I am taking a bit of time to consider what the future of Intrinsic-Pixel will be. For a long time I have been mulling over the content and trying to fight myself to find an efficient way to keep it updated along with everything else. I know I need a portfolio of sorts and not sure if my personal blog is the best place to put it. As time has gone by I think I’ve gotten better at focusing on all the little things to do in day.

I seriously want to change the design here, and would like to keep my work and personal life a bit separate. So after much thought I think Intrinsic-Pixel will become my portfolio/work domain. Having recently acquired Thoughtcramps.com (my little sister exited blogging) I will be moving my personal stuff over there.

Now I’m just sort of waiting for WordPress 2.5 to pop into the picture. I have been keeping an eye on the bleeding edge and have decided it will be worth the try. I support them in their changes and am willing to give the new admin a try to see how I like it. Not only that, with all the mixed emotions in the community about the new look I think it’s more helpful to try it and then offer feed back. Complaining is so counter productive. Besides if you don’t like it, and you have a better idea; do it yourself!

I have some projects I’m working on. I’ve never been one that is comfortable talking about them openly on my blog. So I’ll keep them under my hat for now. I can say I have three WordPress themes that I have put together. They were intended for use by myself or others but I scratched them and so I thought I would offer them to the community. I have gotten so much learning from others that I am really wanting to give back in some way.

So here’s to waiting for 2.5 :P

I know I’m reaching outside of the norm here, but I cannot stand “Desperate Housewives”. I don’t know why, not sure if it’s the context, or the actress’. Not sure really I just know that the show and everything about it just gets under my skin. I could easily rant quite a bit about ways that it gets to me, but thats not the point today.

Earlier this afternoon as I was cleaning house I heard my daughter “jammin” out to the song “Juicy” by Better Than Ezra. I love “Juicy” by Better Than Ezra and not only am I happy that they came out of the woodwork again the song is terribly “tuneful”. Now every time I catch myself singin’ to the music I have to cringe at the thought of what most people associate the song with.

I was in a store and the song came on and I was humming under my breath and the lady next to me said “Oh, I love this show! Have you seen this weeks episode? I can’t wait for season two…” What could I say? I didn’t want to outwardly tell this lady I dislike the show making her feel like I just told her what horrible taste in television she has. So I just told her I don’t watch much TV I just really like the song, but the whole conversation gave me a twinge of disgust for the stupid show ruining a perfectly catchy song for me.

Why do good songs have to be attached to bad soundtracks? AND why do people assume that just because you like the song your a nut for the movie/show?

I am so sick of the way that people perceive stay-at-home moms. I’m tired of the condescending looks and that baby tone of voice people get when they learn that I do not leave my house every day to go to work. My least favorite question that people ask right after I’ve told them my un-worthy profession is “So aren’t you bored all day? Not going to work every day would drive me nuts.” BORED?! I don’t have time to be bored and even if I gave myself the chance to be bored I would be opening myself, my day and my household to any number of disasters.

These people that seem to think that all I do is sit on the couch and watch my kids run around all day and maybe do a little cleaning if I feel like it confuse me. All I want to know after they talk to me that way is what is it like in their house? Are there not a million loads of laundry to do? Or how about the constant battle over the TV channel while your fighting everyone to find something more useful to do? Is my house unusually busy?
