So, hopefully everyone got the invite I sent for the bday festivities using anyvite.com (if you didn't, let me know and I'll resend). Heard about it via one of Laura's friends and having messed around with it, I think it's better than evite by a large margin.
It's got a sweet new ajax'd interface, account creation is super quick, and there aren't the annoying ads / hoops that you have to jump through to use it (unlike evite). It's clearly still in beta so there's little things that they're working on (like better privacy controls), but I think the overall package is worth dealing with the little issues.
Oh, when you add the location, it will add the google maps link automatically and when you click on the link, it'll dynamically place it on the main page. It also has options for adding the event directly to your google calendar via openauth.
It facilitates migration from evite as well with some pretty nifty tools for bringing over guest lists. Also, it has super cute icons!
So, I hope we all switch from evite. woot.
Ok, going to try to get back on the blogging bandwagon. Might just use my own blog instead of vox. Not sure yet.
Been a busy weekend and it's only been friday. Went to dinner at Bar Pilar with Laura and Jenn, then met xyt and Matt Thomas at DC9. Tonight, there's a bday party and show at 930 club. Then tomorrow, I'm getting dragged to root for the eagles with a bunch of friends from philly.
woot
i don't know what my problem is. lately the only thing i've been really
excited about doing is baking. so i'm going to regale you with my
exploits since nothing, seriously nothing, exciting is going on. well i
am taking an art class, but i'm not really feeling scanning/uploading
all my art. so you get cupcakes and cookies and maybe if i get really
adventurous cake. so today i decided to try a new recipe from my favorite cookbook ever vegan cupcakes take over the world by isa chandra moskowitz and terry hope romero. even if you aren't vegan you should check it out since there are probably some of the best cupcake recipies EVAR in it. today's creation is the s'mores cupcake. i decided that piping my vegan buttercream frosting would be too much work so i just spread it and then topped it with graham cracker crumbles and chocolate sprinkles. turned out to be a good thing because the frosting is super sweet. so. here they are:
For me, the word pineapple always makes me think of quake as that was a term associated with grenades. In pineapple express, it refers to weed.
Anyway, thanks to becca for the preview. As my twit said, the first two hires were hilarious while I found the last act lacking. I think it just felt like they ran out of jokes and decided to shoehorn an action sequence onto the movie to wrap things up.
I did super appreciate the little touches and object placement. Two that stood out were the footprints poster in James Franco's place and the bartles & james bottles in red's bathroom.
Sigh, I was trying to post this from my iphone, but I can't figure out how to scroll a textbox up/down. Meh.
Anyway, it's worth seeing for the buddy/weed jokes.

so the volume button on my iPhone sticks. Went to the apple store in fair oaks and they ordered a replacement. So that'll be coming Monday or Tuesday. Need to deal with backing up my contacts in yahoo I think. Also all the downloadable apps don't start and power cycling doesn't seem to fix it. Deleting and re-installing seems to work however. Yay gadgets. I still want to make put with my phone.

It's a sad day. I canceled my world of warcraft accounts today.
Ok, going to take another stab at keeping this updated. Although it looks like most people have abandoned it.
