BubblesSOC

i somehow managed to break my computer again… and i’m really scared i lost everything.  i should’ve learned to make backups on a regular basis, but there’s no use crying over spilled milk.  i don’t know of anyone who has had as many problems with their powerbook as i have.  i’m beginning to wonder if i’m cursed when it comes to computers… maybe i should change my major and go to school for another 6 years???

So, I was living in an apartment complex located just off the interstate on a bluff overlooking a valley. Nestled beside the valley to the northwest of the complex was an active volcano that had recently started erupting, spewing ash and rock into the air dreadfully close to my apartment. I was concerned for my fellow tenants, so I went door to door alerting them of the volcano. To the east on an even higher ledge was another apartment complex which I apparently owned. I offered rooms to my neighbors until after the eruption. After packing my car full of my most important belongings, I noticed that the valley below was rapidly filling with lava, but it was a beautiful sight! My blog readers would be proud because I remember thinking to myself, ‘I need to take a picture of this to post on my website!’ On one trip to my car, I spotted my friend, Aaron, who was too busy packing his car to say hello

For some reason that I cannot recall, I had to drive down the interstate, but I forgot to bring Pixie and my parakeets! In my haste to retrieve my beloved animals, I rear-ended the car in front of me. The driver turned out to be a boy from my junior high that I haven’t seen in ages… I have no clue how he ended up in my dream! Anyways, once I got back to my apartment, I was horrified to find the lava had overflowed the valley and inched up to the door of my apartment, blocking my entrance. I woke up before finding out if I saved my animals or not

I’m striving to make my blog interesting again

The Black Dahlia

If you like crime dramas, this is a must see! Filled to the brim with twists and turns, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The weak-stomached might want to keep their distance, though. Dahlia definitely had its share of gore, but that’s because the actual crime was brutal. (Read more about the true Dahlia story). The real crime remains unsolved, but the film has closure… and the climax will shock you! 7 out of 10 stars.

Darth Vader had a bad day

There are a lot more, but I don’t feel like listing them William just got digital cable and there is a Nickelodeon Games channel where we watch the old game shows like Guts

I have to end my obsession with Design Snack… it’s raising my blood pressure! The members downvote BEAUTIFUL sites such as Soap Media, Renegade Zen, Simply Jazzmin, and Draft.Media with little or no explanation and then turn around and vote positive on PAGE-BUILDER and table-riddled sites!

I had a conversation with one of my mentors recently on my ‘webdesign skills‘ and I came to the realization that I care more about code than pretty graphics. To me, code is as much an artform as a painting or a photo. And I find myself getting very offended when someone says, “People flaunting the fact that their website is valid XHTML and tableless CSS are stupid…” I’m sorry, but I’m quite proud of the fact that I take the time and effort to create a clean, original, and accessible website. Anyone can open up MS Frontpage, drag and drop a few pics, then call it a webpage but very few can pull out notepad and cook up a large website from scratch using PHP, XHTML, CSS, etc.

Sorry about that rant… I just had to get it off my chest. Any thoughts?

I’m trying my best to come up with a new design for BubblesSOC, but haven’t had any luck thus far

My baby, Perfection, now resides at per.fectio.net … catchy, huh? I have to thank Jem and Versteckt for the idea.

I bought Animal Crossing for Nintendo DS! It’s my favorite DS game so far If you’re interested in playing with me, please email me or leave a comment.

Edit: I just bought a turtle! Actually, I ordered him. He’ll be arriving on Thursday I named him Sparticus after my friend Andy’s gamertag. In my strange world, all of my friends have animal names. Andy’s animal was a turtle, therefore, my turtle inherited his name. Make sense? Probably not. My best friend Rach says that I’m going to be the crazy lady with lots of cats one day. I believe her. I would buy a cat now, but I’d have to pay a $300 fee for a cat in my apartment

Ok, now here’s Bubs’ Animal Census:

1 guinea pig – Coco
1 maltese pup – Pixie
2 parakeets – Bit & Byte
6 fish
1 turtle – Sparticus

Finally, my summer web project is complete! (Well, 90% complete ) I coded it from scratch, so I’m very proud of it. Please check it out and let me know what you think!

Edit: Are my anti-hotlink images popping up?

Someone blogged about a new game starring Princess Peach for Nintendo DS. I thought it looked like a fun game, so I bought a Nintendo DS Lite tonight. I haven’t wanted one, but I’m just the most impulsive person you’ll ever meet. I mean, it wasn’t as expensive as I thought it would be and I just got paid, so why not? It’s totally logical I’m glad I got it, though. It’s a lot of fun! If you want to race me in Mario Kart, let me know and we’ll play online as soon as I figure it out.

My next impulsive purchase will be this:

I found this one on eBay, but the price seems a bit high. Does anyone know a store that carries it? The eBay auction says that its super rare, and I think I believe them.

Movies I can’t wait to see:

The Fountain
Children of Men
The Prestige
Apocalypto
Spider-Man 3
Casino Royale

In other news, I’m almost finished revamping my old clique, Perfection. It’s going to be my new baby… I can’t wait to reopen it
