Minor Updates November 29th, 2007
Posted by asadream in Updates.add a comment
I have nothing interesting to say. I’m in the process of moving my joined fanlistings here. I’ve also been going through pages and making sure that Comments and Pings were disabled. I don’t see the need for either on pages like “Copyright”.
Perhaps a few thoughts on the theme. The one thing that really bugs me is how links inside lists revert to default style. As I use a lot of lists, to link to subpages and in my external links pages, it is pretty annoying. I also wish I could make links blue instead of brown, but I’m not going to pay just so I can change a link color, as the rest of the free service is quite satisfying for me.
I like that the navigation is quite big without being overdone, and I like that I don’t have to annoy my visitors with links to every single page in the sidebar, as I have way too many for that.
I also think that level-3 headers (h3) should be a bit more spaced from the left side of the content area.
Overall, though, I quite like the theme. It has pretty colors (I find that the brown just goes well with the green and blue) and is not too plain without having a header of a million pixels in height.

I followed my promise and added a few poems, as well as an article (sort of).
- Couteau, Le (The Knife)
- Dance
- Interdit (Forbidden)
- Mon papa (My Daddy)
- Si jeune (So Young)
- Why I Love Castlevania
I have also added a page about my computer geekiness. A few links under resources and daily visits and other admired people have also been added in the past few days.
I should also be adding some Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin guides/FAQs eventually. I have two that are already started, just need to finish them.
Edit. I change the layout (again…). It has a few, er, imperfections with links, but I’ll fix that later.

If I were rich, I would buy:
- a new laptop computer for Eric
- a new computer for myself (or at least more space and more RAM, as well as headphones)
- a DVD player. You know, one where the Play, Fast Forward and Skip Chapter buttons work.
- a Jeep for my friend
- about a hundred movies on DVD
- several CDs
- lots of books
- pants
- underwear
- shirts
- gloves
- various kitchen appliances
- a large bookshelf for my bedroom
- a new chest for my clothes, of much higher quality
And surely more, but I currently don’t have a job. Anyone wants to employ me?

I’m trying this theme because I kind of like the colors, but it might disappear soon if I get too annoyed by the fixed width. I guess I could always get a new header image and play around with the CSS to make it larger.
I found The Red Notebook yesterday, after a furious search. The Red Notebook contains several poems I have written, mostly between 2004 and 2006. While some of them are plain crap, others are worthy of being posted here, so they will be added starting from now until whenever I’ll feel like completing it.
I should also be (re) adding some articles soon. I want to reword some and all that stuff, so it will take more time than just copy and paste, but in the end I believe it will just improve the quality of my site.
In other news, I found Nick. Now I can properly stalk him (because we all know that the best way to stalk an offline friend is to read his blog).
I’m not really going any better than last week. Worse than on Thursday, anyway, that’s for sure.
I had a couple of things to do before seeing my therapist tomorrow and, of course, neither is done. I had something to find because I must give it back to another therapist, and my search was fruitless. I didn’t search everywhere, but I did devote maybe half an hour to looking, so you can’t say I’m entirely hopeless. As for the other thing, it was calling for an appointment. I called on Friday after 4:30 p.m., and no therapist is at work after 5p.m. except the ones who work in emergency, psychiatrist hospitals and that kind of things, so I couldn’t get to speak to her. I know that I called before, but she was probably outside her office, not even there or whatever.
Anyway, there is still tomorrow morning left…and the whole night to search for the disc. Now that I bought a light bulb to put in the corridor downstairs, I can actually see at night, which is a plus.
Off to kill disgusting-looking people play Bioshock (warning: you’ll have to enter your birthday, which means you must be at least 18 or something). Does anyone fill that with their REAL age when they are NOT 18 yet?
Or actually not play because my roommate is again, once again, once more, for another time running tests on his computer.

I believe I will twist a meme. Rachael made this entry where she decided to tag every reader, like the proper gay bitch she is (:P), so I will twist the original topic. Instead of writing about myself, I will write about a few people I know. No numbers, no tagging of other people (although you are welcome to use my idea), no porn, etc. I will just name some people (with a noun to identify them like “brother” or a first name).
My Brother
Should you tell him about his navel, he will firmly maintain that he has none. He also will tell you that he doesn’t wash his feet. To make sure they don’t get “accidentally” washed while he is showering them, he wraps them in plastic bags.*
My Grandfather
My grandfather (my mom’s father) is a strong Roman Catholic. When his two youngest songs were young, he did not encourage them to play hockey because he considered it “wrong”. He loved to watch wrestling. He would also turn off the TV if a couple happened to kiss.
My Grandmother
My mother’s mom is a rather down-to-earth person. She’ll look at the practical side of things rather than question herself about Life, Death and Spirits.
* Of course he does wash his feet.
Blah blah blah. I started this entry yesterday or the day before, and now I’m actually in a good mood and don’t feel like continuing on the same line. I don’t know who else to talk about. I guess I just *had* to post something about my brother.
It snowed today. The snow will melt soon, but for now the soil is covered in snow, and that sucks. I hate snow, I hate winter.
Bleh. Life bores me. I’m not really interested in blogging anymore. I just play hidden objects games all day long, while listening to music. There are over 7000 songs in my iTunes playlist, and surely more to come once I get enough money to buy a new disc with over 100GB of space.
I’ll be adding some links just about now.
