Corkboard Layout
I’m not a layout changing all the time kind of a girl. I get things how I like them and I tend to keep them like that for a while. Today I made a spiffy new layout. The inspiration – a corkboard. I saw this tutorial and thought it looked like a fun idea. I did it a little differently, and I think it came out cute. But how will I put my title on? I wondered. I googled “push pin tutorial” and found a really nice one for Photo Impact. I used the concept in PSP, though and came up with the header. I made the background based on the stripes of my bedspread, and I’m really happy with the results.
I scream, you scream…
Tuesday Twosome
Ice Cream…
1. Two favorite flavors: banana and chocolate
2. Two least favorite flavors: cookie dough… I can’t think of another one
3. In a cone or cup? cone
5. If you could invent your own flavor of ice cream, what would it be and why? strawbery and chocolate because they are perfect together.

Rhode Island – misleading
Last night I recieved a call from my mother, asking me if I knew that Rhode Island wasn’t really an island. I told her that yes, I did know that, and she was shocked. Apparently, she herself did not know. I explained to her that I knew that because it was one of the few states I could actually identify on my states test in fifth grade – it being the smallest. I told her that she never gets to make fun of me about my lack of geographical knowledge again. I don’t know why they call it Rhode Island, but I’m not sure why it has such a long name, being like half the size of orange county. I guess my mom thought it really was an island because the name is out in the ocean on the map, or something.
Ah, well. Californians are not known for their geographical prowess.
All the way in 64 bit!
okay, brace yourselves. A few months ago, as some of you might recall, I got a new CPU; the shiny new AMD Athlon 64 3200. Just today, I read the greatest headline;
Microsoft Launches Beta for Windows® XP 64-Bit Edition. AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor Compatible
This is totally great. I am looking into it right now, but I am just giddy! I’m looking into trying the free 360 day trial(okay, that’s like a year.) right now.
Windows® XP 64-Bit Edition is designed to address the most demanding needs of technical workstation users who require large amounts of memory and floating point performance in areas such as mechanical design and analysis, digital content creation and scientific and high-performance computing applications. Windows XP 64-Bit Edition for 64-Bit Extended Systems is only compatible with AMD Opteron™– and AMD Athlon™ 64 processor-based computers.
TV shows on DVD
I really like TV shows on DVD. I don’t like that many new shows, but there are some, especially older ones, where I could watch through half the season on a day while doing other tasks. I have up through Season 3 of the Dick Van Dyke show, a truly great show. I love the Sports Night set that actually belongs to my mom, even though it has the word “sport” in it.
Shows I’d Like on DVD
Lois and Clark – I loved this show. I used to watch it every single week.
Boy Meets World – I just found out that season one has been released recently and season 2 is on the way, though I’m looking forward to the later seasons a bit more
Kim Possible – great Disney cartoon – not the special movie or a few episodes DVDs, a nice full set. All the episodes with specials preferably.
Recess – hysterical kid’s cartoon, another Disney one, which I find so amusing
Daria – great cartoon, very not Disney.
DVDs I’m looking forward to
The O.C. Season One
Smallville Season Three
Dick Van Dyke – Seasons Four and Five (4 and 5 are out, I just don’t have them)
What’s this “weather” stuff about?
My grandmother just told me that our friend is in Florida and all the flights out are cancelled. Apparently there are, like, tornados and a hurricane. Now, I might point out at this time that I live in California. I know about tornados from The Wizard of Oz. I don’t really know what a hurricane is. Just wind and rain? that sounds like a pretty boring natural disaster when compared with, say, earthquakes and tsunamis.
My Scanner’s Working again
Since I got my scanner drivers installed again, I thought I’d scan something.
What I chose was the front of my invitation to the dinner for Signifigant Others of Insomniacs.
