I love my blog so much. I love the pretty colors. Took me long enough to figure out how to manipulate the templates to get those pretty colors...I want a darker type, but it'd probably take me all night to remember how to change it. I need to post more in this blogger. My intention in this blogger is to post fiction stuff or non-fiction stuff I write. Problem: I haven't been writing 'cause I've got so much tedious scary life stuff on my mind. Plus I started a new job, and they've been working me like a greyhound dog they haven't put down yet...and it's kind of a hard job, complicated job, tho of course poorly paying job. Anyway, I've had a lot on my mind. Plus I want to get a notebook computer because I cannot concentrate in the living room because my mother cannot go five seconds without calling me about something inane. Anyway, I'm going to try to save some money and see what I can do. Need approx $1500 for an Inspiron Dell 4100. I've always wanted a Dell (very good reputation) and that particular model seems to meet my needs. The sooner I get it, the better, the creative portion of my brain is dying...the portion that can actually do things and figure things out died along time go...

Anyway, long live my hope...

blogger all.
Trying to make some of the type this pale yellow color,but I want the type on the green box to be black. I can't figure out which of the font tags is for that box. Oh, bugger. It works fine.
Blogger.
Trying to change the template more.
Ya. Doing alright.
BTW, blue and green are my favorite colors.
Post AND Publish, Lola. Post AND Publish. Two blogs gone. Just gone. Two posts.

Lola does a zen breathing relaxer excercise.

Lola wishes she had zen whiskey or some sort of zen alcohol to take the edge off.
Damn. I keep publishing my posts wrong. I give up.

S T I L L W A I T I N G F O R L I V E J O U R N A L T O B E F I X E D. I'm having major withdrawals. I have to know what the 'nsync slashers are doing, even though they don't know me and I don't know them and they don't even know I know who they are. Still, it's like missing part of a soap opera. It sucks. Meanwhile, I've got dear blogger. And I can read everyone else's blogs. That's cool. I should be going to bed soon; I have to work in the morning. I don't want to, but I suppose I will. I hardly worked on any stories today. I did, however, sleep late and spend alot of time online. I cannot right now tell you what I did online (except I remember going to livejournal ALOT to see if it was available yet). Other than the livejournal stuff and email, I can't remember what I did. I taped a movie from 1972 with Michael Caine. Didn't watch it, but I taped it. It sounded really interesting: it's called Pulp and it's about a pulp writer (yeah! My kinda writer!) getting involved in some sort of criminal thing. If it has Michael Caine, you can be guaranteed it involves some sort of criminal business. Unless it's Educating Rita (great movie) and then it involves Oxford college (i think it's oxford, isn't it?) and Julie Walters. That was such a cool movie. Speaking of the great Caine, I saw Get Carter (the original movie) recently. Right night movie. I like them gangster flicks :) He is one of the best (and most diverse) actors of our time, I think. I cried when he one his oscar year before last. I think it was for a lifetime achievement, wasn't it? Suddenly I can't remember...like much in my life I'm afraid :/ Unfortunately, I remember I have to work in the morning. Oh yeah! I remember what I did online! I read a good deal of Neil Gaiman's online journal ( http://www.americangods.com ) . V. V. nice. It's so nice that he takes the time out to speak to us poor sods :)

alright that's all for tonight...still patiently awaiting livejournal's return. I don't have any money, but if they needed any I'd try to scrape up five dollars or so...

Well, I'm trying to remember the exact address of this blog, and guess what! I can't! There's no way to tell just from this and the search function's down. Perhaps when I publish it I'll be able to figure it out. Well, ain't this exciting. I decided that this is going to be more focused on my writing: perhaps I'll publish reviews and such here and my livejournal will be more of a diary. Sound peachy? Does to me. Oh, and I made the most brilliant cup of coffee today..I am so proud of myself. Now if only I could earn a decent living...

Okay, so what's been going on with me. Nothing. I found some comics I'd bought two years ago, and never read, and I read them. I discovered that they were indeed excellent comics and endeavored to look up anything I could about the artist/writer. His name's Adrian Tomile, and the link for the google search I did is above. I've looked at about four sites/articles and am pretty satisfied that I have a fair amount of info on the comics and the author. He's about three years younger than me (boo...sic...) and he's been doing this since he was in high school. I'm glad that he hasn't done so many issues of his comic ("Optic Nerve") that I can't ever catch up (well, if I don't start earning more money, I may never buy another thing again.) and he's only got two books (which are compilations of Optic Nerve, and his earlier self-published version of Optic Nerve, I think.) So, I"m good to go. I really really really, like totally (I mean really) liked this comic, so if anyone ever reads this (and lives to tell about it) pick up this book. You can order it through drawn and quarterly's website (they're the publisher, y'know.) They have a website. It's (Lola scrambles to find URL) http://www.drawnandquarterly.com (that was hard). BTW, if you find yourself without a website to visit, give my live journal a holler ( http://www.livejournal.com/users/ceruleanlobster/ ) and if you wanna, (only if you wanna, 'cause I'm not into brute force to get people to look at my websites, or anything...) take a gander at my homepage: http://www.ceruleanblue.homestead.com/Directory.html It's my site of links. Eventually, I'll have a site with my writing up, but for now it's just this. I've got alot of pages in the works, but they never seem to make it from my harddrive to any actual websites (poor things...they just can't seem to find the motivation to go.) Okay,well that's it for now. I've been playing the AI game alot for the last month, but I haven't been to the chat room all weekend. I went to Jax today (that's Jacksonville, Fl.) and it was thundering when I got back, so I watched t.v. Yesterday I just didnt' feel like talking. I worked yesterday, was off today, and work just a little tomorrow. I got my favourite comic book today, Strangers in Paradise, No. 41. I heard someone mention (on a message board) that is was ending soon...I hope it was just one of those silly teenage misperceptions/miscommunication/delusion thing. Ummm...what else. I wish I were still in college. I wish I were doing something worthwhile with my life :/ C'est tout pour aujourdui (can't remember how to spell that.), I'll write more later. :) The Cerulean we all know and love.

Oh...I'm so bad. I never update this thing. I promise I'll get better at it. I'm not working as much...so. Guess what I am doing? I'm playing the AI game! Go to http://www.cloudmakers.org to find out what the what is. The movie comes out June 29th, so the game may be solved by then. Hopefully the sites will be up for awhile later than that, though. I'm on the cloudmakers yahoogroups list, and I go to the Irc channel quite a bit. Cloudmakers will tell you how to connect to the irc channel. I'm working at The Loop==a pizza restaurant--right now. It's okay, but greater things must be around the corner. I'm studying to be a medical transcriptionist (a good fit for my english major and typing skills) but I will only really be happy once I become a full fledged writer. It's Sat. night now. As usual, I'm not doing anythign but staying at home. I'm about to go watch t.v. I'm off tomorrow and I was off today, that's good. Wow...I sound so upbeat :/ maybe I'll ahve bettr stuff to day tomorrow :)
