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???

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.
