Side Projects & Recommendations
I'm on a small mission to pimp this theme out a little bit.I've uploaded a new copy of wordpress where I'll be editing my little heart out. It's my goal to come up with at least three brighter schemed versions of this theme to complement and go along with the pre-set package.
While I'm not sure the author allows me to do this I am sure he/she won't mind me editing the theme for my own personal use. Now weather or not I'll be able to share them is another story that I'll take up when I'm finished with my edits.
Along with drastic color changes, I plan to prefix some plugin stylings such as flickr RSS and My Twitter as those are two plugins that seem to be most in use these days. I think I'll also pre-install the code snippet for the Sez Who plugin as well because I feel it's an important and downright priceless tool for bloggers.
I think a switch to more colorful icons might be in order as well. I'm really not digging the black and white ones that come standard with this theme. In reality those icons are really the only complaint I have about it as a whole. It's a damned good theme. Clean, roomy, easily modified. It's everything you could ask for in a wordpress theme when you sit back and think about it.
On a sidenote I highly recommend all my fellow bloggers to head over to the Sez Who website and register an account. You don't have to use the plugin (even though I really think it's a highly useful tool!) but it's always nice to be able to keep track of websites you've commented on and get a little star power in people's sideboards. Free traffic and recognition, how can ya beat that?

Boboe - past and present
I still can't believe Boboe went from this:
He's not even a full year old and he's huge. I can't wait to get him fixed so I can see just how big he'll really get. I just can't believe how different he is, it's like two completely different cats!

Blog Tags: 7 Weird & Random Facts
This tag was sent to me by: Karin on November 20th. I was having server and life issues at the time so I'm more than a little late.Better late than never though right?
The Rules:
- Link to your tagger and post these rules.
- Share 7 facts about yourself: some random, some weird.
- Tag 7 people at the end of your post and list their names and link to them.
- Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment at their blog.
- When I talk to the fishies in Wal*Mart, they all come swimming to the front of the tank and follow my finger wherever it goes.
- I can wave to people with the little toe on my right foot.
- My jaw is double jointed. I can pop the bones in and out of their sockets on both sides. This 'trick' comes in very handy for freaking people out!
- I like to pick my boogies and eat them.. no just playing but in all seriousness I found a pot plant growing in our front yard the other day, damn thing was half as tall as I am and before 'putting it to sleep' I took a photo of it because I found it hilarious.. No, it wasn't my pot plant, we still haven't figured out where it came from (other than a seed of course) but seriously, what are the odds of going to plant flowers in your garden and finding a 2 and half foot tall pot plant?!
- I'm 24 today.. god I feel old. On the plus side I got some kick ass makeup and a super cute shirt.. and purse, yay me!
- A giant june beetle just landed.. in my hair. Maybe I smell good?
- I kicked Daniel in the ass the other night at Wal*Mart when he was bent over looking at cough drops... I accidently kicked him too hard and he fell over INTO the display rack and toppled into the floor. The old couple passing by the isle found it highly amusing.. god I love old people hehe
People never see the things they do as weird.. unless it's something REALLY out there, but I wonder why that is? You'd think someone eating their own boogers woud know they're a fuckin weirdo.. no offense to those of you out there who participate in that passtime but um.. ew?
For the next round of weird, random, factual people, I pick: Bubs, Malin, Tristian, Sarah, Nick, Melissa and Christine. Good luck guys, and have fun!

Fiddling Around
I still haven't figured out the paragraph issue, so for now I'll just manually insert the line breaks.In the meantime, I've decided to upgrade to a more... clean design. I'm still fiddling around with it so bear with me. Some parts will be ugly or won't work for a small space of time but everything will be put back into place in due time!
