Last night I was thinking to myself and I realized that I was also simultaneously spelling and typing what I was thinking. Has the internet become such an ingrained part of my life? I know sometimes I wish I could Ctrl + F to find things, like at the grocery market or in my closet. Ctrl + F “chicken soup” please!
I also recently joined a modeling and photography website. Rob was browsing it and saw that they had added a new user category called “Photoshop Wizard” and he suggested that I join. I’ve got about 5 pieces of work on there at the moment. I’m not sure if non members can view the photos or not. It’s just another avenue for networking.
I also made a new layout for my myspace page. I really love that color scheme.
I’m making mom a card for her birthday, I hope she likes it. I think it looks pretty darn cute. 
Today started with suck. I woke up depressed and didn’t get out of that funk for a while. My mom called and I sort of broke down about not having a job and my parent’s health insurance running out on me. She said I need to make a pest of myself, emailing the HR department directly about a week after filling out an online application. I’m just not good at that. I think I should be able to get a job on my merits rather than being the person who badgers them to give me a job. But, usually the people who go after things get what they want. I guess I’m not ambitious enough.
I took a look at my kimono collection and my gothic lolita clothes to see what I’d be willing to part with. There’s two, maybe three, kimono and one dress that could I bear selling. The kimono won’t sell for very much, but I could get a nice sum for the dress. If it comes to it, I can sell more valuable parts of my collection. Luckily kimono and lolita clothes don’t loose much value on the resale market.
Anyway, I’ve got to find something for my mom for both Mother’s day and her birthday. I have no clue what to get her. I think I’m going to check out Etsy because there’s always artsy and funky stuff there. Of course that doesn’t necessarily narrow it down, but it’s a start.
I’ve also updated Eelpoutart with a new-ish layout and some new items. I used me some PHP in that there navigation. I think I really need to sit my butt down and learn PHP. I learned CSS and HTML all by myself, so why not PHP as well?
I was having issues with not all of the smilies showing up in the commenting bar, so I re-uploaded the file that contains that code - just in case it was corrupted or something. But no, it throws up a “What you did? File no work!” error message. I soon realize that for some unknown reason all my work updating Wordpress was for naught and it had reverted to an earlier version. Re-uploaded the files then prompted to update the database. I though “Ooohhh nooo… I better back this up, I don’t want it to mess up anymore.” Backed up, updated database, go to check out my files and what do I find? New categories that I hadn’t created, missing categories, and duplicate categories. Fun times. Got all that sorted out and hopefully everything is back to normal. This is what, the 5th issue I’ve had with Wordpress since the damned server moving? And the server is going to change YET AGAIN sometime soon. Ugh… 
At least I might be able to start doing sponsored posts again. There are more options now, even if some of them are really sucky.
