I'm going to go to bed early tonight. Today was emotionally all over the place and I am exhausted. But I wanted to say that I'm on Twitter now. I have two accounts. One is Zenchantress and one is Moneymagnet. So if you Twitter add me so we can take over the world. Follow, follow,follow, follow,
Follow the twitterbrick road.
Just for fun.

Today I got some cable ties for corset boning after reading an article comparing all the possibilities. It's cheap, easily available and doesn't rust or rot if it gets wet. I need to make a new pirate shirt too, and my big dream is to make a cutaway jacket. I need to beg, borrow or steal a decent pair of pirate boots though. The boots really do make the outfit.
]]>And so far so good so maybe I will make some more. They crack me up.
First of all I have to say this page has some pretty darn funny cat photos on it. I found it using Stumbleupon: http://www.siliconhell.com/madcat/cathumour/aw1.htm
Tonight I finished a crocheted hat I started yesterday. I'm glad it's too small for me because I need some smaller hats for my Etsy store and I just can't seem to make them smaller than what I wear. This hat has little bobbles (puffs) on top to add interest. As usual, every hat I make is one-of-a-kind. That's because I'm an artist, not a factory. It's a chipper orange and blue in acrylic yarn. Toss in washer and dryer, squash in suitcase for travel...easy peasy.

I joined a collective of blogging artists where we are supposed to create a new thing each and every day and post about it. The blog is here: http://createaday.blogspot.com/ So far I've posted something every day since I started on Jan.1, 2008.
I got a fun New Year's Day surprise. One of the bills I entered into the Where's George bill tracking site six years ago just showed up in Florida! And I'm in CA so that is not only quite a long way but quite a length of time. Here are all the stats if you are curious:

Wheresgeorge.com is free to join and a lot of fun.
]]>Where is the farthest you have ever been away from home? Did you get homesick?
Submitted by Melissa.
Once I drove from California to the East coast by myself. I didn't really get homesick. The only reason I went back to CA was because I was broke and I had a gig there. When I got to the gig, it has fallen through. Otherwise maybe I never would have come back to California.
]]>After the last time my myspace was hacked into I shut down that account and swore I'd never go there again. But then so many ETSY sellers use it and put their Etsy mini on it to advertise, so I felt like I was really missing out. So I made a brand new account, spent a week getting it to look just right, and yesterday when I logged into it, I got a blurb from MYSPACE saying my account was blocked because the password had been phished. Not again! Soooooooo, the blurb said to change my password and hit unblock and I'd be good to go. Well, I didn't trust that so I logged in the old fashioned way, changed the password and found it still blocked, so I figured I better do it their way. Long story short, the second I unblocked my main page on myspace, a popup covered it so I could not access it. It was a microsoft window saying it had found a trojan that it could neither clean nor remove. And since my computer can't get online, I was using my boyfriend's so now his computer has this lovely trojan virus that keeps trying to download new trash into his computer. So he's furious with me and I can't use his computer anymore. So yesterday I went to the library, waited an hour for computer time, and signed up for Earthlink Wi-fi for my own computer. It will take me a week to get the WI-Fi modem. I was online with their techs for the entire morning trying to get the free Earthlink dial-up to work and my computer is too fubar to run the dial-up. So I'm at a different library where there is no wait and I get an hour of computer time. Looks like I'm going to be at the library every day until my modem gets here, and even then I have no guarantee it will work. Soooo, I tried to pick up the wi-fi signal yesterday and this morning and it shows up sometimes, but is too weak to connect to it.
My boyfriend has no clue that I can't run internet businesses without being on the internet. So he doesn't even get how this is such a huge issue for me. For me no internet equals no income. This is all so frustrating. And why can't Myspace police their own website? I don't have these problems on other blogs.
