Dec 1, 2008 events

Sorry for the lack of updates lately! I was trying to get a new layout up before my next update, but I’m having trouble coding it. Also, I’m leaving this week so I’m busy preparing for the trip. I’m getting as much course work as I can done now so that I won’t have to worry about it later

My mom let me know a couple days ago that soon after I get home we’ll be visiting my grandparents in Las Vegas (ROADTRIP~!). I was feeling pretty good about the fact that this might be a chance to finally have a nice visit with them (aka a visit that doesn’t end in 5+ years of ignoring each other) but my spirits were dampened just a teensy bit when the first thing my grandma said when she learned of our visit was “THERE’S NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR YOU TO STAY HERE.” Oh, don’t you just love family Where’s that picture book grandma who would be waiting with fresh cookies and milk?? No but really I’m still pretty excited because family reunion or not, Vegas should be a cool place to visit. And my sister has been all excited over this restaurants.com website so she’s hoarded a bunch of coupons for nice places to eat out at.

One of the first things I have scheduled for when I get back, though, is to GET A HAIRCUT. I can cut my own hair alright, but we’re talking trims here people. And seeing as I’ve been here over a year without a “real” haircut (I don’t trust the barbers here, they don’t understand English very well and I will not risk them cutting off all my hair!!) I feel the need for one, badly. But not to worry, I had my mom book an appointment with a good stylist a couple weeks back so I’m all set

All in all I’m veryyy excited to go back, and I’m leaving so soon! It will be crazy to be back in the U.S. after all this time living in Kuwait. I’ll probably have a mild case of reverse culture shock haha Something along the lines of ‘I can actually understand what the people around me are saying?!’ Because seriously, the moments I hear a convo going on around me in English are very rare indeed. Anyways I guess it’s about time I wrapped this up. I’ll try to get that layout up soon. Definitely before I leave at the end of this week!

Nov 17, 2008 cursors

The new multibrowser cursors are up! They work in both Firefox and Internet Explorer, and probably other browsers as well, but I haven’t tested so I don’t know for sure

Also added a new set of mini dolls with a beach theme… when it’s almost winter… yeah I don’t know where that came from either haha It was probably just an excuse to draw an inner tube doughnut.

Edit 11/20/08
A few more backgrounds and pixels up. And my sales post is now up as well!

Nov 15, 2008 moving

I am officially in the process of moving!! Finally! Getting all my stuff boxed up hasn’t been a walk in the park though, and I found that I’ll have to leave a lot of stuff behind since I just don’t have the room to take it with me. I divided a lot of the smaller things up into little ~cute lots~ that I’ll be selling online so at least the better stuff won’t be thrown out I’ll be posting it all up for sale on my livejournal either tomorrow or Monday, and when it’s up I’ll post a notice here too in case anyone is interested.

Anyways, I haven’t been feeling very creative lately I guess it’s because I’m busy getting ready to move, stressing over applying to Utah State, and I just started a new term this week so I’m not really used to the new classes yet. I’m taking my first college history course, and I’ve never been good at memorizing names/dates so it’s looking like this will be a tough term in that aspect. I actually wish I could have just taken more accounting classes instead

I found a way to make custom cursors work in firefox though so I will soon be adding those to the content. No more IE only cursors!
