Latest addiction: watching Iron Chef on the Food TV network. Even though I'm a picky eater, I like to watch how they prepare the dishes. I just can't believe it took me this long to get addicted to the show.
What a boring day! At least I got to relax watching tv and ST: Voyager (sorry Shannon lol). Tomorrow I'm going to get a new motherboard and a new chip, probably an AMD Athlon 750Mhz, so I'll spend all day backing up stuff and installing programs.

What a crappy day. First the news of Pyra and now this: Senate passes Ashcroft nomination.
I was looking at the page from my Unix station at work, and it looks like crap on Netscape 4.73 for Solaris. I really hope not that many people visit this page on Unix, because they will think that I suck in HTML. It looks fine in Windows 98, 2000 and in the MAC but not in Unix. I tried to fix it but couldn't get it to work. Unless there is a trick out there that I haven't heard off, no more messing around with the code for me.
Tracy from playfortoday.com has the cutest drawing of a cat on her blog. Makes me want to start drawing with my tablet (even though I suck at it).

I can't believe I had to tweak the layout around so it can look decent in Netscape 4.7 and Netscape 6. For some reason NS4.7 won't pick up the css on the right table over there so... This layout looks best in Netscape 6, IE 5.5 and with resolutions of 800x600 and above.

Candi, can you see the page in Netscape now? If not I will kill that counter! LOL
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the gift baskets (worth over $3,500) given to the participants of the American Music Awards included a digital camera/camcorder/PC camera, two-way Skytel pagers, a Casio wristwatch camera, Reebok sneakers, electronic stuffed animals, sunglasses, gourmet chocolates, hand-held video games, Polaroid cameras, clothing, accessories, aromatherapy products, backpacks, Fossil watches and a voice-activated TV remote. And if you thing that's not enough, for the Oscars, people got over $16,000 worth of goodies.

Did they really needed all that cool stuff? That's why I'm poor and they are rich. bleh
There can't be anything scarier than being a contestant on a pageant where William Shatner is going to be the MC.

LOL! I can't believe someone thought this $200 bill with Bush on it was real. C'mon people, wake up and smell the roses! LOL
Becky, I also have both astigmatism and myopia and I just love the contact lenses the doc recommended. They are the Acuvue 2 from Johnson and Johnson. I wear them every day for two weeks then I toss them out and open a new, fresh pair to wear (and if you buy them online they are cheaper, at least for me).
Repost: In case someone is still interested in the comments script.

I put together some instructions on how you can use the comments script I use here on your site with Blogger. You can see it right over here. You need PHP in order to get it to work. Any questions just let me know.

Tara also put up some instructions over here. She changed a couple of things so it can work also in the archives. (mine don't have them because I use includes for the archives therefore I don't need the changes).

I really want to get one of the new iGrills (aka George Foreman Champ Grill with Translucent BunWarmer). They look so cute than I might start cooking just to get to use it! (yeah, like that will ever happen, right Eitel?)
According to this article, I'm an ambitious driver who wants to project an image of success, all because my favorite car color is black. I dunno about that, since my car is a Ford Escort, all I feel is that I didn't had enough money to buy the VW Jetta I always wanted.
Talking labels on the Heinz ketchup bottles are back by demand. I don't even remember seeing them the first time they came out.

In the "you probably don't care" update on Survivor: first show and they already booted Debb off the tribe. I think she is the one that's engaged to her stepson.
Here comes SuperBowl XXXV, and what's this, MTV meets football? Who are they trying to reach out? Don't think all those beer guzzling-chip eating macho men want to see N'Sync and Britney Spears sing (well, maybe they won't mind Britney doing a strip show like she did on the MTV awards).
Hum... I'm #12 on this search: drink piss eat shit. All I want to know is.. why, why me? And what kind of person searches for that phrase.
I wonder how many extra hits is Snatch.com getting now that the movie Snatch is out. At least I gave them one, I just had to look at the splash page *giggles*
