…or make new layouts. (the title is from the Oscar-nominatee for Best Song from the movie version of Phantom, sung by Minnie Driver in the film and Beyonce on the show, for some unknown reason…) I’ve actually had this done for a while, just never got around to putting it up. I was a little busy, if you hadn’t noticed. Hopefully this layout will only be up for a few months, as I hope to do something cool for Kingdom of Heaven, and that opens in May…we’ll see, I suppose. I need good pictures first.
And on the computer front…things are going ok, mostly. There are some printer issues, but perhaps it will work out. It’s very pretty, though, and sometimes it jumps on someone’s wireless network, though it’s titled my apartment number. Weird. I have to restrain myself from playing with it, since there are more important things to do like studying for orgo (speaking of which, I think the lab midterm was a near total disaster; thank goodness it’s only worth a lab report). I could tell you all about the damn 3 am printing session last friday/saturday night, but that would take up too much time before orgo starts. Don’t you just love it when you’re very far behind in reading? Boo.
I still want a vacation, but I doubt I’ll get a raise anytime soon, so said vacation, if it happens at all, would not consist of a trip. Alas for me and my lazing desires. Oh well. Better study while I can. And yes, I know there are things wrong with the layout. I will fix them. Soon. Just not now. Now is class. Adieu.

Yes indeedy, here’s the first entry with the new iBook. Egad, it’s late, so shouldn’t really be doing this. Everything seems to be in its proper place, but for the fonts I had installed…I’ll probably have to search them out again. Oh well. If that’s the only thing that’s wrong with a new comp I won’t complain! Busy busy day tomorrow. Er, later today. Best get some sleep or I’ll be napping while I’m isolating…trust me, that would be a bad thing.

Well, I’m back…Now Leo can putter around here and procrastinate all she likes. 😉

So, last friday night (after seeing Constantine all by my lonesome, which wasn’t a bad movie, as far as that genre of movies goes…) I was working on the part of my orgo lab that was due the next day. (Boo saturday lab. :O ) I realized that I had to print it out (which, really, I discovered, I didn’t have to, but it made more sense to have it printed out) and not having a printer at the apartment, ran over to work and printed it out (and faffed about, of course). Now, I left the computer on as I normally would, as it has a nice Phantom of the Opera screensaver which works as it should. The monitor has been flickering a little bit, but it always goes away. I fully intended to get a new computer soon…I realize I’ve been saying this for quite some time now, but the flickering really got to me. So it wasn’t quite a surprise when I came back and the screen was dark. Not dark like the computer was sleeping…so dark it was like the brightness had been turned way down.

I finally upgraded MT to version 3.15. Hopefully with the increased functionality of Blacklist 2.0 I can get a handle on this crazy spam. We’ll see.
I brought back the ‘ask me anything feature…has a snazzy little layout, it was, how you say, a quickie. I kill me with my little J-C reference. Check out the link at the top of the entries and ask a question! Perhaps I’ll have an answer for you 😉
