Playing Catch-up (with bonus video)

I've been working somewhat hardish to finish the redesigns of all the other blogs I have linked to this thing, which has proven to be a bit more difficult than it should be.

However, the time is nearly here and hopefully all things will go smoothly, including some new Internet Explorer fixes that I'll give a go. If they don't work this time, I'm telling everyone to fuck off with that IE6 bullshit. I am not going to be nice about it.

But while you're here, I'll give you a bit of catch up...

Roller Baby

My wonderfully adorable son, Nolan has finally begun rolling around on his own, much to the horror of his already exhausted and not-so-alert parents. He tends to roll onto his side when he gets sleepy, but now he occasionally rolls to far, which then perplexes and upsets him. He's getting a bit more used to it. The next step? Rolling back.

I Hate The New Facebook

With no option to go back to the old style, Facebook users have been stuck with a new, and immediately distasteful new design. It's not that I think the new design is terrible per se. It's just that the mini-feed has been integrated with the wall posts, and I can't organize my (very few) applications the way I want them. I mean, thanks Facebook, for the obligatory 'Boxes' tab that no one bothers with.

I Watched A REAL Movie

I finally saw The Dark Knight! It was killing me that I hadn't been to see it, and now it's officially the very first movie that I've ever seen alone in a movie theater. In the west, for the most part, you're seen as a loser if you see movies on your own. Here, in Japan, people's schedules are all sorts of messed up, making the outing - if you can afford the nearly US $20 price tag - much more acceptable. Full review to come during the week.

Blogger Did Something Funny To My Blog

The last time I posted something serious, my blog looked great - except in IE6, but that shit's shit. When I cam back to it a while later, the posts were all coming up at the bottom of the page. I combed my HTML, but not being a complete master, I missed the little code that wasn't there before. The little code that sent it all down there. Thanks to a guy named T E D, I could fix everything up, good as new - except in IE6, but that shit's shit.

Rearranging

On Thursday, my wife and I spent almost seven hours rearranging our front room into an all-around hang-out room. My workspace and our TV and other creature comforts have been put in here, making our old living room into more of a family/guest room. Despite some early moaning from me, it's actually turned out quite nice. However, my muscles sing quite a different tune.

Sexy Disgustingness

I'm once again published in the free English Magazine, Kansai Scene. My artwork is for a piece on Japan's Ero-Guro (Erotic-Grotesque) culture, and is based on Rashoomon (Yes, there ARE two 'Os' there). For now, you can see it on the Kansai Scene website. That is, until my portfolio redesign goes through.

I Just Finished Cutting My Nails

Ahhh...
