Perfect Timing :p
Netcomments has been down since about a month ago. I waited and waited for it to come back online again, even toyed with the idea of donating money to the writer of the code to help fund the new server.

But, just when I decided to give up on waiting forever and installed the chatterbox, netcomments is back in business again. Oh well, life's crazy like that.
ChatterBox
I visit Jamie's synkronize.tk site quite often, as Pearly has a link to her site. She uses Chatterbox for her tagboard, and I decided to implement that on this site. I figure it'll be well worth it since that dang commenting system is still down, and I am just too lazy to figure out where to get another decent one. Anyways, I went with Chatterbox instead of Tagboard because Tag uses iframe, which Netscape can't handle... *why am I not surprise?* It's two in the morning now, I didn't realize I spent almost 2.5 hours tweaking it. Hehehe.

Quick instructions if the Chatterbox is not intuitive enough:
1. type your name in the 'anonymous' area
2. type your message in the next text input box, and
3. hit POST

Enjoy! If this breaks on your browser, please email me. Thanks!

Digital Camera
Yippie! My friend Jeff brought his brand new, shiny, Sony Digital Camera to the office today, and I got some nice snapshots of my dual monitor setup *ahem!*. Once he downloads them from the memory stick, I'll post them out there. *bounce bounce*

I'm such a showoff. *evil chuckle*

Beautiful Garbage
The Garbage concert was awesome!!! Shirley Manson is such an awesome singer, and of course the whole band was great too. The band opened the show with "Push It" and then proceeded to play many of their songs from the 1st and 2nd albums, with a new song every once in a while. In the very end they closed with one of my favorite "Only Happy When It Rains".

Need to clean up and go to bed now. I'm about to collapse after so much jumping and yelling and screaming off the top of my lungs. Life is beautiful with Garbage. :)

Lights out.
Shows!
Woo hoo! I'm actually looking forward to this monday. Before you all hit me on the head and think that there's something wrong with me, let me tell ya this: I am going to the Garbage concert at The Pageant tonight!! I've been listening to their song since their first album... back then I thought it was such a girl power thing to have a female front a rock band. Needless to say, I got hooked on "I'm Only Happy When It Rains" (yes, I do hum that song sometimes when it is pouring out there), "Queer", "Stupid Girl", all the songs from the album Version 2.0, and most of their new stuff from Beautiful Garbage. It'll be a blast tonight.

On top of that, I manage to get tickets for the MammaMia show that's going to be played here in August. My mom loves ABBA and now so do I. The tickets are a whooping $50 something each, but I'm sure it'll be totally worth it. Can't wait!
