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.

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

lunes, septiembre 11, 2000

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:
We got her from the animal shelter and she is almost 17 months old

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.

domingo, septiembre 03, 2000

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)

viernes, septiembre 01, 2000

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.

jueves, agosto 31, 2000

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

martes, agosto 29, 2000

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

lunes, agosto 28, 2000

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

sábado, agosto 26, 2000

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.

jueves, agosto 24, 2000

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.

miércoles, agosto 23, 2000

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.

lunes, agosto 21, 2000

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 :)

domingo, agosto 20, 2000

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 18th
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

miércoles, agosto 16, 2000

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

martes, agosto 15, 2000

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".

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

domingo, agosto 13, 2000

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!

sábado, agosto 12, 2000

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

viernes, agosto 11, 2000

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/

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!

jueves, agosto 03, 2000

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.

"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.

jueves, julio 27, 2000

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?

miércoles, julio 26, 2000

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