OVID: THE ART OF LOVE (Letters from Paris to Helen and vice versa, and more classics from Ovid)
Paris in Greek Mythology
Myth Man’s Paris and Helen, part I and Part II (Funny stuff. Yay ancient literature gone arwy!)
And yes, I admit all this excitement is spawned by the anti-hero Paris, but deal. If Orlando is playing him I will be interested in him.
*giddy!*

::Goodie Two Shoes::
Onesome: Goodie– What is your your favorite “goodie” you treat yourself to when you’ve finished a project or maybe even just survived a long day? Ice cream? …a long bath? …a good book? A good book, definitely. Usually tv watching as well.
Twosome: Two— Quick! Two things that make you smile! No thinking, just write! Reading a good book and working out a problem with web design so it looks all pretty.
Threesome: Shoes— …and how about your favorite pair of shoes? You know, the ones you look for an occasion to wear! (Yes, guys that ratty pair of tennis shoes does count…) I love my new mocs. They’re so comfortable…but they’re not completely waterproof so I have to make sure it’s not going to rain before I wear them. And they’re still new enough that they look good as long as I’m being relatively casual.
Good for a laugh

Interpretation of Results
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who’s constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who’ll always cheer them up and help them out.
ETA: this is just a random wonder, but does anyone know how to get a layer to ONLY have overflow vertically? I am really peeved that I can’t just use auto because for some reason it’s adding a horizontal scroll bar and I don’t think it needs it… ah well, something else to figure out.
Love your blog(friends)
Standard
Today is Love-in 2004, where you go around to blogs you like and show your love. Hopefully there will be some love shown today… Alex and Leo I’d love to comment on your sites but I’m not going to get a Xanga. I love you anyway…But I’m going to try to head to other sites and send some love.
Even though the link says ‘snazzykat’ for some reason that site is down, so I’m referring you to the site that told me about it…
ETA: Take a look at this. It’s now three hours later and I still haven’t gotten around to giving love. Sigh. I’m working on it. As well as individual entry templates, the linkme page, and that bookshelf blog…

Happy Days for…things
StandardIf you’ve read any of this at all you know that today is special for two reasons: it’s my parents’ 28th wedding anniversary and Aspire to the Stars turns 2! Now, if I were really up to speed I’d make a cool graphic like I made last year but alas that is not to be. So I’d love it if you’d leave a comment and tell me how ATTS has changed your life, or lack thereof…comment on the new layout, anything, really. As long as you don’t spam me. I hate spammers.
Enjoy your day…soon I’ll go back to scraping wallpaper off the walls of my aunt’s house. whee! eh.
ETA: Kate turned 23 today! See, good things all around. Happy birthday, babe 🙂
and the stupidity continues
StandardWell, thanks to Alex actually *explaining* how horrendous this site looked before, I remembered that I had to add this domain to my list of hotlink-acceptable sites. Sorry for the horribleness. All I could see when I looked were the little x’s for pictures, not the ‘do not hotlink’ graphic I have for those bandwidth stealers.
And the new version 10 of Aspire to the Stars is up…not completely finished (I know, I know, the css is still the same as the last layout), but I hope to have it done by tomorrow or tomorrow night… we’ll see what I can get done around BrdU staining, making a card for my parents’ anniversary, Asherfest, and movies…
