Doing Something New

Hello Reader(s)!

Thank you to all those who have given me comments, advice and help with figuring out some of the script. I’m still having a few problems figuring out how to style some of the page layouts, so if anyone who reads this knows how to code CSS, and PHP in WordPress, please let me know! I have lots of questions! In the mean time I’ll keep having fun staying up all night trying to beat it into line.

As fun as it has been getting this sorted out, I somehow lost track of time during the holidays as usual. Now that there is only a few days left, I find that I have not done any of the extra reading, starting the research for the next lot of essays or even studying for my test on the first day back, that I always tell myself I will spend the holiday doing. Not to worry! There’s still 4 days to go, I’m sure I’ll get it all done somehow. Probably on Sunday night while watching Top Gear or some such.

So other than the coding, I haven’t really been up to much worthy of writing about in the last few days. I’ve just been at home being lazy. It’s been nice having the house almost to myself for the last few days. Well, as much to ‘myself’ as is possible with the people working down in the office during the day, and my friend Alex who has been staying here in the evenings. He works most of the day so I mostly get the house to myself. Oh, and the very old dog who stumbles around the house falling over when she stops in one place for to long. Poor old thing gets very confused when the parents are away for too long.

Today however I did something very out of the ordinary! I made desserts! Well, a friend who’s been to cooking school came round and taught me how to make some desserts. Luckily seeing as nobody else is around I get to eat them all too! I’m not sure if I’ll die in a diabetic coma from the sugar in the ‘Hokey poky biscuit  based, crunchie bar filled cheese cake, or from the 4 cups of white chocolate and cointreau mousse. I guess if I eat them all I can’t really blame either one or the other. I’m sure now that I have told the world about my creations that I’m going to find a few more friends dropping around tomorrow for a casual and completely coincidental visit, aren’t I?

So having invested all this effort into my weight gain dessert program, dinner has fallen by the wayside, it now consists of well microwaved left over McDonald’s. The stable diet of lazy students everywhere no doubt! Now that all the hard work for the day is out of the way, the difficult decision of what to do for the rest of the evening is all that remains. The following options are all equally unexciting; Keep watching TV in the hopes that the next show will be exciting and interesting. Play Need for Speed: Pro-Street on the Playstation3 (I’m really crap at it, so it’s not as fun as it sounds – last night I had to stop racing, I was spending more on repairing my car than we were actually winning in any of the races. Alex said it was time for me to retire).  or lastly Keep hammering away at this web-page until morning or until when I am satisfied it is finished….

For now I think I’ll stick with the TV, remote controls are too far away to switch to the PS3 anyway. Besides, watching ‘Chuck’ has got to be better than watching ‘Lost’, which I haven’t understood since the polar bear incident. Did anyone else watch ‘Lost’ tonight? I think they just broke the space time continuum and then defecated all over its remains. I’d love to see how they confuse their way out of this one!

Well, I think I’ll sign off and go check on the chilling desserts! Foodgasm! I’ll post some photos later just to show you all the face of my killers.  If seen they should be approached with caution and considered very dangerous.

Later folks.
