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???

Did you know that RAM matters?

If you don't know how to propose to your girlfriend, do some research on the web, ask friends and family, anything but this.

I didn't know there was an observation tower at Gettysburg. Too late now to see it eh?

It looks like someone decided to steal my fiance's layout from islabonita.org. He's even stealing bandwidth by linking some of the images directly from islabonita.org's server. ha! Here's the guestbook in case you want to leave a note.

Snapshots: #1 #2 my fiance's

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.

To those canadian readers who stumble upon this site by pure coincidence... Happy Canada Day!

I've decided to be wild and went from 1024x768 to 1152x864. Can't you tell I have no life?

I like the Recently Uptaded addition to the Power Bloggers. The one in the Blogger page seems to be having some issues and won't work.

No more plain M&M's. Now you shall call them milk chocolate M&M's. I don't like it one bit!!!!!!

At least 8 dead at Pearl Jam concert near Copenhagen. This is so sad!

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.

must.....do...... tae-bo
I've been a lazy ass in the past couple of weeks.. I need to get back on track so I can look half as decent in summer clothes

Oh... I love her new design. That Blogger stamp is soooo cute.

Everytime I read the title of this blog I think of Fruitopia, the mixed drink.

I can see that people have been very busy posting tonight. That or they keep clicking on the Publish button.

I was probably the last one to find out that Star Wars: Episode II started shooting in Australia.

I am such an idiot. I put the Rolos on top of the hub and now they are all melted!!!!!!!! grrrrr lol

I like Pokémon, but it seems that someone is waaaaaaaaaay into them. I actually think is kinda cute.

woohoo.. I'm going nuts downloading fonts from here. After that I'm going to bed. ZzZzZzzz

And the free ride comes to an end on the web

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.

I was bored and so I played around with this picture. Guess which one is not a Pokémon. Click on it for a bigger size.

If Britney gets a museum I think the Backstreet Boys should get one too.

Today marks the day I started going out with Eitel two years ago. I met Eitel online in IRC while I was at PSU and when I moved to Michigan after accepting a job offer he followed me (ok now all at the same time.. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw). He got me Father of the Bride on DVD (I love that movie) and I got him some clothes. I love him very very much and don't know what I would do without him (what would I eat?? He's the one that cooks..j/k)

I meant to post this yesterday but forgot.. so here it is.. eeeeeeeeeeeeew

I think it works now.. lets see

testing 1 2 3
It looks like Blogger stopped publishing since early this morning. knock knock anybody home?

Another one for Cease and desist 101.. He got the letter from the lawyers at the Betty Ford Center. They think that he is taking advantage of their name to get more hits. He is making no money off the site, nor he is insulting the center. This is getting out of hand.. cybersquatting my @$$

Today is the "Take your dog to work" Day. Are management considered dogs?

All I want to say is: TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you know that the Internet killed the video star? - need Shockwave
(via pura vida)

I'm bored.. no Smackdown tonight because of the Tigers game

LOL

Shame on you Alaska Airlines - Father denied plane seat to see dying daughter

Want to see Limp Bizkit in concert? You can do it for free

AOL=dumb?

After all the email messages sent (at work) in the past two days telling people about the Life Stages virus, some idiots still opened them. Today I got 3 more for a total of 5. That's 5 more than the I Love you virus that I got.

I pay more on Ameritech's phone charges than on AT&T's long distance charges. A $3.28 cut is not going to make that much of a difference to me.

This may come in handy at work tomorrow:

Useful Expressions To Use At Work
I'm trying to imagine you with a personality.
Let me show you how the guards used to do it . . .
You look like shit. Is that the style now?
Aw, did I step on your poor little bitty ego?
And your cry-baby whiny-assed opinion would be . . . ?
Not the brightest crayon in the box now, are we?
Did the aliens forget to remove your anal probe?
Sarcasm is just one more service we offer.

I said it before, but I just love the kitty in this page :-)

Cool! I just added the remote edit thingie to my blog and it works like a charm.

Important information about a new virus, My virus: This virus works on the honor system. Please forward this message to everyone you know, then delete all the files on your hard disk. Thank you for your cooperation. :)

I wish I could get paid for staying home and sleeping all day.. but my parents are not rich so work here I come.. again ZzZzZz

I made a new Blogger button

Here, you can have a can of whoopass.

Finally I think I fixed what was wrong in some of the pages.. I forgot to add the width code to the right column in some of the pages, everything looks how it's supposed to in Netscape 4.73 and IE 5.01. Damn it's so much easier to make pages using frames.

British Telecom believes that it owns a 14-year old US patent on the WWW hyperlink technology and wants to see if it can start collecting money from American ISPs because of it. If this is true, I think it will be interesting to see how they will pursue the $$$

Happy Birthday Tracy!

One more thing to do in one of the sections and the whole domain will be layout-coordinated. Won't do it now though, WWF is on. The tables in some of the pages align funny in Netscape, that green vertical line sometimes shows up and sometimes it doesn't. But I don't feel like fixing it so deal with it! :P At least it's readable.

This is the virus that caused the mail servers at work to be shutdown. And I only got one on my mailbox.

She posted 23 times today! I can't even do that on weekends.

I must've clicked on Publish around twenty times in the last hour (fixing something on the layout) and only one shows up in the last updated list at Blogger? wtf... :P

They had to shutdown the Exchange mail servers at work because of that virus. Over 1,000 mailboxes were infected. I'm taking bets on how long they will stay down, last time it was close to a week.

New virus on the run. If you get an email with the subject jokes, funny, very funny; it says something like male and female life stages and has an attachment ending in txt.shs (shs extension will be hidden in Windows) do not open.. delete it!! It propagates through mIRC, Pirch, Outlook and network drives.

This is funny, the alt tags in the image map (navigation menu) render as Status bar text in Netscape 4.7 for SUN.. still it looks OK (I wish Unix could see the Trebuchet MS font, I just love that font)

Hum.. so it took ten years for Robert Wagner to sue Spelling?? Hum...

*yawns* I'm off to work.. ZzZz

Finally.. after many times of clicking on Publish to see which links I missed, the new layout is up. It looks better in 1024x768 in my 19" monitor and Internet Explorer, but you can see it fine in Netscape 4.7 and 800x600 (anything lower than this is just not acceptable.. get a new video card or monitor!)

I actually finished the whole layout.. all of it, all sections. It actually looks decent in Netscape (woohoo!) Now I have to upload it all.

So, I'm supposed to come up with a new layout today and can't think of anything!!!! Maybe I'll do it next weekend.

Oh.. Happy Fathers Day papi! I know you won't be reading this 'cos you don't have internet, but wanted to say it anyways. :-)

My rap name is Heavy Prank G. wtf?

I don't think y'all care what I did today.. so here it is anyways. Me and my fiancé went out to eat at Benihana. Then we drove to Borders and I bought myself the movie Ever After in DVD (we no longer get the 33% employee discount in dvd movies, just a 15% which happens to be more expensive than the sale price). While driving around in Ann Arbor I saw a Baskin Robbins and decided to stop and get some Mint Chocolate ice cream and finally, 6 hours later, I got home.

Another reason to hate AOL.

Oops... AOL gets hacked. bwaaahhaha

Everytime I go grocery shopping to Farmer Jack, they never ever have Rolo in the shelves. Not the single ones, not the ones in the bag. It seems to be a pretty popular chocolate around here.

I want to ride Son of Beast but I hear it's always closed.

WAIT! Don't eat that chicken, you might get cut.

I found some Garibaldi mp3s. Awww this brings back memories :-)

Now that I think about it, Angelina Jolie is not going wacko, she is wacko! Why would you marry someone like Billy Bob whatever-his-last-name-is?

I love the horizontal scrolling in fcuker.com

I managed to live two days without blogging. How did I do it? By not sitting in from of the pooter.. instead I sat in front of the tv. ;-)

I think Angelina Jolie is going wacko.

May the Force be with you

Well, I can now post from work using the bookmarklet thingie but I can't post/edit from the blogger edit screen. Somehow Netscape (Mozilla 4.7C-CCK-MCD cf47 [en] (X11; I; SunOS 5.6 sun4u)) gets confused with all the frames. Whatever..

I think I can now post blogs from this stupid Netscape version for Sun OS... hmmm

What's up with all these referrals coming from porn pages? I think thecounter has some kind of agreement with them.

Some people are sick. I can't believe they will attack various women in the middle of Central Park during the day. I hope they get caught soon and while at it somebody should castrate them.

Harvard has come up with a draft for The Ten Commandments of E-mail. More rules to remember? ugh

I know someone was asking for a spellchecker for their sites, and this might just do it.

Obviously I'm not the only one complaining about the gas prices these days. Is there a competition going around to see who can keep the price for the least amount of time? I go to work in the morning and it's $2.03/gal, go out for lunch and goes up to $2.09/gal HELLO!!! And yeah, I spent $20 to fill up my Escort. Someone on the radio said that she spends $100 every 3 days to fill up her Suburban (why would someone want to drive a Suburban to work baffles me but hey.. not my problem)

What's up with all these US agencies losing important secret information? The latest: Secret nuclear information missing from Los Alamos lab

This is so funny - bastardization of Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope

The US average national retail price for unleaded gasoline is $1.631 (a record high) but around here in Michigan you can get it for $1.99-$2.15 per gallon. auch! And I have to fill up tomorrow

Well.. the Department of Justice has been very busy with antitrust laws lately, now they are taking Visa and MasterCard to court. They argue that MC and VS tried to shutdown competition by prohibiting banks from issuing competitor's cards.

I finally got my butt out of bed and went to Cedar Point yesterday. Got there at 11am and decided to go straight to Millennium Force and there was a two and a half hour queue line, which I can handle. But more than half of the line was spent under the sun at 90ºF with no water/soda vending machines near sight. When we finally made it to where they were selling the water, 3 people had to be taken out of the line because they got dizzy and exhausted.

Besides that, it was worth the wait (not sure if it was worth getting sun burt like I haven't in years). It was a smooth ride even though you reach 92mph! Then we rode on Raptor, Blue Streak, Power Tower and played a couple of games. We decided to go one more time in MF but they weren't letting anyone in so we went to Mantis instead. But with all the heat and sun, I was dead tired by 6pm and decided to go home (two hour highway drive). Needless to say I've spent all day today sleeping and complaining that my shoulders hurt.

I didn't know there were so many blogs from California and Canada... Go to Bird on a Wire and add your blog to the blog map.

This is how all those Hollywood stars get rich. I'm in the wrong business.

So, I guess I'm more alike R2-D2 according to the Ultimate Star Wars Personality Test.
