Oh NO! what to do???

Where do you go when Facebook is down?!? Seriously!I so very much want to update my status with a freakout that FB is down but can't.... because it's down....

Whoops!

Todays Laugh Out Loud moment

MANY thanks to Tom & Lorenzo http://projectrungay.blogspot.com/


We just love the "oxygen mask" pose. Beauty queens and gay men at surprise parties. That's where you're most likely to see this. As if sudden emotional responses are triggered by poison gas or something.

Sure I was there but don't ask me about it

July 21 to July 25th, 2010 marks the days when San Diego becomes a Hollywood / Pop Culture /Comic Book Mecca.

125,000+ people travel to San Diego to attend this amazingly huge convention. They line up the night before to get into the room/hall they most desire to be in, so they can get the coveted front row seats to be just that most closer to those that they admire the most. Don't believe me look online for pictures of those that sleep out waiting to get in first...

In this video this guy is completely surprised that there were people in line the prior night - Hey Dude, what were you thinking?!?

There was an Anti-Nerd Church protest.... 'Little did Fred Phelps and his minions from the Westboro Baptist Church were not ready for the cosplay action that awaited them at Comic-Con.'

Check out blogger favorite Tea With Lemon for a great recap of the protest here...

& finally, yes, most of you heard there was a pen stabbing over a seat in the coveted Hall H
CNN Video here

Nope I wasn't anywhere near by when this 'went down'... but of course there were stories and though I KNOW it didn't happen, when I hear that there was a HAZMAT team I kept imagining them repelling from the ceiling like ninja's (yeah, I'm weird)

Other than the above, which I heard about via word of mouth, I only saw two, 2, panels: *NBC's Community & ABC's Castle* - Both were FANTASTIC & I was so happy to see them!!

Everything else I've seen about SDCC10 has been found on youtube.com, so I invite you to do the same and let me know what I should look up!

That's a real nice i-thing you got there

Don't get me wrong I'm not completely unaware of new technology, however I have to admit I don't currently own any technology that starts with an i.... not yet anyway.

So while I'm 'out of step' with the rest of the world [that needs to be plugged into the inter-web at all times, oh wait, I already do that while I work at a computer all day long ... ], I am aware of a lot of the cool stuff out there.

Recently I've been made aware of the Hipstamatic iPhone app which I think is pretty cool and kinda wish I could use it myself...

The Hipstamatic for iPhone is an application that brings back the look, feel, unpredictable beauty, and fun of plastic toy cameras from the past

Since I can't use this app myself I'm instead supporting, and really enjoying, the photos my friend who is using it. & now she has submitted a few pictures in a Hipstamatic contest:

I just love this pic

click here if you like it too and want to vote for it

You can check out the other photo's that she's submitted here and here - take a look and vote if you like them because in her own words I'm just trying to help her: 'Harness the power of social networking for a misfit mom to get a 4" print of her pic in a micro gallery in NYC! Thanks!!!'

My life "The Musical"

Music is my life.... but recently I've been a cappella'd out.

Spot the Octopus (don't ya just love the name?!?) had a show last week, and though I wasn't there personally I got to see the video of the show and really enjoyed it. I especially enjoyed the original "Sorry".





Then I was treated, via a friends post on facebook, to this fantastic Lady Gaga Bad Romance Medley by Univ of Oregon a capella group




Topping off 'my life the musical' this morning I received a 6 degrees of separation kinda way email letting me know that Glee (bestest show on TV today) was accepting online auditions.....

Max Crumm was the winner of Grease: Your The One That I Want TV show (2006), and oddly enough soon after I sort of met Max's mom. Anyhoo, it now turns out he's trying to get a vote by the public on Myspace so here is the link and if you like what you see cast your vote...

& remember turn on your TV tomorrow night at 9pm to watch Glee on Fox. Enjoy!

Awesomeness....

If you haven't hear (seen) The Key of Awesome video's on You Tube "welcome to the club". While you might not join up, so to speak, I do hope you enjoy.

My #1 favorite is still Twilight Sucks! Emo Vampire Song



This weekend I heard about the Telephone Parody and I gotta say I like it.



And to round this quick blog off here is the Adam Lambert Parody:



enjoy.

File Under: That was more than I thought it would be....

While tonight marks the day to wear green for most everyone (I'm wearing purple, so there - but my scarf has some green in it), drink green beer, etc.... I'm doing something so opposite of green beer and food. Instead I going out for Tapas with some friends to celebrate their accomplishment of passing an exam we studied for together at the end of 2009.

While I studied hard with them, I chose to take the more *senior* version of the HR exam - hence the title of this blog - and didn't pass it. I am however, determined to persevere and I'm back in a longer class (12 weeks) over the cram it all in at once 4 day-8 hours per day class I took in October. I'm also utilizing an awesome - incredibly knowledgeable resource: my friend Dawn.

Dawn is helping me study in a more grad-student kind of way - definitely a new to me way to study. Mind you, I completed college in 1992 so it's been some time to wrap my mind around actually studying... workshops and seminars don't really count as those are more experiential and don't involve a 4 hour test at the end of the daylong or few hour seminar.

So tonight I'll be raising a class of sangria to my friends success and the expectation of my own success this spring when I take the senior level test again and hopefully! pass.
