Inane Ramblings, Insane Scramblings

[tinhuviel]

I'm sworn off television news for the duration of their showing images of oil-soaked animals dying in amongst balls of tar. I can't bear to see it. It makes me want to throttle every last human being on Earth. If it weren't for our greed, and I say our greed because I drive a car too, this would never have happened. I wish I were in better health. I'd volunteer to go down to the Gulf of Mexico and help the rescue effort for these poor creatures. I'd go armed with a barrel of Dawn strapped to my back.

MS Publisher has fixed it to where you can't alter their HTML before uploading to your host. What you have is what you've got, whether it's what you want or not. This does not amuse me because I used to go in and diddle with the code before ever publishing. As a result of that revelation, posting a simple front page turned out to be a fiasco that made me look like the dumbass I am when it comes to webular publishings (Webular is a Barry word, I can't take credit). Other than MS dicking with what little mind I have left, I also am agonising over the fact that I can't just type in www.vampirerelics.com and go straight to the front page. I get a 403 Verboten page instead. So, that said, if anyone wants to eyeball the site, you must type in this: http://www.vampirerelics.com/index. Voila! Cadmus and the gang will pop up and say howdy, but only in IE Explorer right now. I've already gotten word that the page might have difficulties in Firefox, probably a side effect of MS Publisher being fretful and possessive. GAH! I must give super-special props to xevokitty, who's been putting up with my rampant stupidity for nigh on to two weeks. Still, she endures, offering insights and tweaks of support. I'd be floundering about like a fish out of water if it weren't for her.

I'm currently rocking out to Lady GaGa. I love her. I've noticed that a lot of folks in my generation adore her, but many in the younger gens can't stand her. I chalk this up to the fact that Lady GaGa is making music eerily similar to the tuneage from the 80s. Everything is in a 20-year cycle (or 19, I guess I should say), so it stands to reason that a lot of the music of today sounds a lot like the music from the late 80s and early 90s, auto-tune notwithstanding. I saw an interview with Cyndi Lauper where she made the comment that we needed artists like Lady GaGa. I couldn't agree more.

Ah, and I finally saw Alice in Wonderland. Johnny Depp was always his wonderful selves in this and the soundtrack was sublime. Mad Hatter still spooks me, but kind of in a good way. I'm happy to announce that I will not be writing Hatter fanfiction. And a communal sigh of relief can be heard around the world.

"Despite Dense Weed" just came on iTunes. Time for me to go hide in a corner and shiver.

I want to cry when they show scenes of the poor animals! It's so sick and sad. And I like Lady GagGa!

Yeah the recent events concerning the animals makes me sad too.
A friend of mine took this picture two years ago at Pensacola Beach (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2393/2457394296_693fb20367.jpg), and it makes me long to go back to that.

And YES to Lady GaGa! I read somewhere she was being compared to the Madonna for this generation. And that is very awesome! :D
