Hi *waves*. So I’ve decided to cut off some rotting limbs concerning the site. Ghost Hack has lost its approval and there is nothing I can do about that, so I’m shutting it down. I could run it without it being approved, but there is resentment there, so I might as well cut ties. I haven’t had much interest in Believe in Beauty for quite a while, so that one is getting cut too. And although I still love the song “Don’t Let Me Be the Last to Know,” I don’t feel comfortable being connected to anything Britney Spears considering she’s turned into a white-trash whore with an impossibly stupid (and equally white-trash) “husband” (If you can call him that), so that one is to the curb as well.

I need to break down and code the new layout for Warrior of Darkness and believe it or not, I’ve decided to apply for a few anime fanlistings again, three to be exact. I may get them, I may not, but I think I have a pretty good chance. Once I secure them, I’ll go into more detail.

You’d think that after all that happened with Ghost Hack I’d decide to boycott The Anime Fanlistings all together, but that would be childish. I obviously was not meant to run that fanlisting any longer, so I’m over it. It sucks, but I’m over it. Now it’s someone else’s turn.

I have two Christmas parties this week that I have to go to. One is for our office only (and a guest) and the other is with our Partner Company, Interactive Ideas. I don’t want to go to either, but what the hell. Its office politics and free food/drink at its best, so I can’t complain too much. We have to do this white elephant type gift exchange with a cap of 20 bucks spent on the gift. I’m going to buy a $20 gift card from Starbucks. I can just see these java junkies vying for that nice little lump of flesh. I hate Starbucks so I have absolutely no use for the thing, I’m happy to give it away and it will be fun watching them steal from each other to try and get it. Muhahahahaha!

Other than that, things are pretty low-key. I organized and spring cleaned my mp3s over the weekend. I got rid of a bunch of stuff I couldn’t believe I freakin’ downloaded in the first place. I ripped some songs from CDs that I really wanted on my computer (much easier to listen that way) and pretty much organized my I-tunes to death. I also fixed the corrupted coppermine database at M-C.Com, which had apparently been corrupted for weeks and I had no idea. I’m so neglecting Mattie right now. By the way, should I open a Gerry fansite? I worship him, but there are so many out there already.

Alrighty, peace, love and blessed it be.

Hi *waves*. I’m wearing yellow underwear today. Isn’t that a hell of a way to start of an entry, but it’s true. They came in my Hanes variety pack and since I was wearing a yellow blouse today, I thought I’d color coordinate.

Believe it or not, I’ve actually been brain storming about my domain sections. I think I have a pretty good outline of stuff to add to each section that would be pretty interesting. The only problem I have is setting aside the time and prioritizing my other projects properly.

Don’t laugh. I do have other projects like Warrior of Darkness and Ghost in the shell. I don’t know if I should even spend the time on The Ghost in the Shell fanlisting now. I’ve been running the damned thing for two fucking years now and come to find out that my fanlisting is no longer approved because TheFanlisitngs.Org branched off into The Anime Fanlistings. Umm… no one told me this, so I find out months and months later. But I’m like, whatever, no big deal. I’ll just add their link to my page. But something in the back of my mind told me to check and make sure Ghost Hack was listed. Because honestly, if they are not even going to tell you that a new branch has been created at the fanlistings, why would they honor any of the fanlistings approved before they “branched off” in the first place. And guess what, some other Ghost in the Shell fanlisting was listed as approved. Now, I’m not angry at the owner of that fanlisting. That would be stupid, but I’ve been running the original approved listing for two freakin’ years and I’m sorry, but I feel like I was fucked over a little bit. It’s like the years I put into that thing and the 300+ member’s database I have maintained is irrelevant now. Like all my hard work was snubbed and my fanlisting was stolen away from me. It may sound stupid to a lot of you, but this has been irritating me for a while. I’m thinking about e-mailing all my members, telling them to join with the real GITS fanlisting and shutting Ghost Hack down. I really love that anime too. It’s my favorite and I was so freaking stoked when I was approved. This just sucks.

Anyway, I keep having dreams about Gerard Butler. Very strange… very strange indeed.

Hi *waves*. So it's back to work for me. It's not so bad though. Not as bad as I thought it would be anyway. It's not like I'm twitching on the floor in full blown withdrawl form a 4 day weekend. Don't get me wrong, I was so enjoying my little Va-ca. I got so much shit done! I put this layout up which I am loving, and I started work on new layouts for both Warrior of Darkness and Ghost Hack. I'm very please with both of them. The only downside is that I was so inspired to design yesterday that I was up until like 3 in the morning. I'm working on like 3 hours of sleep. I'm so beyond tired, I'm not tired anymore.

Speaking of computer related things, lets talk about my computer and how it is with me at work right now. I thought I'd bring it in and have AJ look at it. It is at a snails crawl right now, so I'm trying to do something about that... short of chucking it out the window. I probably need new memory (which I already know) and I want to replace my back up drive with something that can actually back things up.

See, I've had that drive for while as a way to store and back up data from my previous drvie which was like 1.5 gigs at the time. Now I have a 60 gig drive that I've barely even dented and a 2.5gig backup just doesn't seem antiquate anymore. I'd like to get a 100 gig backup so I can have a nice wide comfort zone and enough room to store my pics and video.

Speaking of video, I would love to be able to make my own clips and screencaps. Maybe I should just break down and buy a Dell. They're going for pratically nothing right now. A brand new Dell computer... sounds sweet!

Peace, love, blessed it be.

Hi *waves*. As you can see, new layout is finally up. It's about damned time. I was sick of that Gerard Bulter Layout. I mean, I love the guy, but jeez! Enough already! This is my Samurai Champloo layout. It's one of my favorite Anime and it's from the makers of Cowboy Bebop and Wolf's Rain. I'm feeling it right now, but who knows how long that will last. By the way, this is as close as I'm going to get to a Christmas Layout, so enjoy it bitches! Hahahahaha!

Speaking of layouts that have been up way to long, I need to redo all my fanlistings. Some of those layouts have been up for like 2 years and shit! That is crazy... just sheer laziness. So, since I'm in a layout building mood, I figure I'll work on layouts for them too. I've already blown my Thanksgiving Vacation to shit.

Peace, Love and Blessed it be.

Hi *waves*. Okay so apparently working in Orange County is slowly killing me. I've had the allergy attack from hell for the last month and I've had two nose bleeds as well. Whats worse is, if my nose isn't bleeding, it constantly feels like it is, so I'm forever checking to make sure blood isn't trickling down my face. How horrible.

So, I didn't do any work on my domain sections this weekend. I didn't do anything this weekend to be honest. I just slept. I must have been super tired, cause I would sleep all night, then take a nap in the middle of the day, then sleep all night again. Very weird.

I'm also planning for Turkey Day as well. Those who are regulars already know I don't celebrate Thanksgiving because it goes against my Native American sensibility. I'd be disrepecting my ancestors if I did, so instead of thanksgiving, I'm having Turkey Day. All the food with none of the genocide. Very nice.

I'm practically broke, so it's going to take all I have to buy all the fixins' for Turkey Day and still have enough to see Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire. That kicked ass and took names this weekend at the box office. I'm desperate to see it... just desperate.

Alrighty, peace, love, blessed it be.

Hi *waves*. Yeah, it's been a while since I've posted, yet again. I just have to face the fact that I'm not one of those people who can sit down and post everyday. I actually think it has something to do with the fact that I sit in front of a computer all day at work. I think that has burnt me out, so when I get home the last thing I want to see is a computer screen. However, I still realize that design and the internet are a big part of my life. I had a growth spurt of the mind so to speak at the same time that I discovered this web design thing, so it's a part of me now. I would love nothing more than to sit around all day, just chillin' and designing my little heart out, but that is not real life.

As far as the domain goes, I'm not ready to shut LS down just yet. In fact I still can't imagine abandoning this domain. It's flippin' a part of me too. So, I've decided to get off my lazy ass and do something with this haunted house... like maybe some content. I know what you're thinking. How many times has she said that before, but I'm serious this time. I really need this to be more than just a blog cause as you can see, this blog ain't working out at the moment. Thanksgiving is coming, which means I have a 4 day weekend and unlike my job at Vons, I actually have weekends off. This means no need for make up decompression form the stress of working whenever and where ever. I have my weekends for that now.

Yes, I'm going to start as soon as today, fixing up my vacant menu bar and starting with The "Tiffany" Section. I'm not going to wait until I put up my new layout, cause there's no telling when that will be. So yes, tonight... or tomorrow morning after I sleep a bit. Yeah, that sounds like a plan. Sweet!

Hi *waves*. Wow, it's been so long since I posted, there's comment spam on my last entry. Very, very sad. I need to log into MT blacklist and take care of that when I get home.

So yeah, I'm writing this from my new position at Datacomm Solutions (soon to change their name to Intelligent Enterprise). It's been good although it was weird transitioning from the off the wall hours at Vons to the 8 to 5, monday through friday, 40hrs a week pace of an office job. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally feeling it. Steady paycheck and weekends off! It's fucking heaven.

I have been neglecting my web stuff though. It's been a really long time since I checked my e-mail or opened photoshop. I've just been adjusting and getting settled and I haven't really felt like getting online. I'll have to do something about that though.

Anyway, a new layout is coming and I've promised myself that I would open at least one domain section in the next three weeks. I have to task myself and just get it over with.

Alright, gotta go. Peace, Love, Blessed it be.
