Tomorrow

Whoa! I started writing this on Tuesday evening. It’s officially Wednesday morning. Geez. Where does the time go? What did I actually get accomplished between the time I started this and the time I finished? Hmm. Damn Friends reruns draw my attention.

Woke up kind of late this morning because the sun didn’t come out. Weird. At 7:21am, I glanced at the clock with half open eyes. I figured it couldn’t be too late because the sun hadn’t even come out fully yet. Awesome. Once the time registered in my brain, I jumped out of bed and jumped in the shower. I really dislike rushing. There’s a much better outcome to me when I don’t rush through getting ready.

The rain clouds lingered all day, and the chill in the air was welcomed with a sweatshirt and a craving for hot chocolate. After a long 10hr day, I satisfied that craving.

There wasn’t another mug in the entire house, so I had to use my M&M guy. S’okay. It was super yummy and yes, I do have a burnt tongue. :-P

Was at the gas station the other day and saw the Google Maps car. THAT was interesting.

I’ve seen it driving around town, and that big camera on top is fascinating to me. I wish I had the courage to stop and talk to that lady. I would love to climb up on that little ladder she had and see that camera up close. 360* of awesomeness.

I wonder if this itty bitty dog ever wishes to be bigger…

Went to the GI doctor the other day. I did not like what I had to hear, but I suppose I’m in no position to argue. However, fighting for the outcome I want is something I’m willing to do.

See you for my procedure, Doc.  :-/

Google+

google_plus_logoWhat is this about?

Is this supposed to be the new Facebook? If so, I’m so very confused. I don’t remember having this much trouble trying to learn Facebook, or even MySpace. They both seemed easily adaptable at the time. This seems to have a little different edge, so not quite the same ease of adaptability can be expected.

I don’t get the “Circles”. I think the idea of it is so that you only share information you post on your wall with certain “circles” of people (i.e. friends, family, coworkers), but it’s an extra step I find annoying. If I’m going to throw up a status message or a picture real quick, the last thing I want to do is scroll through a bunch of names and have to pick the one I want. If I’m not in a hurry, no big deal. I guess.

And, I only have three friends right now. And they don’t even hardly write on there. So it’s not like I have a heavy traffic flow right now to watch. No practice means I don’t learn the program.

And I don’t have an App for it. Neither my iThingy or my Droid has an App. This makes it not so easy to watch. I can’t sit with a webpage open all day (okay, okay. I can. But that’s not the point.) If it’s going to succeed, it needs a little bit more.

All that being said, I truly believe that Google will get their s**t together and make an amazing thing out of this. Google will take over the world one day. I’d like to go tell Zuckerberg to suck it, but he’s provided me with countless laughs and endless memories, so I just can’t do it.

If anyone knows any secrets about Google+ they’d like to share, I welcome them. Or even just some simple “how to” basics they’d like to provide me with, I’d gladly listen. I just don’t seem to get it. I hope I’m not alone.

P.S. Go Kyle Busch!
