I hate the local UPN affiliate here in Detroit. Why do they have to show the NHL, NBA and MLB games when the good shows are on?

I wonder why the Lettuce Ladies are better looking than the Broccoli Boys. And where are those Broccoli speedos? ;-)

According to this page, the native indians of Jamaica used to call the island Xaymara, the country of the forest and the lakes. I always thought that the indians used to call the rivers that way. Isn't that pretty?
(btw, the translation from German to English on that page is not that bad, I got the link from the View menu on Netscape 6)

Men can halve the risk of a major heart attack or stroke by having sex three or four times a week, a specialist in cardiovascular disease said on Tuesday.
So which one do you think some men will chose, going to the gym or having sex? That's a no brainer.

I probably mentioned this before, but I want the Samsung Uproar. Too bad that it only works on the Sprint PCS network, because I have Verizon. Right now the digital phone I have is the Samsung SCH-411. The nifty thing is that it accepts voice dialing commands.

The other day I made another wallpaper, she is Sydney from Danger Girl.

I'm going to start a fundraiser. What for? So I can get one of these cool panoramic monitors. You can send the money to my PayPal account! ;-)

What did I learned after the election? This.
My favorite one: "You can have a national crisis in America without talking about sex!"

The best thing about the Holidays is that you get invited to all these Christmas dinners/parties and you don't have to pay to eat! :-) Of all the ones I can attend, I can only go to one though, because my vacation gets on the way.

I can't sleep. This is why I should go to bed early on Saturday, so I would follow on Sunday. But nooooo, Xaymara can't do that. I will regret it tomorrow morning (oops, today) at work.

When will Kozmo come to town? Or do I have to move to SF or Seattle so I can start ordering from them?

Looks like Bush is going to win. May the Force be with us because we are going to need it. And am I the only one who thinks the Florida Secretary of State needs a makeover?
addendum: Actually, she looked good today, but I saw this one picture in which she looked like a clown! I'm serious!

Arrested again... When is Robert Downey Jr. going to learn?

Can you say busted?

It's Sunday already, which means I have to work tomorrow. Dammit, I don't want to. I want my vacation!

I can't believe it took me this long to watch South Park the movie. It's hilarious!

I am so addicted to the Nestle Wonderball. But the ones with the SweetTarts inside, not the Spree ones. I hate Spree. I'm so addicted that by just shaking the box I can tell if they have SweetTarts or Spree candy. Wanna buy me some for Christmas? *hint hint*

If I see any more turkey I'm going to throw up!

Note to self: never ever go out the day after Thanksgiving. You might get killed or else, some idiot might try to hit your car. Some asshole almost hit me when trying to go in between my car and this other car that was trying to merge into my lane. Then he proceeded to flip off the other driver. After that, I got some nice jeans from Old Navy and some misc. stuff at Kmart. That's all I can buy right now, I want to save some money for my trip in December.

I didn't make any turkey, we ate someone else's but we brought home soooo much of it that it's insane. I'm stuffed! Between the turkey, the cheese "flan" and the Midori cake, I probably gained 10 pounds.

Eitel is baking a Midori cake for the Thanksgiving dinner we are going to tonight. So far it looks so yummi. This will be the first time in 6 years that I will be going out on a Thanksgiving dinner. Last time was when I was a Senior in High School back in PR.

Referral of the day: escort+"ann arbor". Sorry, the only escort you will find here is my 1999 Ford Escort.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! And here are some Thanksgiving resources for those who wan to learn more.

Free stuff alert! Why pay for a magazine subscription when Barnes and Noble will do it for you. Just don't give them your real email address, create some hotmail/yahoo one and use that one. I bet you that you will receive lots of spam.

Four more hours for the long weekend to begin. I love (paid) holidays.

A little Windows haiku (via email):

Aborted effort:
Close all that you have worked on.
You ask far too much.

Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.

Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.

A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.

One of the reasons I moved out of my old apartment was that the place had this contract with this shitty cable company. We couldn't watch any ppv, get cable modem, even the tv guide didn't work all the time. So now we have MediaOne, which is better than that piece of crap. But now our complex signed an "exclusive agreement" with this company that I've never heard before (Starcom Broadband, Inc., I can't find them on the internet). They are supposed to offer digital cable and high internet access (which I have right now) but I wonder how smooth the transition is going to be. I can't live without my cable modem!

What's the point of having a carport if your car is going to get covered with snow anyways? Did I mention that I hate winter? brrr

Ahhhh.. isn't nice to post with no problems and slowdowns? Blogger is back in business.

It's snowing alright. Finally some accumulation (around one inch) but it's so cold. The windchill is in the negative numbers. brrrr In less than a month I will be complaining on how hot it's down in PR.

WDIV Channel 4 is having their own Survivor Challenge here in Michigan. I think they have to stay in Lake Michigan for 10 days. The prize: getting their house mortgage paid for a year.

Jish should get a radar. I love mine :D

Happy Birthday Becky! ( ¡Felicidades! )

"Lucy Liu received a brand new Porsche from the studio as a 'thank you' for her part in the (Charlie's Angels) film's phenomenal success".
This is another sign that I'm in the wrong business.

I received my first free deal, thanks to slimgirl. It's one of those headsets to use in the pc. Not bad at all.

And here comes SongSpy, just like Napster but with skins and plug-ins (which will be available *soon*).

Greymatter is like Blogger but it runs from your server. It has archives, comments system and you can use your own template. Looks neat.

It kinda snowed yesterday. And I say kinda because there was no accumulation (on the ground, but on the cars it's a different story) and it was actually more like wet snow that anything. But because of the moisture, there was black ice all over I-94. If that happens tomorrow, I know it's going to take hours to get to work.

I'm trying to decide which font to use. Is Arial @ 11px too small?

I spent too much time downloading fonts from flaimo.com. Back to the football game.

Geez, you can really screw things up when you forget to close the quotation marks on a title tag. *slaps myself* And I noticed that the Blog This! feature posts much faster than going through the Blogger page.

test

I can't wait to get X-Men on dvd.

With all this election mumble jumble, I knew this one was coming sooner or later. You can now re-vote in the Florida Presidential election. You don't even have to live in Florida! LOL

I only worked out one day so far this week, being sick sucks ass. I hope to do some tae-bo tomorrow.
Other than that, tomorrow is the big Michigan vs. Ohio State game. Go Michigan!

I'm going to be lonely at work. It's a holiday at Ford but since I'm just collocated there, I don't get it off. :-(

Oh please, get a grip: some are saying that Hooters "It's soft-core porn". People still have that type of mentality in the year 2000. I am SO glad that I moved out of that place.

Well.. Thank you Betcha! :-)

I just noticed that Netscape 6 uses about 25 megs of memory while running. Holy cow! They should include free memory with every download of NS6 ;-)

Blogger it's acting too slow today.

It's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too cold out there, I will stay sick if it keeps up.

Well, I gave up and downloaded Netscape 6. After many download attempts (and I have cable modem), I finally found their full download on their ftp site. My impressions so far:

- A little slow when switching windows and selecting items. No crashes so far though
- It now recognizes the title tag on the links.. yay!
- My page looks good on NS6. The only thing I didn't like was that the checkbox doesn't show up if your background is white. No border around it whatsoever (maybe because I have it set to border-style=none?)
- Can't post from Blogger since the posting area is completely taken over by one of the frames, and I couldn't download the bookmarklet thing from the settings. I copied it from IE.
- Renders pretty much the CSS correctly.

But kids, remember that you may need to update your dhtml and cgi scripts. More information can be found here

I love to read the "Where are they now: Teen Idols" type of articles. Yes, I know it sounds pathetic.

Sooner or later it was going to happen, stamps prices will go up a penny on 2001. Still, I don't think 34¢ is too much for a stamp.

If you have any questions about wtf happened on Florida, read this article. Is one of the best pieces I've seen so far. I specially like #4.

I'm feeling weird today. I have something in between a cold and the flu and I don't like it a bit. I've been laying on the couch watching Mission to Mars on dvd. As always I didn't want to watch the movie but ended up liking it. I've come to the conclusion that no matter if the movie is good or if it sucks, I will always like it as long as it has to do something with space exploration, medieval times or dark religious stuff.

Look... cute baby on sight.

Feeling much better, but watching how pathetic is Penn State playing against Michigan two miles from here. The first half is not even done and PSU missed three out of four field goals.

I hate getting sick.

Hummm.. if I had time I would post mine but gotta run. But I have my college in the meantime. :P

I was going to bitch about the recount in Florida but instead I'll link to derek's post. He took the words out of my mouth.

Too close still?? omg.. this is insane. People at work are going to be hitting reload to their browsers all day long.

This is too close!! I can't sleep dammit! How can they lose some of the ballots in Florida in a night like this? I'm afraid that Bush is going to win, then we are doomed!!!! As a result I will be moving with Shannon to Canada.

It looks like Gore is going to win Michigan. But darn this is too close to call... Did you know that people on Oregon mail in their ballots?

Well, FINALLY the the day is here. So get out and vote, if you don't then don't complain on how the administration handles things. I have to work tomorrow (lousy !@#$%^) but the people at Ford don't, so it should be an easy day.

Warner Bros. online reports Britney, 18, who did a startling striptease act for the MTV Music Video Awards in September, had her nipples pierced in April while shooting a video in Hawaii.
All I have to say is.. ouch!

Today I watched tv pretty much all day long. I watched American Beauty, End of Days, the Growing Pains reunion, The Simpsons, Sex and the City and some part of Star Trek Voyager. I really liked End of Days, I wasn't expecting that ending.

Monopoly dot com Edition.. too cool, I want one.

I guess yesterday was a bad day for football. Michigan, Michigan State and Penn State lost. And I didn't watch any of the games.

hmmmm, carne asada.. I'm going to make my mom cook carne asada when I go visit PR in December. Gosh I'm drooling just thinking of it (that and pernil, lechon, alcapurrias, bacalaitos.. you Americans are missing something good on your diet :P )

Since all my bills are paid and I didn't have to buy new tires, I went shopping. I got 2 skirts, 3 turtlenecks, one pair of pants and a pair of boots for ~ $90.00 Not bad at all!

The US Post Office should have a mailbox right outside my apartments (with all the bills I mail every month.. uff) but noooo, I have to go all the way to K-Mart to mail them. Sucks!

I thought people learned from their mistakes (well, most of them). But it seems that Bush didn't want anyone to know that he made one. oops!

Britney Spears will host the American Music Awards live from Los Angeles's Shrine Auditorium on January 8
I bet some guys are wondering what she will (not) be wearing.

Jish, eggs and ketchup sounds as bad as apple pie and ketchup. Yeap, I have a friend that eats that everytime she goes to BK

Just what I need, another application running on my taskbar. But this one is cool: it tells you the temperature for your city on real time plus forecast information, warnings and stuff. (link stolen from matt)

I made another wallpaper: Hello Kitty.

Now I have tons of Hershey's Kisses left over since all the kids decided to go trick or treating before I got back from work. Must-resist-temptation!

Why don't we play the game "Lets guess how long it will take Xaymara to get to work today?" I hear on the radio that there is a 4 mile backup on I-94. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Ya quisiera yo dibujar como Beto. Nice redesign btw!

Want to create more colors just by dithering two or three browser safe colors? Go to Colormix and try using their free mixer.

Remember kids to set your clocks back one hour, or you will be late for school/work/church!

I'm switching servers, so islabonita.net will be pointing to two different ip addresses. I'm moving from Xeran to Below 10 host. Ever since I got my cable modem, ftp'ing to Xeran was very slooooooooooooooooooooooow. Plus I'll save ten bucks this way. Any broken links will be fixed soon (I hope).

Happy Birthday Candi! Now you can rent a car without paying extra for being under 25.

Winamp 2.666 is out. That is some freaky version number.

I bet that whoever bid for this PS2 is having a laugh right now.

My man and Jen have new layouts. oooh redesign is on the air.

Who does AOL's research... dogs? I didn't know that people got confused by having a Home icon on the bar.

Want to get the PS2 badly? Go to ebay. One of them sold for $1525! Jesus Christ! I guess some people don't want to wait until Spring to get theirs. Being poor sucks!

Did anyone get the PS2? Here in the news, they were at Meijer and they only had 20 of them, all taken since people were in line since 10am!! They don't expect another shipment until mid-December. Holy macaroni!!!!! My boyfriend's brother reserved his months ago (back in May and think) and EB called him to tell him that if he didn't pay in full right there over the phone (this was a month ago), he would have to wait until December to get his. THAT IS INSANE!!!! I think Sony did this in purpose.

Latest jingle stuck in my head: My Chalupa from those Taco Bell ads.

Just what I need, two accidents on I-94 east. Is going to take me forever to get to work! I love this page.

"We want our teachers to be trained so they can meet the obligations, their obligations as teachers. We want them to know how to teach the science of reading. In order to make sure there's not this kind of federal cufflink." - George W. Bush, Fritsche Middle School, Milwaukee, March 30, 2000

"Will the highways on the Internet become more few?" - George W. Bush, Concord, N.H., Jan. 29, 2000

Get all your favorite Bushisms here. The more I read these quotes, the more I know that I'm not voting for this guy. I think I'm voting for Nader even though he will lose, but at least I won't waste my vote on Bush.

For most of my searches, I would just type go 'keyword' on the IE address bar and a search window would open on the left side of my browser with all the results. That way I could keep looking at the results and see some of them to the right. But somehow now it just opens all on one window. wtf?? I liked it better the other way. When did they changed this?

Hey katie, at work they charge for coffee. OTOH, I get free bottled water.

Oh no!!!!!!! The Rock lost the WWF Championship to.. to.. Kurt Angle. ugh! I can't stand "Mr. Three I's". Now I will have to put up with his (and Stephanie's) cockiness (sp?) for weeks to come.

Thanks to a link that someone posted over Dan's blog, now I'm addicted to this game. I wonder if I can play this from work.. hmmmm.

Did some house cleaning: bye bye archives from 6 months ago.
