BubblesSOC

He arrived today!

Straight from Japan… my very own Domo-kun! He even has Japanese labels. Isn’t he cute?? I love his flat feet… he can stand up just like the videos. I him! Will bought him for me from JList.Com and he’s a very high-quality plush. He’s the exact plush featured in the infamous picture I also got a cute pen, but I’ll save that for next paragraph…

I’ve never been so mad at Pixie. She destroyed my brand-new Domo-kun pen!!! :grumpy: I was so upset. I should’ve known better than to leave it on the table. Pixie loves to steal things off the dining room table. She still received quite a scolding! Thank goodness it’s still in stock… I’ll be able to get another.

Will’s back from Washington D.C. I’ve been so lonely without him!

I need to get some new photos of Coco as well

I get to design another website… one of my friends asked me to make one for his fraternity… I should start a business and make some $$$!

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!

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

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

It’s been a while, huh? 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 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 Oh and also, BubblesSOC is now valid XHTML 1.1.

Who all went to see Revenge of the Sith? I did, twice! 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 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 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

Don’t lose hope, I’ll be back next week! I’m just drowning in school right now I have a lot to talk about, so stay tuned. My baby (pictured above) came back home… early. I rescheduled her appointment because I was so lonely without her!

I’m so lonely My parents took Pixie home with them last weekend. She’s getting spayed on the 17th of March. I never realized how much I would miss her! It’s just not the same without the little furball chewing on my hair in the middle of the night. I call my parents every day to check up on her. She’ll come back home with me Spring Break (March 25 - April 4). Just a couple of weeks!

I got paid yesterday, so I went on a mini shopping spree I just have to post a pic of my new rain boots! I’ve been wanting a pair since Christmas time, but haven’t been able to find them anywhere. I don’t like the hot pink laces on the front, but hey, beggars can’t be choosers

Remember when I mentioned that the left Shift key on my laptop wasn’t working? I managed to skirt this issue thanks to Caps Lock and the right Shift key. Now, both of them have ceased to function. I had to borrow the keyboard from Will’s computer in order to type this entry DON’T DRINK COKES BESIDE YOUR LAPTOP! That’s why my keyboard is messed up in the first place.

Have a good weekend everyone.

I’m so sorry for neglecting my website and my dailies. This time of the year, school gets really hectic. I’m going to be really busy until Spring Break, then after Spring Break, I’ll be busy until the end of the semester. I’ll try to update as much as possible, but don’t count on hearing from me daily.

I don’t know if I mentioned it before, but I’m a terrible reader. As a result, I’ve missed out on a lot of great books. I’m also at a disadvantage when it comes to school. So far, I’ve made it through three years of college with hardly ever consulting a textbook. Lately, I realized that if I intend to do well in my studies, I’m going to have to make myself a better reader. Therefore, I bought three books this week: Animal Farm, 1984 (I’ve always wanted to read those two), and The Other Boelyn Girl. I’ve already finished the Animal Farm and I’ve started 1984. The Animal Farm was so good that I couldn’t put it down… and ended up missing two classes

Last night, my friends and I went to hear Jackson Jones (Rach’s boyfriend, Michael’s band) at a bar in downtown Tuscaloosa. They are so good!! Here are some pics from the night:

I’ve chosen my top five favorites from the past Caption Challenge. It was really a tough decision since I had about ten favorites. In the end, I picked the captions submitted by Chris, Arwen, Katy, Tuan, and Yajaira. I’ve posted a new picture for the challenge, so go give it a shot!

I gotta go to bed now. I have a Calculus test Tuesday and I’m determined I’m going to make a perfect score. I could’ve had 100% on the first exam, but I chose to watch anime instead of studying I’m going to study all day tomorrow like a good student!

Question: What part of speech is a word like however or nevertheless?

I was awake until 4 am last night finishing my CS project. It was working perfectly when I turned it in, so I hope I did well on it. CS 124 is my hardest class this semester by far. We will get ANOTHER project assigned tomorrow, except this one is a group project. I absolutely hate group projects But that’s a whole ‘nother story…

So, I went to check on Coco a bit ago only to discover that her cage door is open and she is running around the bedroom. I asked William if he let her out, but he said no. Apparently, that crafty pig has learned how to escape from her cage I don’t blame her, either! Pixie accompanied me to feed Coco and I got some cute pics of the two playing together.

You can see larger versions of some of the pictures on Pixie’s dogster page.

Today was a sad day for Naruto fans. The series was licensed to Cartoon Network. I’m sure that they will absolutely butcher it as they did Sailormoon and various other animes. Oh well, at least I still have the manga, which is better in my opinion

Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope yours was as good as mine. I have the best boyfriend on the planet! Will surprised me with a dozen pink roses and a Whitman’s Sampler (my favorite chocolates). He also tied two heart balloons to my car while I was in class. Talk about romantic! This marks our third Valentine’s Day together.

Pixie is growling and barking at my balloon right now, it’s really funny

Other than the fact that it never snows, I absolutely love the weather here in the south. I wore a tshirt to class today. It felt like early summer outside. I wish that Will and I didn’t have so much homework because we would’ve taken Pixie for a walk in the park this afternoon. Maybe Spring and Summer will come early this year!

Thank you, Chette for my lovely Valentine

Time for your daily dose of Pixie… it’s pretty cold outside, so she’s wearing her jacket

As I mentioned in my previous post, my friend Michael recorded a CD and I uploaded 13 of his tracks to my Radio.Blog. I forgot to mention, however, that he’s also playing the guitar. I’m pretty sure he wrote each song himself, too. He gave me the CD Thursday night and I’ve been listening to it all weekend. I’m impressed. I just added the titles. My favorite track is #5 - Crazy.

I wrote a cool hack for WP based on one that Dodo used to have on her blog. Now, I can see which skin each commenter is using I think I should spend less time scripting and more time studying!

I didn’t get anything accomplished this weekend, which is terrible since I have four exams next week. I better go finish my Calculus homework now.
