I am labeling this as a birthday gift because my hair was driving me insane! Went with the same haircut but no bangs! I think it makes me look grown up.
I put up my Christmas tree last night but I wanted to use my camera more so this is my attempt at being artsy around the house. I'm obsessed with light and how it reflects. Enjoy it. It's been a gloomy week so got no good lighting! I took the night ones at 5 AM and the stairs around 4 PM today. Yes, I put my christmas tree in my room. It's nice to look at!
I needed some things urgently and it was plates and drinking glasses and some storage tins. Obviously I tend to go for old time looking things. I was so happy when I found a good dinner set that is supposed to be very durable. I went to Goodwill in downtown. Very nice people working there. I got some spatulas and measuring spoons but no need to picture those! Just wanted to share excitement.
So I guess I should announce Tom and I are no longer a couple. I'm still working at our work place and everything is fine between us. So we're cool.
I got a studio apartment right where I wanna be in downtown for a good price. Its a loft and I would show you the bed room but I haven't got that straightened out yet. I have never lived by myself so I'm excited about it! I park my scooter inside and so its real cozy in here. Haha but enjoy the small photos of a apartment not quite pulled together. I didn't show the bathroom because well, not much to see! Enjoy!
I love reading the blog "Cute & Nast" (hiii stephieeee!) and so when they offered free stickers, I signed up quick! I think these stickers are adorable and look great on the scooter. :D :D :D :D I came out of bed this morning to have my scooter run for a little bit and to put this nifty embellishment on!
I wish there were better weather conditions but what can you do? December is a dreary month.
So I served a little while but I wanted to get some photo time in with bands, since I'm at the club a lot. I love the lighting at The Brewery it's so pretty when I look at it, and these are attempts at catching it. The band Of Colour played and they are a good band! CHECK THEM OUT! The keyboardist was filling in for tonight and she normally performs with New Artica. Also check them out! But yeah that was my night. Enjoy the photos!
We watched a show about buying local food and it inspired us to get off our butt and go to Farmers Market. Hardly anyone was open but we got some nice shots of the produce. We were in the all local grown section. :)
First, we're happy to announce that the team has identified and fixed the issue with the YouTube conduit; you can now find and add videos from YouTube to your library and posts. As always, thanks for your patience!
The other news we have today is about a new addition to the Six Apart family: TypePad Micro, a new free level of TypePad that is streamlined for microblogging. We see a new form of blogging emerging that lives between the quick status updates of Twitter and Facebook and the long-form posts of "classic" blogging; TypePad Micro is designed to meet that need. You can read more about TypePad Micro in Chris Alden's post on the Everything TypePad blog.
A lot of the new capabilities we've added to TypePad this year were actually inspired by some of the best things about Vox: favoriting, member profiles, a dashboard to follow other bloggers, and easy ways to post content from other social media sites. But the things that make Vox different from TypePad are still there: Vox has always been -- and still is -- the best place for "friends and family" blogging, where you're in control over who sees what. TypePad, on the other hand, is built for the blogger who wants, no, craves, attention.
Do you have a passion or interest you want to share with people beyond your Vox neighborhood? If so, we'd love it if you tried out TypePad Micro. Maybe you've always wanted to start that obsessive blog that's just about waffle restaurants. Or want a place to share videos of your favorite band (Jonas Brothers, anyone? Anyone? ...). TypePad Micro's great for those topic-specific blogs. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think.
On the Vox front, our designers are working on some cool new themes (coming soon!). We'd also love to hear your thoughts about where we should take Vox in the coming year. What are the key things you'd like to see for Vox? If you've had a chance to use TypePad this year, what are the features there that we should bring over to Vox? And, if you're thinking big thoughts, how could we connect the Vox and TypePad communities in order to bring together bloggers and their shared passions? Your feedback is really important to us, so please leave a comment here, or shoot me a message.
And again, thanks for your patience as we found and fixed the YouTube bug!

As many of you have noticed, the YouTube Conduit is not working. I am so sorry about this; I know how frustrating it is.
The team is looking into how to get this fixed and I will update you as soon as I hear something. In the meantime, not all is lost... There is a work-around for posting videos.
When you're in the Compose Screen, just click on "embed." Ignore the fact that it says "Widget" before everything because you can definitely use this to embed videos as well. You'll just need to input the embed code from the video, enter a title (if you want) and hit OK.
It might not show up perfectly in your compose screen, but when you hit "Save," your video should appear just the way you wanted it to.
Hopefully this will allow you to keep posting videos while we figure out what's happening on our end.
As always, thanks for your patience.
