Grrreat… I happened to find myself on CodeGrrl.com when I discover that the method I’ve been using to convert my site to php is susceptible to hackers. FABULOUS. I use dynamic inclusion on all of my sites! So now instead of writing my Tuesday TV commentary, I better start fixing code…
Oh, but wait — to go along with my previous entry, the Dawson’s Creek Season 3 DVDs are available for pre-order! Score!
I just deleted a layout. That I was about to upload.
🙁
UGH. I can’t believe I did that. I worked so hard on it too.
As for some good news, my awesome boyfriend downloaded the Sex and the City finale for me. I think I have to watch that now so I can stop thinking about all my hard work down the drain…
*wallows in self-pity*
Took me forever but here they are… Bend it Like Beckham caps. Yes, it’s the entire movie — 712 caps. Guh. I adore the movie but I highly doubt I’m ever going to do that again, lol.
I need to get out of my apartment tomorrow. Heh.
Yay! 🙂 It’s e-l.net’s 2nd birthday! Whee! *sprinkles confetti all around*
(Wow. I’m really not much for the blogging lately, huh? :P)
OMG. I seriously want to kill Gallery. My boyfriend is trying to help me reinstall it for High Anxiety and let me tell you, it is A ROYAL PAIN IN THE ASS. The stupid thing won’t work correctly. I’m *so* close to chucking it out and trying to find some other photo image gallery. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’ve heard of 4 images and Adobe Web Gallery — does anyone know anything about them? Like if they can easily be installed? I need something pretty much fool-proof or I’m liable to bash my head on the wall in frustration. 😛
There was a bright side to this weekend though —
Michelle Kwan won her 8th national title!!!!!!!!!
🙂
I’m so happy for her. She’s my all-time favorite figure skater and she was positively amazing in her long program. She landed all her jumps flawlessly and her artistry was, as usual, top-notch. I always get tears in my eyes when I watch her skate a perfect program. Silly, I know. I really really really hope to see her take on the Olympics in 2006 and finally win that gold medal.
I finally enjoyed an episode of Friends in who knows how long… Joey was SO funny. Joey doesn’t share food! BWAH. And Ross’s pink shirt! I was dying. That shirt was awful. And can I LOVE Chandler anymore?!? He was so sweet when he was talking about wanting the baby. Awww. Chandler rocks. I didn’t think I really would be so sad about this being the last season but now with all the promos… 🙁
You know, I seem to be the only person who doesn’t watch Joan of Arcadia. Humph. Every time I read people’s blogs, they seem to be gushing over the latest episode. I feel so left out. But seriously, Fridays are not good! I don’t watch TV on Fridays. It’s a… thing. Or something. Guess I’ll have to attempt the download route if I want to be one of the cool kids. 😀
Ooohhh… yay for new Smallville this week! If you’ve seen the promos (or read spoilers), then you know that there’s going to be a guest star and I cannot wait! Hee. [edit] If you want to know who…
Yay! Pacey and Joey. I love Pacey and Joey. 😀
Finally a new layout. I have been itching to do something new around here but I have been so busy (read: extremely lazy). Heh. At first, I wanted to do more of a holiday layout — I was so close to scanning one of my holiday cards (an adorable snowman) to use but then I started digging around all the pictures I have saved on my hard drive and I came across this one. I *love love love* this picture of Pacey and Joey (it’s the picture that Dawson gave Joey for Christmas in season 4’s Self-Reliance) and it is a bit Christmas-y so… yeah.
Now I just need the inspiration to work on my other sites…
Doing the Seven on Sunday:
1. A song by a new favorite – Why Can’t I Breathe by Liz Phair
2. A song by an old favorite – Push by Matchbox 20
3. An oldie but goodie – Kokomo by The Beach Boys
4. A shamelessly admitted favorite – Where is the Love by The Black Eyed Peas
5. A sheepishly admitted favorite – Crazy in Love by Beyonce
6. A cover worthy of it’s original version – Have a Little Faith in Me by Mandy Moore
7. A holiday favorite – Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays by N Sync (Hey! No laughing! :P)
Work tomorrow. Don’t make me go! *sigh*
… so I’m back.
The downtime and server trouble is one long frustrating story that I just don’t want to get into right now. Blah. *So* not what I needed right now what with the holidays approaching and work causing enough stress. Sadly I lost a few months of blog entries but no sites or databases. Phew… my paranoia pays off finally. I’m just so sad that some of my hostees lost their files — I hope no one is too mad at me. I feel responsible. 🙁 Bad server.
Anyway, I turned the downtime into a mini-hiatus for myself. I wasn’t on the internet as much as I usually am and I actually had the time to do stuff I keep telling myself I have to do like clean out my exploding closet, bring donations to Goodwill, make my travel arrangements for the holidays, etc. I also found myself watching tons of movies — I saw…
— Love Actually — RAVE! I adore this movie — Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman… need I say more? 😉
— Elf — Another RAVE! Too funny. “Santa! I know him!” Bwah. Will Ferrell rocks.
— Matrix Revolutions — Errr. I’m torn. It was a good movie but as the ending to the trilogy? A little disappointing, I have to say.
— Scary Movie 3 — Funny but totally forgettable. Cool cameos though.
— Gangs of New York — I’ve heard so many bad reviews about this movie but I really enjoyed it. Leo and Daniel Day-Lewis were excellent.
— Terminator 3 — Meh. I expected more — and all I got was a set up for T4. I watched this and kept thinking, “omg, Arnold is going to be the governor of my state in a few days.” So weird.
I think that’s it. OH! OMG! I finally downloaded the new Harry Potter trailer. Eeee! It has a really haunting feel to it. I wish it was June already, lol.
But for now, I’m just excited for tomorrow — right after work, I’m going to head over to Best Buy to pick up the new Britney album (yes, I’m a Britney fan :P), the extended edition of Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, and hopefully the season 1 DVD set of The West Wing. After tomorrow I’m not going to have any money left for Christmas presents! Hehe.
And I’m off to catch up on my dailies… it’s been so long…
So I did it. I went and made myself a wallpaper site — I’ve named it A Drop in the Ocean and it’s located here. Please visit! 🙂
A TV meme-thing that I stole from Cat and Nicola…
Name every show you watch, and favorite character on each.
Alias – Sydney
The Practice – Eugene
Everwood – Ephram and Colin (DON’T make me choose! I can’t!)
BtVS – Buffy
Gilmore Girls – Lane
Smallville – Lana
Dawson’s Creek – Jen
Friends – Chandler
Sex and the City – Charlotte
American Dreams – Meg
Doing that survey made me realize just how much I miss new TV. Rerun season is awful for TV junkies like me. But I won’t have to wait too much longer — I am eagerly waiting the August 5th premiere of O.C. on FOX. I mean, Mischa Barton! And Adam Brody! Whee.
In other news of my weekend, I went and read spoilers for Everwood. I KNOW! Gah. I am so disappointed in myself. I can’t believe I did that — it’s one of the few shows I don’t spoil myself for because it’s just that good, you know?
WARNING: DO NOT READ IF YOU WANT TO REMAIN UNSPOILED FOR EVERWOOD —
Yay for new layouts! I love Harry Potter but the previous layout depressed me a little. It was just getting too dark and depressing. I was craving something simpler and brighter so… ta-da! The drawing I used is of my college alma mater, UC Berkeley. I scanned the picture from my graduation announcements, lol. I was getting a little nostalgic the other day as I was looking through old pictures and college memorabilia so I thought I could pay homage to that time in my life with my new layout. Anyway, I know the layout won’t mean anything to anyone else but I hope you all like it anyway. 🙂
I’ve also taken the “Art” section of the site out, which used to house all my wallpapers. I’m not sure what I want to do with them. I’ll still update here in my blog when I’ve made a new one but I don’t like having them here anymore. Maybe I’ll create some sort of wallpaper archive. Err… maybe. I don’t know.
I also want to plug my former hostee Cindy — she has her own domain now so please visit!
