This is what I come back to

I come back from a twelve-day vacation. I check my email, and answer them. I download the latest episode of Mugglecast, but didn't listen to it just yet. I browse through a few AF fansites, catching up on the news. I fume about still not having TLC. I get the url of a book1 excerpt for my cousin. I check ATS and browse through the new sets, looking for nice pieces of Sims furniture. I start the construction of my Sims' Green Gables. I play with my cat. I eat. I sleep. And then, and only then, I check on my AF site, especially the C-Box. What do I see? Nice little comments like "Good work Rose" or even ones like "Why aren't you updating"? NO. I find spam. And not just spam. Spam with cussing. Not that I'd mind it if you did it on your own turf, but you don't do it on someone else's C-Box. Despite the fact that it's you who typed it, not me, it still affects the general appearance of MY site if a long string of astericks that is obviously created by the filter appears on MY C-Box. And it doesn't help that the comments are twelve days old, making me seem like I can't moderate my own friggin c-box.

She wasn't very smart, either, putting her email in. And "Kill Bill" is such a stupid name. Who do you think you are?! A frickin war machine? Not with an email like "cuteface982003@yahoo.com", you're not.

Bleeping idiot.

Much Ado about Everything


I googled Google. That makes me so cool.
...
I need to get a life. Fast.

::sigh::
My cat slipped outside yesterday morning and now we can't find him, and he still hasn't returned even though it's past 8 in the morning now. I currently have my ears tuned for his mewling when he returns and finds the door closed (we don't have a pet door; it lets in flies). I've been awake for two hours. I tried to make the new layout for my site perfect xhtml, but all that did was mess things up. I tried to make it perfect html, but that continued to mess things up, even in transitional doctype. Know what? I give up. I'm gonna go and choke those stupid doctype tags and manually render them obsolete from all 34 of my content pages (that's gonna take awhile). And I won't care if it's not Firefox or Netscape compadible or whatever, at least not until I've gotten over this thing. It's not like I have a lot of weirdish elements that they'll mess up without a doctype. Still, 34 new items on my longish list of things to do.
::sigh:: Everything's so screwed up.

Just to show how I need a new one, my life is falling apart at the rate of five elements per day. And I don't have a lot of elements to spare before I fall apart too.

Maybe listing the things I've gotta do will make me feel better (doubt it).

This reminds me of one of Aido's LJ posts: http://dhio.livejournal.com/132523.html
I wish /I/ only had that to complain about. *sniffle* I bet I'd be too busy to notice anyway. (btw, Sorbet pwns)

Edit: The cat is back. It is 12:40 at night (aka, morning of Aug 11). He is dirty and possibly has bugs. This calls for a bath, but we are all very relieved that he's okay. *crosses #2 off list*.
