Invaaaasion

Okay, I know I have to go study Philosophy and keep my promise to go to bed on time. But I just wanted to share this [and that's also a lame excuse to not forget about it] because it is All Things Awesome. I should make a new page listing All Things Awesome and when I get my hand on these items they will totally be part of that list!

Enough suspension.. what am I talking about? Well.. the Greatest Shoes Ever in the history of Great Shoes. And also the Greatest Adhesive Tape but I’m not so sure because hey! I’m a sucker for adhesive tape anyway.

One step, one point: Space Invader shoes! Look at that! It’s awesome. It’s better than awesome but there is no word for that, in my vocabulary. It’s just aaaawesome. And I also should say I want this slightly cheaper slightly less awesome adhesive tape.

I’ve been approved for the streetart fanlisting so I’ve been working on that today. I think it’s finished, so now all people have to do is join!. It’s all sorts of compatible and accessible. Or at least I wish to believe so. It’s rather a tough job to make a site of, say, four pages, accessible when you’re using an imagemap. Normally I wouldn’t make such a big deal out of this and skip the imagemaps. But I like imagemaps on my fanlistings and I don’t know how else to create them than in the manner I am making them now. So yeah, in the end I doubt if all my fanlistings are good to see when colourblind, or plain blind, or such things.. but then again I doubt if people with text-only browsers really want to join fanlistings? You never know though so I try my bestest [and come up with lame solutions hahaha].

That’s what it should look like. In IE my solution [i.e. font size in the footer is rediculously small] works, but in red, and in Opera that 1% solution doesn’t work at all. I guess using visibilty won’t work because then it wouldn’t show up in text-only, either, right? Or am I just being very lame and should I totally get rid of the imagemap? [I don't want to, I love it the way it is!] Keep in mind I just want to learn and try and have the best solutions for everyone!

Sick. Sleepy. Sigh.

As you might have noticed I am terrible with subject titles. I just never know what to call an entry, because in the end it’s about the content. The problem is my content goes here and there and back, so I can’t exactly name every entry a nice, fitting, title. At least most of the times I have huge difficulties.

Today I’m sick and sleepy, but I got good news anyway. One is that hopefully tomorrow I won’t be sick anymore as I plan to sleep well and sleep a lot [I slept in, slept some more, but I have terrible aches that keep me from sleeping]. Obviously I missed school today but I’m trying to make it to the music school in about half an hour. What I will be doing there is rehearse with the flutist, for our presentation on the 21st. So bear with me. Most of the times these rehearsals end up like this: me with broken skin or something along those lines, not being able to keep up with the speedymcspeedy flutist and just uberly frustrated/stressed for the presentation.

The good thing however, is that I love playing and I love playing with others even more, so it’s going to be alright. The presentation will turn out fine also because I just know the parents of the small kids [also performing, it's the school's "harp class" evening] will love it even if we make mistakes. The parents of the small kids admire what I’m doing [playing advanced pieces] and are relieved to hear what their children can acquire. Because to be honest, the pieces the small kids are playing are a earsores. Not that the pieces aren’t good, but it’s combined with the not-yet-developed techinques, bad timing, etcetera that you long for the day they can actually play. Play well, that is.

Now it looks like I’m bragging but it’s just that of the harpists performing on such an evening, I am indeed the best. Except when there are better harpists of course, but the good ones are the older ones and they don’t care for parent presentations.

Well, hey, I’m going to practice a little bit before wrapping myself [it's freezing out and I'm still sick] and leaving, so toodles!
