I have a baby!!! Oops, I did it again...

I played with your heart
Got lost in the game
Oh baby baby
Oops!...You think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I 'm not that innocent



*cough* 'scuse me for the Britney moment.

I have a new baby. Not even an hour old. What a bloody mess he is.


He keeps looking at me too.

How annoying.

I figured, if I'm gonna get more ink, I should at least have a theme, so I went with Egyptian again.

That's the "Eye of Horus".

Different myths tell different stories. Sometimes Horus was nice guy, other times... well, not so nice.

He's the God of Undertakers. It all depends what you read. Horus is the god of the sky, and the son of Osiris, the creator. Horus was the sky, he was considered to contain the sun and moon.

He'll take you to heaven but he can take you to hell as well.

Yes, I did my research. Yes, it has meaning to me, just like the four others. I wasn't gonna have that stuck on my body forever without knowing what it was first.

Hmmmmm.... Now what to get next? I'll have to think about that one.

A very nice dude named Anthony did it for me. I made sure he was available to do it. You can see him and some of his work here.

Who knew that when you dropped Mentos (tm) into a bottle of Diet Coke (tm) it would cause a reaction? These guys have perfected into an art.

*edit* In this video, water and dry ice was probably probably used. Seems that causes a similar reaction. This display was meant to mimic the fountain in front of the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas.*edit*




This is really cool. I wish something like this happened when I was waiting for a train. They're called "Improv Anywhere" and stage random events.

Idiots


I would like to thank My blogger buddy Arcturus for introducing me to this wonderful comic strip "Pearls Before Swine". Check it out. It's good.

Damned Cell Phone Companies


I have no idea when this image was taken. It's within the last six months because I'm blonde.. . I just found it on my one phone that I got about a year ago. I was cleaning it out so I could give it to a friend. I only used it for a few hours, once. Apparently I was in a mood in that pic. It suits the mood I'm in now I guess.

Cellphone companies suck. At least it's over. I did the best I could.

I've spent hours over several days getting this done. It's still not done to my satisfaction.

I had two mobile numbers. Back in December I cancelled the second one, why pay for two, right?

"You're contract isn't over yet, are you sure you don't want to keep it? It'll be $200 if you cancel."

**does math in head** "Yes, it'll be $350 if I keep it, just close it."

"If you find someone to take over your contract in 60 days you won't have to pay the fee Sir!"

"Cool. OK, Thanks."

I have spent so much time on the phone with these assholes. At least 3/4 of a day in total. I called to transfer posession of my number/contract. They let it into a pool of unused numbers. I can't transfer it. They will assign me a new number. Fine.

Am I wrong in assuming they would give me another local number? They gave me one that was over 50 miles away! (Good thing I checked) Not EVERYONE uses or has a cell. Long distance charges ARE AN ISSUE. Idiots. There are people on limited incomes that can't afford a long distance call. I made sure my numbers were local for that very reason.

I ended up with another number what will suffice, but during all of this they sent my friend a new phone that she had to refuse delivery on. Kept me on the phone for hours, still locked HER into a new contract, on top of mine, (w/ no new phone) gave me the run around... I am not happy. I've also bought two slightly pricey phones from them outright. Paid for. No effect on a contract. I couldn't even get some sort of rebate. That sucks.

I did get to talk to a nice gay man in customer service though. That was the only good part. He was very helpful. How do I know he was gay? I just knew, ok. I didn't flirt with him until the call was almost completely over. I could tell he was flattered, the silly giggle also confirmied it. Yup, he likes guys. I wish him well.

Gee. I just talked to my friend. There's a rat in her house. Lovely, just lovely.

Oh, look. Mercury is in retrograde (for you astrology buffs), no wonder there's problems.
