Whee!
I didn't do a stitch of writing, and it's already 3AM here! What exactly did I do?

I got IIS on my computer upstairs a couple of days ago. (Okay, yesterday, but whatever.) I decided, hey, it'd be cool to host my story here while I develop the plot a bit more. Free reign experimentation with PHP and MySQL and such. I had forgotten how much of a pain setting up PHP with IIS is without using the CGI executeable. I gave IIS sveral slaps upside its MS-programmed head before I found out how to fix it. So now, here's the cool part: \\HSRESQ is a full-fledged WIMP server! (I know, that sounds hilarious. Windows, IIS, MySQL, PHP is the acronym) It's great to be able to experiment with the various things I can do with these nifty tools before I actually submit them to the web. My only concern is that I'll have to export tables from MySQL and back into MySQL on my webhost's server when I finish experimenting. Who knows? Maybe I'll even get \\HSRESQ to serve it EVERYWHERE!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!! I doubt it, since Cox has limits on how much bandwidth we can use per month, even if it is ridiculously high. Not that it'd be high traffic, but if they notice a lot of HTTP_GET requests coming to us, they might be curious... I just had to post that to throw an evil laugh in there. :)

So, other than convert my personal computer (that I don't use much anymore) into a WIMP(y) server, I played DDR and realized I still suck at it. I played EA's Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 and, again, realized I still suck. Then I started using the Remote Desktop Connection to set up my computer.

Our fridge is nearly empty. It's hilarious. We had hamburgers, corn, and some onion, tomato, and cucumber salad-y thing. Our dishwasher also went from consuming water to consuming food, automatic to manual. Our dishwasher went kaput. My dad says the part to fix it costs half as much as a new one altogether, so we might be getting a new dishwasher.

Speaking of new, rumor around this basement today was that my dad was looking at family cell phone plans with Moto RAZRs as the phones. :):):):) I want another cell phone again... mine is old, dead, and had a terrible service provider.

Well, like most posts, I end this late. But I have another grammar question. In fact, two.

Grammar Question: What is the proper way to write a characters thoughts in a story?
Grammar Question: What is the difference between saying "she lays" and "she lies" when speaking of someone being in the horizontal position?
