There's no better way to say goodbye to the Millennium than watching The Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Laboratory on the Cartoon Network.

I usually don't do any sort of lists/resolutions for the new year, but I think this time I will come up with some:

• Try to work out more (sitting on the puter all day long doesn't help)
  
• Get a raise
  
• Do a better job around the house (but no cooking! I hate that)
  
• Try to keep in touch with my friends
  
• Save money for upcoming trips/emergencies

Some things I'm grateful for:

• My health and that my family is healthy
  
• My wonderful fiancé Eitel
  
• Stopping at the animal shelter and chosing Fluffy from the bunch
  
• For having food, a place to sleep and a job
  
• For all the wonderful people that I've met online: Bandido, Caso, Shannon, Jish, venx, eden, ivjazz, sonia, Shamita, Betcha, Brooke, mel, Jen and many more (if I missed you.. sorry!)

Happy New Year!

I saw this in a signature at an UBB: Invest in America. Buy a congressman.
Brilliant!

Is there a Diablo II Players Anonymous support group around where I can point Eitel too? He is addicted to that game (so addicted that he played during our trip to PR). I think I will pick up an addiction of my own. Maybe I will buy the Sims.

hehehe.. I should print this: BJ Etiquette for Men (warning: might offend some ppl)

I just bought this Barbie for $15 in Toys 'R Us. Lets see where I can put her now, I have too many of them. Next ones on my list: 1 2 3 4

upi upi!
Today I got my bonus! Now I'm off to pay some credit card bills.

It looks like the high school kids that ran GX Hosting failed to graduate! No wonder their service went downhill.

Eitel used to be with them, but changed hosts after a month or so because his site was down for quite a bit. Why he received the email is beyond me.

weird referral of the day: testicle+pictures

I'm back. And to top it all: I'm sick, hungry, cold, tired and did I say cold? But finally I get to sleep in my comfy bed.

Merry Christmas!
No snow here.. heh But so far I've received: a $125 JCPenney gift card from my parents, a watch and sunglasses from Eitel, a nice pair of Adidas tennis shoes from Eitel's mom, and I bought some jeans for myself. Not that much, but that's enough for me :)

Hope you all have a nice Christmas too. I will spend my day packing all my stuff and getting ready for the trip on Tuesday. Then my parents and some of their friends will come over to eat at Restaurant Puerto Esmeralda, a seafood restaurant owned by Eitel's parents.

Right now it's 73 degrees here in PR.. while it's -5 degrees back home in Michigan. I just hope that the cold that just reappeared doesn't get any worse when I get back home on Tuesday. And I really hope that I can leave the airport. My car is probaby buried on the snow at the airport in Lansing.

I don't know what's worse, the shopping crowds or the traffic to get in/out of the malls. If I have to go to the mall one more time I'm going to kill myself.

I finally have some time to blog. Driving between my house and Eitel's house is no fun. Our trip was uneventful, even the drive to Lansing while it was snowing went by without a hitch. Ever since I got here it has been raining every single day. It rains real hard for 15-30 minutes then it stops and the sun comes out, meaning that it gets really humid. Besides that, everything else looks okay. The road signs look better, there is alot of road construction going on and the airport still sucks when it comes to handling your luggage. I had to wait 90 minutes for my luggage. ugh

My family is okay. My brother just got on a motorcycle accident yesterday. His friend came over to show his bike (a motorcross one) and he decided to give it a try. He really didn't know how to handle that bike all that well, so I guess he lost control after making an u-turn and crashed somewhere in between the light pole and this palm tree. We had to take him to the hospital and all; no fractures or permanent damage, he is just all banged up. It could've been worse but he got lucky. He spent almost 12 hours on the hospital while they did all the x-ray, blood tests, yada yada yada. Hospitals here are just the worst place to go to when your sick. Even the ambulances suck. After waiting for an hour for a stinking ambulance to show up my dad called a private one who charged him $105 for the trip.

I still have to do some shopping and go visit my granma down in Guayama (75 min drive), and maybe I will get to see some of my friends (well, the ones that will return my calls, it looks like nobody's home). Well, that's it for now, gotta go and get some sleep so I can get up early tomorrow for the shopping spree.

Our flight leaves at 6am from Lansing, but since it's snowing it looks like we have to leave around 2am. Usually the drive is around 75 minutes but knowing how they don't plow the roads around here, I'm estimating that it might takes us 3 hours to get there. I hate winter storms and I hate even more the non-existant plowing crews here in Michigan.

So, blogging will be sporadic for the next couple of days, because frankly, on a 80 degree weather, I won't be spending that much time on the pc.

My alma mater, Penn State is ranked #12 in the America's Most Wired Colleges according to Yahoo. And thinking that back in 1994 the only way you could get on the internet was on the row of Macs sitting on the corner of this room. I remembered using Gopher and a mainframe account to do email, and the PCs were running Windows 3.11

Here are some pictures from today's winter storm. And as if eight inches of snow weren't enough, we are supposed to get five more inches tomorrow. The roads in my apartment complex are still covered with snow. I might not be able to move my car tomorrow!

Opera 5.0 with ads was just released and it's free. Not bad at all.. moves much faster than Netscape 6. From what I can see, most of the pages look fine with Opera. If you create your pages adhering (sp?) to standards, you should be ok.

I wonder if this was their wedding present: bitting off the groom's testicle.

My boss' boss told us that we could go home at 2:30pm. Not bad eh? So it took me an hour and a half to get here, that includes a stop at the post office. All the accidents were cleared by the time I got home. But I wonder, where the hell are all those cleaning trucks? The roads are nasty, three to four inches of snow on them and not a single truck on site. Did they get the day off?

The weather people now say that we are going to get six to ten inches of snow (or is it four to six?). Either way driving is going to suck this afternoon. I will be getting out of here early. And to complicate my drive even more, I have to stop at the post office today.

After reading this article, I'm afraid to confess that I actually watched Saved by the Bell religiously every single day. Still, I can't believe that they released a soundtrack and a board game of the show. Now that I think about it, I should believe it, even 90210 had all those released.

Forecast for tomorrow:
Snow developing by Noon. Accumulations of 1 to 2 inches
possible. Snow mixing with and possibly changing over to freezing
rain and sleet during the afternoon. Becoming breezy. Highs 27 to 32.
East wind 10 to 20 mph...Increasing to 15 to 25 mph.

Dammit, now I know what to expect on my drive home from work. Maybe I'll sneak out early to avoid the traffic on I-94.

Latest from RIAA, the U.S. Copyright office ruled that radio broadcasters are not exempt from licensing royalties when they simulcast their programs on the Internet. Does it means that now they have to pay the artist everytime they play their records both online and offline? And on their page it says that if you plan to broadcast your own radio station, you need to get a "performance license". Hum.. so all those people using Shoutcast to play songs are doing it illegally. Interesting stuff.

This is an interesting article on how to detect and try to lure away spambots from your site using Apache and PHP.

My TV family is: The Simpsons

Cue the blue skies, white clouds, and heavenly chorus — your family is most like everyone's favorite Springfield residents, The Simpsons! Your clan may not have spiky yellow (or blue) hair or only four fingers per hand, but Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie, and even Grandpa are still your family's TV soulmates. Sure, they squabble with the best of them (remember the time Bart burned Lisa's centerpiece? or when Homer ended up living in Bart's tree house after Marge got mad and threw him out?) but they always come through for each other when it counts. Look past the clever one-liners and surreal adventures, and you'll see a family with as much dysfunction — and as much love — as you and your nearest and dearest have in real life. So, to celebrate your Simpsonness, pull up a couch, grab a Duff beer, plop down in front of the TV, veg out, and thank your lucky stars that you don't have the Flanders family living next door!

Okay.. I'll just lay in bed with the laptop and the tv on. I love multitasking.

I'm so sick of this damn election deal. When will it end? Just keep Clinton for four more years, at this point I don't really care.

I know you people have some baby pictures laying around somewhere. Heck, I even found one here and I thought they were all back in PR. So why don't you go over here and submit your pic?

I'm going here in a week. Can't you tell I'm escaping from this freezing cold weather? The high is 87ºF during the month of December :-)

I don't want to sound mean but this is so funny, The Palm Beach Voter.

All free things always come to an end.

Today it was the mother of all traffic slowdowns. The roads were icy, snow was blowing all over the place and the idiots that think they can drive 85mph in this kind of weather were sliding and spinning all over the place. It took me over two hours to get to work, which is only 28 miles away (all highway). I'm just glad that I decided to get gas before hitting I-94, because I bet you a million bucks that I would've run out of gas on the interstate (I had a quarter of a tank left).

It looks like this page can crash Netscape 4.7 under Windows 98 at work. Wow.. I never did such a good job at crashing something ;-)

Looked who jumped on the weblog bandwagon: Mr. Bush Jr himself... heheh And speaking of Bush, this is selling on e-bay. Go and bid folks, because that ballot machine it's going to be a collector's item one of these days.

I just noticed that Nikolai lives in Michigan, heck he lives about 35 minutes from me and I used to work about 10 minutes from Westland. Small world eh?

Everytime I watch the movie The Mighty I cry like a baby at the end. It's a beautiful movie that focuses on friendship and human spirit.

Congratulations Jen on your engagement!

Finally uploaded the new layout. And I swear, no more layouts for some time. At least until it stops snowing here in Michigan, and that's going to be around March or April (how long it will take me to break that promise? hehe). The picture it's from tonystone and the pattern on the blue part of the background is from Photoshop 6 and it's the one that Eitel used on his blog but I changed the opacity a bit. Fonts used: OCR A Extended, Tall Paul and vargas.

I'm a sucker for online tests and this one is addictive! It's the Reflex Tester. My fastest time was 0.22 seconds.
<link stolen=scarecrow>

I've said it before... AOL IM sucks and this is one of the reasons why.

I got a new layout done, but I'm too tired to upload it right now. I made this wallpaper last week and instead of using it in my puter I decided to use it in my site.

No postings today to honor the World Aids Day. I've never met anyone that has AIDS but that doesn't mean that we can't learn more about this horrible disease. Want more information? Go to these places:

*drooling* Maybe I want this phone, the Kyocera Smartphone (it's a digital phone and a PDA running the Palm OS version 3.5). Now, if someone can combine a PDA and an MP3 player in one digital phone, I would buy it... eventually.

X-Men and Spider-Man now have an ISP: MarvelOnline.net ("the official Internet service of the Marvel Universe"). But this one is not free, you have to pay $19.95 a month. I think I'll stick with my cable modem.

If I have to pay my taxes, he should too, especially when he makes (much) more money than me.

This is the forecast on the weather.com page for Ypsi: Unknown Precipitation. Unknown? They don't know if it's snow, rain, hail, dogs? Can't they stick their heads out their window and look up?

I hate the local UPN affiliate here in Detroit. Why do they have to show the NHL, NBA and MLB games when the good shows are on?

I wonder why the Lettuce Ladies are better looking than the Broccoli Boys. And where are those Broccoli speedos? ;-)

According to this page, the native indians of Jamaica used to call the island Xaymara, the country of the forest and the lakes. I always thought that the indians used to call the rivers that way. Isn't that pretty?
(btw, the translation from German to English on that page is not that bad, I got the link from the View menu on Netscape 6)

Men can halve the risk of a major heart attack or stroke by having sex three or four times a week, a specialist in cardiovascular disease said on Tuesday.
So which one do you think some men will chose, going to the gym or having sex? That's a no brainer.

I probably mentioned this before, but I want the Samsung Uproar. Too bad that it only works on the Sprint PCS network, because I have Verizon. Right now the digital phone I have is the Samsung SCH-411. The nifty thing is that it accepts voice dialing commands.

The other day I made another wallpaper, she is Sydney from Danger Girl.

I'm going to start a fundraiser. What for? So I can get one of these cool panoramic monitors. You can send the money to my PayPal account! ;-)

What did I learned after the election? This.
My favorite one: "You can have a national crisis in America without talking about sex!"

The best thing about the Holidays is that you get invited to all these Christmas dinners/parties and you don't have to pay to eat! :-) Of all the ones I can attend, I can only go to one though, because my vacation gets on the way.

I can't sleep. This is why I should go to bed early on Saturday, so I would follow on Sunday. But nooooo, Xaymara can't do that. I will regret it tomorrow morning (oops, today) at work.

When will Kozmo come to town? Or do I have to move to SF or Seattle so I can start ordering from them?

Looks like Bush is going to win. May the Force be with us because we are going to need it. And am I the only one who thinks the Florida Secretary of State needs a makeover?
addendum: Actually, she looked good today, but I saw this one picture in which she looked like a clown! I'm serious!

Arrested again... When is Robert Downey Jr. going to learn?

Can you say busted?

It's Sunday already, which means I have to work tomorrow. Dammit, I don't want to. I want my vacation!

I can't believe it took me this long to watch South Park the movie. It's hilarious!

I am so addicted to the Nestle Wonderball. But the ones with the SweetTarts inside, not the Spree ones. I hate Spree. I'm so addicted that by just shaking the box I can tell if they have SweetTarts or Spree candy. Wanna buy me some for Christmas? *hint hint*

If I see any more turkey I'm going to throw up!

Note to self: never ever go out the day after Thanksgiving. You might get killed or else, some idiot might try to hit your car. Some asshole almost hit me when trying to go in between my car and this other car that was trying to merge into my lane. Then he proceeded to flip off the other driver. After that, I got some nice jeans from Old Navy and some misc. stuff at Kmart. That's all I can buy right now, I want to save some money for my trip in December.

I didn't make any turkey, we ate someone else's but we brought home soooo much of it that it's insane. I'm stuffed! Between the turkey, the cheese "flan" and the Midori cake, I probably gained 10 pounds.

Eitel is baking a Midori cake for the Thanksgiving dinner we are going to tonight. So far it looks so yummi. This will be the first time in 6 years that I will be going out on a Thanksgiving dinner. Last time was when I was a Senior in High School back in PR.

Referral of the day: escort+"ann arbor". Sorry, the only escort you will find here is my 1999 Ford Escort.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! And here are some Thanksgiving resources for those who wan to learn more.

Free stuff alert! Why pay for a magazine subscription when Barnes and Noble will do it for you. Just don't give them your real email address, create some hotmail/yahoo one and use that one. I bet you that you will receive lots of spam.

Four more hours for the long weekend to begin. I love (paid) holidays.

A little Windows haiku (via email):

Aborted effort:
Close all that you have worked on.
You ask far too much.

Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.

Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.

A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.

One of the reasons I moved out of my old apartment was that the place had this contract with this shitty cable company. We couldn't watch any ppv, get cable modem, even the tv guide didn't work all the time. So now we have MediaOne, which is better than that piece of crap. But now our complex signed an "exclusive agreement" with this company that I've never heard before (Starcom Broadband, Inc., I can't find them on the internet). They are supposed to offer digital cable and high internet access (which I have right now) but I wonder how smooth the transition is going to be. I can't live without my cable modem!

What's the point of having a carport if your car is going to get covered with snow anyways? Did I mention that I hate winter? brrr

Ahhhh.. isn't nice to post with no problems and slowdowns? Blogger is back in business.

It's snowing alright. Finally some accumulation (around one inch) but it's so cold. The windchill is in the negative numbers. brrrr In less than a month I will be complaining on how hot it's down in PR.

WDIV Channel 4 is having their own Survivor Challenge here in Michigan. I think they have to stay in Lake Michigan for 10 days. The prize: getting their house mortgage paid for a year.

Jish should get a radar. I love mine :D

Happy Birthday Becky! ( ¡Felicidades! )

"Lucy Liu received a brand new Porsche from the studio as a 'thank you' for her part in the (Charlie's Angels) film's phenomenal success".
This is another sign that I'm in the wrong business.

I received my first free deal, thanks to slimgirl. It's one of those headsets to use in the pc. Not bad at all.

And here comes SongSpy, just like Napster but with skins and plug-ins (which will be available *soon*).

Greymatter is like Blogger but it runs from your server. It has archives, comments system and you can use your own template. Looks neat.

It kinda snowed yesterday. And I say kinda because there was no accumulation (on the ground, but on the cars it's a different story) and it was actually more like wet snow that anything. But because of the moisture, there was black ice all over I-94. If that happens tomorrow, I know it's going to take hours to get to work.

I'm trying to decide which font to use. Is Arial @ 11px too small?

I spent too much time downloading fonts from flaimo.com. Back to the football game.

Geez, you can really screw things up when you forget to close the quotation marks on a title tag. *slaps myself* And I noticed that the Blog This! feature posts much faster than going through the Blogger page.

test

I can't wait to get X-Men on dvd.

With all this election mumble jumble, I knew this one was coming sooner or later. You can now re-vote in the Florida Presidential election. You don't even have to live in Florida! LOL

I only worked out one day so far this week, being sick sucks ass. I hope to do some tae-bo tomorrow.
Other than that, tomorrow is the big Michigan vs. Ohio State game. Go Michigan!

I'm going to be lonely at work. It's a holiday at Ford but since I'm just collocated there, I don't get it off. :-(

Oh please, get a grip: some are saying that Hooters "It's soft-core porn". People still have that type of mentality in the year 2000. I am SO glad that I moved out of that place.

Well.. Thank you Betcha! :-)

I just noticed that Netscape 6 uses about 25 megs of memory while running. Holy cow! They should include free memory with every download of NS6 ;-)

Blogger it's acting too slow today.

It's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too cold out there, I will stay sick if it keeps up.

Well, I gave up and downloaded Netscape 6. After many download attempts (and I have cable modem), I finally found their full download on their ftp site. My impressions so far:

- A little slow when switching windows and selecting items. No crashes so far though
- It now recognizes the title tag on the links.. yay!
- My page looks good on NS6. The only thing I didn't like was that the checkbox doesn't show up if your background is white. No border around it whatsoever (maybe because I have it set to border-style=none?)
- Can't post from Blogger since the posting area is completely taken over by one of the frames, and I couldn't download the bookmarklet thing from the settings. I copied it from IE.
- Renders pretty much the CSS correctly.

But kids, remember that you may need to update your dhtml and cgi scripts. More information can be found here

I love to read the "Where are they now: Teen Idols" type of articles. Yes, I know it sounds pathetic.

Sooner or later it was going to happen, stamps prices will go up a penny on 2001. Still, I don't think 34¢ is too much for a stamp.

If you have any questions about wtf happened on Florida, read this article. Is one of the best pieces I've seen so far. I specially like #4.

I'm feeling weird today. I have something in between a cold and the flu and I don't like it a bit. I've been laying on the couch watching Mission to Mars on dvd. As always I didn't want to watch the movie but ended up liking it. I've come to the conclusion that no matter if the movie is good or if it sucks, I will always like it as long as it has to do something with space exploration, medieval times or dark religious stuff.

Look... cute baby on sight.

Feeling much better, but watching how pathetic is Penn State playing against Michigan two miles from here. The first half is not even done and PSU missed three out of four field goals.

I hate getting sick.

Hummm.. if I had time I would post mine but gotta run. But I have my college in the meantime. :P

I was going to bitch about the recount in Florida but instead I'll link to derek's post. He took the words out of my mouth.

Too close still?? omg.. this is insane. People at work are going to be hitting reload to their browsers all day long.

This is too close!! I can't sleep dammit! How can they lose some of the ballots in Florida in a night like this? I'm afraid that Bush is going to win, then we are doomed!!!! As a result I will be moving with Shannon to Canada.

It looks like Gore is going to win Michigan. But darn this is too close to call... Did you know that people on Oregon mail in their ballots?

Well, FINALLY the the day is here. So get out and vote, if you don't then don't complain on how the administration handles things. I have to work tomorrow (lousy !@#$%^) but the people at Ford don't, so it should be an easy day.

Warner Bros. online reports Britney, 18, who did a startling striptease act for the MTV Music Video Awards in September, had her nipples pierced in April while shooting a video in Hawaii.
All I have to say is.. ouch!

Today I watched tv pretty much all day long. I watched American Beauty, End of Days, the Growing Pains reunion, The Simpsons, Sex and the City and some part of Star Trek Voyager. I really liked End of Days, I wasn't expecting that ending.

Monopoly dot com Edition.. too cool, I want one.

I guess yesterday was a bad day for football. Michigan, Michigan State and Penn State lost. And I didn't watch any of the games.

hmmmm, carne asada.. I'm going to make my mom cook carne asada when I go visit PR in December. Gosh I'm drooling just thinking of it (that and pernil, lechon, alcapurrias, bacalaitos.. you Americans are missing something good on your diet :P )

Since all my bills are paid and I didn't have to buy new tires, I went shopping. I got 2 skirts, 3 turtlenecks, one pair of pants and a pair of boots for ~ $90.00 Not bad at all!

The US Post Office should have a mailbox right outside my apartments (with all the bills I mail every month.. uff) but noooo, I have to go all the way to K-Mart to mail them. Sucks!

I thought people learned from their mistakes (well, most of them). But it seems that Bush didn't want anyone to know that he made one. oops!

Britney Spears will host the American Music Awards live from Los Angeles's Shrine Auditorium on January 8
I bet some guys are wondering what she will (not) be wearing.

Jish, eggs and ketchup sounds as bad as apple pie and ketchup. Yeap, I have a friend that eats that everytime she goes to BK

Just what I need, another application running on my taskbar. But this one is cool: it tells you the temperature for your city on real time plus forecast information, warnings and stuff. (link stolen from matt)

I made another wallpaper: Hello Kitty.

Now I have tons of Hershey's Kisses left over since all the kids decided to go trick or treating before I got back from work. Must-resist-temptation!

Why don't we play the game "Lets guess how long it will take Xaymara to get to work today?" I hear on the radio that there is a 4 mile backup on I-94. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Ya quisiera yo dibujar como Beto. Nice redesign btw!

Want to create more colors just by dithering two or three browser safe colors? Go to Colormix and try using their free mixer.

Remember kids to set your clocks back one hour, or you will be late for school/work/church!

I'm switching servers, so islabonita.net will be pointing to two different ip addresses. I'm moving from Xeran to Below 10 host. Ever since I got my cable modem, ftp'ing to Xeran was very slooooooooooooooooooooooow. Plus I'll save ten bucks this way. Any broken links will be fixed soon (I hope).

Happy Birthday Candi! Now you can rent a car without paying extra for being under 25.

Winamp 2.666 is out. That is some freaky version number.

I bet that whoever bid for this PS2 is having a laugh right now.

My man and Jen have new layouts. oooh redesign is on the air.

Who does AOL's research... dogs? I didn't know that people got confused by having a Home icon on the bar.

Want to get the PS2 badly? Go to ebay. One of them sold for $1525! Jesus Christ! I guess some people don't want to wait until Spring to get theirs. Being poor sucks!

Did anyone get the PS2? Here in the news, they were at Meijer and they only had 20 of them, all taken since people were in line since 10am!! They don't expect another shipment until mid-December. Holy macaroni!!!!! My boyfriend's brother reserved his months ago (back in May and think) and EB called him to tell him that if he didn't pay in full right there over the phone (this was a month ago), he would have to wait until December to get his. THAT IS INSANE!!!! I think Sony did this in purpose.

Latest jingle stuck in my head: My Chalupa from those Taco Bell ads.

Just what I need, two accidents on I-94 east. Is going to take me forever to get to work! I love this page.

"We want our teachers to be trained so they can meet the obligations, their obligations as teachers. We want them to know how to teach the science of reading. In order to make sure there's not this kind of federal cufflink." - George W. Bush, Fritsche Middle School, Milwaukee, March 30, 2000

"Will the highways on the Internet become more few?" - George W. Bush, Concord, N.H., Jan. 29, 2000

Get all your favorite Bushisms here. The more I read these quotes, the more I know that I'm not voting for this guy. I think I'm voting for Nader even though he will lose, but at least I won't waste my vote on Bush.

For most of my searches, I would just type go 'keyword' on the IE address bar and a search window would open on the left side of my browser with all the results. That way I could keep looking at the results and see some of them to the right. But somehow now it just opens all on one window. wtf?? I liked it better the other way. When did they changed this?

Hey katie, at work they charge for coffee. OTOH, I get free bottled water.

Oh no!!!!!!! The Rock lost the WWF Championship to.. to.. Kurt Angle. ugh! I can't stand "Mr. Three I's". Now I will have to put up with his (and Stephanie's) cockiness (sp?) for weeks to come.

Thanks to a link that someone posted over Dan's blog, now I'm addicted to this game. I wonder if I can play this from work.. hmmmm.

Did some house cleaning: bye bye archives from 6 months ago.

Did you know that the Playboy site runs on a Solaris running Netscape-Enterprise 3.6? Find what other domains are using right here

Is it too late to do tae-bo??? bah, I think I'll do it anyways.

Playing around with php again, so now you can post your comments right from the blog. Neat! I got it from here, and if I could just figure out how can I add a separator (like --) between the email and the comments I would be a happy camper.

My fortune according to hummer:
in the middle of incredible sex, an aeroplane will fall from the sky and crash after sex!

Note to self: no sex this weekend

Everyone is on a redesign mood! Eden made a layout for Shannon. It's gorgeous.. I'm so freaking jealous.

lisette has a spanky new layout. Loooove the orange darling!

Speaking of the plane tickets, we bought them tonight. In two months I will be escaping from the freezing cold Michigan weather to the warm (hot, comparing to how cold is going to get up here) Puerto Rican weather. Plus no work for two weeks (can't beat that!).

I might be going home for Christmas after all! *does happy dance* If we can get the price for the tickets this afternoon.. we are set. $500 plus taxes, from Lansing, MI (75 miles from here) to Cleveland then to San Juan, almost 2 weeks. Not bad, I wish it was cheaper though.

I got off my butt today and did Tae-bo. I need to jump back on the wagon so I can look decent for next summer.. :P

After six seasons, Xena: Warrior Princess has been cancelled, due to low ratings.. Even though I haven't watched the show in a while, it's too bad Xena is getting cancelled. It was one of the few good shows that I could watch over the weekend (you can only watch so many sports each week you know?).

I'm so proud of myself. I've been sitting at the puter for 2 hours tonight. That's a record for me! I watched some tv for a change (Dark Angel and Son of the Beach were on).

I tried to watch the presidential debate but I just can't get into it. I only caught one part of it, when they were talking about affirmative action, and noticed how Gore just kept asking Bush all these questions and then the moderator caught him off in the middle of a sentence and said "Lets move on". That was great!

I don't understand Netscape. The newer the version the worse it gets? At work I have Netscape 4.7 (Win) and the page looks fine (2 lines instead of three but I can deal with that)... but at home, with version 4.75, the lines don't repeat (I have them as cell backgound with limited width on the cell, they should repeat). ?!?!?!?!?!? If I can figure this out then I will call myself the "Netscape master".. heh

All these new chips are making my AMD K6-2 500Mhz look like a turtle.

woohoo! I learned how to parse files using SSI, so now it will be so much easier to change all the pages! *does the happy dance*

I miss that feeling, damn work gets on my way. *sigh*

I don't feel like changing the other pages, so I guess I'll do it sometime this week.

ok.. it looks so bad on Netscrape 4.75 (Win) but I tried everything and can't get that line to show up all the way on the table. I give up! Any ideas why is doing that please let me know

why that BlogScript tag keeps showing up on my page? $&*)($&#)&$*#)$)(#

testing... 123

I'm working on a new layout for the domain. So far it looks like this. If you see any bugs please let me know.

I want to do this, which is the same as this.

I get all these emails on how they still have seats available for the WWF Raw show at the Joe this coming Monday, but when I go to the Ticketmaster site tells me there are no seats available. Bastards!

I didn't see this item on the Hello Kitty section at Target
<stolen=link>jo</stolen>

I am so freaking bored. I should clean around the house (since it's a mess, clothes and computer stuff everywhere), but that's no fun. I wish I knew more people around here.

All I can say about surfstation.lu is... WOW

I started on a new project at work today. I will get to work with suppliers that make all those nifty car/truck accessories.

Where did my weekend go?  I went out on Friday night with Eitel and some of his friends from work. First we went to this place in Ann Arbor that they brew their own beer (can't remember the name, it's by Mongolian BBQ).  Then we drove to Ypsilanti and stopped at Sticks (I think that's the name) and played some pool (not me, I suck at it so bad) and had some drinks.  I had too many Long Islands and I was very buzzed by the time we got home (around 2am).  Then on Saturday we watch some football with some friends and played some Monster Madness.)

For the first time in a loooooooooooong time I barely sat on the puter, only to check email.

I got a haircut today. Like it?

This is what I get for saying the word "porn" once on a post, another weird Goggle search.

The people at AT&T@Home are idiots. It seems that they are having lots of problems at State College and their answer? "We didn't expected that many people to sign up". HELLO?!? You bring cable modem service to a college town and don't expect people to sign up? You morons. They also blame the heavy usage of Napster for the downtime. Yeah right Sherlock.

And what they recommend the students to do while this gets fixed? "AT&T @Home is urging their customers to be patient and advising them to refrain from using the Internet in peak hours until the dilemma is cleared up." Hey, I pay for the darn service I should be able to use it whenever the hell I want.

Sorry for the rant, but things like this piss the hell out of me.

Hey, if it worked for Jish then it might work for me also:
YOU haven't signed my guestbook.

bwaahahahahahahahaha

I can't wait for the new (and final) season of ST: Voyager to start tonight. Any episode that involves the Borg is a good episode.

Some people are just sick.

After four years, I got contacts again. Now they are disposable lenses(Acuvue2). People say that I look very different.

If you want to get more hits, make sure you get mentioned on six.nu.  I don't think I've ever had this many hits from just one site ;D

I "only" use Napster to find those 80's Spanish songs that I can't find on cds.  I guess I still have more time to do it >:)

Another boring afternoon, another wallpaper made.  It reminds me that winter is coming, whether I like it or not. brrrrrrr

six.nu is the cutest domain I've seen.  Can you believe Felicia is only 15?  Nice job Felicia!

I also have two entries on bloghop. I added one yesterday but I guess it's reading the other one from the blogger directory.

flip flop flyin' is such a cool site. Look what I found over there:

  

I completely forgot about the final episode of Big Brother. Oh well, life goes on.

I get about 30 hits a day (on average) and no one signs my guestbook

I'm jumping on the bandwagon and my superpower is time travel!

Stop the clock! Your inner superpower is TIME TRAVEL! Your answers show a keen sense of insight for all the mysteries of time. Whether you enjoy reminiscing about the past or find yourself lost in thoughts of the future, your energies definitely point away from the present. Maybe you're mere seconds ahead or behind the rest of us, but you could also be days or even years out of sync. Your unique position in time and space gives you a wider perspective on daily events and makes you an especially wise person. You're probably a great planner. And since time is yours to play with, it's almost a given that you manage it well. If you haven't yet taken a trip through the fourth dimension, you're in for the ride of your life. Don't delay! Visit the future. Fix the past. And when you come across a very special moment, make it last as long as you like.

If I change the last question then I get animal comunication. hmmmm

If you ever go to State College, PA (where Penn State is), beware of what you wear or you might get arrested for something like this:

Disorderly Conduct: A 22-year-old male was cited Wednesday afternoon for wearing a "F**k Petrol" T-shirt while riding a bicycle on the 200 block of East College Avenue. The shirt was seized.

Pennsylvania is way too conservative for my taste.

I added a section where the latest news will show up thanks to moreover. It's really neat, you can use js, flash, xml, etc. to get them in your page.  WARNING: Might take a bit to load since it's grabbing four categories from moreover.

This is one of the best Behind the Curtain galleries I've seen. You rule Dan.

I updated my resume. I was really bored :P

This is soooo cool!

I didn't know that synchronized diving was a sport at the Olympics.

Surprise surprise... Penn State is losing to Ohio State. Look.. another fumble! Blah, they suck ass this year. I guess they are not even ranked and if they keep it up no bowl this year.

Now CBS is showing reruns of Survivor. I bet that gets more ratings than the boring Olympics at NBC.

And while I can't find anything interesting on tv (and I have digital cable with all the channels, 200+), Eitel is playing Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force. I don't blame him, since the game is based on the Quake 3 engine, it looks cool and it's kinda like watching a new episode.

My new work hours are 8am-5pm. So I get to the office and only 2 people are here (the HR/Accountant and Secretary). Hum... I bet that if I get here late I wil get yelled at (murphy's law at work!).

So now the new slogan will be No quiero Taco Bell?

Thanks to everyone for all the cards and good wishes on my birthday. Eitel got me one of the nifty Wacom tablet like this one:

Happy Birthday to me!

My flavor is licorice:

Mmm ... licorice! Strong and edgy, you're the flavor of black jellybeans and Good 'n' Plentys. Some people absolutely love you (in fact, they might even find you addictive), but you're definitely not for everyone. But that's okay with you — you'd rather pick and choose your companions. When you have time for friends at all, that is. Powerful and very potent, you're goal oriented and ambitious — you don't let much stand in your way. There's nothing sweet or sugary about you; you're a serious taste that's best suited for the truly focused. Lingering, enigmatic, and a little hard to pin down, you're a truly tantalizing treat.

I guess most of it is true. I'm a very picky person ;-)

Finally the webloggers ring is moving out of Yahoo/Webring.org, so if you are on it then go to this page and sign up again.  Poor Jish will have to add 700+ sites to the ring.

I found this nifty PHP script so I decided to use it.  The gallery of pics from my new place (before we moved in) is up.

Am I the only one who thinks that CBC's olympic coverage is much better than NBC's? Living close to Canada has its advantages.

T-2 for my birthday! :-)

I really hope that my phone keeps working, because waiting two months for a repairman to come and fix it sucks. No wonder why we now call the telco AmeriCrap. Now that I think about it, the only people that call me are the telemarketers.

Layla has a new layout! I love it and I'm so jealous of her webdesigning skills.

I don't want to work. Can't you see that my bed is calling me?

I'm watching Big Brother and all I can say is.. ZzZzZzZz

Britannica is analyzing Dennis Miller's commentaries from Monday Night Football. Now I can really understand wtf he's trying to say.

Oh no, another "reality" show awaits us in the near future. What's next, 12 strangers stuck in a sub in the middle of the ocean?

Attention to all font whores like myself: another cool font site. Thanks to Katie for the link

I like it. Nice redesign and the font for the graphics is so cool (which font is that btw?).

I forgot all about the Emmys tonight. Notice how their domain ends on dot tv. First one I've seen so far.

It looks like I'm 72% pure. Is that good?

T-8 days for my birthday!!!

I'm still wide awake. Nobody is online in ICQ, nothing interesting on tv and the net. blah... I'll regret it probably on Monday when I won't be able to stay awake at work.

I've been watching the MTV VMA 2000 by pieces this week. Britney lipsynched her song. And the Wayans brothers weren't funny, bring back Chris Rock!

What's wrong with some guestbooks? Pretty much every time I sign one from gbook.nu I get this message saying that "rebuilding guestbooks is temporarily disabled, however your entry has been saved". Is this an option or something??

What a cuttie!

and before I forget... TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG, a Hello Kitty Dreamcast. Too cute! I want one :-)

Yuck! This is the ugliest webring code out there. Yahoo!, you suck for taking over Webring.org and screwing up all the features. Want to hear the horror stories.. click here

To (almost) complete our home network, now we have a HP JetDirect EX Print Server. What else I want? a Mac and a cable modem/dsl router.

Aww how nice of Rosie O'Donnell.

"Rosie O'Donnell kicked off the fifth season of her talk show with a Survivor-themed installment in which she presented losing castaways Rudy, Sue, Colleen, Gervase and Gretchen each with a 2001 Pontiac Aztek, the same vehicle awarded to $1 million winner Rich Hatch."

Sent via email: Star Wars gangsta style. Too cool!

Look how cute Fluffy looks in this picture:

I found a great site with lots of content. The owner is a geekgirl who's 23, a Virgo, likes computers and geek stuff (like me). Heck, I think she is geekier than my fiancé! Only difference, we have more computers at home than she does (4 PCs, 3 laptops). Go visit her blog!

Looking for some links on web tutorials and design tips among others? Go to ctrl+d.

Want a blog but don't know where to host it or you think ftp is too complicated? Try blog*spot. It's free and it has a banner on the page but hey, it doesn't look that bad.

This is funny. Here is my site Jesusfied (warning, annoying midi will play after download). Reading the site like that reminds me of those English books I had to read in High School that I couldn't understand thanks to those big English words (Of Mice and Men comes to mind).

A made new wallpaper, it's Saturn from Sailor Moon. If you like it grab it.

I learned something today. To get SSI working correctly, all the files have to be on the same directory. I originally had my SSI files on a separate directory but when I uploaded the index.shtml file I got a error on the place where the SSI is. So now the Blog is powered by SSI ;)

Puerto Rico's governor decided that the island should be like the east cost and go to daylight savings time. PR is in Atlantic Savings time and they don't change the time when we do. It really doesn't make any difference specially since we are closer to the equator than the US is. But obviously he doesn't care. So when the change occurs, at 7am it will still be dark. On the good side, now the tv shows on cable will be on at the same time.

I can't believe that Toledo is kicking Penn State's butt on today's football game. Penn State has no offensive, their quarterback sucks ass and almost all the defensive starters from last year left for the NFL or graduated. I think I will start watching Michigan's games (maybe I should just walk to the stadium which is not far from here, about 3 miles)

See what happens when you train people on a real computer? Maybe we should start training on one of those Hot Wheels/Barbie computers.

I should've taken the day off, then I would've had a 5 day weekend. Oh well, off to work to sleep.. oops.. work.

I finally got rid of the purple colors on my Add-a-link page. So now go there and link your site!

Here comes Yahoo again, buying eGroups.

If you are a Ringmaster from webring.org and don't want to jump on the Yahoo! wagon when they finally take over them, look at RingSurf. It's free and basically does the same thing.

I'm dying here! It's so hot and humid. There is no way that I will walk around today, I might die out there with no water! :P

I want this one and this one. Oh, and this one too! I'm a sucker when it comes to collecting Barbies.

I've been playing around with SSI. I thought it was hard but it isn't. I just can't think of a way to implement it on my site. The only thing that I change constantly are the archive's links and the blog's links. But to do that is not that hard. Maybe for my next layout.

Humph! More than half of the blogs that I had bookmarked are gone! I guess the fad is dying. But don't worry, I will keep on boring you people day after day. :P

Ouch! They lost

For those of you looking for more alternatives to gbook.nu, here's one: getstring.com.

Who wants to get me one of these *drools* Pentium 4

I really mean it this time when I say that I'm going to clean up the old place today. Five days left and then I will officially check out of the apartment.

I'm glad I wasn't at Comerica Park last night for the Invasion of the Flying Ants

People!! you won't find any recan porn here. And what the hell is recan? Like rican as in Puerto Rican? I have no idea.

Well, I will spoil it for all the West Coast people..... Rich won (4-3) and Kelly came in second. I was so sure that Kelly was going to win, but I guess she picked the wrong number. And I must say, Sue, you are a bad bad loser.

Who will win the million in Survivor? I'm going to watch! I don't want to be left out :P

Happy Birthday to you!
¡Feliz Cumpleaños a ti!

Congratulations on the closing of your house, Silver!

This guy is so talented. I love his writing and his design. I can't remember how I got here but I'm glad I did.

I'm too lazy to change guestbooks again, but if you are sick of gbook.nu, look at Megabook. It runs from your server (need cgi and perl) and the best part, it's free and no ads!

My cable modem got installed today and I downloaded Netscape at 178 KB/sec. I couldn't go over 100 KB/sec with the DSL. I love high speed access :)

Let's see if Mediaone can finally come over and install the digital cable/cable modem. Watching only local channels from Detroit and Toledo is no fun.

oh my god!!!!! fonts, fonts and more fonts!! I'm going crazy here at The Font Machine.

I want this.

Bar bought some blank CD-R cds so now I'm off to burning some Spanish mp3's, that way I won't be bored at work.

I didn't know that Christina Aquilera had pointy ears like a vulcan. It looks like she does on this lunchbox.

I dig metal lunchboxes. Too bad they don't sell them anymore. Maybe I will start collecting them.

Oh.. and I have no idea how people can live without cable! Toledo local channels have a better reception than Detroit's (at least on my tv).

Finally! Everything is here, now I need to unpack all the clothes, books and other stuff. Then the place will stop looking like a nut house.

Here are some pictures of the townhouse. I like it!

One more month to my birthday!! I'll be 24 on September 18^th
Tomorrow some of Eitel's friends are coming over to help move the big things then all we have to do is clean clean clean the old apartment. To make things worse, it feels like Fall around here. It got down to 50 (F) last night and I think the high today is 62. brrrr

I swear that I won't move again!!! Too many things to move back and forth and we still need to clean the apartment.

So, the cable guy never showed up. The excuse? That I called and rescheduled the appointment for Monday. If I did that, then why I was sitting around all afternoon waiting for these morons to come? Then they said that they called... yeah right, no voice mail left and the number didn't show up on the Caller ID. Liars! Now I have to wait until Monday to get the cable modem and the digital cable installed. *sigh*

Did I mention that my fiancé Bar also redesigned his blog? It's contagious! And if you sign his guestbook and mine, I'll give you a virtual cookie.

Go figure, the day I'm supposed to start moving my stuff to the new townhouse, it gets all cloudy, hot, humid and with a big chance of thunderstorms. I just hope that the rain stops before the cable guy comes in.

Booooo to AOL

This is what my cat's name means:
Fluffy
Information about this name:
Related Name:Fluff
Meaning: Covered with fluff, Soft, light and airy.
Screen Details: The name of the family cat in the TV series the "Brady Bunch". Cartman's pet pig in "South Park".
Cat Rank (AU): 35 Cat Rank(US): 24

Well, she is soft, somewhat light and she can get some airtime when jumping from the window to the bed (or from the top of the cupboards to the floor).

Oh no! It's Jabba the Hasselhoff

I snuck out of work early today! I have to run some errands and go to the Secretary of State and change the address on my registration, driver's license, etc etc etc

Dang it, the weekend is over and I have to work tomorrow. But, on Tuesday I get the keys of the townhouse we are going to be living in. So I'm excited!

I'm hungry.. what should I eat? I'm craving Little Ceasars' breadsticks.. yum!

The latest spam I just received (don't you just love it):

Dear Friend:
AS SEEN ON NATIONAL TV:

''Making over half million dollars every 4 to 5 months from your home for an investment of only $25 U.S. Dollars expense one time''

THANKS TO THE COMPUTER AGE AND THE INTERNET!
===============================================
BE A MILLIONAIRE LIKE OTHERS WITHIN A YEAR !!

sure dude, if you are so rich why using a fake email address like 31CP4M8cM@PCMoenkeberg.gwdg.de (I doubt that anybody will have that kind of email address)? Maybe it is because you are in the Philippines using epic.net... bah!

Happy Birthday Zal and Lilian! Now, as a reminder, my birthday is coming up in one month and six days, so y'all can start saving your $$$ for my presents

and it actually looks decent in Netscrape. I don't like how the form looks in NS but oh well

I think it works... yay! and my blinking part of the image was inspired by Brooke's park sign on her beautiful layout

Testing the new layout

I want to do a new layout for Islabonita but I have no idea what to do. none.. zip... nada. I think I will surf around tonystone and find that perfect photo.

I don't know how I found this site, but I think the url will explain everything: http://www.cousincouples.com/

I downloaded the PC version of the card game UNO and I'm addicted. I used to play it alot when I was in school and now I can't stop. HELP!

Another laptop up for auction on ebay.

If you use it from within MSN Messenger it's free, well at least from the US.. oh, and from Canada too (according to their page).

The Net2Phone that comes with MSN Messenger is much better than Dialpad, plus it lets me call to Puerto Rico for free! (Dialpad can't do that yet)

Weird referral of the day: pikachu+picture+dying+killed

Instead of stealing lobsters, he stole some human corneas.

She is buying a new house! Hopefully my time will come... one of these days... whenever I finish paying my $25K worth off student loans (in like 9 years). Oh, and Silver, your permalinks don't work. You have to place an anchor tag before the blogger body tag.

The weekend is here and I have get motivated to start packing. We have so much stuff now! Two years ago we had nothing! (only a full size bed that I bought and clothes). I think I'm really going to like the new townhouse. I already ordered digital cable and the cable modem (DSL would take forever to get transferred/installed, plus the cable modem installation was free whereas I would have to pay $200 to get the DSL transferred). I also started buying new things to decorate the 1.5 baths. Next I think I will buy some framed pics to hang on the walls. Oh and don't forget the BBQ, since now we will have a patio we can grill our own food!

Oh please! If you don't want to get burn don't order hot drinks! The keyword here is HOT. Get it?

In Electra, TX, you have to use your toilet at least five times before flushing because of the drought.

ugh! It looks ugly

Hmm... they look similar to me, but I've never heard of Cobalt's Qube

"The domain: islabonita.net, is ranked #383552 out of 776578 domains in the WebsMostLinked.com database". I guess that's not bad. Other stats as of tonight:
- whitehouse.gov (86)
- psu.edu (101)
- ebay.com (216)
- napster.com (3581)
- blogger.com (11928)
- borders.com (242904)

The next couple of weeks are going to be hectic. In two weeks I can move-in to my new townhouse, and by the end of August I move-out of here. So I will be packing, cleaning, transferring accounts, trying to get cable modem, etc etc etc. So if I don't post much, now you know why.

I received the letter from the apartment place we've been looking for saying that we've been accepted. Now if I can sell those laptops I can afford the security deposit without emptying my wallet (which I really need in September.. darn student loans).

I guess that I forgot to watch Survivor (again!!). And I don't even bother to watch Big Brother anymore. Did you hear the latest news on JenniCam? What she did to her friend was very low.

I just noticed this a couple of days ago, on ICQ, when you select the Send a Web address option, you see a banner from Network Solutions at the bottom of the window. I swear it wasn't there last week. Am I crazy?

Get all your mp3's now while you can, because on Friday Napster gets shutdown *sniff*

I have another laptop up for auction on E-bay. And this one is still on.

Sure Britney, and I'm Queen of France. bah

Oooh.. I'm green with envy, I want those Animal Crackers. yum!

She is back. yay!!!!!!!!!!!

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuure you didn't know that was enabled.. like I'm going to believe that

My newest wallpaper. Enjoy!

NEVER leave a camera around me when I'm bored. I might end up taking pictures like these. I'm not responsible for the damage that these may cause to your monitor.

Well... Thank You and you're welcome

Hum.. so the G8 want to help developing countries get access to the internet but they won't cancel part (or all) of the debt that third world countries owe. I can see it now: "Mommy can we get medicines?? No son, but you can look up the info on the net and learn how can these medicines could help you if we could afford them". Want to learn more??? Go here and here

Zannah is getting married today. Congratulations!

All I can say is ouch!!! I wonder, if a guy did that to a girl (well.. the concept), I don't think he would get charged with simple assault. He would get something worse.

Whatever it was causing the problem, deleting the Blogger cookie from IE fixed my login problems. Now it knows who am I... TGIF!!

Can someone explain to me why I can't login to Blogger with Internet Explorer 5.5? It was working yesterday but I can't get it to work today. So I have to open up Netscape to post. grrr

We were looking at apartments yesterday and decided to go across the street to see what was available. Eitel fell in love with the townhouses but they didn't have any available for the dates we plan to move in so we reserved a 2-bedroom apartment with a balcony. Now we have to wait to see if we get accepted.

Now I get some Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error when I try to post using the Blog This!. wtf??

I have a laptop up for auction on e-bay. Interested??

A while back there was some "blogging" related to the Clip from MS Word being evil. Well, here is another reason to hate Clippy.

Tonight I'm going to WCW NITRO at the Palace of Auburn Hills. We got some good seats on the floor so I hope I can have fun and see lots of good fights. I still want to go to a WWF show but they always sold out before I find out about it.

New camera, new toy to play with.. so I took some pictures and here they are

hum... ever since I upgraded to IE5.5, Blogger never remembers me. What's up with that??? Oh.. fixed some of the archives' links, I messed up when typing the code.

I just bought (not now, yesterday!) this digital camera. It might not be the best one out there but for all the stupid pictures that I take it's worth it.

If you want to start a website and don't know where to start, Ctrl-d has a list of links where you can go.

Finally got a copy of the Ultimate Guestbook thanks to Leigh and Jessicka. So go here and sign damnit!!!!!!!!!

If anybody has the Ultimate Guestbook available, can you please email it to me? I'm getting sick of gbook.nu and want to keep my guestbook on my site.

Just finished downloading/installing IE5.5... I love my ADSL!

Finally... Internet Explorer 5.5 is here.. please excuse me while I download IE.

I can't wait to watch the X-Men movie tomorrow

Yesterday when I came back from work I was about to do the same thing I do everyday, sit and read some blogs/ubbs. But this time it was different. I turned the monitor on and this buzzing sound suddenly started to come out of my monitor. The screen looked like it just went through some aurora borealis and you could smell some smoke. I bought the 19" monitor just a month ago and I was SO pissed that I couldn't even remember if I kept the receipt or of I threw it away.

So we went back to the store to see if I could get a replacement or if they could send it in to get it fixed. It seems that the monitors they have now on the store are the older models and since mine was the newer model, they couldn't get me a new one. So I returned it and got the money back into my credit card ($290 total). So now I'm back to my 17" monitor. Maybe next time I will buy a 21" instead.

Why is it that when I need to talk to somebody about work they're not at their cube???

I can see some people are having fun by just clicking Hit me! on the email form instead of writing something first. Are you that bored??? :P

Oops.. they did it again.

Note to self: Always click on Post and Publish instead of Post.

I got up 20 minutes ago realizing that I needed to mail one of the credit card bills (that it's due on Tuesday). Got everything ready, went outside and the mail was already here, and the post office closes at noon on Saturdays. Well.. I hope they don't mind getting this one late. And finally I can get all the junk mail I receive through my Ameritech email account, which was down for two days.

I saw Scary Movie tonight. If you like funny, pointless movies then I'd recommend it. If you're looking for a movie with a decent plot, don't go. The best part was when they made the Matrix-like fight scene at the end.

I think I'm the only one that could care less about the new Harry Potter book. As a matter of fact, I never heard of that name until a couple of weeks ago. All the books I've read were in Spanish, except the ones I had to read for my English class in high school (Of Mice and Men, Wuthering Heights, The Old Man and the Sea). Well, I guess I won't be standing in line to get a hold of the book.

Damn you Ameritech!!! Can't you afford to keep your useless DNS servers working for more than one day?? I hate when I can't get to more than half of the pages I visit. die die die!

Jena convinced me so I added a Wallpapers section. RIght now there's only one, but hopefully, as I get better at this I will post more.

I made another wallpaper because all the ones I have won't fit in my new resolution. Like it? I may post it for download if I get enough requests. Click on the thumbnail for the full screenshot at 1152x864(140k)

I'm such a font whore. I'm downloading more fonts from Typearound! I wonder how many I can install in Windows 2000...

25 hotdogs in 12 minutes?? omg!! And is not some big, fat guy who did it.. the guy weighs only 100 lbs.

I hate Tuesdays. Nothing good is on tv, my fiancé is playing Diablo 2 so I decided to include the email form in the blog template. Now you have no excuse people, keep those emails coming!

Everyone is getting all these cute Nokia phones and I'm stuck with my convenient Samsung SCH-411. And I mean stuck because is not mine yet, I still have payments on it due. What do you think about this phone? It has a built-in mp3 player and 32MB of data storage that lets you store files and swap them with a PC. Cool!

Happy 4th of July! (and I'm really happy since I don't have to work today)

All I seem to get lately via email are jokes. No one wants to talk???

My fiancé bought a copy of Diablo II today, and it has been installing for one hour now (on a AMD K6-2 500 with Win2K+196MB RAM). He is installing the whole thing on disc and it takes 1.2GB, that way he doesn't have to change cds everytime a new movie comes up.

It's sad that two people died of heart-attacks at Comerica Park because the emergency teams weren't prepared.

I was supposed to take a 30 minute nap but ended up sleeping for 2 and a half hours. I hate that!! Now I will probably stay awake until 1am

I added six pictures to the Visual section. Go there if you want to have a laugh.

I'm watching The Wedding Singer on Encore and I just can't get enough of that movie. All those 80's references just drive me crazy!

Alright, while Eitel was cleaning the apartment, I was being lazy and made up this wallpaper with a picture of my cat Fluffy. Is not that great but I sure did kill 30 minutes doing it. Here is a thumbnail, you can see it bigger if you click on it. (60K)

Oops! I forgot to add the links in new window script to the code. Now it should work.
