good gracious.
currently listening to Beautiful Mistake by ’Better than Ezra’. and have had beautiful You and I Both by Jason Mraz stuck in my head as of late. must get the non-acoustic version soon.
interesting to have internet working. bad that i’m incredulous/impressed/pleased with that. the spoiled living in luxury are pitifully poor once having lost the accessories they once never dreamed of.
must it always be such a battle to simply have consistent access online? and what’s up with the spontaneous restarts my computer’s been doing? the authoritative programs claim i don’t have a virus.. norton and i’ve not got along lately, so i can’t run a complete system check that way…
in the midst of considering job opportunities/offers/possibilities right now… am sukoshi frizzed.
i guess i’ll find out. ‘grabbed a couple books from the library today, since i was there with mom.. i have discovered the 000 section. best section ever. where all the computer stuff is, and books on god and astrology and psychic stuff and past lives and all the fun/useful/good stuff. but 25890345897819 books on photoshop, but not one on illustrator. so far, i don’t understand illustrator. i should work on trying to… what with the new intuos2 and all.. :)
p.s. i’m going to london in a week :)
i began, yesterday, to revamp the site in terms of this whole ‘web standards’ business that all my idol sites are about.. so i’m doing what i can to veer away from tables, and trying to more rapidly digest and impress css into my whole thinking and implementation… so far, it seems that to properly do that, i’ll have to at least lightly redseign it while i’m at it. i don’t want to change too much tho… i shouldn’t have to. but yes.. i dunno how much time i’ll get to focus on that in this week…
i’m going to london. :) bahbe’s taking me. for our anniversary/valentine’s day. i’ve never been to europe.. i figure it’s about time. it was gonna happen eventually, and will happen again in the future, but why not a brief interlude now, with the one person i’ll be happy to go away with. it’ll be good. no, it’ll be really good. i’m gonna go eat chocolate chip cookies right now, just to punctuate that. !
i will to bed, very soon. a couple briefs before i go, tho..
it is sooo past my bedtime, again. but the double batch of chocolate chip cookies is made, and well.. and there’s a darling already sleeping who i’ll call soon once i’m finally in bed…
i’m almost afraid to jot a note on here about how i might finally see europe sooner than later… the last time i actually posted on here that it was going to happen, i ended up taking it down within seconds because minds changed. thing is, i don’t have the funds to do it right now. but the timing is well enough.. i can get things squared up here quickly, before leaving.. and then upon return, launch into job-searching (i’m thinking i’d like to look into temporary positions for a meanwhile.. for personal experience and exposure, and also to imagine that i could work a bit more on learning for such projects as rasasayang and other..). so..
and the other issues have not been talked out, but i’ll generally welcome a change of scenery, especially with the right company, and the premise that what one might specifically need is to ’get away’ for a while, is very sensible.. and this is a realistic thing to do. as long as afterward there isn’t extra stress about the smaller stash of cash, and such..
by the way, css fascinates me. i’ve so much to learn…
sleep now.. think later…. i wonder what dreams will seek me tonight…
i am informed that today is the 33rd day into the year, and that there are 333 days left, making it a magical day. i had to pause a bit to do the calculations in my head.. it’s not that i didn’t believe the math.. i was just trying to make sense of 33 and 333 adding up to 365. unless it’s a leap year. i checked my calendar. why hasn’t anyone at all yet mentioned in my presence that this year is a leap year? that prolly changes more than just the significance of the 33rd day.
i had lots of dreams last night. or early this morning. prolly early this morning. i was in bed around 11pm.. and attempted to sleep around 12:30am.. but didn’t fall asleep til prolly near 3am.. and i know i was awake again around 6am.
my old neighbor was in my dreams.. in two of them, i think.. i only really remember the first one, now.. a large tent canopy outside… he and one of his friends i don’t know, and lor, were playing with a ball outside.. (our house).. but they were playing rough, and leaving holes in the canopy. i came out and told them off, but came short of telling them they would have to show responsibility and definitely replace the tent, phyiscally and financially. i mulled in my head that if i didn’t like him so much (friend), i would have been more direct when he asked carelessly, “well what do you want/expect us to do?”
in the other dream, the last thing that was said, he said to the other guy who was his friend/roommate.. we were all doing journals of some sort (like the japanese ones we kept in tokyo, i think), and i had been handed back one of mine.. but there were supposed to be two. i hadn’t done the other one cuz it should have involved the guy and he had made himself unavailable or something, i guess. the assignment, btw, had something to do with religion, but i don’t recall now. my old neighbor prodded his friend/roommate to come through as he should, and do the assignment with me. he commented to his friend, for having already failed to have done so, “(just) wait for God to punish you.”
i received two waking phone calls. and my mother burst into my room at one point, looking for her cordless phone.. which, it turns out, was somewhere on her bed back in her room, where she had left it. i wonder if my dad picked up the chocolate chips this morning like he said he would (i guess when he dropped lor at school..), so i can make the poor chocochipcookies that have been waiting, as dough, to be baked for the last few days. (mom said to make them without the chocochips. i insist that a key ingredient of chocolate chip cookies is that it has chocolate chips in it. she says i’m inflexible.)
i guess i would consider noting a bit about the contents of my thoughts from last night, and those related from the past few days/the past few months.. but.. i don’t think i’m ready yet. i’m gonna go see about those cookies. i’m glad there’s sunshine today.
this site is looking a mess. all the entries are basically blurby comments to myself… eventually this will all have to get properly organized and neatened and maybe thinned or consolidated or something i do like that it’s moving along, though. i also like that the federal govt did shut down midway through the day today, and that the affected persons are clearly pleased about it. i get a chocolate.
alright, so i didn’t even really try to sleep early/at a decent hour this time…
no one was around to keep me company and therefore encourage me to also sleep, and even so, my plan was to work on the contentsub concept page up til about 2am, tops. but i got really stuck with two errors on it.. and it’s now pretty much 4:30am and i still don’t have one of the errors solved (the last, stupid thing.. the double vertical line up at the top displays properly in IE, but not in opera… which is a bit of a turnaround, since everything else has been looking even better in opera than in IE…). but i’m gonna toss that for tonight, and try to resist trying to fix it first thing in my day. i really do have other things to work on. and i have been. i just don’t get stuck on them like on this. there’s some passion here; self-motivated anyway..it has to be; there’s no other motivation for this.
i’m gonna have to clean my room eventually.
g’night. (the really sucky thing is, i’m tired, but not sleepy. so despite the unhappy hour, i’ll prolly be awake, lying in bed fora while.. again.)
boo to the snow that does not shovel itself. especially those particular snows that blanket the world’s longest driveway, and don’t even bother to shut down the federal government so that deserving people can stay home from work. 
bad snow. bad.
not really anything specific to say right now… i haven’t been drinking much water lately, and especially today. it hasn’t started properly snowing yet, as far as i know; need it to snow much to shut down government for at least tomorrow so that much-loved people can get much-deserved rest. and i’m gonna go get some water now.
