I didn't get the chance to write a real blog entry again today, so I'll just leave ya with a link to a message board that I just joined to discuss Photo Impact, a program that is like Photo Shop and Paint Shop. The All involve digital imaging, so they're pretty much in the same family. Well, here's the link anyways:

True creativity on this site.

Well, I'm still in the process of making changes to the structure of this blog, but there's one main task that I forgot to do today: actually post a blog! So here it is:

I read this article today as posted on the Blogger main page. As I discovered in the past few months, bloggin is getting very popular among many people, which made me decide to begin one of my own. Weblogs are one of the features on the internet that hasn't been taken over comertially. I hope that it stays that way, independent. Can't have everything commertialized on the web. Also, that is why I like what Webzine is doing; keeping aspects of the internet independent.

Ok, things are just about back to where they were originally.

Had to get rid of the link me form, for now. But, here's the button though:

This blog is acting so crazy! I can't get the html code right! Had to go back to the original layout for now until I get the chance to fix it, hopefully later today. *ugh*

Not much went on with me this weekend, except for watching for more info about Aaliyah. The service call that I scheduled for Saturday was getiin in the way of other plans that I had. Someone was supposed to drop by between 1:30 and 3:30 in the afternoon; showed up around 3:25. I'm assuming that there were a lot of Road Runner connection problems in the city or something. But as of right now, my cable modem is up and working, it had more to do with the connection outside my house, rather thatn with the modem itself. Someone else is supposed to come out this week to work on the cable line outside, to make sure that its working at high speed like it is supposed to be.

After all of that madness, I went out shopping at Old Navy and Lerner's. I was going to go to some other stores, but I went broke. But I am glad that I did find a few more pair of jeans to go back to school in, including a pair of dress pants! For me, with the way that I'm shaped, its a big deal when I actually come back home with a couple of bags of clothes from the mall. :P
I spent yesterday chilling at home with my parents. Wasn't much else to do, since I was out of $$! But my Dad's birthday was yesterday also. :) It was a peaceful one, nothing much really went on, except that he made dinner *now, that's rare!*

And speaking of back to school (from earlier), Cincinnati Public Schools just started classes today. This is the first time that I can remember that they began on a Monday. It always used to be on a Tuesday when they began. When I was elementary, we started school the Tuesday after Labor Day. Now they begin about a week earlier than that.

Well, that's enough random stuff for now. I'm about to pack up and leave work. I'm glad that summer classes are over, so now all I really have to do is make sure that I get up early enough to make it to work on time.

In memory of a fallen angel:

Here's what I said on insane group babble:
When I woke up early Sunday afternoon, my Mom told me what happened. My jaw dropped. I didn't really believe what she said, it almost didn't seem like it was real. It goes to show you that our lives can be easily taken away from us, so we must live it to ea the fullest every day. Rest in peace Aaliyah.

Here's an article on the BET website.

Also, here is the lyrics to one of my fav songs by her.

On again, off again. I scheduled another service call for Saturday afternoon, I wanted to get one for that morning but they were booked up. I still might have some time to go out Saturday afternoon to the mall to find some clothes hopfully. But I'm pretty sure that it's gonna be crowded, since the elementary and high school students will start classes on Monday. And I can't go out on Sunday, it will be my Dad's birthday. Now that I think about it, my friends b-day is on Saturday! I better give her a call or stop by to visit her! Been busy this summer, it's been difficult to catch up with anyone lately. Things should let up a bit because this is my last day of Psych class and I get to get some more hours in at work for the next few weeks before I resume with full-time classes! :D

I finally got Road Runner working properly again. I was able to get in contact with the online tech support chat *while I had the opportunity this morning* and they told me what to do to fix the connection: completely unplug the modem power. I'm gonna cross my fingers and hope that the connection is up and running when I get home today. But for now, I have a Psych final to be concerned with. I got an 82% on my last exam- I had a good feeling when I got finished with the test in less than 30 minutes. Hopefully I can repeat that same grade, or maybe get a better one! I'll have to pretty much cram the rest of the day in order to get enough study time in. But that's gonna be hard though; Smackdown is gonna be on tonight, and I always happen to miss the first or the last 30 minutes of the show. Decisions, decisions. But in other good news, I finally got my test background working. Look!

Note to self: stop loading 88x33 buttons on page. They're not working again, unless I can't link through msn communities. *grumbles*

Here are some pics of Tangeman being demolished.

Haven't been able to get online all weekend, except for the one time that my cable modem was working, and I checked my email. I'm definately calling that Tech Support hotline as soon as I get home today. But for now, I'll be posting blogs from work or in one of the computer labs on campus. Ugh. On a good note, I did join a blog group today. Click here to check it out.

I had to call Road Runner Tech Support when I got home today. Now I've been scheduled for a service call for tomorrow morning. Hopefully they can fix this blasted cable modem. Right now I'm using the remote access dial-up service that UC offers to its students. It's running hella slow. I got used to the cable modem loading everything so quickly, that it is hard to be patient when a page is loading on a dial up server.
