I installed DirWrap to use on my sketchbook directory~~ It's now looking better than ever before, but I wonder if it's comfortable and/or easy to browse through the files listed in that fashion. I modified the script quite heavily, by the way... I should be proud, since that was extensive programming I did; unfortunately it isn't gonna be in any of my exams, so blah :P

Duuude, I'm making countless improvements to my site -- apart from revamps, I've never spent so much time on my site before. Behold the power of procrastination :P This time, I added a wallpapers section XP;

Anyway, I can't wait to see The Matrix: Revolutions. I mean, I CAN NOT WAIT. I would like to hear what Mr.-Like-Wiping-My-Ass-With-Silk has got to say next -- I love that guy's uber-wise words. Just a random thought for the day.

Cousin bought Spirited Away DVD. DVD bad. Exam bad. Haku good =3 Pocky good too =3 =3

Hmmm... I feel the need to write something a bit more intelligible about the post above, so here we go.

So my cousin, who lives with me, along with her sister and my brother, bought the Spirited Away DVD yesterday. I was powerless to resist the awesome thing, so I watched it just now~ Being a DVD, it's got language selection stuff.. thus I finally got to see Spirited Away in Japanese(with English subtitles, of course)! I liked the English version (after all, Disney did the voiceover, and boy people there are nothing less than experts), but the Japanese version is so much better. I somehow liked Haku's English voice better though... go figure :P

About Pocky... I decided to give these cute sweet sticks another go, after stumbling upon this site owned by (apparently) a Pocky fanatic. It lists all kinds of Pocky there is, and I was stunned to realize there were so many different varieties. I think I was overexposed to the original --regular chocolate Pocky-- when I was a little kid, which would explain my Pocky ignorance :P Interested and appalled, I bought the non-normal kinds of Pocky available in the local Asian grocery store, namely the Mousse Strawberry and Mousse Black and Coffee Pocky. Boy are they delicious :9~~ Now I have a whole new perspective... on Pocky! XD; I want to try the Almond ones...

Holy crap, this has got to be one of the coldest mornings so far this year @_@;;; I woke up at like 5 AM because it was too cold, even though I had my heater on. I put on an extra layer of clothes on top of my pyjamas, but couldn't go to sleep again TT; Too cold... it's been raining since a couple of hours ago, and weather forecast says there's chance of thunder and snow showers... ugg.

Forgot to post about yesterday's practical Software Development exam~ It was okay, I guess. Not hard, but simply too long for any sane person to finish in the allocated time frame. There were three questions, and the last one, where you're supposed to debug a program, is like... O_O; There's got to be approximately 3098523 bugs in that program, I tell you. I spent a good hour fixing a problem, testing it, writing what sort of bug I was fixing, and then back to fixing another problem... and this went on and on and on. I think each line of the program is faulty or something -_-;

The first question was about writing shell scripts~ Only after I semi-finished the question did I realize that my experience installing CGI/Perl programs for my website and modifying them heavily (I mean.. I nearly rewrote half of DirWrap and the guestbook) helped. Probably not a lot, but at least I'm rather familiar to that sort of programming. I now have no reason to diss my pastime activities ^^ Or anyone else's, for that matter. As long as one can learn from them, heh XD;

By the way, I noticed that the timestamps for the recent journal entries are off~~ I have no idea why *_*; They're approximately one and a half hour earlier than they ought to be... probably a problem with the timezone difference between where RydiaNet server is and here~ Oh well ^^;;

Finished reading HP5, and of all 768 pages I read (in one sitting... gawdunnit I need to sleep), I've got this one thing to say: why does it have to be HIM?!?!??!

I mean.... no... please... not him... ><;;;
