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)].

goldfish blender; kids’ books; cars

On Yahoo! right now: “Dane Acquitted in Goldfish Blender Case” O_O!!!

Mon May 19, 2:12 PM ET

COPENHAGEN, Denmark—A Danish art museum director was acquitted of animal cruelty charges Monday after a court ruled that a display featuring goldfish inside working blenders was not cruel.

The display at the Trapholt Art Museum in Kolding featured 10 blenders and invited visitors to blend the fish if they wanted to. Somebody did in early 2000—and two goldfish were ground up. [X.X]

Animals right activists complained that the exhibit was cruel. Museum director Peter Meyer was fined $315 by police, but he refused to pay and went on trial in Kolding, 125 miles west of the capital, Copenhagen.

Judge Preben Bagger ruled Monday that Meyer did not have to pay the fine because the fish were killed “instantly” and “humanely.” [o_O]

During the two-day trial, a zoologist and a representative of blender manufacturer Moulinex said the fish likely died within a second after the blender started.

It was not known who turned the blenders on.

(Emphasis in article mine.)

Yuuck. Do fish go to Heaven? Is there going to be a movie All Fish Go to Heaven? Is that going to be the sequel for Little Nemo? Is it going to be rated G and geared towards kids? See your buddy die and go to Heaven! *ahem* Anyway. I’m being weird. Not out of the ordinary, but still … should keep quiet about. *shifts eyes around room* Keep people from pointing and staring.

We got rid of that book of weird true things. Dangit. I wanted to show Adam that Lizzie Borden story. Owell. I think we also got rid of Grump and Pout. XP I wonder if there was ever a book Mommy and/or Daddy bought specifically because they thought of me when they saw the title. There was Grump and Pout for Mickey, and The Day Henry Cleaned His Room (something like that) for Hidek. Hah. They were funny and mean at the same time. ^.^;;; Hidek got a kick out of it. Mickey was grumpy about his. >b

Anyway. One thing that happened this weekend. Probably one of like two or three things. I was finishing Sybil and I realized it was missing 20–30 pages of the last few chapters. Grrrrrrrrs. Cruel much. I read and read for … how many days? Wednesday, or Thursday, to Sunday, then I can’t read the ENDING. Um. I can pretty much tell what the ending is anyway. >_> But still. It’s all so … unresolved. Which reminds me. How do I return something to Amazon? How do I turn into a pissy unreasonable customer?

Um. Well I started kind of to continue reading Time Enough for Love but then last night I stayed up for about an hour (past 1) reading Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe. <.<;;; *coughs*

Hmmm … “Customers who shopped for Asian Americans also shopped for: Strangers from a Different Shore by Ronald Takaki, Asian American Dreams by Helen Zia, Becoming Asian American by Nazli Kibria, A Different Mirror by Ronald T. Takaki, Yellow by Frank H. Wu, and … ‘Fallen’ —Evanescence”

O.o Iiinteresting … I don’t have any money though, anyway.

Yesterday on the way to the mall I noticed how dreary colored and muted colored all the cars are. One lime green Bug drove past while Daddy and I waited at the light. *sigh* Next car I get is gonna be bright red. >D But that probably won’t be for another 9 or 10 years …

yearning for Yazawa

Friday, 16 May, 2003 at 11:16 pm

I am seriously starving for Ai Yazawa stuff. I wanna read Gokinjo Monogatari. Of course I wanna read Paradise Kiss. Nana also looks good. And if I ever really need Ai Yazawa work, I’d want to read Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai.

Right now I’ve got a Mikako Koda wallpaper. Saddish, dark (of course), but with touches of pink. Yay. Not candy pink though. It’s a reddish pink. Hah.

it’s kind of a drag, dragging scrollbars

Thursday, 15 May, 2003 at 12:29 pm

I just spent a loong while making a layout. I’m not sure how long. I suppose since some time after dinner. At least 4 hours, I guess. I started out with a really big image. It’s still a pretty big image. Something like 550×975. ^^;;; I was fixing for it to be a table layout. Like a bloggy thing. Of course.

But now I think, even though I’ve managed to slice it up into 5 gifs and one jpg, that’s it’s too much to download. Plus, I don’t like the continuing bg I’ve got going behind it. ^^;; Uugly. So I started using scrolling divs.

Having two scrolling sections on a page always annoyed me. Especially if the text scrolling section was much taller than my browser window, so to read the top of the page I have to scroll up in one section, then scroll up in the other. Same for the bottom of the page, except I’m going down.

And uhh … long story sort of cut short … now I’m gonna remake the layout somehow to make it more of a frames-ish layout. >_> Gee, isn’t this fun. (Well actually it is, kinda. ^^;;; The not-fun part is that it’s not going up tonight.)

Actually, I don’t even know where I’m going to put it up. Here, my journal, IAT, or maybe even another site. See, I was making it for my journal. But then I started to like it too much to keep it on a backpage like that. ^^;; And here, I just put up this layout. (Even though I don’t like it that much and if I don’t put the layout up here I’ll probably make a new layout for this place pretty soon.)

Decisions, decisions. Ah well. Anyway. I just realized something today. On this page (not anymore, after I post this) I had a month’s worth of entries. o_o;;; April 7th to May 7th. Aiiieee. I’ve gotta post more. ^^; I’m trying to not write in my journal as much. But then I just end up not saying anything at all.

Actually, I don’t have much to say anyway. Just stuff that I did during the day. *yawn* How boring. No interesting thoughts come to my mind. Maybe I should sit down here and ramble on and on like I used to. I think I’m starting to right now. ^.^;;

Oh well. It’s late. I keep trying to go to bed at a reasonable time so I can wake up at a reasonable time and not feel all yucky when I wake up, but so far it’s not happening.

everything will be just fine

I’m trying to write more in here. I think I don’t write in here because I don’t like the cgi files building up on my site. ^.^;;;

I downloaded a Taipei game. Wheee. ^-^ I haven’t played since we got rid of that IBM … (which Grandpa bought, which we got in like 1990, which cost $5,000 o.O which had Windows 3.1) And I have to say … WAS THAT GAME ALWAYS THIS HARD???? T-T I’ve played two games … and I haven’t won either of them. u.u;;

“Nothing’s so loud as hearing when we lie. Truth is not kind. And you’ve said neither am I.” — Toad the Wet Sprocket

Wow, that song is rather nice… Never heard the beginning before.

the evening speaks, I feel it say…
nothing’s so cold
as closing the heart when all we need
is to free the soul
but we wouldn’t be that brave I know

But I don’t like the chorus much. “ALL I want is to FEEL this way, to BE this close, to FEEL the same.” O_o
