EYEHEARTZOMBIES

I know it’s been awhile since I’ve written, and the last time I did write was just a rant. I feel as bad about it as you want me to, really. OK, maybe I don’t. But….Anyway, here’s what’s going on.

I’m still downloading music like a rabid music downloader. Now, though, I have more power as we recently switched from our dialup to DSL. There’s nothing like the feeling of getting a hardcore album in less than 10 minutes. I’ve actually filled up one drive and I’m working on the other. I’m gonna have to start backing stuff up and taking it off. I’ve gotten some realy great bands lately; I’ll make up a list of new material for you all soon. Not that any of you like hardcore.

This past weekend was also Elaine’s birthday. I wanted to have the redesign of her site done for her birthday, but it didn’t happen. Hopefully this week or next. Of course, this would all be sped up if Manny would learn to balance school, work, and real work (that being what he does with me). Oh well. It’s still his first semester, so he’ll get better.

Since it was Elaine’s birthday, we went to her brother’s house for the weekend. It was really nice to get away for awhile and not have anything pressing to do. He and I built a fire to cook the steaks on, then built another one (first was charcoal, second was wood) just for the hell of it. We pushed over a tree (pictures to come) and then burned it just ’cause we could. The next day we all went and did miniature golf and go-carts. John and I did Dance Dance Revolution as well. Damn, that’s harder than you think. I guess it might help if I liked dance music and danced at all. I’m thinking of picking it up for Xbox off of Ebay in the future. It’d be good exercise.

We took Monday off, too, as her birthday was over the weekend and you really should get a day off for your birthday. We went shopping for a few things we needed in Tulsa and then came home and watched Kill Bill vol. 2. It’s good, but I think I liked the first one better. Elle Driver’s line of “I love the word ‘gargantuan.’ So rarely get to use it in a sentance.” is a great line, though. Possibly my favorite Tarantino line ever. Could just be ’cause my word (Gigantuan) is based on it.

Went back to work today, of course. This week is supposed to be deadline, but I’m not sure if we’re gonna make it. Boss said something about the weekend, but we weren’t asked to work, so I’m not sure. I shouldn’t go unless they ask. I don’t want to think about work right now, though.

I am thinking about a slight redesign, though. I don’t think the front news page thing is working as well as I had hoped and the articles are a little hard to read. I’ll post comps of what I’m thinking of doing in the next few days, whenever I get chance. Mostly just a revamping of the article form and the front page, but it’ll most likely affect a few other pages as well. Leave comments if you think I should or shouldn’t do this, or any other ideas you have. Also, I need to find some way to integrate my audioscrobbler feed/information into the site. Guess I need to sit down and do some serious brainstorming. As promised, here is a thumbnail of what I’m thinking.

Well, we’re off to Wal-Mart, so I guess I should stop writing. More later, when I have the thumbnails and pictures from this weekend (see us attack a tree)!
