It's a Group Thing LII

Even though I forgot to do this on Wednesday, I still wanted to post a "It's a Group Thing" term is this week. Since BlogShares is the hot topic this week (you can buy Neurotic Fishbowl stock here), I thought it only appropriate to tip my hat to such a fun site. Therefore, today's term is:

A Commission of Brokers

For those of you who missed what this is all about, each week I will feature a term for groups of things from An Exaltation of Larks: The Ultimate Edition by James Lipton. I found the book really interesting and wanted to share it with everyone.

Plugins Used

I thought it might be cool to have a list of the MT plugins that I use here so if anyone wants to duplicate some functionality, they can. I found most of them through the indispensable MT Plugin Directory.

You can view the ones used on this site here.

Vegas, Baby!

Steven and I have made our plans for our annual Vegas trip and I'm, of course, really excited. We're staying at The Bellagio, our favorite hotel. If you've never been to Vegas, Bellagio (which means "beautiful lake" in Italian) is the hotel with the dancing fountains in front. You can watch a couple of shows here, including one of my favorites, "Singin' in the Rain."

We also bought tickets to the Blue Man Group show at The Luxor. They ought to be really great to watch and we're both really looking forward to that.

I figured a trip to Vegas was the perfect excuse to buy some nail polish from OPI's new Las Vegas Collection, so I picked up Cha-Ching Cherry, A Rose at Dawn... Broke by Noon, and Down to My Last Penny. I'll take any excuse to buy make-up.

The only snag with the vacation is that now we have Bella. We've never had a pet that we had to worry about kenneling or anything before, so I need to check around here and see if I can find some recommendations about where to leave her. Anyone in Houston know of any good places on the northwest side?

Take That, Bloggies!

Unbeknownst to me, I was up for and have now won an Anti-Bloggie! I won for Worst Meme Bandwagoner and while I'm not sure what that means exactly (I'm a lemming and do any meme that wanders into my field of vision, maybe?), I am still so proud.

Congrats also go out to Christine (Biggest A-List Suck-Up; it's so true!), Eka (Chronic Redesignitus), Chey (Best Use of Blog For Personal Benefit), Rannie (Most Often Late to Work), and Michelle (Biggest Whiner After Being De-Linked). I'm definitely in good company.

Sell! Buy! Sell! Buy!

I finally got around to buying all my stocks this weekend over at BlogShares, and now I'm number 29 on the top 100 list. I'm sure it will change, but go buy some Neurotic Fishbowl stock and make me richer.

Dell Hell

Dear Dell Tech Support,

The reason I bought an extended warranty on my computer is because I don't want to have to open it up and fuck around with things inside. I was more than patient trying cable connections a few times, but after a while, it's ridiculous.

The CD-RW does not even have a light coming on. The drive is obviously bad as we determined when you had me move the power supply and ribbon cables about five times. When you start wanting me to move pins around (whatever the hell those are), that's when I draw the line. Send somebody the fuck out here to fix my computer. I hate mucking around in the box and please explain to me why it's a good idea to have customers fucking around in there anyway.

I have a pretty good idea what I'm doing, but I would assume that most people would be uncomfortable with messing around in there; I know I am. Having me unplug and plug things in four or five times is obviously not going to fix something. If I had wanted to be a technician, I would have choosen that field. Instead I want you to come fix it for me. Thanks for finally understanding that an hour into our experience together.

I do think I will be sending a nasty letter to you, especially since the guy who I spent the most time with on the phone thought I was talking about an added DVD drive, though I must have said a million times that these drives came with it when I bought it.

To sum up, I don't mind doing troubleshooting with you, but when it comes to a hardware problem that can't be fixed without opening the box, that means send out a technican.

Sincerely,

Kymberlie the girl with the headache after fucking around with you all afternoon
