New look.

So I've been messing with a new look again. New colors and a slightly new format. I like it better than the oddly-pinkish colors that I had before...

On the front page I do the date differently. I did not implement this on the other pages yet because I was having some formatting problems on some browsers (i.e. IE) and if I still have problems, I don't want a bunch of broken pages.

I'm looking for some tiles for the background with a more digital/geeky look. Any suggestions?

Potpourri - Sunday Brunch

1. Which television series do you think had the best final episode? Hmm... Have I ever been happy with a final episode...? Maybe Roswell, it tied up a lot of loose ends and left some options for the future (books).
2. Do you own something that you really should throw away but can't part with? Thousands of things: old computers, comics and other collectables from years ago, and ...
3. Would you be willing to spend a night alone in a house that is supposedly haunted? Sure. Especially if there were a prize or even better if it were truly haunted.
4. Go back to your childhood ... What did you want to be when you grew up? Mailman, Magician, Policeman. Astronaut (the only reason I didn't follow this was that I thought I could do it as a passenger). The best was a Magician first and then a Policeman so I could use the magic to catch the criminals. As an older child I considered Chef and Photographer before finally orbiting around computers and training and video "stuff".
5. What do you need to make your favorite pizza?

New Condo...?

So I'm looking at a new condo, I put a small deposit down to hold the one I want, I have to cough up more on saturday if I want to keep it. I was just in looking at it today (again) and I asked about the windows because my unit is mirrored and flipped around onto the other end and the windows that would be on the end have a building against it. She'll check the blueprints, but I'm afraid they are just going to say that wall will be bare (which means I will not purchase it). I took a few photos, but none outside (oops), I'll get one to post next time. Here's a drawing from the web site (my place is only one-fourth of this)...

UPDATE: Wasn't set up like I imagined so I canceled... Sigh...

100 Things

Here's my 100 things about me page. (If you're looking for my 101 in 1001 days list go here.) To follow the theme that I've found on many other sites, partially to see what I come up with and to let others see what I come up with. I've broken this down a bit: I like, I dislike, I am, I've live in, I wish I understood more about, places I've been and before I die...

It's interesting how many of these things I've blogged about so far...

UPDATE: December 2004/June 2005. I just came here to update this. I can't believe how much it has not changed. The only other things are I've been liking my iPod (and listening to podcasting), the Scene It? DVD games and maybe some additional music groups (Katy Rose and maybe a few others) and I won't add them until they've been around a bit longer. Probably "Two and a Half Men" (I laugh SO hard) and Liz Phair (added).
