More From Blog World

City of Light?

A Blogworld vendor asks the question for which I have no answer

I am going to finish my “discussion” of Vegas and Blog World tonight.  I ended up publishing last night and realizing I had forgotten a few photos which led to another post tonight.  I am done though.  I promise!  I’ll be back to catching up a bit with Justin.tv and cooking another great meal live!

Vegas is billed as The City of Light. Perhaps not so much in the daytime. I had been to Vegas two times in the past and had stayed in hotels on the strip both times. This time using points I stayed at the Westin Hotel which is just off the strip. Next to the exit is an empty lot. It looks like it’s been empty for a while.

Another Photo Post

Heaven on a Plate

I’m beginning to think this might be a good title for a bakery company or a restaurant. And really, I’m not exaggerating, this dinner and the chocolate cheesecake were heavenly! It was another quiet night on Justin.tv and Justopia.com, but we had a great dinner anyway.

Mediterranean Potato, Tomato and Egg Salad

I first had this salad when I lived in the Philippines. We found an Italian restaurant the while scary to sit in with cockroaches roaming the food and tables, was acceptable for lunch. I always ordered the meatball sub and this salad. It was a great combo and I learned to either swat the roaches away or to ignore them, because in a tropical climate in the developing world, they are just part of the scenery.

Living the Justopian Life

Broken Theme

I popped into WordPress after work to look around and see what was going on and noticed that my blog appears to be broken. I am not sure if it’s the theme or some other reason, but I did not plan to publish anything tonight. I thought I’d try a short blurb to see if that may help to fix what is broken. If not, I am going to need to find a WordPress theme I like as much as the current one and hope that a change fixes things.

No photos, no words, a day off in the life of a Justopian.

How Birthdays Are Celebrated in Justopia

You’ve Got to Have Friends — whether 2d or 3d

I received a hand crafted butter board and knife from JulieJulieJulie!

I received a call from a friend that I haven’t seen in a year … well, maybe over a year. She was calling to invite me to dinner for my birthday with another friend of ours. I was so nice to hear from her and I was looking forward to the opportunity to catch up with them.

What a Story and a Justopia.com Scheduling Note

Chowda633

I was tooling around looking for something interesting to read and realized it was Friday morning so there would possibly be a new post to the JTV blog. I didn’t see anything about new features, but the post Tia made about the home robbery of a JTV viewer/broadcaster being caught on his channel while he was out of the house caught my attention.

More of the Same

Uncle!

I don’t know about you, but I am just a wee bit over the tech troubles at JTV. When I attempted to get in today I was met with these types of error messages. At other times, when I was successful at getting in, it was only after an excruciatingly long time to get in.

Technology Woes — Again!

Twitter, WordPress, Justin.tv.  What do they all have in common?  They don’t work well 100% of the time.  This has been a particularly bad week for all of them and I am fit to be tied tonight.  I am going to give up with the post.  I uploaded beautiful shots of a most DEElicious meal, but it’s impossible to get the shots posted to WordPress, so rather than bore you all with nothing more than words, I am going to call it a night and attempt to get the shots up to WordPress tomorrow and a blog post published.

I won’t be broadcasting tomorrow night, but look for a blog post at about the same time as usual … sometime after midnight.

Cheers!

A Trip Down B2B Lane and iJustine Poses a Question

B2B?

B2B is Bay to Breakers. A year ago we accompanied Justin to this event in San Francisco. It’s a race, although last year I could have sworn B2B stood for Beer to Beer. It seemed as though all along the path, there was beer to be had. I understand from some JTV folks taking part in this year’s event that drinking is discouraged this year. But, not to worry, Patrick of Lifedoc tells us he will be wheeling a little red wagon with beer on his way to the finish line.

A Leap to Leopard That Didn’t Happen, and An Eye-Opener

Crazy Cats

I guess the pasta was hot enough — can you see the steam coming off of it to the left?

I was excited at the prospect of upgrading from Tiger to Leopard on my not-so-pretty-anymore MacBook. I headed for the Apple store ready to make the leap. I had considered giving up the Mac way of life and purchasing a Windows machine, but if I’ve learned one thing during the past year-plus hanging around JTV and meeting people that are far more experienced and knowledgeable about computers and purchasing them than I am, it’s not to make an impulse buy on something like a computer. I hope that I don’t just drop into a store and purchase a new machine on a whim again. I also know that I should not be making that kind of a purchase right now . It would be an emotional purchase and I’ve done enough of that over the past dozen or so years to know it was time to stop. Oh yeah, and circumstances have played a big role in stopping that behavior too. 😉

A Change of Venue and Justin Followed Me to Seattle

Go West Not-So -Young Woman

Well, I made it. I arrived safely in Seattle this afternoon to a beautiful May afternoon. I took a familiar route, one that I took countless times when I was living in the Philippines. Part of me wished I was making the full trip, and part of me, the part that was my legs dangling down without a comfortable leg rest to prop them on was very happy the trip was a whole lot less than 8 hours to get to my destination.

Time Off

No Post

I’ll be back on Monday night.  In the meantime, check out the photos I’ve posted on Flickr of our Passover eating extravaganza tonight

Another Day

I was going to write about this awesome JTV-related dream I had last night, post some dinner photos and call it a night, but I got sucked into ECV and eventually into KrystylTV and before I knew it the time was just after 2am.  I was exhausted 10 hours ago and it’s difficult to believe I am still here, without a good post to publish.

The hooplah on ECV and Krystyl’s channels tonight was about the Designergirl story so I scratched the dream post and waited … waited … waited for news but at 2:12am, I have decided to give up the ghost.

If there is anything to learn I am sure it can be done tomorrow.  Besides that, I’m pretty sure the dream is going to be far more fun to write about — when I have a clear and awake head.

Finding My Bearings on the New WordPress and a Saturday Night Post

Kyle TV

I was wrapping up the blog post when I received a JTV invite from Kyle of JTV. Kyle is a JTV founder that we’ve seen around the apartment and the office for a year, but who never really caused a stir, so he didn’t make it to the blog other than a mention a few times, and always noted in a positive light.

Who Let the Curls Out?!

Who is That Woman?
Just a brief upload for my justopia.com fans! 🙂

We were talking about my scheduled “Day of Beauty” at the hair salon tomorrow and a new regular to Justopia.com, NewYorkState asked if I would mind some hair tips from a professional in the biz. I of course responded that I would love suggestions and said that I have über curly hair and that I only let it out once since I’ve been broadcasting because the consensus was that it was not so attractive, but that I have an old shot of me with curly hair on the hard drive and that I’d post it here for the room to look at.
