(I stole this idea completely from Brigita.) I dreamt I was home in the U.S. and just about to return to London. My sister was coming with me too, for a visit or something. We were getting a ride to the airport (on a Greyhound or something?) when I suddenly remembered that I hadn’t packed. So I ran back into the house and finished throwing stuff into my bag. By the time I got outside again, my sister was gone. (This parallels an actual incident in life where she got on the school bus and let it leave without me.) So I jumped in the car and prepared to drive to Chicago when I looked at my watch and realized it was 6:15 and I’d never make it for my flight at 7:00. Mom suggested I go to South Bend instead and then catch a flight to Chicago. I agreed, but I didn’t want to park in the longterm lot. So reluctantly Mom agreed to drive me. As we were pulling out of the driveway, I was on my cellphone trying to get a flight that would get me there in time. As I was double-checking my tickets, I discovered that my Chicago flight didn’t leave til 8:00. Relieved… I woke up.
If possible, Mighty Big TV’s recaps of “My So-Called Life” are even better than the original shows.
The Harry Potter movie is looking good! I like the new production still of Harry holding Hedgwig, but the teaser poster is even better. I can’t wait for November 21…
I honestly don’t know how England can consider itself a civilized nation when it’s impossible to BUY ANYTHING past 6pm on a weeknight and 4pm on the weekend. In America, retail businesses realize that most people actually shop when they’re not at work, which means that they’re open at hours when people can potentially visit them. For example, today Snookums and I headed out to look for coffee cups, bookshelves, and new winter coats. We managed to make it into one shop before they all closed. What’s up with that?! We had money to burn! And we were denied by the arcane belief that every worker needs to be home and clustered around the telly by 6:30 every night. And don’t even get me started on New Year’s Day – this place was DEAD! I crave the convenience of America’s 24-hour consumer culture. I guess all that’s left is the Internet…
I’m in the process of making some significant updates over at Roald Dahl Fans.com, so stop by if you’ve got time. I’ve got some new wallpaper for you to download as well as some more short story plot descriptions. Enjoy!
Site launch
My new personal site, web-goddess.co.uk is up and running. (Yes, I know there’s a broken link for the portfolio, but I can’t fix it til I get to work Monday.) Is anyone else noticing a very, uh, PURPLE trend in my personal websites lately? *grin* And as long as you’re checking mine out, visit Brigita’s too. We’re bloggers. We crave constant approval. Love us.
It’s 2:30 in the morning and I’m officially making the call that the text size shall remain unchanged. The only place it looks too small is on my iMac, and if I hit the “larger” button it’s fine. So screw it. I just noticed, though, that I’m missing an HTML document (my portfolio). Drat. It’s on my machine at work. Okay, so the site won’t be officially done til Monday. But I’m through fiddling with it, which is cause for at least a small celebration. 🙂
Okay, the permanent links should now work. I’m still fiddling with the text size though. Almost done.
Hooray! Everything’s up and working! This weekend I’ll figure out the permanent blog linking scheme. And probably change the design four more times. And change the home page 10 more times. And curse Blogger 100 more times. *sigh* But at least it’s up now!
AHHHH! Blogger is driving me crazy today! There might not be any posts for a while because all the errors are pissing me off.
