12:08 p.m., Thursday, December 7, 2000 I need some coffee. I can't find a good site for my favortite kind of coffee (espresso royale caffe), so instead I'll let you look at this. What the ?!?! Darn Yahoo search matches. 09:04 a.m., Thursday, December 7, 2000 I ordered some Deep Dish from Amazon yesterday. I also got a christmas gift for my brother, and he has no idea what it is. MUAHAHAHA. Next on my list of music to get is Hooverphonic (hear that, Gavin?). Hopefully it's not that far away :) I've been going through a dry spell with music lately. Nothing sounds different to me anymore. This is what makes me want to move in a different direction all together. Anything on 99x in Atlanta or 102.9 in Nashville annoys the crap out of me now (although the 99x morning show is a riot). Very strange. Even my little country stint is coming to an end (probably a good thing). So I'm going to listen to my drum n' bass music in hopes that it will make me interested in music again. And not just a passing thing. 01:27 p.m., Wednesday, December 6, 2000 Quannum.com is cool. It's a site promoting the record label, but I ended up being more impressed with the quality and arrangement of the site. There's a little moveable mini-nav, beat selectors, and even some 3D flames (oo!). I love vector programs. And I swear, almost everything I like on the web comes out of San Francisco (check out caffemocha). I was toying with the idea of going there after I graduate at the end of the summer, but have since changed my mind. Who knows what can happen though? 09:29 a.m., Wednesday, December 6, 2000 Caught the last part of Dune last night. I saw that and part one, but I missed part 2...I guess I'll catch it on rerun. I thought the series was really well done. I read the book a year ago so I'm a bit foggy, but as far as I could tell, the characters and the environment were very close to how I pictured. Some of the parts were a liiiittle cheesy looking (ie. the sandworm "makers"), but then they turned around and used some really great CG to create scenes they couldn't film. It was really nice to look at. The colors were amazing, the costumes were incredible, and the characters were very true to how Frank Herbert wrote them. SciFi really hit the nail on the head with the characerts. The baron was yucky, eh? And those guild members! Yikes.... The miniseries rated 4.6 on the Nielsen scale, which is a lot. Go SciFi! 08:42 a.m., Wednesday, December 6, 2000 I would like to thank this site for making my life that much easier. I should permanently link it. 09:42 a.m., Tuesday, December 5, 2000 Subinev's got a new design up and so does Matt! I have such talented friends. 08:59 a.m., Tuesday, December 5, 2000 Ugh, this coffee tastes burned. I drank all the stuff I brought from home and have now resorted to Tate Student Center coffee...yarg. But if you really like coffee, go get yourself some Peaberry something or other...it's good stuff. A little history: coffee beans split in halves, right. A peaberry is where the coffee bean is just one bean. Innnnnteresting, eh? 08:48 a.m., Tuesday, December 5, 2000 My alarm sounded continuous and annoying this morning, even though I must have turned it off to sleep in to when I did. I didn't get enough sleep last night because I was working so late, and I didn't even get a lot of work done because the damn computer kept crashing. The only way I could get it to somewhat behave was by compressing my fabulous graphics! (what a pity) Haha...I'm delirous.. Go over to see michael, he's got some really beautiful wallpaper posted. I love stuff that's got cropped loopy text in it. Or gritty text, I like that too. 08:21 a.m., Tuesday, December 5, 2000 It's gonna be a long night. I have some designs for a final to do, and the images I'm working with are 30 and 55 megs each. Even on a G4 that takes a while to open and make changes to. And it's already 9. Argh. 09:02 p.m., Monday, December 4, 2000 Go get you some wallpaper. It's for 1024x700something; sorry no bigger or smaller! 12:05 p.m., Monday, December 4, 2000 Ha ha ha...Joe Dirt. 09:36 a.m., Monday, December 4, 2000 Ha. My life is a joke. I spent half the day sleeping, and the other half playing Tomb Raider (last revelation) with my roommate. We are so pitiful. I did get some painting done though. Not enough to show for an entire weekend, but video games are more fun that schoolwork. It's funny being an art major around exam time. It's really low stress..just a lot of polishing up of a lot of stuff. But we've been working hard all semseter, and it's no different at the end. UNLESS it's art history. Then you have to memorize paintings and artists and dates and facts. I find that when I go into an art history exam all the information is very precariously stacked up in my brain, so that if one person says something to throw me off, I'll forget (or second guess) everything. So I immediately write everything I know on the inside cover of my bluebook. It's legal! Then I leave the exam and immediately forget everything. So it goes. 08:08 p.m., Sunday, December 3, 2000 Jack, tell me what you're eating (and where *I* can get some)! I am hooked! 12:35 a.m., Sunday, December 3, 2000 I went to see Turing Machine last night, like many other graphics friends of mine. The show was amazing...the club was funny in it's obscurity though...it truly was a hole in the wall. Anyways, in the words of my friend Daniel, Jerry carried the band. He busted out some stuff that I didn't think drummers could do...he has an amazing talent. Even though I have had all day to get caught up on some stuff, I have only managed to go to the gym, do some cleaning, and watch Superman. Great, eh? Rainy, cold Saturday...and my roommate seems to think it's gonna snow. 05:52 p.m., Saturday, December 2, 2000 I just spent the past half hour or something looking at Memoirs from Hijiyama, a DHTML flash presentation of the bombing of Hiroshima. Very beautiful, purposeful site. And for the squeamish, this site does not focus on the gory, hideous nature of the bombing, rather the memory of the lives lost, and the magnitude of the event itself. Link via linkdup. 02:04 p.m., Friday, December 1, 2000 Good grief. Why is this song stuck in my head? 09:51 a.m., Friday, December 1, 2000 New splash. No mad skills on this one, just morning boredom, which will probably be rectified tonight in some internet madness. aka I'll do something else tonight when I have better software :) I'm going to see Jerry's band, Turing Machine, tonight. Go download some of their stuff from Napster if you get a chance, they are really quite good. I can't wait to see what they are like live. Good luck, Jer-E. 09:36 a.m., Friday, December 1, 2000 My friend Liz just called me and told me that yesterday she broke out in a weird rash all over her body. Today she went to the doctor and they told her she had scarlet fever. Wow. In her words, "Who gets THAT?!" Good luck Liz, I hope it's a mistake! 10:36 a.m., Thursday, November 30, 2000 Jack's website is getting pretty darn exciting. I haven't been in this much suspense since the teenage girl in the "For Better or for Worse" comic strip fell in love. I'm not kidding. But reading on in Jack's site, he says something about having a soundtrack playing as he walked the halls of his empty high school...this is something I STILL think about. I wonder if it would get noisy with all the soundtracks for the different people playing. As of today, I guess my song would be the Propellerheads "on her majesty's secret service." Hee hee...I think that may be just because my alter ego is an ultra covert secret agent. I keep telling myself that it's good that I've got such an active imagination. Sometimes, I wonder which world I'm living in though. 08:46 a.m., Thursday, November 30, 2000 Rachel, welcome to my world. 8am 5 days a week, werd. 08:42 a.m., Thursday, November 30, 2000 Okeeeyyy...so apparently, I'm the *only* person who didn't know about the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Well sorrrrrryyy! ;) 08:20 a.m., Thursday, November 30, 2000 Did anyone know that they were making the Lord of the Rings trilogy into movies (who ever heard of that)? The costumes and special effects look promising. And it will probably be good since it doesn't come out for another year, and it already looks cool in the trailer. 09:46 a.m., Tuesday, November 28, 2000 My roommate taped Ally McBeal for me last night while I was off at Kinko's wasting time (yet somehow getting an 11x17 Fiery print for $1.88). I love shows that I can laugh out loud at when there's no one around. Ally seems to be genuinely entertaining. And let me point out two good things about that show in general: 1. Robert Downey Jr.'s voice (oh my gosh!) and 2. Ling. That tiger growl thing they associate with her is hilarous. I think it would be pretty funny if we really heard tiger growls around some people. Or even the ability to spontaneously emit Barry White would be pretty cool. Ha.
While I was at home over the holiday, I managed to steal back my Mary Chapin Carpenter cd from my dad. Yeah yeah, you all think I'm a big dork now, but I heard "I feel lucky" on the radio last week and ever since then have craved the cd. 5 days and 730 miles later I am back at school. My break was awesome. I managed to pack in a lot of stuff..but my favorite part was getting to hang out with my parents and my brother (the little bit I saw him). They are so necessary to my sanity. Liz and Jaz were also there too...and we always have fun. :) Now I have to come up with at least 10 ideas for my portfolio project for next semester before my 11:30 appointment. Yikes! The fate of Lacey will be decided before lunch! But I'm pretty revved up, actually....I've got a painting style now, and I can draw a whole heck of a lot better than I could a year ago. So I think it's just coming up with a catchy idea. I'm thinking about a series of painted flip books, or perhaps some big wall pieces that are kindof like large comic book frames or something. Gotta think of something cost-effective though, you know? I can't be making $30 trips to Kinko's 3 days a week. 09:11 a.m., Monday, November 27, 2000 The beaurocracy of the world never ceases to amaze me. Here I am working in a computer lab, supposedly helping people...only there are no classes today because of Thanksgiving, thus there are no students. I have seen one peroson in the lab all day. The crowning blow of this silliness is the fact that I still have to park in commuter parking rather than close-by parking because the evil parking services is ticketing today. That is just MEAN! There's tons and tons of parking, and I can't park a lousy quarter of a mile closer to my work because someone's going to put a $25 parking violation on my car. You have to be a special kind of person to so ruthlessly ticket people on a holiday...grr.. I am heading back to Franklin, TN after I get off work at 2 here. I am SO EXTREMELY EXCITED to be coming home, too...I get to see my family, Liz, Jaz is coming in the country for a few months, MRM....Liz's hot tub....I'm keeping my priorities straight here. :) I'm so excited. 08:59 a.m., Wednesday, November 22, 2000 I can't wait for Dune...the book was so good. Funny thing though, the first hundred pages of the were really hard to get through...but if you bear with it, the book is extremely good as well. 09:23 a.m., Tuesday, November 21, 2000
08:46 a.m., Tuesday, November 21, 2000
"The earth has its inhabitants, the water and the air contain many living beings and all the elements have their nature spirits, then how is it possible to conceive that these stupendous stellar bodies are not inhabited? Verily, they are peopled, but let it be known that the dwellers accord with the elements of their respective spheres. These living beings do not have states of consciousness like unto those who live on the surface of this globe: the power of adaptation and environment moulds their bodies and states of consciousness, just as our bodies and minds are suited to our planet." - 'Abdu'l-Baha quoted in "Divine Philosophy" (Boston: The Tudor Press, 1918), pp.114-15. 08:22 a.m., Tuesday, November 21, 2000Oh yeah, twoblocks has a new splash every day indefinetly, and sofar has been pretty cool. Go check it out. 09:37 a.m., Monday, November 20, 2000 I think I will go to see Bright Eyes here in Athens Tuesday. Rachel says that he is her favorite artist, and from what I've heard it sounds like it will be a good show. That and I haven't been to a show all semester I don't think, which is a pity seeing that I live in one of the best places to go see bands. My financial situation has afforded me only about 3 cups of black coffee a week downtown as my luxury item...which is sad in itself...but I think I'll put that money into the show this week. My friend Sania on the other hand has had VERY good luck with shows this semester. She saw REM for free, live, downtown...and the ironic part of that is she told me they would be playing and I thought it was a nasty rumor (which does happen here in Athens). So there she was on the front row. And when she said, "Hey Lacey, wanna go see Moby in Atlanta?" I was too broke to go. So who ends up getting chosen by The Truth campaign to go backstage and meet Moby and get lots of free stuff? SANIA. Geez I'm jealous. I'm taking her to see Bright Eyes with me on Tuesday so maybe something cool will happen to us. Haha. 09:35 a.m., Monday, November 20, 2000 Matt's got a new site up now. Very different than moosle.com was, and still very nice. I'm interested to see how it all works out. 08:35 a.m., Monday, November 20, 2000 Silly me...forgetting to put up the screenshot section. And here all this time I've been adding stuff. The nav on the right has been reorganized because I thought it was confusing having it at the bottom. This is what I get for doing designs before 10am. 08:40 p.m., Thursday, October 19, 2000 Well here I am, sitting in my apartment...I've been here nearly all day as it is a game saturday, and I'm not willing to drive in this nasty weather with intoxicated folks on the road. Luckily, my friend Sania left me her powerbook to play with. It's keeping my lap warm...and I can watch tv and do everthing else. I could become a very lazy person with a lifestyle like this. :) Also, I wanted to make sure everyone read the article at The Onion about Strom Thurman choosing his cabinet. This will all be very interesting if he becomes president (which is indeed possible, because if they don't choose someone for pres, then it goes to the speaker of the house, and if he doesn't take it, then it goes to Strom). Wonder who will become the new secretary of slaves. Heh. 08:44 p.m., Thursday, February 9, 2040 Ha ha..an army/navy store. This really isn't so unusual, but wouldn't it be funny if the Navy had an online shopping cart? Then truly everyone would be in it for the money. 09:42 a.m., Friday, November 17, 2000 I..am..so...tired. Dear God. I am here at work and I can barely keep my eyes open. My brain is working on half speed...the coffee sitting in front of me hasn't kicked in yet (either that or I'm really, REALLY tired). I can't wait to see my bed and jump face first into it. Then die. In a second I am going to turn into a drooling unconscious lump. Stay awake..st..ay....aw...a..k..e...zzzz... 08:26 a.m., Friday, November 17, 2000 I heard a remix on the radio this morning of Cyndi Lauper's song "Time after Time" and it reminded me of how good the song actually is. So I found this description of Time After Time on this really great Cyndi Lauper site. Very thorough site...any artist should be so lucky to have such great records on the internet. I guess I should say that I have been "anti-80s" for a long time now...since the 80s actually. But now that I'm starting to get over that whole thing, I'm realizing how awesome some artists really were then. If I had to compile a "best of 80s" CD it would look like this:
In Your Eyes, Peter Gabriel, from Say Anything And that's all sofar. No surprises, either..almost this exact list was on VH1 last weekend, and maybe it's even cliche, but I actually really like these songs. I'm not crazy like my friend Liz and get a 5-disk 80s music set. Now THAT'S nuts. (oooohhhhh....) 09:20 a.m., Thursday, November 16, 2000Now, for a limited time only, laceydotpitas wallpaper (1024x768 pixels)...I have more made, but they are so big I don't want to overload my space. I'll rotate them out. Hope you all like it! OH yeah, the painting is the one I said I was inspired by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. You'd think I was obsessed with this movie the way I'm talking about it... 10:10 p.m., Wednesday, November 15, 2000 Well well well....Self has a new internet commercial. And it's everything I would expect from Self :) On an entirely unrelated note I just got my LSAT admissions ticket for the test on December 2 today....and they have me taking it at Mercer University...in MACON, GEORGIA! For those of you non-georgians, that's aboooouuut 3.5 hours away from me. yeah. Forget that! And they expect me to be there at 8am?! Whatever, LSAT! So I'm paying money to have the date of my test changed so I will have a better location. I am not very happy right now. Yarg, beaurocracy... 06:02 p.m., Wednesday, November 15, 2000 New splash over at my arches site. No surprises there...all I can say is that I'm working on a painting to mirror it kinda. I'll post that when I finish it. Scratch that-I'll put it on the list of everthing else I said I'd post. 12:56 p.m., Wednesday, November 15, 2000 It's as if the computer knows when I'm writing something long and complicated, like html, when it crashes. Sheesh. Save early, save often, people...good grief... And the sad part of it all is, I use a Mac all the time, even at work, even though the Macs at work suck. They are networked so badly that they crash every hour or so, so then everyone thinks that Macs suck because some idiot designed the image (this is what I was told) and now nothing works right. These are G3s! They are not meant to be bad computers! What a waste of money to spend $2k on a machine that is networked so poorly that it chokes up every hour...and then have about 30 of them just sitting there. Nice use of student computing fees. 09:27 a.m., Wednesday, November 15, 2000 Seth tells me I need to go see this movie called Ran, a 1985 Japanese flick. I just went to the official site and it looks promising artistically. That and I'm a total sucker for movies of an Asian origin...or maybe I'm just a sucker in general..hmm... 09:01 a.m., Wednesday, November 15, 2000 New layout up here...the images came from a new indie movie called Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The colors looked really beautiful. Also, just so you all know, I did NOT create this layout with an editor, nor did I even use photoshop. Muhaha. 10:38 a.m., Tuesday, November 14, 2000 Oo! Dungeons and Dragons looks like fun. Another movie where I don't care if it's good or not :) 08:25 a.m., Tuesday, November 14, 2000 Lately I have been listening to CDs which have been sitting dormant in the cases for ages...and I totally forgot how awesome they are. For exapmple, Pearl Jam's Vs. cd. I love this CD! I felt like a freshman in high school again listening to it...whether that's a good thing or not I don't know, but it made me happy to sing along to Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town. Haha. There's one song on there that really disturbs me to listen to...It's My Blood...I dont' know why but that song has ALWAYS disturbed me. Pearl Jam has a way with art and with music...the cover art and inside art for both Vs. also Vitalogy is quite disturbing to me...much like the songs to in a way. But on the whole, I am very happy I decided to put this cd in...it will be in rotation for a while I can feel it. Also randomly noticed is U2's Achtung Baby. Is there a bad song on this cd AT ALL?!?! NO! Don't argue, you'll be wrong. Heh. Also in current rotation are Lauryn Hill, Orbital (Diversions), and SP's Machina II which I downloaded to zip disk. How ghetto of me. 11:39 p.m., Monday, November 13, 2000 Wow, I have a posse. Leave it to Bryan to make me feel like a celebrity. Shucks.. 02:29 p.m., Saturday, November 11, 2000 Gotta give props to Subinev for writing about the awkward elevator situation. To combat this weirdness, in my freshman year of college when I went to WKU, my friends Jasmine, Liz, Suzanne and I would do stuff to weird people out in elevators (what else is there to do in Kentucky, right?). Jaz and I would get in the elvator and each go to a different back corner and face the wall. Then we would be completely silent. It was fun...I don't know, we were silly (freshman) art students. But today was so beautiful outside...it was brisk and clear and it just seemed that nothing bad could possibly happen. I'm reading the Celestine Prophecy right now, and maybe it's the book talking, but everything just seemed to have such good energy. It rained torrents the past few days..and now everything is so fresh...it felt good to be out and around..I think there might be something to the whole "energy field" thing, although I can't see them, and I don't even know if it's possible. So that's that. 11:22 p.m., Tuesday, October 10, 2000 I am finally over being sick for the most part, but life just forges on. I still have places to go and errands and PROJECTS (dear God stop the madness with the projects! aaah!!)...good grief. Freelancing graphic design can be very challenging at times...especially under time constraints and client unpredictability and personal things (like being sick for over a week). And really I still need to rest to get 100%...I can't wait to sleep tonight..until then I have 2 hours of work, a class, another 2 hours of work, a huge essay test, work for this other job I'm doing now, then a big 3D model for my environmental graphic des class, and a poster for a reproduction in graph des class...keep on going I guess... 08:24 a.m., Friday, November 10, 2000 I enjoyed the recent entry over at Tiffany's page just now. And I can say that I've had similar thoughts about becoming an active human being twice in my life: once when I was taking a women's studies class and last month, after attending a conference at Spelman College in Atlanta, focusing on race and justice. The latter of these two pivotal times for me has made me want to take the LSAT and somehow help to defend those who need the most defense: women, minorities, and immigrants. I think it's very honorable that Tif is doing some major thinking about her surroundings...very few people are really aware of what is going on around them...and on the other side of that very few people really want to know. That's hard to see..apathy when we are young and the most active we will be in our lives..we can provoke the most change in the world when we are young. In the Baha'i Faith there is a saying that "youth can move the world," and now that I'm seeing 14 and 15 year olds where I once was when I first became a Baha'i, I am a true believer in that statement. Young people are so radiant and energetic, and if youth put into action the principles they consider just, whether that be by community service or leading by example, it can make a very profound statement to the world. People like my friend Suzanne are my heroes, because they pretty much would give up any hope of being wealthy just to know that they helped ONE PERSON get a better hold on their lives. That is sacrifice, and that is beautiful. 08:23 a.m., Wednesday, November 8, 2000 Okay, FINALLY I have azaria on "official" release. But not really, it's the skeleton crew edition, where there's just a bunch of graphics and no portfolio. Ha! For real though, I updated a bunch of little stuff...links and whatnot, so go check it out, and let me know what you think. Prego. 06:21 p.m., Saturday, October 7, 2000 Catching up on the news this morning at bbc.com I was reading about how Jaques Chirac, pres of France, is hoping to have bone meal done away with due to mad cow disease, which is back...or maybe it never left. In any case, just so you all aren't in the dark about this, bone meal is essentially carcasses stripped of meat of animals such as lamb, cow, etc. which is ground up and put back into animal feed. Nice, eh? I watched a thing on The Learning Channel not so long ago about this. A lot of France has banned beef from their school menus already. I think that's great...as I'm sure the majority of you know it's very hard to ween yourself away from certain meats. I also think it's great that awareness about such things is becoming more widespread. I wish it were more here...sure we don't have mad cow disease here, but we do have our fair share of second-hand diseases from meat (cancer, e-coli..). I could go on, but I'm sure those who are even remotely interested in this have stopped reading. Heh. 08:27 a.m., Tuesday, November 7, 2000 Day 6 of the wretched cold. Somehow talking to my mom today made me feel better. I think moms could be half the cure...phone contact will have to do for me though. Oh well. I have to get back to normal life tomorrow regardless of if I'm well or not. My art history class can't wait (miss a lecture, and I could miss 100 years!), and I've got other projects to work on. Not to mention if I don't go to work I'll be broke (broke-r). This is so sob story...I'll write again when I'm a normal person. 07:46 p.m., Sunday, November 5, 2000 Just got back from opening night of Charlie's Angels. (do I sound like a broken record yet with this movie? I'm about to review it, so heads up) I love this movie for the same reason I love Trinity in The Matrix, Nikita, Kabuki, and various other ficticious women. I love it when my fellow females kick ass (because we do, and it's such a rush to kick stuff..) Now I know that the action sequences in Angels were cheesy (the whole movie was cheesy, but it was meant to be that way), bordering on cliche, but I knew they were gonna be that way and I STILL loved it! So go with the intention to see cool costumes and action sequences and in general the intention to be mindlessly entertained. Now I know I'm on some crazy decongenstants right now, and the world is looking miiiighty strange, but I think when I get better I will like this movie still. Go do a roundhouse kick for the ladies. 11:31 p.m., Friday, November 3, 2000 Today was a washout. Skipped work, class...all for the little bit of sleep I don't think I even got. Now I'm on a decongestant and life looks reaaal strange. I'm going to see Charlie's Angels tonight despite my delerium. I hope I remember it later. 06:08 p.m., Friday, November 3, 2000 Being sick totally sucks...especially in your senior year of college when you're taking all your important classes. I can't just "skip" class first off, because they NOTICE when you're not there, and it can be truly detrimental to the design process and your grade. So I can't stay home just to get better. And I need money, but can't be efficient at work either. UGH! I feel really weird right now..stuffed up and off balance and cranky. I think NyQuil is a beautiful thing. But when you can breathe out of only one nostril and you can't hear properly through both ears equally and your throat feels like dry sand...sickness SUCKS. Sorry for the negativity. 11:39 p.m., Thursday, November 2, 2000 Sorry I'm slacking off on the screenshot section. I put up a new one just now. I'm getting in the Charlie's Angels mood...you bet I'm going to see this movie Friday! I'm so excited! And you know what? I don't care if it sucks! I'm going to watch my fellow females kick ass. So nyeh! You all will have to forgive me, I'm a bit sick. I'm fighting off a fever and God only knows what else right now...ugh... My only complaint with Charlie's Angels is WHY is the website called "get-some-action" dotcom? That's really terrible... 09:36 a.m., Wednesday, November 1, 2000 I meant to log this last night, but I couldn't log into pitas. Oh well, I'll say it today. I listened to the Romeo and Juliet sountrack (perhaps inspired by Tiffany's latest venture) and I totally forgot how much I enjoyed that time of my life. I remember being so in love with that movie. Maybe I should watch it again. On a different note, I just found out this morning that my friend Daniel and his girlfriend Jill are getting married! Congrats, you guys! It's so wonderful to see in someone's face how much in love they are...and Jill and Daniel are the perfect examples of that. So that's my cheesiness for the day. Good luck you guys, I have a Martha Stewart Weddings magazine if you need it. Stephanie told me all this, and that inspired us to design our own engagement rings. I COULD tell the internet how much of a girl I am right now but I think it's pretty darn evident that I'm a lost cause to the wedding madness. In case you all missed it before I have been to 5 weddings this year. That's a lot for one 21-year old to go to. 09:06 a.m., Tuesday, October 31, 2000 I am now back from my vacation. I can't begin to say how much fun I had. I wrote a little verbage about it earlier..I'll have to publish that I suppose :) But anyways, I know you are all dying to know what the big surprise was while I was in Knoxville that my friend Liz kept telling me about. They ended up blindfolding me and taking me to a corn field maze which was an adventure in itself. Apparently there are corn mazes all over the place, but this particular one was the first one I had ever been to. It was a truly unique experience. Especially being blindfolded and then led straight into one. Very cool. On a different note, I am really excited about Halloween. I can't remember being this excited about dressing up since I was little and did Halloween. But I've got ideas all over the place if anyone needs a good costume. I think that a nerd would be a great costume...I have details...and then if you are in the mood for something more thoughtful, you could be Kabuki from the comic book Kabuki. One really needs to read the comic to understand that, but Halloween has never been about being mainstream or uncreative, so why not, right? I can think of a lot more, so email me if you want some costume ideas. Muhahaha! 9:25 p.m., Tuesday, January 5, 1904 Hello from UT, Knoxville! I'm here visiting my friends Liz, Allan, George, and Amanda. Last night Liz, George and I went halloween shopping, and Liz got this great blue wig. So we're gonna dress up tonight and go to a "surprise" place which I suspect is a haunted house or something like that. Liz is great at surprises. I always need to be reminded of how wonderful my friends are...since I'm 300 miles away from them (whether they be in Knoxville or Nashville) I tend to forget how at home I feel around them. They will be in school longer than me, so I think I might come to UT to do law school if I decide to do that. Wow....the prospect of what to do after college is different. It makes me excited just to think about it. I could go do graphic design, I could go to law school...I don't think I'll have any problems with finding a job...wow. This is huge! I have gotten way off topic. That's alright, it's my website. :) 11:26 a.m., Friday, October 27, 2000 Too...much...studying.....must...take....break.......vacation...needed.. On a side note I am really taking a vacation. Fall break starts tomorrow, and I'm taking a little road trip up to Knoxville, Tennessee to see my friends Liz, Allan, George, Amanda, and I'm sure some others I haven't seen in a while. I'm so excited...wheeee! 01:37 p.m., Wednesday, October 25, 2000 I'm working this morning in the exciting print room at the computer lab where I work. Let me just say that UCNS has very few perks, but one of them is getting to use Napster (wowee) while in the print room. I guess they know it's EXTREMELY BORING back here. SO anyways, I decided to look for my friend Jerry's band, Turing Machine (not turNing maching). If you Napsterized folks get a chance, go download some of these songs. "Robotronic" is a good one (and sofar my favorite out of the few I have heard), but get any of them you can. They sound electronic at times, but they use guitars and drums...no vocals at all. Very cool and different. So on the play list I've got Turing Machine, Amiee Mann, Propellerheads (one of their James Bond themes and then a Soul Coughing Super Bon Bon remix...aw yeah), Dido, and Tricky. Those are my musical selections for the morning. 08:35 a.m., Wednesday, October 25, 2000 Uhm...I guess I should comment on the new site I put up a couple of weeks ago. I did this design, and as I was coding it and all..I just started to hate it. You know how that feels? I mean, the mockups I created were great I thought, and then I started to code it up and realized that I TRULY despised the design (the phrase "if you love it, let it go" comes to mind..). But it's still up, and it's making me crazy to have people looking at stuff I don't like, but I have to have SOMETHING there. I have a test tomorrow so I don't have any time to redesign the folio section...then comes fall break...maybe Wednesday night I can do something. ANYWAYS, I'm sorry for the disorganized way that some stuff is just plopped in there. I've got a ton of new work that I will get together and you all can see that. There. 08:40 a.m., Tuesday, October 24, 2000 When I saw this atari flash movie, the memories just all came back, lemme tell ya. I can remember my dad and I programming atari games when I was 8! It would take me abooooout 3 hours to type in the code to make "snow" on the screen. Which is roughly yellow pixelated "flakes" (or squares, however you want to look at it) moving diagonally across the screen. And atari games were so much fun!!! I wish I still had those. If we only knew the value of things from the start. Link for movie via twoblocks. 08:30 a.m., Monday, October 23, 2000 Damn! I've done it once again! I have stayed up too late, and now I will not get enough sleep. Will I ever get 8 hours of sleep ever again?!?! I know I'm whiny, because I will only get 7 hours, but it's just not the same. Not when you have an 8am job 5 days a week. Yarg. 11:42 p.m., Sunday, October 22, 2000 Werd! My friend Corey now has his own pita (and let me just say he is WAY more ghetto than me..HAHA..C you know I love you right?). So that makes Armon, Seth, Stephanie, and Ezra, and I think I gave all these folks this crazy weblog idea. Wow. How flattering! (or am I flattering myself?) 11:17 p.m., Sunday, October 22, 2000 This is Sania as Clockwork Orange and me as (oh yeah!) La Femme Nikita on Friday night. Woo!
 03:14 p.m., Sunday, October 22, 2000 You know, we all have our weaknesses. Mine just happens to be any comic book done by a guy named David Mack. I'm sitting here perusing ehobbies finding all these lovely things I want to buy. Like the Scarab series, which I have #3 for but no other issues. Hm. Darn my lack of funds! 11:09 a.m., Saturday, October 21, 2000 Last night I went to a costume party at my friend Jessica's house. I went dressed up as Peta Wilson from La Femme Nikita. I had a blonde wig on and everything. So I'll post me as a blonde soon. Muhaha... And if you're wondering, my costume was really good, too. I even had a nickel-plated plastic gun which was holstered in my waistband most of the evening, and some big-ass silver sunglasses. I wore all black. And a whole lot of silver and black eye makeup (just because I like to do that..not because it's Nikita or anything..). 10:22 a.m., Saturday, October 21, 2000 You know, I always have troubles deciding how I want to layout photos on the web, and then I saw sixfoot6. Now I am inspired! Thanks to Jack for the link, even though he is unaware he gave it to me.. :) 09:54 a.m., Saturday, October 21, 2000 Well, today is a Baha'i Holy Day for me, so I have taken the day off from work and school. Yay! So I got sleep this morning...amazing! I actually feel like a real human being. Werd. This holiday is commemorating the birth of the Bab, meaning "the Gate" in Arabic. He was the Forerunner of Baha'u'llah, so he's a big deal to us :) So I will hopefully be spending today catching up on some domestic stuff, and reading, and doing stuff for the LSAT. I didn't tell the whole internet specifically, but I am thinking about going to law school. I know that's a change, but you don't need to have a specific undergraduate degree to do law school, and since I have these "issues" which you have been reading about, I think this might be a good move for me. Of course, I could totally bomb the LSAT and not go, which is quite possible, but I still want to try. Mind you, I could be a graphic designer for the rest of my life and be perfectly happy, but I will always wonder "what if I had gone to law school.." So that's that! 11:29 a.m., Friday, October 20, 2000 "Look at Houston, if you can look at it" 08:19 a.m., Thursday, October 19, 2000 I am officially changing my online newssource from cnn.com to bbc news. I am really surprised at the different feel to the news there. You all know I'm nerdy..I keep up with world events, okay? :) And on another completely unrelated note, check out symetri.com; this is the first site I've been inspired by in what seems like a while. 02:01 p.m., Wednesday, October 18, 2000 Whoa, Blondie has a great story up...only it really happened and it was scary. Shew. Let me tell you all what I saw coming into work today. Not quite as exciting as Blondie's story, but still weird. I was almost to Memorial Hall where I work on UGA's campus, and I saw a group of cops standing in a group near the front of the building. As I got closer, I noticed that there were about 5 cops and one civilian. They were all standing around a step outside which had a small box just sitting on it. Uh oh. Well, as I passed, I heard one of the cops say, "Well, I'm going to go ahead and open this." That was when I felt the urge to duck and cover behind the nearest concrete wall. I just walked quickly into the building and didn't stick around to be blown into bits with those gawking officers, who, I noticed, just stepped back when the other guy moved to open the box. Sheesh. No bomb explosions or anything followed, but you would THINK that there would have been more of a measure of security regardless. I guess the box was just someone's lunch, but if it wasn't, there would be 5 dead officers and two dead civillians (me and the other guy). Wow. 08:32 a.m., Wednesday, October 18, 2000 Stephanie and I have been giggling all morning over our stupidity. She blames it all on me, but she started it. After all, she showed me the fanfiction. It was her! All her!!! 10:05 a.m., Tuesday, October 17, 2000 AAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahha... 09:17 a.m., Tuesday, October 17, 2000 OH, the drama. I cannot tell you guys how much I love it. 08:11 a.m., Tuesday, October 17, 2000 I'm sitting here in the graphic design lab thinking how EASY it is for me to get distracted here and procrastinate even more. I also took a 2 hour nap which has made me unusually alert and giggly tonight. Darn these circumstances! 08:59 p.m., Monday, October 16, 2000 I have a brand new guestbook that works now. For you folks who have signed it, I am sorry that gbook.nu has been weird. They told me weeks ago that the problem would be fixed in a couple of days. I give up! The new one is better anyways :) And I see you guys in my referral stats! I know you don't sign my guestbook! I know who you non-guestbook-signin' people are! I archived that last page as it was extremely long. Thanks for scrolling. 08:45 a.m., Monday, October 16, 2000
