on the cutting wedge

so what about that mom who called 911 saying that she & her daughter had been kidnapped & stuffed in a car trunk, and it turned out she'd stolen the driver's license of a friend and absconded to disney world? what about that?

whenever i think about simplifying my wardrobe, i continually focus on this one piece - a particular skirt. it's like the skirt of mental blockatude. it's like i don't have a billion other pieces of useless clothing. it's like if i could part with that skirt, it would free up a plethora of closet space and simultaneously update my wardrobe to cutting edge coolness. but then, the truth is that i am so cool that if i were to push myself to a cuttinger edge, i'd probably disappear in a blaze of cooliosity.

i downloaded some cool software today - microsoft photo story. with it, you can create a simple slide show from a set of photos and you can choose music to play with the slides. to use the music - you have to have it on your hard drive, and you have to have the permissions set to allow you to share it, and it has to be microsoft format, not itunes. but, it's easy - you just choose the photos and the software walks you through putting them in order, and then you choose the music, and then the software puts it all together into a slide show. easy peasy lemon squeezy! and free! and apparently around since like 2005. yeah, that's me - right there on the cutting edge. heh.
