Okay! Finally. New layout. :b I spent most of my computer time working on this today. *breathes* And I’m so happy! :D Well, okay, I guess it’s a weird layout. >.> I made it, so hey, that explains it. Yup. Anyway … I had bunches of stuff I wanted to say about it. Lessee. I used Adobe Photoshop to make it. :) Well, for the most part. I used PSP to make the red part. ^^;; I’m still more sure of myself in PSP than PS, so … yeah.

I also learned (finally) how to use that image slicer. :D That’s why there’re so many images to load. ^^;; This one site I was looking at said slicing up images doesn’t make it load any faster, but it loads faster in the person’s mind, because the mind fills in the empty parts of the image as it’s loading. I thought that was interesting. But then I looked at the coding that was spilled out x_x and now I wonder, doesn’t that take a longer time to load? Mm. Dunno. Oh well. What else … Side scrolling! Hopefully that doesn’t annoy tooo many people. >_> ^^;;;; Sorry, I just like the look of it. Maybe I’m less annoyed by them because my touchpad lets me scroll sideways on the bottom. ^.^; So sorry.

Um. Look! See gif? Is fading away to the bottom! :D:D I think it was more trouble than it was worth, though. :/ And about the words at the top … I didn’t know what to call it, and “spuger” (kinda like booger :b) came to mind. But then I found out it’s a real thing (Yahoo search) so I changed it to spugey (now like “pukey”). And “reyal” came from me first calling it a royal mess, but I thought that was insulting to any royals, so I changed it to reyal (and I think it’s a word in Spanish, but I didn’t look it up ^^;;). So, yeah, that’s it.

On to the next thing. Mommy reminded me about the thing on channel 5, so I watched it. She knew about it ’cause KTLA Morning News had a spot on it or something. Evanescence was on last. (“You have to watch the lesser bands first,” Mommy said :b) W00t! And Gregory Smith and what’s-her-name hosted it. o.o Yay! Gregory Smith!! XP

Evanescence performed two songs, Going Under and Bring Me to Life. Mommy asked if they were really playing or if it was a recording, because “it sounds so good!” Yaay! :D And I think I wanna be Amy Lee. o_o;; I wanna sing like her; I wanna design clothes like her; I wanna be her. O_o I never wanted to be anyone else before. Oh well. I wanna sing like her!! *cries*

crawl back in

If anyone was wondering …

I’ve got a layout made up. ^__^ I just have to write up the code to insert the entries. Oh, and fix up a stylesheet, and fiddle with the sidebar. The reason why it’s not going up is because I’m working on this [link to animated gif]. I’m gonna put that up between the entries. And uh yeah, it’s a side-scrolling layout. >_> I’m trying to make that gif look like it’s dribbling down and fading into black. I think my eyes are dying. I’ve got bars semi-burned into my retinas. Or whatever. And the backs of my eyeballs feel tight. x_x Ouchies. Why do I always do this to myself?

And the music I’ve listened to today: Chevelle’s Wonder What’s Next; Creedence Clearwater Revival’s 20 Greatest Hits (Mommy wanted me to listen to it); random music files I have; Michelle Branch’s Hotel Paper (a couple times); Evanescence’s Fallen; and now I’m listening to Coldplay’s A Rush of Blood to the Head.

I think I feel sick. x.x;;

search hits episode II

These are for inangeling-dot-net. :b

I got “crazy? i was crazy once” and “crazy? i was crazy once they put me in” so I went to see what results there are. Lots of results for a Janis Joplin song. But past that, there’re lots of Crazy poems. Heh heh. I still like Tadash’s friend’s version, though. XD *imagine a little innocent person saying this*

Crazy?!
I was crazy once,
they put me in a round room,
I liked that round room,
they gave me a huggy jacket,
I hugged it and it hugged me back
one day I died,
they buried me under daisies,
I hate daisies,
one day I sniffed the daisies,
it smelled so bad it drove me crazy,
Crazy?!
I was crazy once …

Other ones I found:

Bugs. I hate bugs. They drive me crazy. Crazy! I was crazy once! They locked me in a padded room… I thought bugs were crawling all over me. Bugs! I hate bugs…
Crazy I was crazy once they locked me in a rubber room with rats I hate rats they make me crazy…
Crazy-I was crazy once, they put me in a room, a round room, a round round rubber room, with rats round rats, round round rubber rats, they drove me crazy…
Crazy? I was crazy once! They locked me in a rubber room with squirrels. I hate squirrels, they have crazy eyes. Crazy? …
I was crazy once. They put me in a little padded room and locked the door. That’s when the worms came. The worms made me crazy. Crazy?

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.

tv viewing

So yesterday night, at 10, I watched Dead Like Me. :D It was a saddish episode though. :( She cried ’cause she can’t have her life back. I don’t know if Monk was new or not. >.> I had to take a bath anyway. And I also missed The Dead Zone on Sunday. >.< Dangit! I forgot alll about it. Seriously, I looked at the time and it was about 10:30 and I had no thoughts about it. Urg.
