Red Ring of Death

I think we just lost it.

Our ability to stay sane in a moment of crisis just got thrown out of the window because… we just bought A NEW XBOX TO REPLACE THE OLD ONE IN LESS THAN AN HOUR APART.WTF.
First the Red Ring of Death had to happen. In BOB (Brothers of the Box)-speak that means your xbox just went ape-shit and 99.99% chances are you won’t be able to continue on your pirate quest in The Secret of Monkey Island.

Next come the frustration, hair pulling and other assorted groveling by the TV console while the husband insists on his mcGuyer-y rescue mission for the 15379,9812th time.

After a couple of unsuccessful tweaking followed by ten or twenty violent hammering using the base of the screw driver, I just had to say it :

“Hausbern, let’s go get a new one” (In all seriousness, too, if I may add.)

So there we went, holding hands and merrily skipping away to JP. In the act of complete ignorance, we went up to gadget store and coyly asked the attendant if the latest version comes with the ‘Jasper’ unit. In less than a second, we walked out of the store with a nifty little plastic bag.

The impact hit us much much later. We just bloddy forked out $339 without a moments’ pause; as if the XBOX is a precious commodity that requires immediate replacement upon extensive wear - like how you would a fridge or a washing machine.

Even Meep’s sleep wasn’t interrupted. He woke up to the usual sound of the video game sound blaring and simply plonk himself next to the speaker unit.

why art thou breaking my heart, o sweet blogger ?? WHHYYY ?

Our Latest 5am Projekt

Its funny how we were so eager to start off our own website. We registered for a webhost server without even thinking whats the domain name's gonna be.
Spent endless nights awake thinking of the template, playing around with flash em-mex, figuring out how this shit thing works. Once the entire user-friendly navigational concept and easy-to-the-eyes colour scheme has been firmly established (yeah right, basically I schlepped through the entire process, putting in whichever design I already had and turning it into a website), theelvenkinks.com was ready to go.


Afterwhich, we grew half-arsed and lazy and stopped updating our blog or completing the subpages that were supposedly 'under construction'.
Basically the entire 'building a website' thing got old after um.. a week.


Until we discovered the whole movable-type thingy, something which offers far more flexibility that blogger ever could (well, for the freeware version at least) and thanks to Aidil..we now managed to figure out how to use the codes. And so we thought, hey, we shall have our own photoblog afterall, which was our initial intention anyway.
With a little bit of tweaking and mini-programming (on aidil's part) and a little bit of waiting and major complaining (on my part) our little photoblog (Our photos aint that perfect, for some, you guys might even wince but hey, we do what we do cos we love doing what we do. SO bummer for you guys.) was ready to kick some ass.

Or so we thought.

The templates (we steal them for this one, not make them) was an installation headache.
Its not that we're dumb, we're just too lazy to read the instructions. (really.)
so, be prepared for more missing buttons or buttons with missing links.

At the rate we're going..the completed website will probably be up when the contract with the webhost is due to end.

the little box in my head was churning out extra creative juices while i was designing my new template today.
and i must say, im pleased with the result. in my virgoan perfectionist little world, that is very rare.
i am so in love with stenciling now. found the purfect little website that explores the thrilling mysteries and technicalities of art and graphic design. and it has a link to another perfect little website that teaches me all i need to know about the stencilling. how lucky can anyone get ?

im so enraptured by art.

Ancient Folklore of the Venus Flytrap

ive scratched my head enough.
After mentally square-dancing around the idea of buying a domain, i thought..nah.
ill end up not fully utilizing it.


anyway, need to save up to buy the Lumix z10. Our baby. heheheheh.
Sounds corny but i only tell it like it is, honey. heh.
ill throw my creativy in the wind and shoot like a cowboy on steroids once i get my hands on it. yeeeeeha.
i. am so. goddamn psyched.
