Well, happy 4th kids! I actually had a little fun today, it was rather refreshing. I had to work, which wasn’t much of a big deal since no one came into the store anyways, Chip stopped by and then came over after work. My folks did some steaks on the grill, mashed potatoes, etc, and then Chip and I watched Snatch and Dogma on DVD. After that, I checked my email and found a letter from both Chris and Nick. Chris was letting me know some info about the Winamp 3 skinning system and Nick was bored at work up in Alaska and dropped a line to say hi. I appreciated both. It’s great to hear from friends. In other news, Seb Fontaine, world renowned DJ is playing at Axis tomorrow night, Chris and I are going to try and check that out. Then, Friday night, Darren Emerson steps up to the decks at Axis as well. Besides that stuff, I was working on some more graphics, resting a little and playing Bejeweled. I’ve also got to remember to go out shooting some photos this weekend. I’ve got a commission I should be working on and a side project of my own. Ok, it’s probably time for bed; I should rest up for the show tomorrow. Night. Later.

Gotta keep this quick. Gotta get up in 6 hours for work. Lets see. Working in 6 hours, bad. New DVDs, good. Skinning WinAmp 3 with Chris, very good. Having the weekend off, good. Using my weekend to see Darren Emerson, very good. Finding out that Seb Fontaine is coming tomorrow, FREAKING AWESOME. Working on the 4th, not so good. Co-worker, idiots. Blogging with no sleep, interesting. Missing girl-friend, depressing. Seeing two great shows in a row, feeling better. Ok, I must sleep now. Later.

Well, since its technically Tuesday, I can officially say… HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHIP!!!! That’s right, our very own Charles L.S. Marshall has been on this chunk of rock we call earth for twenty years now and we’re glad he’s here. Chip, since no one seems to know your cell phone number, stop by the shop or give me a call tomorrow, or leave me your cell number and we’ll see what we can do tomorrow after I get off work. We’ve simply got to do something to celebrate. I’ve had enough shitty birthdays to know that I’m not going to let one of my good friends have one as well. Cheers Chip! Later.
PS: Guess what Chip… its your birthday!

Ok, I promised, so here it is. I’ve been working on a new set of header graphics and graphics layout for the site. I was inspired by many of the winamp skins that I have a large collection of, as many of you know. Is 75 skins to many? No, really. So, I’ve been whipping up some cool graphics that will merge the header and side column and add graphical links to the sides. I’m also working on a new layout in general. I have a tendency to generate the layout AS I’m working on the graphics, that way everything fits. Oh well, it’s still a little way off but it’ll get there. Anyway, here’s a sneak peak. It’s been watermarked for various reasons, mostly because a large section is still undone and very stealable. But we hope that won’t happen. Ok, more to come, but it’s dinner time first. Later.

Flipping through the channels last night I came across “Fatal Fury” the anime on the SciFi channel. It’s frightening how much you can lose through translation and editing. Now, I’ve seen the original movie, in japanese, with subtitles, unedited and last night I thought I was watching a different movie. I’m not sure who edited that copy, but it was complete crap. Ok, I’ll leave that alone, what should I expect for 2am, right? As for today, I think I’m going to head down to the hair salon and get a trim, then I’ve got to return a pair of dress pants to the mall since I got the wrong size. Aight, I’m gonna go get in the shower, I’ll probably let you guys in on my graphics thingy this afternoon, most of you have already seen it, so why not? Ok, I’ll be back. Later.
