Last night we were sitting in my office and talking, and she insisted that we actually started something more useful than looking through WordPress designs (we’ve been doing this for past couple of weeks). She said she promised something to the doctor who treated her and that she needs to describe her own impressions of the procedure. Botox injections, Restilane, Juvederm – whatever, I said and started writing.

It didn’t come out as a sales pitch, or at least I hope it didn’t. See for yourself and then let me know.

By the way, in two weeks there will be a follow-up article (doctor asked). So I guess I’ll post yet another link iin two weeks again, if I could come out with another masterpiece. Stay tuned.

Usually, the Columbus day was some sort of a starter signal for shopping. Discounts start to pour in all the way until after-Christmas, when they truly peak. This year, however, I expect absolutely different situation. Even Black Friday has a strong chance to remain in red.

There is, however, a bright side to all these things. Discounts and price drops might just be deep enough to justify purchasing something you’ve been putting off for quite some time. My plan is to buy a bench for my home gym. Or maybe even an elliptical machine.

Text is almost always the same, with slight variations:

I am very cheerful girl, which is simple adores to dance and chatter on souls. I very much like tennis and ski. I adore to travel and I dream once to travel all world. Only it would be desirable to inform my small, but by the very unpredictable world. I like my friends, through which I really have seen the world by such, that it is – complete secrets and adventures. I very love my parents, which have helped me to become with that I am in this minute. Yes, it is possible to say, I am happy. At the moment I am carried away by photos and drawing. In free time I attend disco with the friends and I read Russian literature.

With public acknowledgment of Russia’s dictatorship and recent initiatives to bring expatriates back home, I envision the wave of the profiles with slightly different angle to them. Something like this, only in Russian:

I am smart and good looking lady with love to reading, passion to theater and art exhibitions, dancing and travel. Enjoy tennis and skiing. My greatest dream is to travel all over the world. Like to spend time with my friends over a cup of coffee, see a movie or visit my old parent. Looking for a decent man who deserves to be with me and is willing to come to ____ (insert the name of the city here) and start a family.

Oh, and the photos should just like the following (actual dating photos used):

The outcome: lost weight (40 lbs) since November 2006, went from size 42 pants to size 36. Actually, last week my Armani Exchange designer jeans size 36 felt a little loose…

Lost my ex-girlfriend, who now looks like a huge transsexual monster weighting 270 lbs with no desire to improve.

Lost my old major, Computer Sciences, went with Entrepreneurial Management. Although it’s kind of hard to get all this new (to me) stuff into my head, it is very interesting and quite useful for a little adventure that I have.

While I was installing the new Travelogue theme, ran into Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in …[cut]…/wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php on line 623 error. While fixing the issue – killed the blog, killed the database, everything was pretty much in ruins. Thanks to smart ass I am – I got a back up on Amazon S3. So the database is restored, updated version of WordPress and new template are running, all is set.

BTW, the solution to this error is not on WordPress web site. It’s posted here and for sake of keeping up the good theme (hey, one of my favorite porn sites use it) I’m copying the solution here.

The solution is easy:

1. Open functions.php in travelogue2 theme folder

2. Edit line 102 from: $table_name = $table_prefix . “travelogue2″; to $table_name = $table_prefix . “t2″; (you have to change travelogue2 with t2)

2. Save, that’s all.

Thanks, Google

Why?

Don’t know, but I was kinda puzzled to see that Goggle’s PR of this site went to zero. Guess need to update it more often
