Ramblings of the Mildly Insane

Who needs sex? Ladies, if you’re with me on this one, discover how you, too, can ruin your sex life in only 30 days.

Right now, my favorite show is Stargate SG1. It comes back to first run shows on the 14th of July and I’m rapid with anticipating.

My fave character’s are Daniel and Vala. Vala is new to the show, this being her second season. She’s played by Claudia Black who used to be on Farscape. I never did watch that show though. And then there’s sometimes bespeceled Daniel, who’s been on the show since the first season. (He’s played by Michael Shanks, and did spend a couple seasons dead or otherwise off the show.)

This show has been on for 10 years! It’s crazy! I love it. I watch the re runs all the time, and I still don’t think I’ve seen all of them yet. I’ve looked up some spoilers for S10 and I am very VERY excited! Especially since Daniel will be making it to Atlantis and Vala will play a prominent role this season.

Oh, by the way, I’m Luka, and my blog is open for the FFAF today too!

Akismet was installed when I upgraded MI. That was less than two days and 510 spam comments ago.

Damn spammers. May your computers and software burn in the deepest, darkest, hottest parts of hell.

So, the owner and proprietor of Burning Evanescence (goddess, I need a shorter title name. >___Betty via email, I think I can manage to figure it all out. I’ll have to let you all know how it goes. (;

On another note, today is my last day of work for the school year. HORRAY! Let the vacation begin. ::gets down and boogies:: For those of you who do not know, I teach math at a high school. (Yes, yes, groan all you want.) And I’m really excited to know I have some time off. Ahhhhhh. Now, I can prepare for Blogathon in peace. Now, I just need a charity (the military kind because I’m like that) and a schtick. Hrmmm. Go on, readers of Teli! Give me your thoughts! (=

Pandora wants a new layout, but there’s just one problem, she and CSS aren’t friends. The design she’s after is a basic 2 column layout, which should be a staple in every designer’s CSS pantry.

At first, creating a 2 column layout, especially when the overall design looks intricate can seem like a daunting task, but it helps when you look at the layout in chunks instead of a whole. Discover what the main components will be. finish reading »

That little square in my sidebar has been flashing the “Rent My Blog” logo for a little too long, so I decided to do something about it.

There’s a new blog tenant I believe you’ll enjoy. I did, especially after reading The Heartwarming Story. Yes, there were tears in my eyes.

Off with you now. Go to Mel’s Babbles and enjoy.

Don’t forget to come back though…I’ll get lonely if you don’t.

(P.S. The little box with the screenshot is now located in the side column under the “spreading love.” heading.)

Good Lord in heaven, I have a lot of drafts. Some as far back as October 2004. For posterity (and hopefully future inspiration), I’m posting the working titles of each draft entry before I delete it. finish reading »

I know you’re not to blame, but I’ll sue you anyway because you should have anticipated and taken into account the stupidity of every person who would use your website before you launched it.

I’m not responsible for my own actions and I can’t be held accountable for any silly decisions I make if it’s a direct result of using your services. I really don’t care if that doesn’t make sense to you or anyone else, it makes sense to me.

A Texas 14-year-old and her mother have sued MySpace for US$30 million after she was raped by a man she met on the social networking site.

My heart feels for this girl. Rape is ugly and no woman asks for it nor should have to go through it. That aside, in the back of my mind, I keep wondering WTF[1] was this little girl’s common sense?

At 14, she should have been at home playing Dungeons and Dragons or Freeze Tag with her neighbors’ kids within eyeshot of her parents instead of socially networking herself with some dude from MySpace.

I could ramble on for a week regarding youths nowadays, but I won’t. I’ll just leave you with a few thoughts from back in my day:

• My parents told me not to talk to, accept anything from, or go anywhere with a stranger.
• My parents told me to “read the fine print” before agreeing to or doing anything. They still teach reading in school right?
• My dad and sisters kept tabs on me like I was a felon and I’m glad for it.
• My dad wasn’t my friend until I turned 22, moved out, and finished college.

Let’s call this what this is, a get rich quick scheme. It’s truly asinine and only serves to further deteriorate our legal system, but some people can’t see past the dollar signs [2].

[1] - I’ve replaced What with Where in WTF.
[2] - I’m only bothered by frivolous lawsuits because it takes time and attention away from the vital ones.
