Two classes away. . .

December 12th, 2002 · 4 Comments

From being DONE with this semester! Well, done with the classes for this semester, anyway. I’ll still have to study for and take my finals. But those will be cake after this week. I never want to have a week like this again. I’ve just been getting more and more tired as the week goes […]

Ginny. . .

December 9th, 2002 · 4 Comments

is not dead! I went to Murray tonight and had my dad take a look at her. Turns out that when they reconditioned her, they forgot to put the screws back in the hard drive. So it kind of just– fell off. Unfortunately, despite the myriad of screws my dad has in his office, he […]

It’s days like today. . .

that convince me, as Anne Shirley put it, of “the total depravity of inanimate objects.” It’s just been one thing after another. First, I missed the bus this morning, so I had to walk to school. Then after I got off work, I pulled Ginny (my laptop) out of my backpack and sat down to […]

Two more weeks. . .

December 6th, 2002 · 2 Comments

Until this semester is OVER! I’ll be so glad– because then I won’t feel guilty about all the homework I’ve turned in late or not done at all, all the classes I’ve skipped, etc. It will be over and done with, with no chance to change it. My grades won’t be spectacular this semester, I’m […]

New Colors and Layout

December 5th, 2002 · 3 Comments

So, do you like? Wolf helped me with the design, I did the colors on my own. I hope it’s compatible with everyone’s browsers. There’s still a few problems to work out, but overall, I’m pleased.

Over the Top. . .

December 4th, 2002 · 2 Comments

That’s what my dad would say. He’s probably right. I’m on a crusade– to singlehandedly tell the world, or at least Utah, about TLC’s auction drive. They just posted a press release (I requested that they make one, but I don’t know if it was my suggestion that did it or if Mellie already had […]

December 4th, 2002 · No Comments

I added another banner to the top, ’cause it’s darn cool. But I like to old one still, too. So they’re both there. Wolf is helping me with my template. But considering that I have an 8-10 page research paper due tomorrow and I haven’t even started writing it yet, I doubt it’ll get done […]

December 3rd, 2002 · 3 Comments

You’ll notice I figured out how to change the color. On Moveable Type, there is not just one template, there’s about 5 million. It took me awhile to figure out which one I needed to change the background color in. Anyway, I was trying for a yellowed ivory idea. Did I succeed? I think I […]

New Banner

December 3rd, 2002 · No Comments

Every Harry Potter fan should click on the above banner. It links to The Leaky Cauldron, where they’ve set up a charity drive to buy this card, on which J.K. Rowling has written 93 words worth of clues to what’s in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. If we win, the words will […]
