Talents

Not proud, but pretty good at it.

Eavesdropping

I started getting advertisements from my them soon after I bought them. Seriously, jokes aside, I am very very creeped out.

Pre-bedtime Read

Our Internet was down last night...but here's the comic from yesterday! And yes, G actually does say "Sleepy sleep time".

Skyping

It's more effective than yelling 2 rooms over.

Stay away from the news

I'm not that much of a hypochondriac but the news and WebMD are terrible things when you're feeling sick and vulnerable. La la la I can't hear you la la la.

Proper Pronunciation

I think Tze was the first web-cartoonist/comic diary blogger I ever interacted with (Asian girl living in Germany who also does diary comics!), and I'm really looking forward to meeting her in person this weekend. But the downside of a web-only relationship is that...you don't really figure out how to pronounce their names properly. Sorry Tze! I guess I'l find out soon enough.

Anyway, go check out Tze's Meh Blog if you haven't already! She has lots of great illustrated recipes too.

Don't try this at home

I bet some people who read this comic are actually going to look it up . . . and regret it.

I can has Internets?

Uh-oh. I'm going to have to figure things out when I get there, but hopefully I'll be able to keep the blog going...!

Deep Profound Thoughts

Cavewoman

All Japanese cell phones, no matter how shitty they are, come with their own email addresses, and a lot of Japanese people use their cell phone email as their main email address. (SMS is virtually useless in Japan.) It was super-convenient but I mostly ended up hating it because my work would email me 24/7 and expect me to write back instantaneously because I couldn't use the old "I was away from my computer all day" excuse. And no one (no one!) leaves their cell phone at home. I hated being superconnected all the time and I'm so happy to be in a country where it's pretty normal to have a shitty pay-as-you-go Nokia that can text and call for 9 cents a minute.

Come on, Internets

Does that even work?

Probably not.

Addicted

I hope I'm not the only one out there.

I also made cookies this past Advent Sunday. "Moo!"

Actually, it's the leftover letters of my name.

'shopped

Oh, tricky Internets.

But really, I'd kind of like to believe that this photo was not 'shopped.

Best. Party. EVER!

Oh btw, have you seen Art is Better with Cats? If not, you should. Yes.

The Internets

Dear G, you has a lot (of unnecessary, useless things) to learn about the Internets.

Something

Hello hello and Happy Monday!

Whenever I don't check my mail for over 12 hours, I start to get antsy and worried that something important's come in and I'm going to be in trouble because I didn't attend to it immediately. I never know what this something might be, but something.

The truth is, I don't really get anything hugely important or urgent in my inbox anymore, so I can stop freaking out already.

Short Attention Span

I think my attention span has gotten significantly shorter in the last few years. (Just as I wrote that, I opened up a new window to check something else.) I can't seem to concentrate on one thing for a very long time, especially when I'm working on the computer. I usually have at least five windows open at once, and often find myself writing three or more e-mails simultaneously.

Pretty scary. Maybe need to do something about that.

Mama vs the Internets

The Internet is a difficult concept to grasp.
