Month: May 2007

There are going to be three (maybe more) topics I’m going to write about today:

• Dell
• Death
• Threadless.com

Dell

I bought a Dell 😀 In my previous post I wrote about my car and that it got sold. With the money I got for my car I could buy this PC. Which I really need. My current PC isn’t too good (well, it lasted three years and I had a lot of good times with it), but my video card is kaputt and it’s hard to work or surf when you only see bright red/green stripes across the monitor.

So.. I’ve ordered the Dimension 9200 “Gamers Delignt”. I’m not a gamer but out of my sucky experience I ordered one of the newest video cards with it from nVidia – GeForce 8600. Other things it has:

• Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
• Windows XP Media Center (didn’t want Vista – yet)
• 4096 RAM
• 320 GB hard disc
• Wide Flat Panel – 20″
• McAffee Security

I can’t wait. I’m excited! I ordered the Office 2007 Student Edition from Amazon just before. It’s not that bad in price. I never thought I’d spend this much on a PC (and monitor) but I just hope I’ll have it a lot of years and that it’ll work fine. I’ve heard too many good things about Dell and I’m not geek enough, nor do I have the time to build a PC together by myself.

The PC will arrive on about June 8th!!

Death

I found out yesterday that one of my former school mates died in a car accident. I haven’t seen this guy in years but still it was quite upsetting for me, he was such a nice guy. This is the first time someone I knew died in a car accident. I was so upset, I just started crying and I couldn’t stop. Yeah, I’m one of those persons who can’t handle death. I should work on that issue…

Threadless.com

Aahhrrrg… I just searched Snark MB on who posted about Threadless, and it was SIGRUN!!! Thanks Sigrun – because of you I’m addicted to that place (Trayay aka Tracy is a 25.37 year old girl, has been a member since April 15, 2007, has scored 1496 submissions, giving an average score of 2.43.)! 😉 But seriously – thanks! 😀

Threadless has a sale (one T-shirt 10 dollars) and, of course, I had to order two. This place is so cheap, and with the Euro being so high I actually pay less than when I’d buy a t-shirt here in Germany at a store (not including H&M). But American Apparel for example – a t-shirt costs 30 EURO!!!!! This place is so damn expensive!

This time I ordered slogan t-shirts.
They say:
– Procrastinators – leaders of tomorrow and
– In case of emergency break dance

Hehe 😀 Can’t wait for those either. Always such a nice surprise to see them in my mailbox.

I sold my car. Well actually, my parents sold it (thanks mom and dad). I actually wanted to sell it myself but realized that I have no time at all before the end of July and my parents offered to do it.

I wanted to sell James, the Mini, a long time ago but last year my mom would say absolutely NO to going down in price. This year though, I went down (I advertised it online and in the newspaper) and now it’s gone.

I got an email from a guy in Paris just asking “can I pay you less – cash?”. I’m always skeptical with people/emails like that, but an interesting email-chat between my mom and I came up:

Me: I replied to that person: “Hey there, sorry, we only do bank transfer, no cash”.

Her: But Trace, that means that he could come here with the cash and then all you have to do is go to the bank and have it checked out! Mom

Me: But Mom, he could come, from France, with two big and tall guys, have only a few Euros with him, kick dad in his balls, force you to give them blowjobs and then take off with the car… you know?

Her: What a big, super laugh I just had before I go in bed!! Especially with the blow jobs! And not only that – poor dad’s balls!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, we’re pretty open with each other haha.

I’m happy I sold him, he cost me so much the last years.

And I need a new PC, seeing my video card is kaputt – again (meaning I’m looking at a lot of pixel lines that move around the monitor) and I’d like to buy a Dell. I already search online daily, look at the different models and what you can order with them 🙂

So.. Laptop or Tower??

[EDIT]
Thanks guys for all your suggestions and comments on the layout. I’ll change and edit the design. 😉
[/EDIT]

I got sick of the busy layout two layouts ago – I made a simple dark layout – I didn’t like it, it was unfriendly and I didn’t want to look at my site – I create another “busy” layout which you are looking at now. At least it is friendly. 🙂

I got inspired by this shirt I bought (move your eyes to the left). At the moment I can’t find my camera, so I’m posting this hot stranger. Well, the t-shirt itself didn’t inspire me – the colors did. I sat infront of the PC, opened Photoshop, double clicked on the color, looked at my shirt, looked at the colors in Photoshop 🙂 I think it turned out quite ok, no?

I have two blog entries as drafts: Dream Cheating and The messynator. Explaining the first title – I had a dream a few days ago that Alex needed to earn money and I made the suggestion that he should work as a callboy and sleep with other women. Long dream short – in the end I didn’t want him to sleep with other women. Argh, I hate it when I dream of him cheating. I’ve dreamt that more often, let’s say about … three times in two years of our relationship.

About the latter post title – seeing I’m so busy with class right now my apartment is taking over… ME! The mess rules, the mess has total control over me. I am was good with cleaning the dishes, but now they’re just one big pile. I have piles of papers on my couch (my couch btw, turned into a closet and desk) which I need to organize – soon.

Ooh, if I had money I’d get a cleaning woman. I hope I’ll dream about that tonight…

Sorry for not blogging (if you bother 😉 ), but this layout is causing me depressions. I’m working on a new one and I hope I’ll get it up in a few days latest.

So, today I coded all my pages AWAY from WordPress. I don’t know why I got started with WP Pages at first anyways. Well, yes, I do know, it’s much more easier. I have no idea why WP goofed up the permalinks, “it” has done that with more weblogs. But at least now I moved back to normal .php sites and not pages that are somewhere saved in the Database. If you notice errors or something similar please let me know.

Atlascartography is killing me. Wait, actually it’s quite fun, but it takes up so damn much time. Wanna see? Those charts basically show you how many households there have beein in Munich in the year 2000, depending on one, two, three and four + people. Sisyphus work and a lot of statistic… and of course… Freehand, the oh so lovely software. I don’t understand why we’re still using that. Adobe bought Macromedia, so why not work with Illustrator?
