Last night...

I was up until 2 a.m. writing up the "About me" section of this site. Why I have to take everything so seriously I have no idea. I must have listened to my Romeo Must Die CD for hours, one of my favorites. I wasn't even going to go see the movie had Mike L. and Sherman not dragged me to the theatres, but I'll never forget the huge grin I got on my face as soon as the movie started. The minute that first song came on, chills went up my spine. I kid you not.

Mind you, not everyone liked that movie as much as I did. But you know who did? My brother. Go figure. I discovered this when I was back for Justin's wedding and hung out with him and his lawyer. That was an excellent, excellent, movie.

Morning musings...

I spoke briefly with Laurie on my way out the door this morning and couldn't help but think how cheerful that woman is and how nice it is to be around people like that. Can you imagine living with two very cheerful people? What more can one ask for I say! Honestly, I don't think I care to ever live alone. I've done it before and it has its advantages, but as long as I have as much private space as I need, living with friends is just too much fun.

Actually, come to think of it, I have lived with a whole SLEW of people since I left home, partly because I've moved around so much, and partly because I am just OLD. Here it goes and in chronological order, not including summer getaways - Tracey, Aimee, Christina, Nathan, Alison, Darlene, Steve, Michael, Steve again, a house full of strange women, my brother, Dave H.'s grandmother, Shiang-Rin, Heidi, Laurie, Gus, Vince, Felix, Ben and Erin, and now Adella. That is over 20 people and 12 moves within 10 years and holy smokes! I need to find me a husband and settle down asap!

Will somebody please just marry me?!

Cascading stuff and huh?

Gus came down to hand me some newspaper articles, so naturally I took the opportunity to ask him an HTML question. This is becoming a habit between us. I was trying to standardize my banner message and copyright text which was giving me quite a headache, so Gus introduces me to (drum rolls please) ... cascading style sheets. We talked about this for quite awhile and wow, does that open up a whole new door for us. I ended up spending way too much time going back and adjusting the pages I've already made, and I'm still not done.

Gus sent me an email later on in the afternoon which just cracked me up. He wrote:

Dear Chris,

     This may be one of the reasons why God didn't want anyone to eat
     from the Tree of Knowledge -- with all the new stuff we know, we'll
     spend so much time getting this just right! :)

Here's a little "extra" apple for you:

So I wrote back and said,

GUS YOU CAN BE SO FUNNY SOMETIMES, YOU LITTLE DEVIL YOU!

So retarded. Me I mean.
