layouts, games, and book shopping

Sunday, 27 July, 2003 at 2:20 am

Ummm … *is in the middle of changing the layout* Lookie, mah birthday prezzie from Noelle. :D:D:D:D So cool! Pun not intended. ^^;;; Kawaii kitty, no?

Oh yeah, the Japanese reminds me. When we were coming home there was a commercial on the radio for some new store. This isn’t the whole name, just the part I remember. :b I heard them say “The Shishi Store.” I was sitting there thinking I must have heard it wrong, and then Daddy said, “Did they just say The Shishi Store?” ^_^;;;;;; So hah! I didn’t imagine it! XP And uhh … I don’t wanna explain. >.>; *moves along*

Today I followed Mickey to his room and asked if I could play with the GCN. We played Tetris Worlds. :D Weird setup, though … it’s kind of like, how far can you stray from the simple game of stacking tetraminos while still stacking tetraminos? And for some reason, I kept landing blocks one space off from where I meant them to go. >.< Annoying. He kept goading me. ^^;;; I’m not very good at Tetris anymore … *sniffles* I was always two or so levels behind him. Pooh.

After we played two or three neverending games @_@ (Mickey: When does this end? Me: Now. *quits*) we played The Sims. Bwahaha, I’m one level higher than he is in our house. >b He kept poking fun at me because of my bathroom though. >.> (Mickey: Who has the cleaner bathroom? Me: At least I don’t have flies flying around my toilet! Mickey: Those are your pet flies. They’re by your room. Me: Yeah well at least my bathroom doesn’t stink.)

Went to Barnes and Noble. *.* Their manga/comic section can look pretty nice when it’s cleaned up. Of course, it’s still only two shelves worth of space, but better than nothing. Everything was all out of order. I would have straightened it out (my fingers were just itching to put everything in order), but I was carrying food from Tony Roma’s, and plastic is loud when other people are reading. o.o

Got this one manga, forget what it’s called, read about it in my Waldenbooks e-mail thingimabobber. It’s “controversial.” :b Also got Kare Kano 3 (dunno why, not that into the series), Neil Gaiman’s Smoke and Mirrors (waiii!), Why Girls Are Weird (about this girl who posts made-up diary entries online, and what happens because of it o.O), aaaand … The Art of Charles Schultz. w00t! XD $25. o_o But it’s Charles Schuuultz! It has his older comics and stuff. Mommy says they’re not as funny. But they’re cute. Yup! ^-^

I spent, in total, $81.11. ._. Okay, new rule. No wandering around bookstores after I’ve got two or three or four books! x_x

Spent the rest of the night working on my First Band on the Moon fanlisting. Woo! :D I was working on the Other Side of the Moon fanlisting, but then I got tired of coding/writing, so I went to look at Noelle’s present. X) And it led me here. Muahaha.

I changed the coding a bit, though. Put the entries in a div tag, instead of in an inline frame. (Used frames for L.S layout, don’t wanna do that again any time soon. x_x)

Oh yeah. :D New layout at Literal Scars. Woo! Dunno how good it is though. I always tend to like my really not-so-normal stuff, and then it turns out that there’s something wrong with it. :( Oh well. Poem! (on the layout) “I need to have loved you. I need to have told you so.” Whyyy can’t I write like that?

Oh yeah. Went to this person’s writing site. I like her poems. ^^; All three she’s got up there. Especially the first one. ^^ Kind of makes me want to create my own writing site (one separate from my art). But I don’t have nearly enough of anything for it.

Anyway, anyway … now on to fixing up the tagboard for the layout. And after that I think I’ll leave the OSOTM fanlisting for when I wake up.

Hodj n Podj

Friday, 18 July, 2003 at 9:54 pm

Today I played Hodj n Podj. Did a couple cryptograms, got annoyed, then started fooling around with Art Parts. XP First I did 25 columns by 1 row. That was fun. Then I did 30 rows by 1 column. Then I did 25 columns by 30 rows. O.O!! It was like playing with pixels! In the course of ten minutes, all I got to do was put all the sky pieces at the top, and all the pieces of the sign below the sky. ^.^;;

Then I did a couple puzzles that were more normal … then I played the board game, one player, Podj an average opponent and me at a medium skill level. Whenver Podj lost a turn or lost gold I went “Gehehe …” and when he got a turn or got gold I went “Dengit” and when I lost items (TWICE!) I went “DANGIT!” The second time I hit my fist on the desk and my neighbor said something or other about me … o.o;; I didn’t quite hear him, and I didn’t want to ask … But anyway. I won. :D I married Mish and/or Mosh and had twin daughters, w00t! :b

behind the bitter ache

Thursday, 17 July, 2003 at 3:02 pm

After having been on the computer for about an hour and a half, these are some things I have discovered:

This song that Adam sent me a while ago, “The Meaning of Peace,” it has two singers, BoA and Koda Kumi. I just found out I have another song with Koda Kumi, “1000 no Kotoba.”

I’ve got almost 23 hours of music stuff. 883 megs. That’s not counting the stuff I’ve deleted from the library.

I still have no idea how to get the Mozilla browser. ¬_¬ (Well, chalk it up to impatience this time, I don’t wanna go looking through the site.) Netscape’s end is near.

Right now I could work on my sites, but I don’t feel like it. ^^;;;

Hidek’s got the Gamecube (playing the Sims) and Mickey’s got the N64 (playing the New Tetris). I could latch on to either, if I really wanted to.

There’s also Fushigi Yuugi (1st season) and Escaflowne I have to finish watching, and the Escaflowne movie and the Cowboy Bebop movie to see. I don’t have the patience to watch tv though. Hmm … I have no idea what to do. ^^;; *goes to update dreamlog*

Animatrix, the New Tetris, and the Sims

Sunday, 13 July, 2003 at 11:48 pm

Stayed up til 2:30 last night watching The Animatrix. Gehehe. I loved the animation. ^__^ But I didn’t get much of the stories. Partly because I had the volume turned down low, and partly because I haven’t seen the Matrix movies. ^^;;;

“The Final Flight of the Osiris” used computer animation, like the Final Fantasy movie. And “Kid’s Play” used animation that’s quite different. Looks sketchy, or like they left the pencil marks in, or … I dunno. I rather liked it. I don’t really remember the rest. ^^;;;

Today I spent almost an hour playing The New Tetris. ^___^ Except I really stink at Tetris lately. ¬_¬ First game I got like 400 lines, second I forget, 460? And third I was just trying to get our needed lines below 65,000, so I just got 270. x_x Augh.

Hidek played The Sims on the Gamecube with my neighbor. He was “Ozzy” and Hidek was “Dude.” My neighbor said, “Don’t put their rooms right next to each other, that’s gay!” o_o;;; When I went into his room again, Hidek said, “See how lazy he [neighbor] is? He’s got doors going directly from his bedroom to the bathroom, the kitchen, and the living room!” Hahaha. And my neighbor walked into the bathroom while Hidek was on the toilet >.> so Hidek walked in on him when he was in the bath, saying, “At least when you’re in the bathtub you won’t get out.” :b

Thefanlistings.org is down. :( I’m left out in the cold! Wahhh!!! *ahem* >.>;; It’s one less thing that I could be doing. Of course, I could be working on Elsewhere (for some reason I just stopped), SMCasmin (I worked on it a bit yesterday; I have one section written, and the beginning of another), or Midnight Rendezvous (I’m thinking about just making it generally about books; anything I want to put up there concerning me and books). But no, of course not. I made another livejournal for myself for quizzes and surveys. ^^;;; I dunno why. I don’t know if I’ll even use it for that long. I don’t even know how to change colors or anything. :( But it’s here, anyway.

RCT 2, AALCC fanlisting

Wednesday, 21 May, 2003 at 12:01 pm

I played RCT 2. Wooo. I started … uhh, the beginner’s farmland one. Yeah. Cheap game won’t let that place charge for park admission. -.- But anyway. The goal was at least 700 guests with a park rating of at least 600 after 2 years, and I have over 700 guests with a park rating of over 800 at May, Year 2. W00t! The first scenario I beat on the first try! (Or, the first I remember, anyway …). But … there are just some weird little things that I couldn’t get used to in the amount of time that I played. ^^; Maybe I’ll get used to them later, I dunno.

Then I finished my All About Lily Chou-Chou fanlisting tonight. Gehehehe. But after I finished I realized it won’t show up on Netscape right. o_o!! Grrs. I don’t know why. I used tables, then an iframe, then … after that it’s pretty boring coding. I just don’t understand why the text won’t show up. So I haven’t sent in a finished form yet. T-T But [it’s online (link to /aalcc)].
