Permalink And the minor futzing continues. I felt nostalgic this morning, so I replaced the boring “logo” with a blue Utena rose. Mmmm, Utena…smells like mindfuck.
I’d kind of like to splash a little SKU around the rest of the domain, but I’m not even sure if I still have any Utena images. If I do, they’re probably — oh, crap. I was going to say they’re probably on Kasumi, but its more likely they’re on the zip disks left over from Poofu. Fnaaarrrr.
Maybe I can bribe the bestest into coming up with something. She’s always been good with anime layouts. In the meantime, there are cookies, and I am going to have some. *skips off*
Permalink People who go to a single-language blog and post comments in a different language, are morons. And starting now, they will either be deleted, or, if I am in a bad mood, I’m going to mark you as a spammer. Because either your English is good enough for you to understand my ramblings, and thus good enough for you to fumble through whatever it is you want to say to me, or you’re just trolling and trying to get links out. I’m getting enough spam comments in my own language, I’m not dealing with anyone else’s.
Anyway.
There was a stinkbug at the foot of the basement stairs this evening. Or, I thought it was, they haven’t really been in the house since it got warmer outside, and this being the cold, dark section of the house, they seemed pretty happy to avoid it, so…I don’t even know. And it seemed dead, or at least comatose, and I thought about leaving it, because I have heard tell of The Smell for which they are named. But I know myself and the only thing worse than spotting a bug that close to my bedroom is coming back and finding it has left. Seriously, I cannot deal with thinking it might be here and I just don’t know where. So. Put a tissue over it, and pummeled it with a shoe. Got some oh-so-pleasant liquid on the tissue, but that could just be regular bug-juice, I dunno, I don’t usually add a tissue to the bug-bashing mix. I’m just not sure it was a stinkbug anymore, being as I don’t detect any odor, and one would think, from the wet on the tissue, that if it was going to smell it would. I admit, I am pretty stuffed up, and my head kind of hurts, and my tongue does have a slight metallic taste on it…but it is spring, and I am Headache Girl (worst superpower ever), and I could just totally be psyching myself into “detecting” something. Or maybe its the dehumidifier. Or maybe I just need to drink more water. I don’t know. And given that its all smished, and I’m having problems recalling their exact appearance because my memory is fucking swiss cheese, I’m kind of stuck not-knowing.
…..that was the point of my post. That psuedo-story. That is so fucking sad, you guys.
Permalink Woke up with a headache. Its been about two hours and I am seriously considering going back to bed.
I am very frustrated with waiting on a couple small items I bought on eBay to arrive. I’m trying to be patient, since they’re coming from out of country, but they are overdue and dammit, I want my stuff!
I also want to not have to start a big back-and-forth just to get it. I haven’t been feeling real great, and my brain feels kind of muddy. Part of that is probably the headache.
I really think I might just go back to bed.
Permalink Huh. So, apparently one difference between categories and tags is that you can’t add new categories unless you’re logged in as the admin. That’s…interesting.
Of course, I usually am logged in as the admin, so…. I don’t know. I only got four hours sleep, I’m just grateful I’m still speaking English.
Permalink And slowly but surely, its feeling more like home around here. Now if I could just figure out where the hell the option was that let you decide whether post titles would be bigger than other titles. I had it, and at the time I ignored it, because I was trying to do something else, and now I can not find that setting for the life of me.
$10 says I have looked right at it multiple times, and just not registered it.
I can’t quite figure out what the difference is supposed to be between post categories and post tags. I mean…isn’t it kind of redundant? Why have both?
And in other news — I really want pizza.
Permalink OH MY GOD. WHEN I SAID I WANTED FIREFLY DOLLS, I DID NOT MEAN FROM TONNER. WHY DON’T YOU JUST RAPE MY WALLET WITH A CHAINSAW.
Oh, god. Oh, god. A little Mal. I can actually have a little Mal. Oh, god, I’ll have to get several so that I can have Mal, and Caleb, and Castle, and one to just sit around and be all Nathan Fillion-y in my vagina.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT MY KARMA IS SIMULTANEOUSLY SO GOOD AND SO BAD. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH.
Permalink Trying out WordPress, because Blogger will no longer support FTP after May 1. (Or so they say, but its already a bitch and a half to get anything to post, so…color me slightly skeptical. Also, bitter.) They are offering a conversion, but the gist of it is either you go back to Blogspot (AAAAAHAHAHA, NO) or you enter into a set-up where they still host it, but the address is somehow at your domain. I have not seen how this works explained to my satisfaction, and frankly, I do not want to change my blog URL at all, no, not even just from domain/blog to blog.domain. This is my place, and it will be subject to my petty little whims, and mine alone.
And, y’know, Dreamhost to a minor extent, but as long as they are paid and I’m not doing crazy illegal shit, they don’t really care. I <3 Dreamhost.
And so far, I am okay with WordPress. The true deciding factor may come down to just how much customization I can figure out. It has been a long time since I taught myself HTML, kiddies, and quite frankly, I’m a lot stupider now.
I’m also cold, and kind of hungry, so for now, dQ is just going to look like this. But fear not! I have ideas. Or…actually, maybe you should fear that.
Permalink Am I still asleep, or did some dipshit at Yahoo! just use a picture of Ewan McGregor for a Roman Polanski headline?
Permalink I’m all head-achey and the world is covered in super-reflective snow, so of course we’re planning to go out today. *twitch* Its not completely a stupid move, though. We got, like 20-inches this past weekend, and they’re making noise about another ten over tonight and tomorrow. To which I say, “FUCK YOU, NATURE!” And also, “I need to get out briefly before I hurt somebody.”
So. Yes.
I actually have some small amount of monies, and I am being good and attempting to save it for the still-hypothetical release of Tonner Jane. The next movie is due at the end of June, I think, and the TwiVillains from the first movie showed up right around the time the second came out, so hopefully there will be at least prototype pics in time for the third. Or just a date. An approximate date would be fine. It would actually be really good, because while the longer it takes means more time to gather the funds with which to purchase her, it also means that much more time for me to get discouraged or distracted and blow the whole wad on something else. In an effort to help myself avoid doing that, I am permitting myself to use some of it on items/materials that will aid in the Jane-to-Cassie transformation, so long as they’re cheap, or, if he suddenly pops up at an attainable price, I have decided that I am allowed to blow it on my Sideshow Angel.
Let’s not anyone hold their breath on that one, though, mmkay?
Of course, part of me thinks I should use it for getting Sue a new body, instead. I’ve never been happy with the body they gave her. It fits with the books, since I believe she’s about 12 there, but the dolls are modeled after the Narnia movies, and Anna Popplewell was more like 16, and possessed of a lovely, womanly figure. The barely-boobed, tomboy figure of the “Hermione” body doesn’t really work.
So…it is possible, if I spy one at a really good price, that I will give in and get Sue a more fitting body. But I’m trying not to. Trying to be good, here, and use my infrequent spending money smartly.
…..probably best not to hold our breath on that, either. Just to be safe.
