Yeah, yeah, only one (real) post since Christmas. Quit your whining.

Every year my family does this big Japanese New Year’s Breakfast thing. It’s quite tasty. And none of that lunar year crap either. But we do use the Chinese zodiac. Anyway, I just ate some of that ă?ă?©ă soup. It’s got long noodles, supposedly symbolising long life. I think. Either way, it means lots of good food for me tomorrow.
Ooh, I get to open up the first page of my Non Sequitur daily calendar. How fun. And I really do plan to post some pictures of the Bose SoundDock or whatever it’s called, and maybe some other stuff. I’ve just been relatively busy until today.
And I might think up a resolution (or a few) tomorrow. I generally don’t do that until January 1 anyway, so I’m not actually behind…
I’ve revamped that blog list thing. It’s now fully XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS vaild, if anyone happens to know what that means. It’s a good thing. Also, in case you didn’t notice, it’s on my domain now. So update your links.
Woot it’s snowing! I hope we have some on the ground tomorrow.

I hope everyone (what celebrates it) had a good Christmas. I got a lot of cool stuff. Like a domain name (nothing much there now), a watch, the way-expensive Bose iPod speaker set thingy, Civ 3 Conquests, and many other cool things. I’ll post more stuff tomorrow. It’s a bit late.
I put up a new favicon… Unfortunately, its ugly as sin. 16×16 pixels is not a very large workspace.
I’ve been working a little more on a new theme. I wanted to have it up by Christmas, but I’m still wading through the vast mess of CSS that I’ve tacked on to the Rounders theme. All that’s really left is the header background image and the profile containers. And the comment sections on individual pages. It should be done by the new year. Provided I don’t forget abut it. Or get lazy.
I also seem to have a cold again.ăă?ăă?©ă??ă?ă?ăă? ă?Șăăă
Fortunately, Christmas is soon. And that mean presents. And there’s nothing a good capitalist kid loves more than expensive presents.
Christmas tree - Now with lights! And presents. And the camera’s flash on.
My apologies for not posting. This last week before break has been pretty hectic, despite getting an extension on my history paper. Now that its break, I should have more time to write here. Or maybe I’ll be more lazy and stop posting. Who knows.

Gundam SEED Destiny had better find itself a moral plot twist soon, cause right now good an evil are pretty clear-cut. My favorite part about the original SEED is that neither side is morally right. But the only theme I’ve seen so far in Destiny is that Americans are racist dumbasses that like to nuke things. Which I guess is true enough, but not nearly as interesting.

OMFG AN ARIANE-5 ROCKET ACTUALLY LAUNCHED WITHOUT CRASHING INTO SOME OCEAN! MAD PROPS TO THE ESA!
Reuters has the pretty pictures.
Still totally tired. I think I did bad on chem since I didn’t have those cations and anions very well memorized. Oh well. Music club recital Wednesday; I think I’m playing.

I’ve started watching Kono Minikuku mo Utsukushii Sekai. I’ve found it to be relatively interesting, if a bit… perverted. But it is GAINAX, so I expect the show will turn ot interesting enough.
Although I guess GAINAX did Mahoromatic… I don’t think that was supposed to be all that interesting. Oh well. Just 12 episodes, so no big loss if it isn’t that good.
I enjoy non-descriptive titles for my blog entries.

I can’t believe I’m still tired… I lost like 7 pounds too, since I haven’t eaten anything since Thursday. Fortunately, I’m more or less caught up in schoolwork. I’ve got nothing actually written on my hsitory paper, but I think I’ve got a good idea what to say. Chem should be oka, but I need to find out which ions we were supposed to memorize… Otherwise that’s fine. Math I need to finish 2 assignments for. History testiz I think I’m set. Prolly won’t take it until at least Tuesday though.

Christmas tree is nicely decorated. Also, I noticed that it didn’t have a very good scale - the tree is actually pretty big. Now to find some gifts that my mom will get me… She’s decided no video games, since I should be spending my time studying… Or anything else that might actually use my time. So, it looks like clothes and SAT study guides all around this year! Yay!
This just in - sarcasm isn’t as effective in text form.
This Konfabulator program is pretty cool. It puts little XML/JavaScript apps called widgets on the desktop. [Official FAQ] I used it at one point on the iMac, but the always-there registration window (it’s shareware) got pretty annoying, so I stopped. It was a pretty nifty idea though. In fact, the next release of OSX, 10.4, will include its own (likely superior) widget program. As a result, the makers of the program ported it to Windows. Seeing as I don’t have Apple Developer access to Dashboard, I decided to start using it (and doing my best never to quit the program) on the PC. Its worked really nicely so far. [Screenie] I’ve also started learning some JavaScript for use in one of these things… Which I just put online for your enjoyment. All it does is change the transperency of the little “K” button. You can decrease transperency by clicking the “-” button or pressing [Ctrl+Shift+PgDown] and increase it by clicking the “+” button or pressing [Ctrl+Shift+PgUp]. You can also bring it to the front with [Ctrl+Shift+F4].

Ah, I just realized I missed candygrams by being sick. Darn.
On a brighter note, Marquis and I submitted our Cell Game class to the Agora Days Supreme Comission. Yay.
Argh I missed school again today. So damn tired. Looks like I won’t be in tomorrow either. Ugggh. I haven’t finished math or hsitory essay… Not thinking coherently at all.
I think I’ve missed 5 days of school this quarter now. Very bad.
