Don't read anything into this picture.

OK – so I wanted an excuse to post the video below because I love Hall and Oates and hate Helen Hunt (I promise it will make sense after you watch it).  And since it was one of those things that sort of deserved it’s own but not really I needed to make this have a little more of a point.  I don’t know what exactly, as that has never stopped me before, but whatever.

Listen all you people with your own websites.  We added this thing to the posts so if you make a comment it magically puts a link to the last thing you wrote about.  I think it does your twtter shit if you don’t have a website or some other shit if you don’t have a computer (it’s very advanced).  Anyway – give it a try.  If it doesn’t work – then you can complain and if it does, maybe hotspur and vettech will click your links.  Maitland won’t though.  He’s a prick like that.

And now….Helen Hunt jumping out a window and keyboard cat and Hall and Oates doing my favorite Hall and Oates song EVARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

I'm Brooke Banner, and I love everything Acadia does!

Well, it’s Saturday.  And since the whole day was consumed by this little endeavor, I decided it warranted it’s own post.  Usually we don’t talk about our own business to the general public, but in this case, since it sort of affects you, it is appropriate.  Plus I want to know what you think of what we did.  We get paid in comments, so pay up.  Need your opinion on the following changes.

1. Took the looooooong ass list of celeb names out of the left sidebar and moved them to the footer.
2. Switched up some of the sidebar items (wanted to make them more even).
3. Added the top commenters (this is important – any of you people who have your own websites will get a cheap free link to your site if you make it into the top 10).
4. Added the most recent comments (needed to fill out the left hand side).
5. Added the most recent posts (the last 10) because….
6. Made it so only five posts show per page.  I think that might make the site load faster.  Or slower.  I dunno.  But whatever, I am not changing it now!

So now – let’s find out what you think.  And remember that if you don’t comment, your loved ones get sick.

You too can call us with what seems to be a remote control and make an orgasmy face!

So get this – you know that Magic Jack thing on TV?  The one that says you can buy a Magic Jack and plug it into your computer and have a phone for free?  Well, except for paying Magic Jack?  Well it’s true!  It was only $40 for the thingy and a year of the service.  And this is what I did.

1. Plug in the thing
2. Wait for it to install some shit.
3. Pick a Number
4. Lie about your address (they want it for like, 911 – but who would use this for their real phone?)
5. Call someone!

Now, you plug the phone line into the USB thing.  And it might as well be plugged into the wall.  You can dial out and get calls in.  If someone calls you, a thingy pops up on your screen.  I had to give my email so they might have voicemail or something like that, but I am thinking you could hook it up to an answering machine or whatever.

Soooooo – what are the drawbacks?  Well, it is using your Internet connection, so maybe it will be shitty when you are downloading porn, etc.  Or uploading porn.  I don’t know what you people do.  And your computer has to be on for it to work (I assume).  And you probably already have a phone.  But, for things like SUPERFICIAL GALLERY CUSTOMER SERVICE it is perfect.  So if you are a spy and you want to have a second sneaky phone line, then you can get yourself a Magic Jack and sneak it up!

Want proof?  Well, call our customer service line!  704-669-7220.  Please note that I got to pick the exchange, and I picked 669 cause I am so sexy.  I don’t know what the other six is for…maybe a midget.  So get a Magic Jack and start crank calling people.  Hooray!

Nick Burns, here to save the day and make you feel like a dumbass!

We have been working nearly around the clock re-designing the Celebrity Photo Gallery.  We still have a few bugs and kinks to iron out but you get overall gist of it.  Personally, I think it is mind blowingly gorgeous and I am kicking myself for not pushing for this literally years ago!  The old design was certainly functional but it looked like the red-headed step-child of our trio of sites.  And that sucked as the Celebrity Photo Gallery gets far more traffic than its (previously) more slick cousins, the Main Page and The Batcave.   But it is all equal now and that’s what matters.  Yes, this is what I’m telling myself.  HAH.

Obviously, I didn’t do this myself as all I do is make unreasonable demands, leaving it up to Acadia to figure out how to placate me.  And oh my, did he deliver in spades this time!  My lovely friend, Dee, designed the new banner (which I love!) and I thank her for always being willing to help with her amazing graphic design skills.  Joelle has been instrumental in building up the Photo Galleries themselves and helping test the new design and for always offering honest feedback.  You’re wonderful, darlin, and I thank you.  Acadia turned to Nick, our go-to IT guy for some of the more technical aspects.  Nick, you’re awesome and I adore you.  Now, about the alphabetical organization….

Lastly, I need to thank Acadia for taking my suggestions seriously and working tirelessly to make the Celebrity Pix Gallery all that I could have wished for and more.  I am very appreciative of all you do, sir.

NO! We are NOT Competent. Help us PLEASE!

Anyone out there know how to write code and queries and shit like that?  If so, click contact up above there.  I don’t wanna go to elance because I am afraid of strangers.  So.  Umm.  When you contact me, say, ” Hi, Acadia!”  That way I won’t get spooked.

Anyway – if you don’t know who Johnathan Coulton is, I don’t blame you.  But a guy from my work sent me this song years ago and I realized that I need a gorilla who can do what the guy in the song can.  Except no hanging around at the front desk.  Get back to work!

Also, one time I worked at this place and the girl at the desk had really big cans.  And I needed her to mail something for me so I IM’d her and said,  “Hey, I know you are really busty but can you get something out for me?”

Bad bad choice of words capped off with an unfortunate typo.  So now watch the video, because I managed to make this post about like, seven things and also nothing.  Mission accomplished.
