   So much for that...

Things of mine to see:

---

I told you I was going to update the style of the site -- I was thinking today sometime -- but I ended up not. Here's about what I did do, excluding boring things like eating...

1. Play DDR (some)
2. Tried to find solder to fix DDR pad controller plug thingy
3. Got burned by hot soldering iron that my dad put back after trying to melt plumbing solder with it. Pulled back arm, nearly cussed. Stomped into kitchen and ran the tap over it. Thought of hitting faucet because it made it hurt more.
4. Looked more for solder. Gave up.
5. Watched Cellular on tape.
6. Fixed the plug with electrics tape and telephone wire. Called it good enough.
7. Played more DDR.
8. Checked email, visited sites, decided I was too lazy to comment, started this post.

How "exciting", huh? Anyways, it's time for:

I wish I had a laptop. When I get a job, the first thing I'm getting after I get the camera I want is my 17" MacBook Pro. It's been so long since I last used a Mac, it only makes me want one more... The silence in my room almost makes me miss the fan whirring and hard drive whine... *sigh* now anyone walking by can see what I'm doing over my shoulder. Ugh.

lol I could be there and not know any popular fads... Of course, I just live and don't know any popular fads! :P

As for the answer to that, I would tell you if you're a "winnar" or not, but I think I'm not going to say anything until I have set the style. ;)

Benzaiten:

Yeah, Kitsune told me about that. I remember that she even showed me the post she left as she was finally giving up on them.... Such a sad occurrence ... :( I wish there was a way to report them, but the way the chatroom thing is run, I can't. The whole chatroom is administered by a company that just hands these things out like candy, so there's probably millions of these things and there's just no way that I have seen to report anyone, otherwise that place would be about ten times nicer...

I'll tell you the same thing I told DemyxNoctureSitar about the guess of the background: I don't think I'm going to say who was correct until I set it up here.

So, now my wireless headphones are having problems, so I think I'm going to switch them out and charge them. I'm gonna get my cool $100 BlueTooth ones that have a half-second delay between when the sound is played and when you hear it. This I discovered playing DDR because I failed a song I normally get A* on, and I know it wasn't me. :(

Anyways, yeah. I'm gonna switch my headphones out and get working on the theme I still need to make up. I know, it's bad that I haven't even started.

*howls* :)

EDIT: 2:30 AM and I haven't even started yet! IEWW!! I got distracted with chatting and waiting to install an old audio card in my computer.... Grr... My how time flies when you're sifting through pages of confusing and not-so-well-written documentation. Here was my mission: Connect the front panel Microphone and Headphone jacks to an old Creative Labs AWE64 ISA sound card. I looked up on their site, which had screwy hookups for each source individually. Not one nice plug space, but four or five plus the digital audio jack thing that I don't use. I finally got it all working though, thank god. But now I have to try to start on my theme. There's going to be JavaScript, so I have to test it with zillions of browsers so I know it works somewhere other than just Firefox.

EDIT: I started working on the style thing now. If things go well and nothing happens Sunday, I should have it up late Sunday, in time for the "Monday" dated post. Wish me luck all! If it weren't 4:12 AM now, I'd keep working, but it is, so I need to clean up here before I can go to bed.

Anyways, this is it for this post. Finally. I promise, no more edits!
