There will be an IE6 Funeral to be held on Thursday, March 4, 2010, 7:00 pm at Forest Room 5, 2532 15th Street, Denver, CO 80211-3902 (click here for directions). Funeral attire is encouraged.

Internet Explorer Six, resident of the interwebs for over 8 years, died the morning of March 1, 2010 in Mountain View, California, as a result of a workplace injury sustained at the headquarters of Google, Inc. Internet Explorer Six, known to friends and family as "IE6," is survived by son Internet Explorer Seven, and grand-daughter Internet Explorer Eight.

Goodbye IE6. I first learned HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP using you when I was young and bored with life. I love you, yet at the same time, I also hate you.

Guess what, guess what? I'm too excited to announce this before the official lunch of the site, but I just have to share it. I just have to. I've adopted the Vampire Hunter D fanlisting from Myka. She had it up for adoption and I chance upon the post, one day. Of course, I immediately sent her an e-mail about it. XD

Here's the layout of the upcoming site Coffin Thrill: Vampire Hunter D Fanlisting:

I've spent like days worrying about that layout - wondering what type of layout this time. I started that after I watched Sherlock Holmes this afternoon. I didn't get the inspiration from there though - but Robert Downey Jr. is sexy. XD

Unlike the Lunatic Symphony layout I did before that took me hours rearranging details, I did this one in one whole sitting, including the coding - about 2 hours or so. And then, I spent the rest of the day filling up the about page. I spend more time thinking about what to put there than code this.  I just randomly picked an image I liked best among the scans I currently have - since I only have a few high quality ones. And started from there. While editing this image a bit, I thought, as oppose to a striking shades of colors, a soft feeling would suit it best - since D himself is a quiet, elegant soft-hearted bishie. And since the art (image) itself is already very pretty, there's not much to edit in it.

Btw, isn't the image I used lovely? It's the cover of the 9th Vampire Hunter D novel: The Rose Princess. I've been a fan of Vampire Hunter D since I was a kid. It's one of those childhood anime I used to watch. D is one of my childhood crushes and I used to think that I wanted him for a husband when I grow up. Unfortunately, I didn't grow. *sob*  I also remembered owning a VCD copy of the Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust too. I'm trilled to be allowed to adopt this fanlisting. Every time I think about it, it makes my day brighter and brighter and brighter. x3

PS: I'll fill you guys in with the link when everything else is done. ;)

Please join Coffin Thrill: Vampire Hunter D Fanlisting!

This year's Valentine's Day and Lunar New Year falls on the same date. So before the clock hits 12, I'm giving you 2 gifts in a row! As usual, click and take!

The photo above was taken last week. That's my brother's beloved glass. We were having lunch then and the ice turned into heart-shape unintentionally. We found it amusing so I took a photo of it.

Of course, for the Lunar New Year, here's something about Tigers that I stole from here:

Tigers do not find worth in power or money. They will be completely honest about how they feel and expect the same of you. On the other hand, they seek approval from peers and family. Generally, because of their charming personalities Tigers are well liked. Often, failing at a given task or being unproductive in his personal or professional life can cause a Tiger to experience a depression. Criticism from loved ones can also generate this type of Tiger reaction. Still, like all felines, Tigers always land on their feet, ready for their next act in life, pursuing it with unyielding energy and hunting it infallibly.

The year of the Ox is going bye bye. I feel sad because I'm born of that year. Then again, here comes another year! x3

I'm sorry if I can't be like other designers who has totally kick ass web designs. I know my blog design is plain. But I like simple, clean and organized designs more than anything. And it's in XHTML standard too that makes it, hopefully, work in different browsers despite that it's a 4 year old design.

Don't pick on it, wise-ass. *pout*

I saw a baby lizard. It was beside my bathroom mat. It looked like it just hatched from an egg – that small. It's tiny and white and cute. I wanna squish it, I wanna squish it, I wanna squish it because it's cute.

I kicked the mat pushed it a bit but it didn't seem to move. I kicked it again and it moved but I wasn't sure if it's just because I kicked the mat. I kicked the mat again and it moved a little bit again.

I was restraining myself really hard not to step on it. I kept telling myself, "leave it alone, leave it alone." But at the back of my mind, I kept thinking, "I wanna squish it. I wanna squish it." Even until now, as I type here, I'm still thinking of wanting to squish it.

I wanna kill it. I wanna kill it. I wanna kill it. I wanna kill it. I wanna kill it. Because squishing it makes nice sounds and killing it is fun. ♥
