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.

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)

Look another wallpaper
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???

Damn!! I went to the gym and forgot to watch Sex in the City. Now I have to wait for the weekly reruns to watch it. OTOH, Sixteen Candles is on TNT.
I added an email form. Now you can send me email directly from here. Gotta love cgi scripts.
Note to self: avoid Greyhound at all costs.
I'm a counter freak (so sue me). I added another counter to the page. Actually I'm conducting a scientific experiment to determine which counter has the least amount of porn sites referrals. Gotta love advertisement on the net.
