Last night I got carried away revising The Discount Diva, and I knew it, I was going to have to pay for it by starting my day late today. I just woke up.
I sat at my computer at 9PM last night thinking the current template needs to go. Common sense told me that I should wait until today to revise it, but that little voice in my head won (the same little voice that told me to delete fraudprotection - and I clicked delete with my eyes closed - all that missed revenue.....) and I started fiddling around with it. And when I'm tired, I screw things up quite a bit. Two hours later, I made a big mess. Columns were not aligning. Fonts gone all wonky. What's with all the bright colors? Did I just do that? How can you sleep after that? So at 6 in the morning I managed to fix the outer shell. It actually looks great I think. I still have to fix the individual post pages, but that's next on my agenda after I finish my morning personal post. God, I hate deviating from my to-do list.
I now have my Personal Google Homepage all personalized. I've got the RSS and News feeds to what's hot in all the topics that are related to my websites. And I check it every 30 minutes to see what's breaking. Last night, one site ran a release on an upcoming tv show. I caught it within the first 10 minutes. But they ran the wrong date - September 10th. Isnt that past? I was itching to write an article about it for Crazy Generation since no one else has written about it yet. I sent the editors an email. Still no response. Everyone's probably got their paws on it already.
My writing is definitely getting better. My article about Penelope Cruz at The Designer Diva has been picked up by several well known entertainment columns. Love all the new visitors that it generated. I wrote another "celebrity fashion" article - Bling H20 Is More Than Just A Pretty Face, But Would You Pay For a Bottle? - and I hope that will also get picked up by their feeds.
Lem's newest passion is the Ultimate Wrestling Championships and the WWE. At least it gives me a break from Stargate and Battlestar Galactica. I was half watching his TNA wrestling with one eye on my computer and the other eye keeping up with the fight. He's talking about getting tickets if they are ever in town. I hope these folks do not come out with DVD sets because Lem will be out in a flash to get his own copies and watch them over and over again. Did I tell you that one thing that I can't really stand are re-runs?
I took a breather at 3AM and we went out to pick up our usual junk food. Burger King Late Night Drive Thru will never be the same. I ordered my usual - Burger King Jr - with Bacon. I cant believe I've been missing out all this time! I wish I ordered two....
I am a newsletter junkie. I just cant help myself. I visit a website. I like the stuff they write about. I subscribe to the newsletter. I have my outlook set up to file all my newsletters under a To Read folder. This morning, it filed 395 newsletters in the last week. Not to mention that I still have about 10,000 other newsletters to read from the previous months. How can I keep up? ?
