random to end the day

april commented on omor ... saying she was looking for the "like" button and then realized she wasn't on facebook. for those of you who aren't facebookers: any time someone changes their status, shares a video, posts a photo, rambles on your wall, etc ... there are two options. you can comment on it or you can like it. the like button is useful for giving something a thumbs up (literally) without having to use any actual words. because frankly, sometimes you just like something ... and there's no need to expound. i, too, am a big fan of the like button. in fact, i was driving to work last week and i saw a neighbor had added some tasteful halloween decorations to his yard. the first thing that went through my head? man, i wish there was a like button in real life! it made me start visualizing an ad campaign or a series of photographs with a large like icon (a thumbs up, literally) being carried around. maybe i should take that series of photos myself ...

i had every intention of going to bed early tonight. it's not exactly late, yet, but it's later than i planned. i popped a movie in and then decided i'd rather play guitar hero. i started my solo career and played four shows. pretty much i rock. i mean, the video game says so after every song. and i totally customized my rocker & her sweet guitar.

my computer was in "observed mode" at work this afternoon. that means someone was remotely accessing my machine. possibly upgrading a program, possibly just watching what i was doing. there's a little icon that show up at the top of my screen when it's in observed mode. it didn't really bother me ... but the feeling of being watched followed me home. my newspaper was directly in front of the front door - how did i miss that when i left this morning? and the front door seemed to open just a little too easily - was it really locked? to top it off, the light in the bathroom that burned out this weekend? it's working again. add to that the fact that i was so amazed by the magical light that i didn't hear my phone ring. everything was just a little off.

i should be thinking about tomorrow's topic of "frenemies" - but i'm having trouble wrapping my head around it. perhaps i'll post about having trouble wrapping my head around it. i think i'm most looking forward to how patti will artfully blog about it.
