Well, I actually just read the RedEye which those of us in Chicago now it offers diluted news for the young “I’m-too-busy-to-read-a-real-newspaper”. Anyways, I read a few news items and realized, we’re going to be the cause of our own demise—translation: we’re all going to kill each other cuz we’re all just dumb asses! Dammit! It all makes me so angry!!

In other news, I :heart: Spanish Rock music. If I didn’t have that, I think I’d go insane O_o I’m thinking of making myself some cute t’s for the summer with sayings. I’m a creative person, I think I can come up with some oddball stuff. Definitely going to make one that says, “Rockera” in glitter. Yes, glitter! Don’t roll your eyes at me!!

Now, I have to go and make a backup of my Movable Type database and my website cuz I haven’t done it in a while and that’s exactly when the whole shit hits the fan and you loose all your work.

I know there’s a cron job & script file somewhere’s on my hosting site’s forum where it makes a backup by itself and emails u the tar file but I ain’t that sophisti-ma-cated to figure it all out. Maybe I’ll give it a whirl…

I am fine.

I had my interview yesterday with a great firm and they liked my work, I liked how they work, it was all good. I hope, I hope, I hope they call me back!

In other news, I have to brush up on my JavaScript because if I do end up staying here at my current place of work, I *will* have to become the CSS, JS, XHTML, Client-side guru over here. Such pressure!

The firm I intern for let me know that we’re going to completely redesign the firm’s website this spring. After my talk with the new Director, we talked about using XML to store info and dynamically update many webpages at once.

Sounds like an idea I can get onboard with. Now I’m off to learn me some XML.

So I finished flowing copy and images into a website for work—actually for a client that hired the company I work for. And let me tell you, the chick promised her bosses we’d have the site done by the end of the year and we’re over here running around with like a million infinitesimal changes.

It was a lot of lining things up right and switching images and making all the ® marks superscript. So anyways they actually put the site up live before even looking at it themselves. Then they hadda take the forms out cuz what my supervisor used for the form post method. Don’t ask me tho, cuz I don’t know any asp.

Is that how you spell spilt? Anyway, this morning I bought a nice French Vanilla coffee in a 20oz cup from 7/11 before I caught the bus. And while on the train—somewhere between Kedzie & Ashland—my coffee was knocked over by my schoolbag & sent down to the floor. Dammit!

I was only slightly embarrased but I was more upset cuz now I had no more coffee & no paper to read. I threw down my paper to soak up the spill and used my napkins to wipe off coffee from my shoes.

This isn’t the biggest problem I’ve faced today so far…
