Finally.

So we arrived last night at about 6pm Vegas time, and what a city. I’ve been here once before, but I have this sinking feeling that it will never get old.

Wireless internet doesn’t work here in the rooms, but I heard rumors that the Press room and the convention hall both have open access, so we shall see.

I will be getting photographs up here shortly, once I get my camera charger… I left it in Bangor, and my roommates had to over-night it to Vegas for me. It should be in the Business Center right now. The battery lasted just long enough to finish off the Habitat for Humanity thing this afternoon, and now it is stone-cold dead. So if the charger didn’t come in, I’ll be joining it soon enough… :-(

So, once the camera is charged I will get some photos up for the lot of you to google at. Until then…

And we’re off.

Actually, physically, heading out the door as I write this.

The next time you hear from me I will be in VEGAS BABY!

WOOT!

Getting ready… Already sick of it all.

So I am finishing up packing… Heading to Vegas momentarily, but I need to vent real quick, you know, assuming I’m not being censored or anything…

Really, as excited as I am to be going to Vegas over this next week and shooting Miss America, and as much fun as I know I am going to have (well, pretty sure at least), I’m just about ready for it to be over already… I mean really, just how excited can one be to spend the week with chaps that wholly feel that:

“So stay tuned, if you know whats good for you. In the same fashion as last year, I will be posting nearly every step of the way, so expect something up at around 6pm tomorrow evening…”

(offending material)

needs be censored? Thats not my kind of crowd… Sorry…

I know, I know. Its a stupid little thing, but I assure you, its just the beginning. There’s going to be a whole SLEW of nitpicky things that one unnamed soul with stop at no ends to point out and command be rectified.

I honestly believe that, in todays society, all of this uptightedness is just one big misunderstanding. I can’t imagine that people honestly are as anal retentive as they think everybody else thinks they ought to be and are because of it. I mean, how can a person function like that?

Whatever, I’m going, and I am going to have a great time of it, and thats that. I’ll be blogging about it both here, and at the Miss Maine website. Also, photos will be up at some point, but I shall not disclose their location… yet. Check back later for such juicy details.

Peace!

AH-HA! I won!

So, one bit of fallout of getting the new MacBook Pro is that I am actually organizing my life a bit with iCal. I did this back at Susquehanna University, and it seemed to help, so I am trying it. I don’t suppose you could call this a bad thing in and of its self, but I (and your going to get lost here) just got this new plug-in for Apple Aperture, and the author’s site got me back into thinking about customizing my blog a bit.

Confused yet?

So I set out to set up Event Calendar 3 (a plug-in for WordPress), and that is where the trouble began.

Long story short, Event Calendar 3 and K2 (the template I am using) do not get along, and practically destroyed my WordPress install. But I prevailed, and with a little wizardry, I got thing working again.

This is all, goodnight.

Long time, no… well… anything.

So, its been a while.

It seams like only yesterday I was setting up my newest blog (this one) and writing away. Posting about this and that to an audience that I wasn’t even sure was out there. Then I hit a road bump, got caught up in the end of the semester shenanigans, and next thing I know… POOF! Happy New Year! Then I just put the whole blog thing on the back burner with the full intent to catch up once I got back to school.

Problem is (and this is a whole story in its self) we don’t have internet at the apartment yet, and I have been having computer “issues” using the school wireless network… But its all back together now, and I thought I would check in.
