I wait in the shadows

Last night, I found this program on the International Channel (I waaant! but it’s part of an extra package with Comcast T-T). It was showing music videos. I think they were all Korean but I couldn’t really tell. ^^;; Yeah. Asian rappers! O_O It was scaary …

OOH! And I saw the last half minute of a BoA video!! XD (I’d changed the channel and forgot to switch back. >.>) She looks a lot older. o_O She looked like a regular 16-year-old, not an Asian 16-year-old. :b

Then there was this boygroup video … the music so seriously sounded like an Nsync song. But since I don’t listen to their songs I don’t know which one exactly. ^_~ And I don’t know if it was the same video, or another boygroup-esque video, but one of the guys looked kinda like Hoshino. XD Hoshino! T-T Poor Hoshino … *sniffles*

Then there was another video which started out interestingly enough, like a modern artistic thing or something, but then it ended up being a normal boring video with backup dancers. -.- The beginning had the singer (Park Ji Yoon) at a sewing machine, and there was this black beetle (I forget the specific species) walking around … and I’m still not quite sure what happened to the beetle. :( But that certainly would be one way to get black lipstick. :B And there was this teddy bear banging on the window … which she ended up tearing apart. Huge teddy bear. O.O Like … it took more than two men to carry it kind of big … yeah.

So. Now I’ve got Park Ji Yoon piccies to use for a new layout. :D I’m getting tired of the … I don’t know. Something about this layout. Besides, I still want a normal blog layout with a designated sidebar. I don’t really know why.

I just want you to know

Spread of ‘Sobig.F’ Internet Virus Declared Fastest Ever

Ahh, so that’s what that is. >_< And the trojan thing kinda scares me. I know almost nothing about them, so that’s why. But it’s too late to go find info about them.

** Thirty-three percent of those polled thought teacher salaries were “just about right.” (from Yahoo)

They thought WHAT?! >.< Dang cheapskate taxpayers. Stupid tax system that gives little money to education.

Hm, I think I’m gonna ask Mommy why my high school US Gov’t book said that a public school system is bad. I forget why.

Also, made this graphic. Heh. It’s nothing bleeping amazing. :b And I’ve still gotta work on the glowy effect around her hands. But I like it. When I’m done, I’m putting it in [EW (link to art site)]. Finally! Something actually new to add! ^-^;;

I’m also think of splitting the visual and written parts of that site apart, then adding a link from the writing site to l.s. Why? I dunno. The idea was planted by this clique that I was interested in. It said I had to have a link to a place where my writing is. And I didn’t know if EW would qualify, being that half (or over half) of that site is my art. ^^;; But I don’t know. I might just take the lazy way out and not do it. XP

But if I do do it, there was something someone (maybe Dream) said in The Sandman that caught my eye. I might keep EW (change the name a bit) and keep it as some passageway to either site. Then I’d call my art Black Light and written stuff Blood Letters. O.o I just realized both of them are BL. ^_^;;;;;; And the problem with using those names is that I was gonna use Black Light for my wallpaper site (if I ever actually put it up o_O *doesn’t enjoy the thought of putting up her wallpapers*), and I’d have to come up with another name if I do the split. Oh well, something to think about tomorrow during classes. :P

erase this from your memory

I forgot to mention yesterday, I read the two Mars manga Noelle has. :D I like. A bit simple, but still enjoyable. ^__^ So there’s another manga I have an interest in buying. Not immediate, but … if I run out of anything else, I’d get it.

I think I’m at the point in Count of Monte Cristo where all the names run together and there’s confusion … O.o Umm, Danglars is the purser guy who made it rich, with a daughter, Eugénie. Villefort is the deputy public persecutor guy who married a second time to a young widow, and has a son Edouard and daughter Valentine who’s supposed to marry Franz, Albert‘s friend. His parents are Fernand and Mercedes, Count and Countess of Morcerf. Hmm … and Madame de Villefort and Edouard were the ones in Madame Danglars’ runaway carriage. Lucien Debray is the minister’s secretary and the one who has something to do with Madame Danglars. o.O Maximilien Morrel is the son of Monsieur Morrel, the shipowner, and the brother of Julie who married Emmanuel Herbault. He’s also the one who loves Valentine. @.@ And Eugénie mirrors Albert’s feelings about their marriage; she wants to become a painter like her friend. Hehehe … yeah. Anyway. O_O I wonder if I missed anyone …

Despite all the names, it’s still a goood story. ^__^ Really rather different than the latest movie adaptation. I think people have said that already…. I think the French version is supposed to be the closest to the book? I dunno. N watched it. I forget what he said. I must see that one. Don’t remember any other versions.

Argh, I’m losing faith in fanlistings. -.- Firstly, the first fanlisting I ever [attempted to] join was one for Léon (aka The Professional), but then I noticed that the last updated date was not the same as the last date on her updates list (go check it out, you’ll see), and I realized she used a current date script for the last update thing. -.-;;;; Her site’s on hiatus, as well. For the looongest time.

The next one, The Cardigans. >( ARGH. I don’t know if her join form for that fanlisting is broken or what, but I know there’s someone else who joined (she joined my Gran Turismo fanlisting as well ^^) that wasn’t added. Plus, on her blog, she updates like once every month or so. >_< *sniffles*

Then the fanlisting for Amy Lee, I’m not po’ed about that one. She’s been rebuilding her site since the middle of June and before. Yupyup. But for some reason it doesn’t matter to me. That fanlisting hasn’t been updated since the end of May. ^.^; Then the fanlisting for Eat Drink Man Woman. I’m rather sad that hasn’t been updated since March. :( But she said that people don’t join, so it doesn’t really matter. Even though it means I haven’t been added to the members list. ^_^;; I don’t really mind. It’s just that she’s on the troubles list now for not updating. T-T

My Song isn’t a fanlisting, it’s a clique, but still, she said she’d update pretty much last week, and yet … nothing. It’s a really big clique though. o.o And I’ve got my luverly code up, so I don’t mind much. ^^

The last fanlisting I joined (umm … that I haven’t been added to) is the Yoshi fanlisting. :( She updated, but I wasn’t added to the list. I dunno why. I was gonna rejoin, but then the join form is closed. >.<!! Today I joined another clique, “we’re all a little fragile.” It looks like she updates at least twice a month. But watch, with my luck, something’ll come up so she doesn’t update for a while.

I’m not kidding. There were so many fanlistings I joined that weren’t updated for a loong while after. The Beatles fanlisting, Audrey Hepburn, guinea pigs (but it came back up ^_^), Gregory Smith, Snoopy, Evanescence … which reminds me. I joined the Gordo fanlisting, but it went down (her server went down and she lost all her files), and then I decided I wasn’t that big of a fan, so I took the code down. ^.^;; I should change that.

Oh well. I’m bored. I feel like putting this here. :)

O_O *is speechless*

…

…. How is Netscape doing that?!?! O.O! I can’t see anything wrong with the coding … and I don’t think Netscape is that weird … It shows the scrollbars for each entry, but no text in the entry. o_o Sometimes it shows the first entry. But when I scroll right and back it disappears. o.o And the tagboard isn’t showing up either. But the “sidebar” is showing up. How weird. :( I think I’ll just switch it to a regular-ish layout.

But anyway. New layout. :b I had it saved in a folder for a longo time. About a month, I guess. ‘Tis Lisa Loeb! :D Yesterday and the day before I listened to her Tails and Firecracker albums. ^__^ But not her Cake & Pie album. :P
