I added a few rotating headers, inspired by Trench of 7milesdown. Before anyone asks, yes, I do know that his use is far superior to my own. 😛 I also revamped the “About Jenn” page. It’s still not complete, but by using a gallery instead of my random images, it looks a helluva lot better at first glance. It’s funny how when you actually sit down to list all the things you love, you struggle to think of the things that YOU LOVE. Heh.

I skipped SGA, so I guess the love has really left me. I’m sad about that. At least we got “Turn Left” (Doctor Who) tonight. Now I’ve seen that episode at least 10 times, but having it on air is just cool.

The aforementioned dinner fell through, but Dad assures me that we’re going tomorrow. I can already taste the greatness. I :love: beef. 😆

[Edit: Because I hate this theme, I’ll be getting a new one tomorrow, or at least going with my own that works. Iframes? Seriously?!? Ugh!!!]

[Edit Edit: I like this theme. Since I didn’t create it, there may be bugs I don’t know about. See any? I know that in my IE7, the right sidebar gets smooshy in places, and I cannot for the life of me figure out why or correct it. Oh well. Use FF or Opera anyway 😛 ]

Dark Prospect

Am I the only one in America who’s not interested in The Dark Knight?  There is absolutely no chance that I’ll see it in a theater, and there’s little chance that I’ll even dl it.  I’m sure it’s actually, you know, dark, as in brightness, and that doesn’t bode well for dl’s.  Meh.  Just tell me what happens and it will be as good as being there….better even.

SGA is on tonight.  Whoop-de-doo.  I used to love Fridays for that very reason, but this is a Keller ep, so, Bah!  Maybe I’ll hold today’s recordings of Voyager and watch them later instead.  Hey, either way, it’s a Picardo kind of night, no?  🙂

My grandmother came out of her surgery much better for it.  They removed some clots and infection and she’s on her way home.  Dad said we might try to make Mom go out for steak tonight, and I certainly hope we do.  There’s a new dish at Texas Steakhouse I want to try:

Coffee Rubbed Steak Skillet: Mesquite-grilled filet tips hand-seasoned with ground coffee and Texas spices served sizzlin’ hot over chipotle BBQ red-eye gravy on a bed of red bliss potatoes, sautéed mushrooms and spicy roasted corn ‘n peppers. Garnished with fresh sliced jalapeños for that added kick.

Yum.

I’ve had to lose the LJ plugin that allowed me to crosspost. I was trying to tidy up the code a little, went with someone’s suggestion, and killed it dead. I never post on LJ, so that wasn’t something I was concerned about, but SEVERAL posts on this site were written with LJ tags, which obviously, won’t work anymore. Therefore, if you see any reference to LJ-ish things, they will just be a hot mess. I was able to find a good enough moodtheme plugin by Cricket (no, I will NOT give my my moodthemes, thankyouverymuch).

Ooh, speaking of HOT MESS. Project Runway. Blayne. I think I’ll just call him “Mango”. Why? Well, he LOOKS like Mango, he SOUNDS like Mango (liciousnness….blech!), and above all else, he f’n IS Mango. Seriously, let the tanning go. He is the color of a overripe mango. And he annoys me. Yup.

Well, my grandmother goes under the knife again today. This sucks. Mom has been going non-stop since the last week of June. She needs a break, but there’s no way she’ll take one. She’s in NC again, for the second time in two weeks, after getting only 10 minutes to prepare to leave the first time after coming home from TN. She’s sleeping in the hospital chair in my grandmother’s room, and I’m sure she’s not eating well. I just want her home. Scott is headed to Lewisburg to qualify for the WV Amateur (or Open, I don’t know which) and Dad is just going about his normal things, albeit much lonlier than usual.

I was so confused yesterday that I thought it was Wednesday already. In a small, small way, I’m almost looking forward to going back to work. No, on second thought, strike that. I’m not.
