*dies satisfied*

New layout. Purple. Yukari (from Paradise Kiss :b). Lots and lots of … mixed up coding. Mm. It took me the whole day to get this layout up. ^^; Actually, I worked on it yesterday, too. Yesterday I made most of the layout. Finished editing the image today, making little changes and stuff. I spent maybe 2–2.5 hours yesterday on it. Today I did the coding. That took me the whole day. And this is without slicing the image. Can you imagine how much later I’d be up if I’d sliced it? ^^;;; I don’t want to think about it.

Maybe 5–6 hours coding? ^^;; Yeah … Hopefully I won’t get too annoyed by this layout very soon. >.> ‘Cause even right now I see things that irk me. ._.; Auuugh … Can’t be good enough, can I? :b Hmm … oh well.

…

I noticed myself not minding rock music as much as I used to. It’s good, because I don’t get annoyed. But it’s bad, because … even though I’m starting to like harsher stuff, I still know it’s not that good, music-wise.

Auugh … lately I’ve been wishing I could be perfectly happy with Savage Garden and The Corrs and Lisa Loeb. Lisa Loeb used to be one of my faves. And for so long, too. ;-; Now I notice she’s a bit too soft for me. But I still like her first two albums. It’s like, first album, most liked, last album, least liked, second album, in between.

Well anyway. The point of all that is … I like my Chevelle album now. ^.^; When I first got it I thought, ‘yuck, this is no good.’ But then I thought, ‘I’ll get used to it.’ Just like I’ve gotten used to a lot of other music I bought but didn’t like much at first. And … now I have gotten used to it. The songs I like the most are Send The Pain Below, Closure, The Red, and One Lonely Visitor. ^_^

Oh. Here’s another thing I wanted to say. I’m looking into pMachine. ^^;; I don’t know what the requirements are for running it, I can’t seem to find anything about that on the site. I think it uses something I don’t have on fs.net. But I’m still tired of GM, and don’t have much of anything else to do … *hides huge to-do list behind her back* … so I’m looking into it. ^_^’ (Looking into it as in … downloading and looking at the files and attempting to upload it on fs.net.)

Ah! The title of this layout … I forget who sings the song. I forget what the song’s called. But I keep seeing the music video (not as often as Bring Me to Life, though, grrr) and I think it’s weird (in a good way) and I’m starting to enjoy the song (actually, I enjoy the song pretty well by now :b), and I can’t think of any other lyrics that would fit the layout, so there ya go.

I was gonna say, “Non-theist, 28%? That’s pretty high,” but then I got Atheist and Agnostics 32% before. o.o Odd.

Mitsuwa, Ringu 2; tv, Ewan McGregor, RRK

Saturday, 14 June, 2003 at 1:23 am

Mommy and I got treats at Mitsuwa. We got nori and boro and rice candy. w00t! Except … they cheated me. ¬_¬ It saaaays “free children’s STICKER inside” and they give me a temp tattoo. Boo.

Mommy and I saw “Ringu 2” at Mitsuwa. Actually, I think that store is called Book Market or something. (It says “Recycle!” on their bag, haha.) Anyway. We were looking at the back and then Mommy put it back and as she was putting it back I noticed this tiny picture in the corner and I picked it up again and showed it to Momma and said, “That’s creepy.” It was just a picture of hair hanging off something with a white sheet covering the head and body. ^.^;; But it still gave me chills. >.> Yeah. I wanna see the Japanese version. Muuust haaave! Also the Animatrix. Hehehe. We watched the second one in multimedia. It was cool.

…

After dinner today I flipped through my favorites and Ewan McGregor was on the International Film Channel. I think he did an independent film recently? I’m not sure. It looked interesting, the little clip I saw … He said he doesn’t limit himself to just Hollywood films, he bases it on whether he can get excited about the script, and I thought … ‘He liked the Phantom Menace script?’ Well, maybe it looked good while it was on paper or something …

Oh yeah. I saw the last ten minutes or so of Rurouni Kenshin today. I saw what’s-his-name, the guy Noelle is talking about, the “12-year-old assassin.” :b Yeah, no kidding. x.x I don’t like his voice. I also don’t like Misao’s voice. Wai wai! I saw Misao today! Coool! :D (‘Cause Kaoru was such a disappointment :b) And people kept calling Kenshin a bum. Haha. Oh yeah. What’s-his-name. The guy who’s being called “Leader.” (I say, “Take me to your Lee-dur! :B” whenever I hear it. ^^;;) He had those two blades out of one sheath. Hehehe. nifty. Yeah.

Mitsuwa ramen

Friday, 13 June, 2003 at 5:04 pm

Mommy and I went to Mitsuwa, the one on Venice. ^__^ There’s a restaurant called Tampopo there. Haha! So cool. So I had my first real bowl of ramen (as opposed to instant noodles or something). I have to say … I like udon more!! >.> I dunno. My complaints are that the noodles were tangled (Mommy: You look like a bird. Me: I know! *tugs at noodles* Grr.) and that the shiru was tooo salty. Yuck. Made me sick. x_x But not too sick to go to other stores. XP

I got a BoA album. Yay! XD It has Every Heart and Amazing Kiss on it. I also like this other song … I don’t know the title of it. ^^;; It reminds me of a lullaby or something … Anyway. I also got origami. Not really fancy or prettyful or anything. I just liked the rather Japanese-ish designs on it. ^^ I was thinking of getting something like that anyway. Oh yeah. I saw Gokinjo Monogatari there. :D But I decided not to get it … I dunno. It said 505 yen. I don’t quite know how much that converts to. Around $5. ^^;; I didn’t want to spend money on it.

domain host setups

Thursday, 12 June, 2003 at 10:54 pm

Well … I forgot fs.net is the one without MySQL databases. HAHAHA! So funny! Right. And I dun wanna move my blog back to inangeling-dot-net. XO So I just sticky wi’ da GM for now and wait until either a. I move fs.net to an Apache server (not likely) b. I become uber rich and upgrade my current hosting package to the first plan I bought for inangeling-dot-net ($100 per year) c. I become even more rich and get a package where I can host more than one domain there, or d. I move to another server entirely (don’t know why I would, though).

So uh, yeah, point being: I’ll stick with greymatter and not rebuild any old files.
