  • A bit o’ chat to start the day.

    So what do I do, instead of finding breakfast or showering or loading bunny pictures? I get into the Blogathon IRC chat and hang out.

    There’ll be plenty of time for that other stuff, right?

    Okay, okay. I’m firing up the other computer now so I can hook up the camera. Sorry. There’ll be bunny pics next time, and more will be taken during the day. It’s amazing how quickly half an hour can pass you by, isn’t it?

  • Starter Bunnies

    So last night, realizing I didn’t want to roust the kids at 6am to help take bunny pictures, I snapped a couple of pics while Erica was doing her “tending the bunnies” evening routine.


    Ah, how easy it is to crank out an entry. All I had to do was plan ahead, fire up another computer, offload the camera, resize the images, upload to my Gallery…

    Oh, heck. This is going to be work? What the hell was I thinking?…

  • Lightening things up.

    Okay, sorry about that last one. It was a case of Very Bad Timing. Here’s hoping the rest of the day is upbeat and enjoyable for everybody!

    Oh, and I’m going to see about making the page load faster by removing some of the extraneous stuff. You know, stuff that loads off of other servers, that sort of thing. Wish me luck, eh?

  • Site tweaking galore

    Okay. I’ve moved my Currently Hearing info up, removed the random image, BlogShares, Memes List, one of the Syndication buttons (the auto-add aggregator-friendly button, that is), the Dead Pool link and the iMood indicator. I’m keeping the blogroll, though, so I sure hope blogrolling.com doesn’t hiccup.

    I’m in the process of (sitka?) sprucing up the song listings in the Currently Hearing display. Doesn’t it look better already? Oh, wait… let me guess, none of you even knew it was there before, huh? It used to live right below the calendar. Dunno where it’s gonna go once the ‘thon is done, mind you.

    Yes, I am crazy for tinkering with the layout during the ‘thon. Your point? And don’t worry, all the stuff that’s missing now will return tomorrow. Probably late tomorrow, but you get the idea…

  • Another “occupy my time” idea.

    Oh yeah. Someone loaned me Serial Experiments Lain, and I’m only six episodes in. That’ll give me something to do for at least some of these little half-hour breaks, won’t it?

    What do you mean, you don’t think I’m ever going to get off my arse and do anything other than chat, websurf and check email? Well, I never!

    I’m not that bad. Really. (Right?)

  • La(y)in(g) around watching cartoons

    So I’ve put away the 7th episode of Lain, and I’m still not sure if I’m going to end up really liking or loathing the series. It keeps skating the edge of being really trite and annoying in its little routine of dancing around the plotline and being oh-so-mysterious.

    I’ll keep watching, though. Hopefully there’ll be foodstuffs arriving soon, so I can snack and watch anime to my heart’s content. Between housework, chatting and email, of course!
