Hi I'm Bubs, welcome to my home on the web!

Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 24-year old student at the University of Alabama studying Computer Science and Mathematics. When I'm not busy programming you'll probably find me writing, drawing, reading, shopping, eating, or playing Monopoly.

Return to Writing

I’ve taken to writing again… I know, I’m all over the place when it comes to my hobbies. This time, though, I’m determined to finish my story. I’ve been working with this idea for too long to let it go to waste. I think I developed the story and most of the characters 10 years ago and it’s been evolving ever since. I may post a couple of excerpts from it on my livejournal so that I can make the entry friends only ;) I don’t want to release it to the public until its finished!

If you are a country music fan, check out I Loved Her First by Heartland. My friend Rachael’s dad wrote it about her… it’s really sweet :heart:

HP: Order of the Phoenix

After seeing Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in theaters, I bought the Order of the Phoenix and began reading. I just finished the book last weekend.
Why did Sirius have to die??? He was the reason I got obsessed with Harry Potter in the first place :cry:

I’ll have to wait until after finals to start reading the Half-Blood Prince.

Will and I are going to see Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe tonight. I hope it’s good!

If you’re interested in exchanging Christmas cards, please refer to the previous post :)

Harry Potter IV

Everyone should see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire … it was the best movie I’ve seen all year! I cried at one part :cry: (I’m such a little girl) I’m planning on seeing it again with my dad during Thanksgiving break.

Star Wars: ROTS

Will bought me the Star Wars Episode III dvd on Tuesday. All I wanted to see were the deleted scenes. I was very disappointed to discover that there are only 5 included on the disc! I know there were more scenes cut than 5 :grumpy: I was really looking forward to the scene where Obi-Wan visits Padme the first time (the cut one, not the one included in the original film). If I weren’t having a terrible semester, I’d take a day off from class and watch Episodes I-VI :lol:

I am now a proud owner of all 5 seasons of Sailormoon! :nod: Now, I want to save my money and buy the manga. Does anyone know where I can find the manga for a decent price? I noticed Tokyopop no longer carries them.

Sorry for the sparse blog entries. One word - school :P

Bond, James Bond

Daniel Craig as James Bond

Hmm, I wonder how he’ll do. I’m really excited about Casino Royale being the new Bond film, since it is one of Ian Fleming’s original books. It’s about time they started working on the new film!! I can’t wait until it comes out… I have high hopes. Martin Campbell, the director of GoldenEye, will be directing Casino Royale. Although it wasn’t my favorite of the Brosnan four, GoldenEye was one million times better than Die Another Day :P Someone called Die Another Day the “Batman and Robin of the Bond series” :rofl: … that pretty much sums it up.

Movies and More

I’m not much of a football fan, but I’m so excited that Bama is 4 and 0! I think that ESPN Gameday is coming to Tuscaloosa next weekend for Bama vs Florida… that should be interesting. Maybe I will have to participate in the festivities ;)

School is really tough this semester! I’ve been lost in my ECE class since day one. Although my first ECE class is kicking my butt, I still plan to double major.

I’m a movie trailer lover, so I thought I’d mention a few trailers of movies that I can’t wait to see:
V for Vendetta
All the King’s Men
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Chronicles of Narnia
The New World

I was looking forward to Aeon Flux, but the trailer actually doesn’t look that good :no: I’ll probably see it anyway, though. I tend to do that.

Cool Song + New Skin

M83 - Don’t Save Us from the Flames

I thought I’d share that song… it’s featured on the Pontiac commercial and website. Kind of reminds me of the killers… you should check it out!

I redesigned my Fly Away skin. I know it’s really girly, but hey, I’m a girl! :) Check it out in Firefox in order to get the full effect.

Three Years and Counting

Sunday was our three-year anniversary… too bad William is still in D.C. :( He did send me some purty flowers … the prettiest I’ve ever received!

Purty Flowers!

I’ve been working on the website for the U of A Philosophy Department non-stop. It’s a work in progress, but you can catch a sneak-peak of it here.

Batman Begins is really good… 5 out of 5, in my opinion. It’s not silly at all, like some comic book adaptions. I hope to see War of the Worlds this weekend. I’m sure I’ll love it because Steven Spielberg can do no wrong in my eyes :nod:

Oh yeah, I made a myspace.com account… feel free to add me as your friend.

Revenge of the Sid

It’s been a while, huh? :sweatdrop: I really haven’t been in the mood for the internet lately… these past weeks have been pretty crazy. If you’re interested in some of what’s been going on, check out my livejournal. It’s a protected entry, so just let me know if you want me to add you as a friend ;)

So, I got a new job. Well, two jobs actually, but the first job is for course credit instead of money. First off, I was asked to design the website for the Philosophy department at the university. I’m really excited since I’ll be able to use some of my new CSS and PHP skills :nod: Second, I’m working as a systems administrator for the Business school technology department. I just started last Monday and I’ve already learned a ton of new stuff. I’m currently shadowing a grad student who is moving soon. He totally lost me today talking about networking… Hopefully I’ll understand it better once I start playing with it.

You may have noticed already, but I finally converted my site to pure css! (i.e. The content is exactly the same on every page. The layout is totally governed by a stylesheet) Take a look at my page with the stylesheet turned off and you’ll see what I mean. I’ve only implemented Bliss, 3-d, Doodleblog, Fruit, and Cleaned-Up so far… I’ll get around to fixing the other skins sometime this summer :lol: Oh and also, BubblesSOC is now valid XHTML 1.1.

Darth SID-uous!!

Who all went to see Revenge of the Sith? I did, twice! :spin: Will and I met some friends in Birmingham for the midnight showing. While waiting for 12am to roll around, I ventured to Wal-Mart to buy a light saber. They were sold out, so I got a Vader mask instead. I think I was the first Darth Vader to don a mini-skirt :rofl: I went to see it again with my dad on Saturday. The special effects were mind-blowing and I’m buying the soundtrack as soon as I get paid. I thought it was amazing, but my heart still belongs to the original trilogy. I have to admit though, Anakin is pretty hot :beat: You can listen to some selected Star Wars tracks in my Radio Blog.

My inbox is overflowing!! I’ll try to get back to everyone who has emailed me asap. Next week, I’m going to start getting the Qbee Admin Script ready for public release. Well, that’s all I gots to say tonight! If you’re lucky, I’ll post again tomorrow hehe
