have SMS selected.

I am currently testing this out to see how effective it is. Woo!

[EDIT] It takes about a half an hour to get a message, which is quite steep. Hopefully Twitter will set up something directly. In the meantime, I am wondering if I can hack this to get rid of the "from yahoo" and "Mercat (mercat):" parts of the message to only see who it's directly from ("Mercat") so I'm not wasting characters. Because not being able to read the whole message kind of defeats the point.

I missed Free Cone Day. =/

But as for April 22, Happy Earth Day!



I'll just be over here, depressed that in my lifetime we will probably run the earth out of resources. Awesome.
