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!!

So I did get TTM up but not til Saturday. I made a few new codes but I wasn’t feeling very inspired at the time. Right now I very much want to work on HD.net but I know as soon as I start I’ll go until 3am, climb in bed, and keep thinking about it and I’ve got a few things to do tomorrow. Luckily no class in the morning. I never ever go to bed early enough to get 8 hours of sleep before Human Geography. But it’s only a 50 minute class so I go back to bed half the time.

I’ll work on coding later. I’m going scan The Last Hero so I can have a lot more Discworld images to work with. I’ve been trying to stem out and get various characters and TLH has quite a few of the wizards particularly Rincewind, Vetinari, the Librarian, and Cohen and his crew. And yet I still haven’t read it! C’mon it’s a picture book, I’ve been distracted by the visuals. But hey, the tfl-approved Terry Pratchett fl is up! Yay!! Once I get more TTM codes up and some book information I’ll scourge TFL for more affiliates.

I’ve also gotten around to rejoining some fanlistings but it’s slow progress. I’ve touched two different categories (Actors and Books) and haven’t finished either yet.

Finally finished something. Which would be the FoxTrot fl. I’m not very happy with it but it’s up and functioning so I can work on other things. Namely The Turtle Moves which will be back up in a few hours. I’m coding the layout right now, need to rework the buttons and members codes. I just want the fanlisting back up and functioning, I can’t keep putting off because I want a bunch of book information. For now, I’ll get the fanlisting back up and then next week I’ll scan my loverly The Last Hero book I got a few months ago, make a bunch more codes because I barely have any for the witches and none for Rincewind or the other wizards and that’s just sad. And then after that I’ll see about series information. So much to do…

Last night, I stayed up until 3 working on the Foxtrot fanlisting, got through editing the coding, making new buttons, uploading them in the database, and started on the layout. But I got too tired to concentrate on the tediousness of erasing. I didn’t actually turn off my bedroom light until 6am because although very tired, I desperately wanted to read some sort of non-cheesy interesting romance, happy ending or not. So I grabbed the two fantasy adult fairy tale collections and Northanger Abbey. I had forgotten how cool Henry Tilney is. Oh dear god, it’s Ruffi the Raffi knockoff on Simpsons. Ehhh I’ll write a better entry tomorrow…

Oooooooooooooh my god, I lost all my databases for six hours there. I had saved the guestbook and fanbase both on BTN and MF on February 16th but I’ve edited some of them quite a bit since then. I hadn’t saved the HD database with all the emails of people interested in a new H/D nor all the domain info like the fun reads and my owned stuff. Oooooooh that was scary. I don’t know if was a response by Netrillium to my Wordpress script or what but they just said “the MySQL connection is back” and voila, there are my databases. I think I’ll be making backups two or three times a week now…

So did you miss me? Stop laughing. Well I was going to put BTN back up sooner but I decided to forget the Daniel Quinn-esque large horizontal layout that I made over a year ago that I was gonna use after reading more about CSS and finally understanding what I wasn’t doing with css and jumped to tableless coding. I’m in love! Tableless layouts are amazing. A List Apart is so helpful. I’m such a sucker for pastel rainbows and wanted a unique H/D layout. Everybody and their dog would have a PoA layout but I’m the only one with the picture above. Or at least it’s not in any HP gallery anywhere on the net.

Now I’ll be working on signing up with all my past cliques and rings in case I’m not on there, and putting up the joined listings. Of course, I’ll have to figure out how I’m configuring the listings, I want subcategories on some of them, hmm…

Ah yes, I completely forgot what else I was going to post. Damnit. Something I wanted to add… Aha! Jen and I are having an Alan Rickman marathon on Friday, yay! She’s a huge AR nut where as I really really like him, love him, but then I love a lot of actors. Johnny Depp, Edward Norton, Cate Blanchett, Liam Neeson, Christina Ricci, and so on. We’re certainly not watching Die Hard, I will never sink to that, or Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, it hasn’t been enough years for that. But I can cook our dinner during Dogma because I just watched that a month with all the extra stuff *squees dvd special edition* and I so want to watch Sense and Sensibility again, I just wish he was in it more. Jen hasn’t seen Galaxy Quest and I think we’ll be renting several others we haven’t seen like Rasputin(mm Ian Mckellan), Mesmer, Blow Dry, and Truly Madly Deeply. Harry Potter is its own marathon for PoA…

After that I think we need a Johnny Depp marathon because I haven’t seen half his movies. I’ve got the ones I have watched frozen in my brain nearly frame by frame so we really don’t need them in the marathon… ¬_¬ The idea of an Ed Norton marathon pops to my head but his movies are always so drastically heavy I’m really not in the mood to watch any of them again right now.
