Heloo, I'm trying to upload my new skin for this blog. I hope to fix the bugs in this thing so everything would be PURRFECT. =) having trouble accessing the site thoough.

The links here are as of yet unaccessible. These are some of the sections that I intend to work on later. The pages for the ICY SHRINE and the GALLERY are currently under construction and will be available soon while the ANIME and COMICS sections are rather long term projects. I've no intention of finishing them right away since I plan to be busy looking for a job for the next few days (or months depending on how cursed I am these days). I intend to put up a Delirium shrine someday since she's clearly a muse for this site. Just have to figure out how to get round the copyright issues since its no fun buiding a webpage for her without any graphics.

The square face icon on the left-hand corner of this page is a link to my bravenet site. The graphics that you see here are stored in that site. Everything is just FTPed from there. Those icons are my pride and joy. If your computer is java enabled, you'll see the icons switching when you move your mouse over them. Try it, its FUN!

On another note, I see how blogging could be addicting. It's just fun letting yourself rant especially if you have something to rant about and if not, it's still fun just pretending you have anyhting to write about (like i'm doing). The downside is that the interface is not really instantaneous. First of all, you have to be on front of the computer all the time. Unless you have a laptop at your disposal, you have to wait till you get to a place where you have acess to a computer before writing anything. Secondly, you have to go online to pubish anything. This sucks for those who don't have unlimited internet access like those cable internet services. Using prepaid is even more of a hassle since getting connected is almost always freaky and frustrating. As for myself, I'm writing this in Notepad so I could go online later to publish it. That's why this entry is so long.

Reading other people's journals is another source of entertainment. I read everyone's journals (at least those people that I know who have blogs). I like reading Neil Gaiman's blog cause there's so much news there and I tried reading Caitlin R. Kiernan's last night. Writers are weird but always fun. Anyway, after reading everyone's blog, I had trouble falling asleep because my head was swimming with other people's thoughts. Now this is not too bad IF your sanity is intact. I just don't recommend this for mentally unstable people. It might throw them over the edge and they'll end up in Arkham or something. (I hear voices...)

Speaking of Neil Gaiman, my respect for the guy as a writer just went up two notches. My brother is actually reading a copy of his Smoke and Mirrors. Wow! My brother who treats books like the the plague is actually holding a book??? The only book that I know of that he read in his entire life was a copy of the Necronomicon which he lost/misplaced. Just yesterday, I caught him checking out my bookshelf. He was actually checking out my books!!! Wow. Am still in shock.
