When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.

shopping trip
I went shopping with my mother today and caught some great sales. I surprised myself by showing some restraint and not buying everything I wanted that I could afford. The only reason I had to go to the mall in the first place was to exchange a pair of Aeropostale pants (some I [...]
site referrers
While checking my list of referrers, I found these comments and a link to my site on hexi-decimal.com’s admired list:
“I adore Noir’s graphics, what kept me at her site was her great sense of humour and original content. It’s a shame that there aren’t more sites as unique as this, so not only should you [...]

reading and movies
I just read the latest entry in Charlotte’s blog and this bit made me snort in laughter:
Today, I thought, ‘Hey, God obviously wanted me to have unreasonably large boobs, so I might as well show them off. For this is the work of the Lord, and it is good’.
I went to bed at some reasonable [...]

the alt attribute
Each time that you use <img> or <area>, you should include the alt attribute. An alt attribute is generally a short description of what the <img> or <area> contains or is pertaining to.
Example
<img src="frog.jpg" alt="My pet frog, Snooky.">
Why Should I Care?
It’s an easy bit of code to throw in and yet it’s quite helpful. [...]

How Not to Mod Your Computer Case
“As you can see I follow the standard safety procedures for working on a case. If you can remove the panel to work on it, do so. Of course thats not normally followed by the phrase “toss it down on the ground and whack it”, but hey, its fun, [...]

slippery duck
Reading the entry and comment discussion here just chaps my ass. I hate the attitude that valid code is not something to be desired. Instead of climbing onto a very worn out but beloved soap box of mine, I’ll just throw at you an article about alt tags that I wrote the other [...]

moving in, textbooks
I’m all moved into my dorm although there are still random things that need to be put in their place that are currently lying around the room. Jess and I watched Troy last night at her house. It was decent.
I purchased my books today. The total was $237.10, which is about $60 [...]

first day of class
I just returned from running some errands. I found out today that the workbook I purchased for Spanish isn’t required, so I returned it and got my $33 back.
Today went well. I was about twenty minutes early for Spanish just because I like being early to a class I’ve never been to before. [...]

evolution
Georgia Evolution Stickers Ordered Removed
“A federal judge Thursday ordered a suburban Atlanta school system to remove stickers from its high school biology textbooks that call evolution ‘a theory, not a fact,’ saying the disclaimers are an unconstitutional endorsement of religion.”
That annoys me. I think the stickers should have been left on the books. [...]

This is one of the niftiest things I’ve seen in a while. Gotta love that it’s running on a Debian system, too.

the weekend
I had a good time at my cousin’s house this weekend. My one-year-old cousin, Julia, is just learning to walk so I got to hold her hands and help her toddle around the house a lot. Gina (Julia’s mother) and I stayed up until 1 this morning talking about various scary movies, books, [...]

six freakin’ degrees
What the devil? My roommate just informed me that it is six degrees outside. Six. In all its single-digit glory and evathang. Lexington’s weather is truly sucking right now. I can’t remember the last time it was this cold during the day back home. Perhaps a couple of times [...]

Jess, Steve and I got together last night and made our poster for the Posters at the Capitol program. However, [...]

Lora’s boredom, icy roads
So I’ve managed to get Lora addicted to The Sims 2. I found her drawing little black and white boxes in MS Paint on Friday afternoon. “You really are bored, aren’t you?” I asked before having her come to my computer to play the game. Now she has it installed on her [...]
disasters
My mother and I were walking down our road together. We got to a large barn in the middle of the road in a curve, and went inside. My dad was there. Some of our friends came up outside and showed us how they had learned to adjust a roof. They [...]
