It’s nice to know that I shouldn’t have bothered sending a second email inquiring over a fanlisting as the girl was too rude to send out rejection emails or close/update the adoption thread. I could’ve saved myself a week’s stress if I had seen the post from the girl who got it sooner. Thanks a bloody lot.

My day was going splendidly before that however. It’s gorgeous out, I’m very ready for spring and summer. Rain is nice and all, but I vastly prefer the storms of the desert where you see shapely dark clouds coming miles away, with thunder and lightning and then they’re gone within a couple days, to the boring pale gray skies that last for many days at a time. I love rain clouds in the sky but only when there’s form to them, different shades so you see distinct cloud shapes rather than one shade across the sky (which is very boring).

I dropped my American Government 2 class(MW) earlier today as I went yesterday and found 50% of the material will be the same thing as AG1. Since I don’t need the class and I do have many classes I do need for my GE transfer requirement, I signed up for Speech 120, interpersonal communication or some crap. At least it’s not public speaking.

And today I went to Philosophy of Religion and Conceptual Physics and I’m very excited. The Phil class was in an actual lecture room, I didn’t even know our community college had those. The teacher was super nice and sweet and seems like she’ll provide extensive and in-depth lectures. She uses big words I’m not quite always positive what they mean @_@ And my Physics class was a very tiny room with six big tables, close together, and the teacher was very friendly. He has a very enthusiastic love of Physics and proceeded to tell us his college experience and career background. I started reading the Physics book last week and it’s fascinating. So I expect these will be really tough classes but interesting enough I’ll actually do the homework. Which is a lot of reading, yay!

Homework = Reading is the best

Book of the Month Club is evil. Today was the first day of school and I need to change the Monday/Wednesday class because half of it will be the same as last semester and I’d really feel like I’m wasting time and money if I do it. So tomorrow morning I’ll check of English 120 is open at that time (which I’m sure it’s not) and if not I’ll take the damn Speech class ‘cuz it fulfills my GE requirement. At least it’s not public speaking, ick.

In other news I won’t ever get to detailing my account of the week of Dec 16 ‘cuz it was too long ago and I don’t wanna think about it. I did get some lovely stuff for Christmas though it was as hectic as can be.

Ahhhhh!! Terry Pratchett will have 4 new books out this year. Well, probably 4, maaaybe only 3 (one was actually supposed to come out last September). I’m going to spend the day doing some web stuff. I think I’ll convert my fanlistings to Enthusiast, it looks easier than what I currently use especially with multiple approving and automatic member updates. Mmm. I need some new icons also, something other than Johnny Depp (I had a dream with him in it the other night @_@) but I don’t know what yet. And I’ll work on a new look for the Discworld fanlisting, some skins.

I’ve been on a fanlistings craze too. I just feel ready to play with them and give them some love. I’m quite pleased that the Pixies and the A Perfect Circle fanlistings look much better than before, the APC fanlisting was in desperate need of fixing up especially the members list. Glad I don’t have to be annoyed with the owners anymore. Ah well, more later, really.

Oh a couple quick things before I hit the hay ‘cuz I gotta get up early to spend the day at the Fairfield mall eating, shopping, and watching movies.

I added six (or was it seven?) new funny images to the fun stuff section, at the bottom of the list of course. I also finished the fanlisting for Louis XIV (the band) and am super pleased with the layout so take a look if only for that. Mmm red. I’m working on a website to archive my art, the old drawings I used to have displayed here, my layouts archive, and the digital art I’ve been doing in Adobe PS class. There are a couple pieces I’m in love with so where else can they be displayed. It might take me a couple weeks yet to put it up. I want it to be in databases but I’m not sure on the organization yet. Ahh and on Thursday I’ll talk about my weird week of the 16th.

So my domain disappeared for nearly a week. Why? Because the registration expired. Simple enough right? Except nobody told me. Here I am freaking out because the Whois information says it expires November 2005 so I don’t know what happened. I mail Netrillium and realize I should be mailing Enom since Netrillium registered my name through them. Netrillium points the finger at Enom. Enom points the finger at Netrillium. And nobody says “Gee, sorry. We must’ve entered the information in wrong and we’re very sorry for not having emailed you that the expiration is coming up like a good DNR site (all the ones I’ve had email me) is supposed to.”

Yea, thanks. I don’t care that my domain is down, nobody can join the fls, and that the 3 people I’ve told to email me at my BTN address about some stuff won’t be able to contact me because I gave them an address I use for non-spammers. No really, who cares about little things like that?

I just noticed today that my Little Prince fell off my keyring. And it must’ve been yesterday at least in which case I hope I can find it near my grandma’s house. If not then it’s probably around the college somewhere. I’m sure I had it on Friday though as I left class… *sigh* I was really fond of that key ornament. And I have no idea where my sister got it, someone gave it and another one to her mine being the Little Prince in his princely costume with sword and hers being the Little Prince in his pale outfit with green scarf and the fox by his side.

I clogged up the drain on Friday and my mom and I are still having a jolly time unclogging it with a whole bottle of Dran-o and a not-very-useful snake. We looked at two houses today and I really liked both in different ways. The biggest problem is bathrooms thanks to my sister, Kristin. She needs her own bathroom but even though she has her own bathroom now she doesn’t bloody well use it because a) she’s left enormous amounts of clothes and junk in there, b) thanks to said clothes lying on the floor the cats have no conniptions about using the bathroom as a kittybox, c) she hasn’t bothered to clean it since then or keep it clean after my mom’s cleaned it for her several times and it smells horrid, and d) she comes into our bathroom to use so many of our things and we yell at her for not putting said things back(she can use them but we can’t if we don’t know where they are) so she probably figures she’ll just get ready in our bathroom where those things are. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

The second house is kind of out in the boonies and it’s adorable with a lovely wood floor and interesting large enough bedrooms… and one small bathroom with the smallest bathtub(that’s still a shower) I’ve ever seen. Kristin also needs her own bathroom because she likes to sit in the damn thing for so long plucking her eyebrows or taking a bath. We shouldn’t bother taking her to see it.

The first house has one bathroom and two half bathrooms one of which is downstairs while all three bedrooms are upstairs. If we take that house, I’m thinking Kristin can have the slightly smaller second bedroom that’s near the small half-bathroom because she sure as hell can’t claim the bathroom with the shower/bathtub as her own. Who knows what kind of mess it’ll turn into. I can take the small small small bedroom and have my beautiful computer downstairs in the um kitchen nook thing. It’s a nice place but because of our cats the deposit will be twice the rent! Can my aunt and grandmother really cover us for $3000? @_@ Stupid expensive Napa. It’s as close to downtown as we are now though and has two very spacious walk-in closests. Of course the small bedroom doesn’t get one…

I didn’t get the Simpsons fanlisting or the Wonderfalls fanlisting. I think I rambled and begged way too much on The Simpsons application, whereas the Wonderfalls owner might’ve come across as the bigger fan and better fanlisting owner? I’m pretty sure not being on the ball quite often with my fls last year hasn’t helped me any. I’d like to rework The Network fanlisting into a fansite but I’ll need some recruits as I suck at news and content. I’ve looked around the Network Message board and they seem to be very tightnit. What does it say about me as a fan if I don’t keep up on all the news and go to message boards to talk with other fans? I mean, some of my most favorite things I barely ever dive into the fandom and fansites. Like the Beatles, the Simpsons, South Park, the X-Files. If I do it’s because it’s related to web design and graphics (like Tere’s Art) or completely informational. I think I use the internet to fill my fix. I get a good dose of these things normally. Harry/Draco, I can only satisfy online. I need the internet to connect with other fans because I can’t ever find any without it. “I’d say Lizzy/Darcy should be quite high on the greatest romantic couples in literature but I’m really keen on Harry/Draco too.” That’ll work.

I was joining fanlistings in the games category yesterday so I had the sudden urge to play either Monkey Island 3 or Day of the Tentacles. But I’ve only played DotT once or twice and MI3 three or four times and less than a year ago so I ran to my grandma’s and asked Jeremy for DotT. Of course he couldn’t find it, I must’ve asked about it awhile ago because that sounds familiar… I stayed up until 5am playing Monkey Island 4 for the first time. The graphics weren’t as bad as I thought they would be. I was very fond of the cartoon look in 3, but they’re still cartoony in a way. Elaine’s voice isn’t as cool and everything isn’t quite as funny… Where’s Murray?! But it’s fun and I’ll finish it tonight. But first must set the vcr to record Simpsons and then eat some ice cream. Mmmm…

OMG!!!!!! The Simpsons fanlisting is open for application!!! It’s been open since February 24!!!!!!!! Holy crap, I barely ever pay attention to the animation category because I never expected my absolutely favorite fls to be removed!! THE SIMPSONS!!!!!!!! I told my sister, my fellow Simpsons nut, and she’s just like “uh ok…”. If she actually cared about fanlistings or remembered what they were she’d be ready to burst too, the brat =P

Why does UPN keep having to play the same episodes though? It’s not worth having Simpsons on 3 times a day when they just recycle the fls they used a few weeks, even a few days before! I’d rather have two Simpsons less-aired episodes a day instead of three I just watched. They changed the time from 4:30 back to the old 6:00 though which is kinda nice. I liked having something to watch at 4:30 though ^_^ Means I don’t have to wait as long for some Simpsons. Let’s see… yesterday was the lights one with guest star John Cleese where Lisa gets Springfield to turn off all lights at night. And the Moe and Maggie episode. And… what was the other? I can’t remember now! The day before was the one where Moe makes his tavern more hip.

“I’m dying, Moe.”
“Uh gee, I’m sorry Professor. Is there anything I can do?”
“Not really, unless you have a cure for cancer.” All hopeful “Do you have a cure for cancer?”

Hmm new episode on Sunday. The last one had a very loooong opening which I didn’t get on tape Coulda been better but it was nice nonetheless. Bringing Arty Ziff around again was a good move, he’s so lecherous

Ooooh South Park’s Kyle fl is available… No must resist, I wouldn’t get it anyway. Ooooh but it’s Kyle… Heh, the new South Park was awesome. Sooooo funny, I loved the anime style ninja stuff. And the end? A smack to the half-time show. Why do you people get so worked up about sex… excuse me, nudity more than violence.

Ahhh Kyle… no, don’t want to overburden the staffer anymore so… but Kyle and Cartman are my fave South Parkers although I like Kyle more in a way because let’s face it, Cartman’s evil. If you ever had any doubt just watch the Scott Tenorman Must Die episode and wish you didn’t.

My mom just suggested I look online to see about selling some of my comics for easy money. My comics!! I didn’t buy them to collect them, I bought them to read them so none of them are in absolute perfect shape. And how long ago was the first one I got? 11 years? Granted I do have a copy of X-Men #1, second series, but I don’t think those are too rare a thing. Just because I don’t have a job right now doesn’t mean I’ll give those babies up for only a bit of money :X

I’ve been on a Daria kick the last three days. Downloading episodes, reading fanfiction, and all in all desperately missing the show because I don’t get Mtv and even when I still did 2 years ago, the time slot kept changing on me. Grrr.

I’ve finished joining all actors fanlistings, well the ones that were up anyway. No Tim Robbins fl, a very sucky Tony Shalhoub fl, and John Leguizamo fl not working. I’m not even a sixth of the way through f/hlists I want to join. I’ve made a few more Discworld buttons which makes around 20 new buttons since last Friday but I still want to add a lot more. I’ve agreed to host another fanlisting because let’s face it X-Men Fanart is cool. All my fanart growing up until I was 13 was for X-Men, particularly the girls because I’ve always sucked at drawing the guys. So that makes two hostees, the Dave Chappelle Show hostee hasn’t gotten the fl up but she has a lot of fls to work on. I know how that goes ¬_¬

Last Wednesday we of the… oh I might as well say it… Napa Town Hall(four of us anyway) met to discuss the website. Tomorrow I’ll be setting up a basic look as we won’t work with images until our Sunday meeting and playing around with forum and databases. As with most of my sites, our biggest worry is content, specifically news. Bruce wants a lot of news but he knows he’s not always on the ball for it. He thinks maybe he could get some teachers to have their students research a topic and we could use that information. Hey, as long as my class isn’t doing it. All my news comes from the net and Mr. Keller is iffy about net sources.

So, last night I watched Tru Calling while on the computer of course. It seems to be improving a little bit but it still… lacks. Surprisingly enough, it’s been renewed for a second season. Maybe they think it’ll improve without Friends around. So afterwards I caught the first episode of Wonderfalls. I had meant to watch it on Friday but I completely forgot of course. I never remember to watch shows unless I make it a habit. But wow the show is so good!!!!! I don’t know why but I keep thinking of The 10th Kingdom when I see commercials for it. Maybe it’s the theme music and “magic” element? The main character Jaye is written and acted delightfully and the story reminds me of Tru Calling but it’s done so much better! It’s quirky and not too fast-paced. It’s only the first episode so here’s to it not getting stale! Ah, I remember now! The last one-hour tv show, well any show that’s not purely comedy, that had me hooked was Monk and that was… over a year ago. When did it come out… maybe it was two years ago? I miss Monk. Why’d ABC sell it to USA? Damn them!!
