Just when things were setting in
August 24, 1999
I was really happy with this webpage design because it didn’t look as bland as the last one and i also got to tinker with Photoshop. Yet, these couple of days, I load up the page and stare and get bored of it. I know I know, it’s been only like two weeks since I changed from the blue page but just now, I made a design prototype. Again, it’s essentially the same page but a few significant color changes. I need feedback so please look at the prototype.
The Wretched falls
August 21, 1999
Woohoo. Just gotten word that around 3pm today, our infamous Premier, Mr. Glen Clark has resigned! What a glorious day. Perhaps someone with better qualifications and perhaps a bit more honest will take on the mantle of Premier.
What’s in being cool
August 19, 1999
Today’s outing made me realize that there are many people out there who try too hard to be "cool" or accepted or whatever. For those people, I say to them, "Get a life and screw off". Now I’m not one to preach on being cool since I’ve never considered myself being cool. In fact, I’m proud to say that instead of conforming to what today’s social trends are, I follow my own little code of conduct instead. The result? I strut through the streets having fun, laughing, not caring what superficial bitches and uneducated club hoppers think. I find it sad to see people wearing fashion found in the pages of YM or whatever Jennifer Love Hewitt is wearing because they don’t personally like the style but they do it because someone else likes the style. Sad.
On a lighter note, I went to the L I B R A R Y yesterday <what’s wrong with me?> and got a copy of the Hobbit – J. R. R Tolkien. It’s supposed to be a must read for fantasy fans and is the first of a series in the Lord of the Rings collection. I guess this summer sucks so bad for me that I’m going back to my childhood pastime of literature absorption
I also want to do a little bit of writing myself. To save some time, here’s is the FAQ on Me Writing
- About what? I don’t know.
- Will it be published? No.
- Where can I get a copy? Why, here of course!
- Are you a big ass loser? … … … yes.
A little bit of change is ok
This section has been renamed News since I’ll only be posting insignificant pieces of information here. As for the Main page, more extensive pieces will be posted such as unresolvable topics, major happenings, etc.
By the way, you all know that the little envelope at the bottom right is actually the Email Me button right? I was thinking, hmm, if I were a dumb person, I may not realize that the envelope may mean email. Just pointing it out in case you are one of those dumb people.
Sixth Sense
August 17, 1999
Go watch it. It’s good. It’s not your typical scare-you-then-you-leave movie, it genuinely has some spine tingling scenes. To top it off, as my sister put it, "There’s a shocking ending". I obviously won’t give it away here but I can say it was an original ending (not like Scream, Scream 2, I know…, I know… II, etc).
To finish up the night, me and three other chums played a little mahjong ("KONG") followed by some Poker/Showhand. ‘Twas fun, must do it again another day.
Nothing like waking up in the morning to the sound of rain
August 15, 1999
Typical Vancouver rainday today – on the day we planned to go to the beach. So instead of tanning and staring at girls, I woke up today and fixed up the corner of this page. The pixels weren’t lining up right and you could see the stupid white bar extend. Must thank Jesse for suggesting the simplest solution (I felt pretty dumb when I couldn’t think of it) and Dennis (the official tester of this site and official cannon fodder of Clan Green). Btw, DO NOT USE NETSCAPE WHEN VIEWING THIS SITE, OR ANY OTHER SITE FOR THAT MATTER. No. Bad. No. Netscape sucks. This site looks all messed up under Netscape.
Sweet
August 12, 1999
Version 1.2 is now up. I think it looks a bit better, not as bland as the blue. And look… the buttons. They actually took me more than 5 minutes to make (unlike that last set). The Clan Green page will look much better when I make some graphics and crap for it. Anyone interested in making graphics for me? Send applications immediately.
Clan Green emerges once again from the blood laden fields of Doom
August 11, 1999
Two important pieces of news today, well, important to this webpage anyhow. First, a new version, 1.2, will be up in a matter of days. Basically, it’s the same design but with a bit more graphics and hopefully a better interface. Secondly, this will be the temporary home of Clan Green – a newly formed clan dedicated in one goal: to eradicate Clan Indigo. Clan Green is accepting new members but you must prove yourself worthy to take on the mantle of a Clanner.
What a shitty day
August 09, 1999
This is not just one of those updates where I bitch and then put something on the Life Sucks page. No. Today was just one of those shitty shitty days. It began actually a couple days ago when UBC emailed me telling me I had been picked in the parking lottery thing. No I don’t win anything, it just means I get to buy a parking pass first. It also said they’re accepting a limited number of purchases over the internet (500 or 1000). Being the lazy ass I am, I thought to myself, I’ll do it later. So last night as I clicked around on their shitty webpage, I find that the online passes have been sold out – I would have to line up in person to buy one. Fuck. The parking office opens at 8:30am but as a UBC tradition, people start lining up at 5:00am. No kdding. So, I stayed up all fucking night watching night TV (M.A.S.H reruns, Tai-Bo ads, etc) and playing Darkstone. At 5am, I get ready to go and by 5:30am I’m out the door. On Knight St, heading to King Edward, I get lasered going at 84k’s. My radar detector did go off but I being a fucking idiot just thought it was probably an automatic door or something. I thought, "Even cops don’t wake up this early." Fuck was I wrong. So there’s another $115 down the drain AND another 3 fucking points which means I’ll have another $300 down soon. After that, I continued on my trek and got my stupid parking pass. Luckily, you didn’t have to actually stand there waiting… they gave you a number and called you up. So I went to the SUB and read and had a shitty bland coffee and a moderately good cinnamon bun. Come home. Write this. Shitty day.
The Reviews section is dead
August 08, 1999
After much deliberation – 10 seconds, I decided to destroy the reviews section from this site. I wouldn’t have anything to review and my reviews tend to ramble on and on and on and on. It was my last day of work yesterday! Yippee! First time in three years where I’ll have no source of income and totally devote my life to school. Ha! Currently working on a song about stuff that happened to me recently. Also playing with the idea of doing a re-re-design of this site because I’m getting bored on how this looks. Need a cool idea for it though. Suggestions?
There are 4 more weeks of summer holiday
August 07, 1999
In exactly one month, school starts and no longer will updates be posted at one or half day intervals. (Running 34 credits this year) Not much happened lately. Not much happens ever. Damn. Life sucks. Hey!!! Woohoo. New reason why Life Sucks is up. The Darkstone review is partially written… so another day or so.
Happy Birthday Vivian
August 04, 1999
Happy 19th to Vivian today. Sorry couldn’t stay for the fireworks and the *party* afterwards. Still too lazy to make reviews cuz i don’t know what to say. I’m on the edge of deleting the whole reviews section. What do you think? Darkstone is really really good – single or multiplay. More on that later.
Great, I got my ass kicked again
August 03, 1999
I hate pool. Andrew kicked my ass 6-1 today. Finally got to see Runaway Bride – it wasn’t bad. Of course it was a chick flick but it also made you feel all warm and tingly inside. I’m writing in simple sentences today. See? Darkstone is good. Definitely the game to tide us all over until Diablo II comes out. Reviews for both of those things will be up soon. I wrote another poem at 4am last night. Am I going crazy? Critics welcome (about the poem, not my sanity).
Finally found a layout I like
Wow after finishing the links index page, i decided to incorporate this scheme into my other pages in this site. Currently working on a new title page because those two moving words are just annoying now. Am going to watch Runaway Bride tonight and Andrew was so generous to give me a new game – Darkstone – which means there’ll probably be the first two reviews ever soon.
One of those days
August 02, 1999
Cool. Pool. I still suck. Although Sunny still thinks I kicked his ass. I don’t know. And wow… the girls there. Phew. and then the tea house place we went too. Phew. Damn. Phew. Cool, third-last day of work yesterday. Only two more and then it’s goodbye. Updated the links page to also include an index so there isn’t a page 2 meters in length describing every link i have. The Links page will now just include links i find interesting in the month or week.
