Whole New Me

September 6, 2005

Well, whole new webpage anyway. I upgraded to Movable Type 3.2 last week and man, I think it’s the first time I’ve upgraded it without feeling like I’m adding more bloat to the page. Everything worked, I was able to get a bunch of nifty plugins (check the sidebars for the pudding-proof) and actually get those to work, which wasn’t always the case before. I’m back to an out of the box design though, because I am way past the point where I’m egotistical enough to think I can design a page that looks any good at all.

Anyway, random list of stuff that’s been occupying my time:

• Arthurfest - This was probably the least organized, most homegrown feeling rock festival I’ve gone to. There wasn’t enough food/water stands and the sound was pretty crappy, but the Black Keys and Sleater-Kinney were crazy awesome, as usual.
• Extras – hohoho. I finished off the rest of the series and it’s the funniest comedy I’ve seen this year. Not saying much, obviously. Kate Winslet’s phone sex escapades are worth subscribing to HBO for.
• Rockstar INXS – I keep watching this every week even though I don’t like INXS much and I think the whole thing is sort of a horrible joke setup by Gary Cherone so that he’s not the worst replacement frontman in the history of rock.
• Urban Dead – This is one of those text games that probably shouldn’t be as good as you would think. I like playing it because the idea of being a survivor in a zombie apocalypse is enticing. The end of the world being scheduled for later this month, the way things are going these days.
• My Horrible T-Shirt Addiction – this one and this one and this one and this one. Oddly I keep seeing people wearing all the other t-shirts from the internet, but never the ones I buy. I must have terrible taste in these things.
