KitKat's Diary: January
January 2nd, 2000
Whoa isn't that cool? <hee hee> Looks like we made it (as the song goes). :) Spent the week-end at my parents' playing on my Playstation with Ricky. We stayed up until 3:30am playing Final Fantasy V ushuring the new year. I even partook of the bubbly stuff just cause of the occasion. :) Ricky and I stayed up again until 3:30am playing the same game. :) Now the Playstation is hooked up at my place calling my name (as I type) to come and play. I think I will tomorrow after my bath since I am waiting for Sears to call me about my sound card. I also have to clean up my place the best I can since it looks like a tornadoe has hit it. <grin> I also have e-mail to catch up as well. It may be 2000, but it's also business as usuale... :)
January 3rd, 2000
Looks like I fianlly got my counter centered properly on my index page. :) Yes, I did start my counter over cause I thought Jan 1, 2000 would be a great date to start over again. :) I'm still waiting for Sears to call me about my sound card, but it could take them 4 business days until I hear from them. <oh well> On a completely different note... I baked my first chicken! okay it was only a breast, but I baked it nonetheless! Mom thinks I'm not getting enough "real" food, and since I like chicken anyways... :) Not too bad! Next month I'll try my hand at porkchops.
January 4th, 2000
Good news everybody! I got a call from a tech telling me they found my part, and a tech by the name of James Carter (hmmm... I wonder if he gets kidded about being called Jimmy Carter) should be here around 2 to 3pm tomorrow. I sure hope he will be able to get this fixed for me. I need my music and sounds. <sighs> I hope I do not forget to ask about the USB ports, and I hope Dad will be here tomorrow as well. Anyway, I'm signing back on to the BCR mailing list to see if they can help me find more pics of the BCR for my page on them. It's worth a try!
January 5th, 2000
Great... I got the annoying cough that makes me feel like I'm hacking up a lung. :/ Anyway, the Sears tech rep will be here later this afternoon. Looks like Dad won't be able to make it, so I'm on my own to remember everything. I think I can do it. :) I just hope that my sound comes back to my computer and I can use my Japanese lanuage learning software that Lisa got for me for Christmas. I'll let everyone know tomorrow (or perhaps my pointy eared roomie will inform everyone tonight) if all goes well, and if i got my sounds and USB ports working.
January 6th, 2000
Whoa momma! I'm sure you've been already told that I got my sound back, but guess what I found out this morning? I can now hear the music when I play PM2!!!!!! Oh happy day! As some of you know whenever i play this game before there was no sound, and i could not figure out how to fix it. Looks like what I needed was a new sound card. <g> Now I have a new urge to play with my daughter Marissa. :) I've also been making some adjustments to my site (making everything look neater and more aligned. I keep asking my cosuin Ricky to send those pics form Christmas Eve over here, so I can put thme up in my family section. I know he is busy with his scholl stuff, but I have to ask since right now I do not have my own digital camera. Maybe that should be on my list to things to get this year???
January 7th, 2000
Well as you can see, I have my index page settled in for Winter. :) I love having visitors to my site, and my counter shows it. :) Still no pics from Eicky. :/ <sigh> Well in the mean time I'll up date what I can. I think the next place to update will be to put some text to my Princess Maker 3 page. :) Who knows? Maybe I'll fianlly get off my virtual butt and finish my Cube story?
January 8th, 2000
Whoo hoo I got a pic of the BCR ('76) from a a fellow fan by the anme of Tracy. One I finish here I plan on putting that where my Eric pic is. I mean it's a Bay City Roller page, so why not have a group pic? :) Also at 5pm is the big Antpeople chat on Yahoo. I was not there last week cause of new Year's, but I plan on being there today. :) I probably need to go make me something to eat before the chat beings...
January 9th, 2000
Looks like the Dallas Cowboys won't be making it the Superbowl XXXIV. Well there's always next season. :) Ricky came over for a few hours today, and even brough me a Sonic burger. We spent most of the day playing Final Fantasy V, and we are still no where near the ending just yet. :) Then we watched TV until my parents came over to pick him up. Mom was kind of hoping that I got him to take down my Christmas tree, but that's not why I asked him to come over. Here's hoping though the tree is taken down later this week sometime. :)
January 10th, 2000
Spent some quality time with Mom and Dad today. I even got to see Lisa and Mia for a little bit today as well. :) I know I should be here updating my page and improving my Princess Maker 3 page, but all work and no play makes KitKat go bonkers. I have loads of e-mails to answer, and I need to get to a few of those before going to bed for the night. Just your basic Monday where nothing really got done, but that's not always a bad thing type of day. :)
January 11th, 2000
I'm going to try and actually do something in here today. I may fiddle with my PM3 page. I may even try and clean up my IWCWR page a little. I'm still hoping to get me some mroe RAM soon, so I can start running PageMill. That's when the fun will begin, and maybe my creative juiices will start to flow once again. Perhaps I have the dreaded mid month blahs. Then again I might end up playing games...
January 12th, 2000
Well if you have not read the January 11th insallment of Cube's Diary go there and read about my almost encounter with a guy named Michael. I called the office and talked to Diane and she told me that no one has moved in here a sof late. She also said I did the right thing, and if it ever happens again for me to look through my peep hole to get a look at him and to also call her. Let's just hope and pray that it does not happen again. <shudder> Ricky fianlly sent me those pics of some more of my family yesterday, and the pics (without captions) are on my family page. Those were taken during Christmas Eve. I will be working on my family page as the days progress.
January 13th, 2000
Good evening everyone! Yesterday afternoon I went over to my sister's place, and spent some quality time with her and Mia. We all had a blast! :) I helped watch Mia while Lisa was able to get some house work done around her place. :) Mia and I watch Rugrats as well as other neat programs. I also got the chance to scan some pics into Lisa's scanner for the web site. I'm gonna have "Cube's Holiday Page" coming in the next week or so. I also plan on (hopefully) scanning some of my BCR pics that I took back in '93 when I saw them in Philly with Erica and company. I don't know when this will take place, but I hope it won't be too long. I finally got the hang of scanning and cropping and what not. :) Yes, a wonderful and productive time was had by all. :)
January 14th, 2000
I finally updated my family site. I had the pics up there for a few days, but now they have captions. Now you know who they are. :) I think next week I'll work on Cube's page a bit as well as fianlly type something in my PM3 section. <BG> Anyway, time to go update my index page! :)
January 15th - 18th, 2000
Spent most of my week-end at my parents and I was also sick most of that time as well. I wasn't he only one sick over there. Dad and Mom also had it as well. I hardly got any sleep, and whenever I laid down I could barely breath. <uhg> Anyway, I'm back home trying to figure out this Adobe PageMill. I hope getting this a few weeks ago does not bite me on the butt. I really should be in bed cuddling up to my Cube doll, but dag nabbit i want this puppy to work! More about it tomorrow.
January 19th, 2000
Well after getting a massive headache that only a Psyduck would love, I decided it was best if i stuck to 1. what I do know and 2. maybe exchange it for Front Page (98 or 2000). I corrected all my mistakes and goof ups this moringing, so hopefully everything is back to (abby)normal and I can get back to improving my pages (PM3 anyone? <g>) Chalk this one up to a learning experience.
January 31st, 2000
Well it does not look as if snerf will coming back anytime too soon. But that's okay cause I'm fianlly getting the hang of Tripod ( the place I started in late 98, but got confussed and left). At least they let you use Front Page Express, and that's big plus for me. :) Looks like I won't be albe to exchange it, but I'll chalk that up to a learning experience. <sigh> really not too much has been going on with me. I'm just spending my time at my parents' and doing the usuale stuff. Well I am glad that i have a temporary place for my web needs until 1. snerf gets back up or 2. i find another place with no adverts or pop ups. :)
