out of the mouths of babes…

The Pup: See? Some girls wanna do it with boys and some just wanna do themselves.

(Me – trying desparately to avoid choking while holding in laughter.

And you there! I know what you’re thinking! Stop it. We were watching Figure Skating on TV, thus her logic that explains doubles vs. single competition. Heh.)

Oh for the love o’…..

Apparently SOME PEOPLE are just NEVER SATISFIED!

My sister – who was the first to discover problems with IE and this layout, fixed her silly hotmail browser thingy to open the site in a full sized window. (As long as your width is at least 800, you should see this site FINE in all browsers.)

And promptly yelled “CHANGE IT BACK!” when she discovered the angsty blue.

So there.

But it was worth it to play with the new Admin Theme Viewer thingy. Yeah.

(again – the THINGS I DO FOR YOU PEOPLE!)

Allright! Allright!

Sheesh. The things I go through for you people! New look AGAIN. Yes, AGAIN. This one is back to the two-column and as such it *should* work fine on shitty IE on all resolutions.  It’s not as flamboyantly pretty as the other one, but it will do until they get the other one’s problems fixed. It’s a problem with IEv.5-6 vs. IEv7.  The author of the theme is aware of the problem and looking for a fix, and if they find it, I may go back to the bright sunshiney yellow thing.

Until then, we have this blogaholic blue with its modified header and darker tones that make me happy in ways few people understand. Because, you know, my blog gets all angsty and teenagery just like its author. Yeah. Something like that.

However – the new admin-theme-preview plugin? Awesome! Instead of having to go live, then update while people could be watching me (because really – what more do you have to do with your day aside from obsessively refreshing my page for new content?!?) You can preview and update and mess with things until your happy and THEN go live with the new look.

This makes my designers heart go pitterpat! I *hate* for things to be seen before I’m ready for them to be seen!

Speaking of designs – some people drive me nuts. See, there’s this site, for a giant dance festival in california. I love these guys, cuz they are fantabulous and they love me too. But the dude who took the pictures for them last year? They want ALL the pictures up on a gallery. He sent me TEN THOUSAND PICTURES. Ten Thousand pictures! Needless to say, I’ve killed the CPU over and over again to get them uploaded and added to the gallery. I’m about halfway there at this point. Hah. I have to do it in the wee hours of the morning, where fewer people are there to bitch about my cpu usage. Fortunately, once they’re there, it’s a done deal. And this years photos I will insist on not only being web res (which is what took him so long to get them to me – I wasn’t about to crop and resize them all! Course, he didn’t crop at all, just resized. Gah! TEN THOUSAND PICTURES people!) but I will also insist they be broken up into more then just two sections “Saturday” and “Sunday” cuz damn, people. Just… damn.

Oh well. I should be napping. I can’t – have a business call in 30 minutes. After THAT, however, I’ma curl up on the couch and pretend to watch TV when I’ll really be sleeping. HAHAHH! Enjoy the new look, you freaky still-using-crappy-IE people. (Yes, this means you, sneaking in here from work! I see you! hahahah!)

Spam – not just for breakfast anymore!

You know, the spammers that visit here are sure a nice buncha people. Whenever I go into delete the Akismet backlog, I scroll through to make sure I’m not missing anything important (there for a while they thought my MOM was spam! Not! Though she does enjoy some fried up for dinner on occasion…). When I do, I’m always amused by some of the things that stand out.  For example:

Aw, a daddy watching his son while he sleeps, decides to think of the future and look for adult webhosting! Such a good daddy!

And the guy with similar information on his site – that all have url’s about Toyota. I’ve never owned or wanted a toyota, or even mentioned it till now. I think. But hey – more power to ya!

A lot of “Hey webmaster, great site!” and “Nice design! Good job, Master!” type comments. And well, while they’re right (I am the Master of my Domain!) it doesn’t negate the fact they want me to buy penis pills. Um. Yeah.

And then, there’s the fact that whenever I type something about my teenagers now, I get an overflow of information on how to get (and give?) hand jobs for free! HA! I’m totally teaching my kids to charge for that shit.  Just kidding. Any and all conversations about sex in anyway shape or form in THIS house start with “I will KILL YOU for even THINKING of that!” So there.  I’m just gonna make them watch Grease for the umpteenth time and do the Hand Jive. That’s all the hand-aling that’ll be going on round here!

So, spammers? I’m content with my webhost. I’m content with my penis size and function, thanks. (being, you know, without one and all!) I DO need a new car, eventually, but it won’t be a Toyota. And really, my kids? Never gonna do that sex thing – so stop with the hand job lessons ok?

But, you can TOTALLY continue to think I’m fabulous. THAT much is perfectly fine with me.
