The Little Burlesque Mermaid

I wish I knew how to make Youtube video in this blog format larger. You know fill the width of the page instead of being confined to this sad little box. For those wondering this video is a sexy, taste full, burlesque, retelling of the Original Little Mermaid.

On an unrelated side-note it was 65 degrees yesterday. 65! It's still only just March! Normally we are only just starting to defrost our windows. I took advantage of this warm weather to completely clean out my car and vacuum the whole thing. It seemed to take forever but untimely was worth it, I feel like I'm driving a new care again.

Yesterday something else big also happened. I took a chance, a big one in my current situation. I purchased the Mary Kay starter kit and will start training to become an independent Mary Kay beauty consultant. I will start selling ASAP and will keep this blog up to date about all my going ons and what not.

Oh and I finally figured out how I am going to redesign my resume to submit to Porter One Design. I really want to be one of the interns, I didn't make it last quarter (I had a lot to learn) and am hoping to make their interview list again. One thing though is I do not want to send them the same exact hi I'm trying to get this same positions with the same portfolio and resume as last time. So I'm trying to come up with a slight redesign while staying original to myself. I NEED a graphic design internship to graduate and I want to get one for this upcoming quarter and I WANT to do it at Porter One Design.

Speaking of quarters this one will be over after next week (YAY), however I will not get to enjoy my week off as I will be lucky enough to have all four wisdom teeth pulled at the same time the monday after it ends. Though lucky it's after a large scheduled event with friends, and after celebrating my Uncle's birthday.www.marykay.com

Twitter?

I was reading 'How To Get More Mileage Out of Twitter by Repurposing Content' which once more got me to thinking about Twitter and all that it is (or isn't). Can someone please explain to me what exactly the point of twitter is? I really don't understand for the life of me how it all works. It's just like a facebook update except super short and the way to respond to people is confusing and the feed makes no sense, how are you supposed to see when people respond to you? I DON'T GET IT! Seriously it makes no sense what so ever and it seems like the only things that are posted there are either celebrities talking about they're silly lives, companies promoting their next sale or big thing, or people talking about their cats and going to the restroom. The article has some great idea's which I'll probably take into effect someday if I ever actually figure out this whole Twitter thing.

Powerless Day

Well my computer is probably going to die at any moment due to power cord issues I now have no way to charge it. Still, this will certainly help encourage me to finish cleaning the bathroom and maybe even tackle the closest I've been meaning to deal with sense the season change. For now though I shall simply leave you with some links and thoughts I've been having.
