Melancholy Muse
Sometimes I think best if left in the memory,
It's better kept inside than left for good.
Lookin' back each time they tried to tell me,
Well something's gotta go wrong 'cause I'm feelin' way too damn good...

Lets all point and laugh....
Yes, it's point and laugh at Sera day. Oooh yes. I was sat in front of the computer, rubbing my (already sore from a cold) nose, cheeks, top lip and general nasal area with ice cubes. Looked odd.
Guess who was chopping raw red chilli's and the seeds, and paused to rub her face.
Oooh yes.
Oooh it burns.

Uh-oh.....
Today Freja was chasing a small spider thingie around the living-room of the apartment. Going to take it away from her (After the previous incident with her being bitten by a brown widow) and he casually commented, " It looks like one of those brown ones from before... just tiny."
I joked previously about how I'd hate it if this female brown widow that took up residence in my laundry basket had managed to lay eggs before we got rid of it.
Ugh, I pray I was wrong.
*shivers*

Im a bad girl.
Well, I need to read my email more often. I don't start work until four this afternoon, so after cleaning the apartment and spoiling Freja and Grumpy I decided to tidy some blog templates and check mails, etc. I found lurking in my inbox emails from the Beastly Blogs Club, Branitar, thousands (or so it seemed) of site traffic reports and junk from Blogger, Blogrr, Blogmad, BlogExplosion, yadda yadda....and even an email from my sister-in-law which I forgot about. Sorry Kate.
I'll get around to answering them.... Sorry :/

Blah blah blah...
Well, today is the lst day of my mini-break from work. My four day holiday. And what have I done with it? Bugger all. I haven't fixed the template up for this place. I haven't finished any other computer related work. I played some Syrnia and ate too much, that's what I did do. I also went out last night for my mothers birthday, but I don't know how much two cocktails, one glass of wine and a salad really count as 'doing something'. Hubby has been working, so I suppose that put a damper on my time off. Now all I have to do is go back to work and look forward to pay day. And my mothers departure for England on friday... then the arrival of my brother's best-friend and my brother's father the wednesday after.Or is it the wednesday after that? I don't know. I don't care.

Pointless flummery.
I have four whole days off work. I'm not sure what I'm going to spend them doing, other than musing, cleaning and doing a little clan-related stuff for one of the games I play. I have to go out to dinner today, and other than that..... I'm so boring. I suppose I could go to the beach. It's almost sad that I live here and never go to the beach. Monday is my mother's birthday; I guess we'll have to go out for dinner or something then too. And I'll have to dredge up a present.
Blah. I'm really not feeling my best today. The little black bug of depression has been nibbling at me for days. (And talking of bugs, you should have seen the size of the THING that woke me up by crawling on my face the other night! Ugh!!)
Oh well. Signing off, not that I really said anything.

Searching for someone with a brain!
I am having web design problems. Bizzare ones. I am making a template wherein there are three main layers:
1.) The background image of the site.
2.) An opaque container on top of the background image.
3.) 4 Solid boxes of content, within the opaque container.
Now. The problem. The opacity of the second layer is set like this, currently:
#wrap {
border:5px solid #473624;
width:90%;
margin:0 auto;
padding:8px;
text-align:left;
background: #000000;
filter:alpha(opacity=50);
opacity: 0.5;
-moz-opacity:0.4;
}
Ok.
Now the problem.
I don't want the third layer, the boxes of content, to inherit the opacity. I want them to be solid, surrounded by the opaque container, atop the background image. But they do inherit it, even though their background colours are set separately. I am assuming that they inherit the opacity simply because they are inside the DIV which creates the opaque container. I just can't make them stop. I have tried and tried everything that, to me, is obvious.
Please, someone, help me - all I need is some sort of opacity-stop property, and a sensible person to show me how to use it. I have searched the web for hours now, and I found one site which aparently had the answer... but they wanted a $10 subscription before they would show it to me.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
If anyone managed to follow all that, and if it made some sort of sense to them... congratulations. If they know the answer, I'll love them forever.

Ok Mike 18, This is WAR.
Yes, you bastard gay porn commenter. I am not going to link to your stupid little badly made tacky looking site here. I am sick to death of being spammed by you. Now you have REALLY PISSED ME OFF. I have flagged and reported your blogger blog as a spam blog linking to your main site only. I have also done the same for your ifrance account. As soon as I find out ANYTHING else about you I will report that. Even your goddam ISP if I can, you stupid cuntwipe of a spammer. You've met your match this time, you little shit. One comment I could deal with. But EVERY SINGLE DAY...... ooooh boy, You WILL REGRET IT.

Blogging 101
This is my 101st entry. 101 bits of rubbish that fell from my fingers. I don't really know what to think about it. I've been reading back through my archives, and I think that what I used to write was more interesting. Maybe I had a more interesting life back then... or at least more time to ponder over the absurdities of it.
Now what should I post for a slightly unusual entry to mark this event. Hmm. Well you can all have a rather grainy picture of the view from the window 3 meters to the side of me right now.
Also... hmm... I'll make a spiffy-ish little graphic for myself. Just to amuse myself. A 100 posts graphic. I also had a graphic I wanted to make for YummY! and KatKat, so I'll get off my butt and do those too.

Wow.
I had never come across this until my visit to the supermarket today. It made me giggle.
PimpJuice.
Mmmm. Tastes good, actually.
