message, and i had NO IDEA what the heck it was about.

i was editing an old post when i had the warning.

apparently, the google sitemap plug-in is causing the problem? so i’ve switched off the automatic updates — let’s see if it works.

// update: ooh, it did work. strange.

// yes, the archives don’t show "jan 08" — because there’s only one post which is on the front page anyway. i’m using the jan 08 post as a front page static post ^^.

// this is the slightly discombobulated way my mind tends to work…

I love WordPress, but I love Blogspot’s user-friendliness too.

I will think of what to do with this site, in the (hopefully not TOO distant) future.

I’ll be publicly ranting & rambling at a new place from time to time: vs 2.0: Jess’s Rants.

Yes, I’m very mad. Yes, I have quite a few websites.

Yes, I still like WordPress, but since I’ve my blogspot blogs all under the same dashboard, it’s just more convenient. The wysiwyg editor isn’t working here either, and frankly I’m too indolent to troubleshoot OR work solely on code, which was ironically my main reason for installing WordPress anyway!

I may remove “vs 2.0: Jess’s Rants” from my public blogger profile…haven’t decided on that yet, heh. I’ll basically be ranting and trying out new stuff for Dragonsinn over there.

Everytime I say to myself, “I think we’re journalling (handwritten) WAY too much, quit it for a few days”, it always ends up backfiring somehow. Oh well.

PS: Wow, Oasis. I like Definitely Maybe + Be Here Now best.

Have things to write and books to read.

You know (or WILL know) where to find me.

Here is Julie Black Belt which my sis, Charlene Chua, illustrated most engagingly.

Now look at that cover, man. I know you shouldn’t “judge a book by its cover”, but seriously I think it’s quite a natural thing to do…^^.

Sigh, I love this picture so much. No one seems to know who the artist is!

As usual, there’s something not-quite-so-right with my WordPress interface after some customization. My visual editor is not showing so I have to type on code all the time, which I suppose can be a good thing because I *did* want to try WordPress out to get a little better with some coding in the first place.

I’ve a few more pictures on Tattoos Page 1. It’s quite hard to find quality photos of a specific subject, with the accompanying information, lol.

These days, my dad is fixing up the garage. He’s converting part of it into a “wood workshop” for his audio equipment so I’m there for most of the day (a few hours anyway). It’s pretty fun but we tend to need a lot of food, fast.

Ok, sorry this post is so disjointed but look at Adriana Lima, man. She could advertise anything and I’d buy it.

PS: I got some VS undies at a discount; wanted to see how their products are like. The V-string is greeeeaaaaaat. It just sits there=comfortable.

I’ll go find some hot guy pictures next time round XD.

I finished Mr. Ernest Hemingway’s ‘The Old Man and The Sea’. At first I was ready to tear my hair out because of the slow pace, but in the end it was all worth it.

I’m currently sending my complete manuscript out to literary agents (printing the whole thing manually is.very.tiring). I’ve a bunch of books to finish reading, and a whole lot more should be arriving this week from Amazon or Half.com. I’ve gotten both very good books and not so very good books, so that I can learn from both sides.

On the list are George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ and ‘1984′, along with William Faulkner’s ‘The Sound and The Fury’, which I suspect I’m going to enjoy very much. I think I also ordered ‘Catcher in the Rye’. Those would belong in the very good books cateogory :).

You’re English Majors?!

To modify a Wordpress theme is very troublesome. I really wonder what it must be like building one from scratch. At least I’ve improved with reading the style.css sheet (HAHA). Pardon the little glitches here and there, I tried to make sure 95%+ was in order.

I finally got to Act 1, Scene V of King Lear.

I can’t remember my flickr password. Another day, lol.
