Netscape 6

Thursday, 11 October, 2001 at 11:45 am

Netscape 6 is annoying the Holy Spirit out of me, I’m angry, and mad, and short-tempered, and about to light this thing with a can of gas. Ehh, too lazy to get the gas. ^_^;;

It won’t edit my bookmarks correctly! I grab a bookmark and drag it to where I want it (and it has to be in a specific spot, or else it’s moved to the top of the folder ¬_¬) then it disappears! I have to close the window and open it again for it to appear. And with how slow this thing goes, I’m not about to start organizing my bookmarks any time soon.

I forget where/who/what said, but I’m allowed to write in my complaints (“suggestions”) to make this thing better. But I’m not sure if I’m allowed only one e-mail or something, so I’m holding back. ^.^ Ehehe …

Netscape 6.1, Buba-chewed-layout

Wednesday, 10 October, 2001 at 4:56 pm

“How goes the new Netscape, version 6.1?” you ask. Or maybe not. :b

But anyway, yeah, so I’ve kinda got it figured out and fixed the way I want it … It’s so sloooooow! Okay, maybe not that slow. It’s the teensiest bit slower than IE 5.0 (the version I have now). But that’s slow to me! It’s like whoever makes Netscape was copying Microsoft (which is what I accuse them of doing) and thusly magnified the things I dearly dislike about that monopolizing browser. ¬_¬

Although … I can finally view frames and stuff correctly (I think), so I’m happy! :b If you’re wondering, I’m adding this entry with Netscape 4.5, don’t ask why.

Hey, I found out what layout I’m going to make to put up between the Padme and Michelle Branch one! It’s the cover of The Double Life of Pocahontas, illustration by … M-something Lynde … I think. Anyone want to open any bets as to how long it’ll take me to realize I can’t make this layout?

Ooh, ooh, guess what!! Okay, so Buba chewed the cover, I know that, and I cherish the teeth marks, I know that too, but I just found something out. I’m going to leave the teeth marks in on the layout and make a story! Or, at least I’m going to try to.

Obsessed? Yes, I love my piggums. I even love my scar on my right hand, although it was kind of scary when I first got it. I could see into my skin! Not that painful, though … or maybe it was, and my nice mind blocked out the memory. I do remember the horror of having to wash it out myself. I also remember making Buba fly across the room (umm, maybe a couple of feet) because he was latched onto me so hard. Hmm, personal experience if I ever wanted to report on how fiercely male guinea pigs can fight! haha.

Umm, what else? Oyeah, I downloaded that Netscape IM (which is AIM with a different name) because I didn’t want to stress myself out with the “custom download” so it’s just sitting pretty on my hard drive … *sigh* stupid thing. And there are “Free AOL and Unlimited Internet” links and icons and etc. all over. I can’t tell which is more rude, Microsoft or AOL.

that old Christmas feeling

“Yeesh, it feels like Christmas is coming. When I went outside to clean Amidala’s cage, it was sort of cloudy, and cool. Just what you’d feel when the holidays come.”
from JM’s diary, October 5th

^__^ Heehee! I had a feeling of Christmas too! A week ago, I think I was cleaning a pig cage then, too. I had to do Jayjo’s cage, on Monday or something. Spooky. O.o

So what’s the use of Halloween?

Saturday, 6 October, 2001 at 7:36 pm

“In other words, the true value and importance of Halloween comes not from parading in costumes in front of close friends and family, but from this interchange with strangers, exorcising our fears of strangers, reaffirming our social bond with the people of the neighborhood who we rarely, if ever, see the rest of the year.”
— Why bother to save Halloween? (archive.org copy)

:D I wanna go trick-or-treating now. Or come up with a really cool costume and sit outside handing out candy. But … I don’t know, will I have enough courage? I don’t usually sit outside on my porch alone, especially when there are a lot of people out. ^.^; I don’t know why.

Mommy was cleaning out the closets earlier this year, during the summer? She took out the Halloween box, which usually comes out only a few weeks before Halloween, and tossed some stuff out of there. I found my cape Bachan made for me, and she gave me my black tights. Now what to do with these things? I was thinking of a gothic version of Melfina, haha. I don’t really know.

Halloween is on a Wednesday this year. :( Owell. I guess I’ve had enough of weekend Halloweens for a while.

PETA “eat the whales”

Thursday, 4 October, 2001 at 8:48 pm

I was looking for something through a search engine and I got a lot of sites, none with the exact phrase I was looking for. One of them was Eat the Whales. I’ve never heard of PETA before (or at least I don’t remember hearing of them) so I guess it’s not too shocking, but still, to think that anyone would do that! Seriously, their only pro is that “we could spare more than 24 billion animals a miserable life and hideous death every single year!” Well no duh. one whale = 1200 pigs. O.o If we all started eating cows instead of pigs and chickens and fish even, there’d be less deaths. But that’s obvious! There’s more meat per cow than a fish or pig! These people must know how hard it is to keep the whales off the endangered list!

*mutters* bakas. Why don’t they try and stop those weird things at county fairs or whatever, catching greased pigs and hogtying. Isn’t that slightly torturous? Ooh, I forgot one thing! They’re not Christian, so of course they don’t understand that God gave us the animals for our own (heavily moderated) use. They think we should leave animals alone …
