This blog has moved!!!
Go here, dudes —> www.lateshoes.com
It took FOREVER to get all of the CSS in order – Anyhoo – I’ll be working on a redirect shortly, so you won’t have to worry about this, but in the meantime, please update your bookmarks and links.

I just bought my domain and am building my own website from scratch!
It’s kind of freaking me out.
It will be a while before I move the blog, because I want to test the whole “having my own databases and server space” thing for a bit before diving completely in with (holy shit! 5 years of blog posts).
I’m also going to try creating Honeycakes there – though, one roadblock already; honeycakes.com is already taken by some wack ads page. Boo and hiss.
MySQL is scary.
PHP is scary.
I’m scared.
In other scary tech news – We got Lars a cheapy, cheapo netbook to take to India. We were both feeling a certain amount of stress about taking his heavy (and pricey) Macbook, so getting an extremely cheap (have I conveyed how cheap it was yet?) little (and I mean really little) pc seemed like the way to go.
The only real problem – frakking Windows. I totally understand that I’m Mac nerd/ snob…whatever, but you guys – Macs are just sooooooooooo much easier to use. AND they never get viruses. Anyway – after two days of dealing with Windows (ugh – the hair pulling) – we decided to install Linux. More specifically Ubuntu remix for Netbooks.
We installed last night (very easy) and according to Lars there are only a few glitches. Luckily I work with an Ubuntu guru who knows exactly what to do. (Only one of the perks of working in IT)
It’s a brave new tech-nerd world for the Medleys this week.
Now if I could only break out of my Spring Fever crazies.
At least I can take my laptop outside.

Don’t Mess With Texas … Get Rid Of It : NPR.
Ha! I laughed because I’m a “libnut.” Ohhh, remember the good ol’ days when they got to scream “Love it or Leave it!” to us?
Suck it, extremist douchebags. Your time of bending over and taking a joke has come.

So, the tentative plan is that Angie and I are going to try to share a storefront on Etsy. We haven’t worked out all of the details, but look forward to telling all your friends about Honeycakes – which is what we’ve decided to call our store.
It’s the name of a Chubby Bunny song written for Tawnya’s dad’s wedding and I think it has just enough adorableness to be appealing, but not make people puke.
Angie will most likely be selling her AMAZING handmade bags and if we’re lucky…her clothing designs and earrings as well.
I’ll be doing graphic design work (web stuff, print stuff, branding etc…) as well as selling some of my goofy original artwork. Yarrrrr!

A poem from my “poetry journal” in Jim Papworth’s class, 1995 –
Please don’t vomit, Gabriel
and don’t forget your hat
Albert will be along soon
to put a bullet in your head
Please don’t kill John, Gabirel
he can’t be all that bad and
even though he double-crossed
you
he says he won’t come back
“Please,” he says, “Have a heart”
you smile and say, “What heart?”
and Bang!
He’s dead.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
