Leap Day

It’s Leap Day, did anyone notice that this was leap year? I noticed yesterday when I installed the calendar. Leslie and Rod are over with their baby, but I’m a bit sick, and so I’m keeping my distance.

Anyway, yesterday we didn’t end up going to the movie, as I didn’t feel very good so we just stayed home and watched smallville. I’m also working on a project for a friend’s birthday soon.

So I got the main page of PrettyGeek.com set up with portal and board and everything, and I’m looking for admins and whatnot for it. I added my frames tutorial for it, and I still have my checkered tutorial, but then I’ll need to think of more things that would be good on it. I’d like to add a good download manager, which would actually let you upload files. Jerrod told me to take a nap hours ago but my head was too congested.

Plaid

Well, I haven’t been blogging because I’ve been setting up my blog on this new, seperate page. which is of course, this lovely plaid. I technically should be brushing my hair as Jerrod’s already on his way, but here I am trying to get in a quick blog instead. I spent a while picking out neat scripts and installing the currently, quote, and calendar. Hey wait, I just noticed that it’s leap year! good thing I installed that calendar.  I’m a little dissapointed though because I can’t seem to get the mood addon for Currently to work.

Except now I’m not sure what I’m going to do with the rest of the site. I guess I’ll get associates and have more tutorials and things. maybe I’ll post on roxydoll to see if anyone wants in on the project. I can give them their own subdomains for their blog too if they would like.

So anyway, today we’re going to see The Passion and probably play some more games and whatnot. speaking of which, I really should be going to get ready.

I can say “three”

Well, The game my boyfriend has been working on has been announced, so I can now say it openly. Jerrod has been working at Insomniac for the past couple weeks and is now working on the Ratchet & Clank 3 game. woohoo! That’s all I can say, though .

On monday, I had an interview at a day care center and I put in my application in at Biola for the web design job. I really want the web design job, and I prayed all the way home from dropping off the application.

Also today I had an orthodontist appointment, and babysat at church in the morning.

Another important thing happened today; Mel Gibson’s movie about the crucifixion, The Passion, is out. Some people I know or heard speak saw the rough cut back in like september, and they all said it was excellent. I’m really looking forward to seeing it. My mom doesn’t like “sad” movies and said it would be too sad. I cry when I read the Chronicles of Narnia, but I don’t mind. It’s a good kind of cry.

I’ve Got Gmail!

woohoo! after reading an article on Geek News Central I checked out the gmail swap website, particularly the Checking for invites page. This section jumped out at me;

Update: 20/05/04. If you’re a Blogger user, you may have the chance to join Gmail, or to distribute invitations. While this feature initially went away after the Blogger redesign, tonight, it’s back! If you are an “active” blogger user, login and then look on the right side above the Blogger Help box. If there’s a little square with the title “Want Gmail?”, you’re in luck! Register for a Gmail account, or else hold off and use the opportunity to swap with one of our supplicants.

I have a blogger account I use to test my blog templates with blogger coding, so I logged in and sure enough! I’ve only just logged in, and it looks super-cool. So, if you’re a blogger user, check for an invitation, and if you don’t want to use it, there are tons of geeky people ravenous for one! If you want to give your invite to someone, don’t click the link, right-click and select “save target as” to copy it to your clipboard. Paste it and send to your lucky friend.

I have Gmail. I am so happy…

Be Mine

I am just waiting for my sister to be ready to go to disneyland. I have to drop off some papers to my dad at work, and then meet my aunt and cousin at the park. She wants to buy pins and I have the good discount.

Saturday was really great. I made strawberry cupcakes, using egg whites instead of the whole egg to preserve the color and put white chocolate chips in them, and I put on chocolate frosting and pink sugar crystals on top. Jerrod came over and we went to the grocery store and got sandwich stuff, and to the strawberry stand(I love strawberries) and we went and had a picnic. We went to carbon canyon park and had a fun picnic with lots of neat things. But then some ants started to get on my cupcakes and we had to rescue them. then we sat in the sun and ate strawberries.

We went back to my house to put away the leftover food, and then we went shopping at old navy!  mostly because jerrod needed new pants, but that is okay. I got to pick them out and now he has some green pants too. and then I got to pick out something and I picked out a green lounging outfit with capri length pants and a matching zip up hoodie. it also doubles as beachwear and just a regular sweatshirt. neat!

We didn’t want to be subjected to eating ribs at my house, so we went out and had del taco and waited till they would be mostly done, I thought. Oh yes, and for my gift, Jerrod got me the Anne of Green Gables DVD!!!

So then we went home and Jerrod set up his PS2 and we played a game, so that my family would be impressed about the game that he is working on.

must go now!

Flowers

This morning I went to babysit for james at his house. His mom had to go to the DMV. She didn’t have too much trouble, but when she got back I tried to explain about Christopher Durang’s DMV Tyrant to her.

Jerrod told me yesterday that someone needed to be at my house and open the door when I told him I’d be babysitting in the morning. so I knew a surprise was coming to my house and I hoped it would be there when I got home so I wouldn’t have to wait until I got home. My clues were the colors; that it had pink, silver(the color, not the metal), and red.

When I got in the door there was a box on the kitchen table that said 1-800-Flowers.com woohoo! flowers! I opened up the box and there were adorable little pink and red and yellow roses wrapped in a heart print paper. There was a tie on the bouqet which made it a bit of a challenge to open, but I finally got them out and looked at them. Lovely! But I didn’t see what was silver. I thought maybe the box or the paper, but no. I didn’t suppose it mattered, so I text messaged him and then he called me. I told him I got it, but where was the silver?

Apparently I was supposed to get a big chocolate kiss too, and Jerrod was a bit upset about me not getting it. It is okay, though. The flowers are so nice.

Tomorrow we are going to go have a picnic and I’m lobbying for more gift hints.

tackle

this morning I was subbing at MOPS. I was in the young two year olds and it went okay for the most part. a couple of criers but mostly just at the beginning and end. then when the lunch bunch came, there were three little babies. we can’t really put them down in the two year old room because the floor’s not as clean, so I was holding Garret the whole time and he’s particularly squirmy. Good thing my hair was up, as the babies tend to grab it. I’m kind of tired but my mom has got a new job. hooray! and I’m going to apply for a new job. woohoo!

last night I did some adjustments to prettygeek.com

I added the shoutbox, playlist(with blog related songs) and two tutorials.

Zoo

we went to the zoo yesterday. I’m trying to decide what stuff I’m going to put on this site. I mean, I’ve got the board, and store and whatnot. I think I’m going to put up some of the tutorials I’ve previously written and have saved somewhere. links to stuff. I’m not sure what else.

we went to the zoo yesterday. we saw prarie dogs and little monkeys and these pretty kind of long necked gazelles and kangaroos and sea lions and meerkats and giraffes and an elephant and best of all, lions. there was a male and female lion lying there and the male lion was facing us. I had my narnia radio plays playing in my car again, and it had just finished the Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. I was imagining the scene where Aslan leaps on the White Witch. The scene where the children were seeing them together, the golden face, and the dead white face. the contrast. and then I was thinking of the 2nd Chapter of Acts Narnia song, I’ve Heard The Stars Sing Before. That’s such a neat song. I love the part where it goes “so lay down your life and recieve His and live!” it’s so cool. It feels like a battle cry.

Jerrod started at Insomniac today. he text messaged me and it seems like he likes it alot. And he’s getting to work on one of his favorite games’ sequels.
