Thank Fi for Memes

May 21, 2009 by

I’ve been remiss, mostly as it’s nearing semester’s end and there are assignments to be done.  There is also work to be done for As Scene that is keeping me wonderfully busy.  So when the chance of a meme comes up, I’ll take it…

Stocktake Thursday

Five Things I’m liking right now

  1. Criminal Minds on DVD, loving it so much actually left the house today to go buy Season 3 so that when I finish season 2 which I’m nearing the end of now I can launch straight into the next.
  2. Working from home.  I’ve said for ages that I don’t really see myself as a business woman and thought that As Scene was really just going to keep me going through uni, but now that there’s work coming through and it’s going well I’m really loving it.  And seriously, working from home with Criminal Minds in the background beats going to the office where I have to sit wearing noise cancelling headphones…
  3. The fact that my littler sister is cooking me up another niece or nephew… Due late in November.  Saving every penny so I can get over and meet the little ‘un.
  4. I’m really liking the studying thing.  Really liking it.  Learning heaps, meeting great people and loving having my brain extended!
  5. Princess Lulubelle.  She is an entertaining little minx and appears to be loving having me home much more.  She does tend to be a bit chatty, and as with all Orientals the noise can be a bit of a nuisance but she’s so interactive, loving a good play and a cuddle so it makes being home not lonely at all.  She’s also pretty naughty as is demonstrated by the picture below… and that has its amusement factor…

Five Things I’m not Liking so Much

  1. I’m really not liking church at the moment.  I’m cooking up a post about that but it’s unlikely that it will see the light of day.  I have been spending time at a different church because it isn’t my faith that’s troubled, just the expression of it.  I’m kind of a dual citizen of both churches but don’t really feel settled in either.
  2. Housekeeping.  I’m generally not slovenly but for some reason I’m really fed up with keeping house… I even went so far as to check out benchtop dishwashers on ebay so I could actually do away with the business of doing dishes, but I didn’t buy one… (yet…)
  3. The wet weather.  I don’t mind cooling temps and having a cosy home and lovely hot soup and crusty rolls (dinner tonight…) but rain, Do.Not.Love.
  4. The absence of Tequila in my house.  I’m sure it’s doing me good, and I’m well covered for alcohol in the cupboards due to the gift of a carton of beer (as in 24 stubbies), but sometimes tequila is the answer and I haven’t had any for AGES!
  5. Holes in my shoes… need to replace the Reeboks.

Feel free to give me your Thursday Stocktake and link to it in the comments!!

Riley’s New Puppy.

May 8, 2009 by

I need to point out first off that I didn’t take these photos.  Jill Johnson did, of her niece Riley’s birthday surprise.  They featured on the Flickr Blog.

For some reason they bought a tear to my eye.  Such powerful emotion captured absolutely beautifully.  Nice one Jill and congratulations Riley on such an adorable new family member!! I’m sure you’ll both be really happy together!!

Loose Translation

March 20, 2009 by

So, I’ve been copping some grief for the nature of my status updates on Facebook (email me for deets if you want to add me).
Translations have been required more than once so I thought it politic
to post a glossary of symbols and TLAs* you may notice in my Status
Updates (or in the twitter column to your right)… oh, and while we’re on the subject my status updates are fed
directly from twitter. So most of the quizzical looks I get are because
some twitterism or other has crept in…

Twitterisms – http://www.twitter.com

For the record twitter is the current buzz in social networking.
basically a site built on people’s short status update like messages
colloquially known as tweets.

Tweet – a twitter message
Tweeps – your twitter friends contraction of twitter peeps.
Twitterverse – the Twitter universe
Tweeple – twitter people less personal than tweeps.
Twit – singular twitter user
Twas – former twitter user (i made this one up, but I like it the best)

Twitter lingo in the context of tweets (and by extension fb status updates) may come out looking like this…
@weirdname. In twitter the @ symbol is universally used to reply, and
thereby create a link back to the person you’re mentioning.
#followfriday or any other #thing. the hash tags the tweet so it’s
searchable and other people can follow along. It also links back to a
search page of other #hashtags
RT is to ‘re-tweet’ it’s a copy of someone’s tweet and an effort to
spread the word via your own network and hopefully the networks of your
followers

Some of the geek speak universally recognized in the circles I move in in the www may also creep into my status updates.

FTW – For the Win. Expression of joy, happiness or general all round good cheer and glee.
WTF – What the #@%% – well, you get the idea, basically the opposite of the above.
O_o – expression of confusion, weirded out etc.
OMG – Oh.My.Goodness ;)
WTH – What the Heck
BTW – By The Way

Full of Win – great, awesome, fabulous,
Fail – well, kind of speaks for itself but has become a noun as well as a verb.
Epic Fail – Proportionately huge fail.
Great Big Bucket of Fail – instant death, basically.
Fail Whale – is a twitter thing actually, speaks of the image that appears when twitter is down http://images.google.com/images?hl=EN&q=fail+whale&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2 has also become a noun in many geek circles.

I’ll add to these if I find other translations required, or you could contribute below if you feel so inclined!!
