I am one nose piercing richer this afternoon, after adding a tiny stud to my left nostril.
They shove a glass tube up your nose to catch the needle. I don't recall that the last time I got my nose pierced. It's interesting that even something as primitive as shoving a pointy metal barb through one's flesh can still evolve technologically.
I had a friend shoot video, so I should have video soon, to open up my new video podcast at geekgoddess.tv
It's a good thing I just registered geekgoddess.tv...
It'll take me a few days to set it up, but a regular geek girl video podcast is in the works. I take requests, so if you want to see gaming, tech goodness, web culture or anything else, lemme know.
Oh yeah, guys, I'm going to LARP for it!
Holy hell I am loving these guys!
Today offered what could be construed as a disappointment or a great opportunity. It's a disappointment now, but I can make it into something great if I push myself.
Good thing I'm pushy.
