wordpress 2.5 problems

i *finally* upgraded my wordpress. which was pretty pain free. next time ill be sober when i do it though. made it a lot harder. the new interface is amazing. its so much faster than it previously was. nothing. of course. compared to textpattern. which i still miss. but the ease of use with wordpress is really nice.

unfortunately it is a broken release. which is really lame. i can not upload pictures without a huge workaround. (going to be ftp-ing and html-ing pictures in until i figure it out)

this thread has a solution, ill have to work on it later tonight.

on the balcony./

last weekend.. i think.. maybe the weekend before. probably the weekend before?

today i make dinner

after work, i took a bike ride to safeway, bought some things, came home.

and then made dinner?

uh huh.

ok. here are some pictures.

mango sleeps while i cook.

water does boil if you stare

i add spices and then stir together and let chill for a bit

i add oil to pan, heat, put in pasta and veggies

i now add diced tomatoes

and now pasta sauce. yay.

is dinner?

going on a bike ride

because i smoked way too much yesterday. hopefully riding the bike will make me feel human again.

which. speaking of cylons, colleen actually likes battlestar!

what what

?

starting the long ripping process

yesterday i started ripping my vinyl collection. this is going to take awhile. the first album i ripped was yoko ono with jason pierce (of spiritualized)

i decided to start working on singles (12 and 7 inches) first. as i wont need to break up as many tracks. as thats a pain. though. audacity is amazing. you can pretty much rip any format to any format.

right now my dilemma is what format to use. right now im ripping it to .wav

but thats gonna kill my hard drive really fast. but mp3 really is inferior.

oh well. im sure i wont notice the difference that much.. right>?

or maybe i should get the adapter and put that extra 250 gig hard drive in i have laying around.

why i use opera.

actually.. this is not why i use opera. i use it cause its better. by like 10,000%. (yes, that means you firefox)

but.. this is a nice bragging point.

but honestly.

get opera.

smoking is cool.

yes. yes it is.

i can’t smoke.

sometimes it sucks.

pictures of my bicycle

i *heart* my bike. for reals. my dad gave it to me.

here are some pictures of it.

the wonders of the digital age

i dont think i told my blog this yet, but i currently have 2 flat screen monitors. its pretty sweet. im not going to lie to you.the first one i got was 15 inches. a SVA brand monitor. it pretty much sucks. refresh rate seems pretty buggy and what not. but still. picked it up for 10 bucks at a garage sale. pretty good deal. the second monitor is a 19inch (im pretty sure) dell. i got it from the clients family. its pretty sweet.

so right now i have the dell monitor on the left. it runs my browser. then the monitor on the right i watch tv shows/ movies/ instant message/ use widgets.

i am currently watching 30 days of night.

and my speakers are pretty rad.

\what?

i bore you today.

ahhh. yeah?

well i am feeling a lot better. now i just have some sniffles. its pretty awesome. just so you know. had a good day yesterday. went to bed super early. before that went up to the office to drop off some paperwork. went and saw adam. adam and i got beer and hung out on the front lawn talking shit about peoples cars. or saying the car was awesome. kept watching for an accident. that never happened.

then bishop and johnee dropped by. gave them some beer. then willow got home. then colleen. then we decided to all go our ways. hung out with bishop for awhile. made some ramen. then colleen and i got super hungry. so we went to safeway. got a bunch of junk food. came home. ate. watched american idol. then some of jericho. which i really like btw.

and then i went to bed, colleen studied. she went to bed. apparently she tried to cuddle me but i was like ‘ahhhh.. nightmare!’ and went back to bed.
