ANNA

There's a handful of things I want to discuss tonight: Anna Nicole Smith, my headache, text messages, and Fall Out Boy. Welcome to my blog.

ANNA

As tragic as it is, I hope Anna Nicole Smith's death will teach everyone a lesson that garbage weight loss pills are not a good idea. I don't care what anyone says, TrimSpa is going to be paying a pretty penny to keep this one quiet.

I found this quote and couldn't help but share. This is from Anna Nicole's interview with CBS regarding her weight loss while on TrimSpa.

“That really shrinks your stomach. It really shrinks until you can’t eat much and you’re not hungry. So, I’ve had to taper off the pills. I take like two a day now. I don’t take six a day anymore. It’s really hard to eat, because, for me, it’s like I’ve lost my appetite. So I have to really, really push myself to eat.”

Oh that's awesome. I'm done with this subject. Enough said.


TEXTING HEADACHE

Today while napping to rid myself of a migraine.. I tried to remember the last time a minute had gone by that I didn't receive a text message. The constant sound/vibration of getting text messages today drove me to the point of ripping the battery out of my Treo so I could nap in peace.

Sitting here now thinking of how angry I was about not being able to just 100% shut my phone off, is pretty funny. I suppose my reaction was appropriate though.

Back to my entire life revolving around texting. I do love it, so let's not get the wrong idea here.

It's funny how spell check thinks texting is spelled wrong. Stop that!


FALL OUT BOY

Tonight Desiree and I were watching Jimmy Kimmel Live. We discussed how much she doesn't like Fall Out Boy and I tried to convince her that I like them. I've tried pretty hard in the past to not be a fan, but they just have some catchy beats that I can't help enjoying.

Well, that was before I saw their live performance tonight. The crowd was going crazy. Cheering, chanting and singing the lyrics to one of the worst live shows I have ever seen televised. It seemed as thought they were saying:

"Look how terrible our new songs are and look at you fools eating it up and buying our CD" Love, Fall Out Boy

Thanks guy. I look forward to hearing your CD that I illegally download.

I mean, what.. just kidding. I buy all of my music from the wonderfully amazing iTunes Music Store.

INTERNET ADDICT

HELP!

Blogging and the internet has officially taken over my life. I try to mirror posts on all of the various other websites I'm a member of, but it definitely has taken more time than I'd like to dedicate to such things.

So, how do you spend less time blogging but still manage to post to all of your favorite online communities? Hmm, as soon as I figure out the best method, I'll let you know. This has been dubbed: Project Blog.Snack

The first for the GROOVR video series is complete. Take a look at it here:

Also great news, Desiree has finally purchased her first domain. Sometimes I wonder how we've managed to be friends for the past 4 years and she's yet to purchase one.

Look like another day without the Macworld photos. Maybe tomorrow!

GROOVR.MOV



Today we shot a quick video for Groovr.  The idea for this is an extremely mini-series/promo set of videos that will involve a handful other people in Pittsburgh.  Whatever you do, I want to film it and incorporate it into this set.  Videos will be from 30 seconds to a minute and a half depending upon what you'll be doing.

If you've been living under a rock or never read a blog entry of mine about Groovr, it's a new text-message-based networking site that allows you to "check-in" to locations that is then published online.  After that, your friends will be able to see what you're doing via the web or text message update.  Check it out for yourself:  http://www.groovr.com



Look for that video tomorrow as well as photos from Macworld (finally).

LEAVING

I'm going to NY to ski (aka, hang out because I can't ski and there isnt any snow) until Sunday! The bad news is, I forgot my Macbook powercord. Seriously. I'm crying right now.

Anyways, I will be mobile blogging via Vox : http://ijustine.vox.com

I'll also be attempting to update at Tasty Blog Snack as well, but seeing as how I just reset that up, I haven't checked to see if my mobile settings are correct.

Last but not least, if you're on Groovr I'll also be updating there the most! If you're not on Groovr, then what are you waiting for?

GROOVY GROOVERTIN



I'm going to be creating several promo videos for this new text message based Myspace kinda site. It's called Groovr.

Basically, you can "check in" to different locations via your phone and it will be updated on the website. Your friends can also see where you're at, check out the photos posted in that location, and join you there by doing the same!

Anyways, just go here, sign up, and take the tour to see how it works.

After that, I'm looking for people in Pittsburgh that have some sort of unique talent or job that I could film you "checking in" using the website. For example, a band member "checking in" on stage, resturant cook/host/hostess, student, etc. Anything! What do you do that might be interesting?

Let me know! Sign up here! If you have any questions, just ask me.

I'll have an example promo video up shortly of my version in the next week to show you what I'm looking for.
