Today (well, okay, I'm writing this on 21.4.99 only because I didn't think to have an updates page
on 14.4.99) I created my Roundhouse website. Yay. Actually, I've had my Roundhouse Ep Guide and my other sites -- Ivan, Christian, and Newsies -- up for
some time.... I just got around to making this one. Please send all feedback to
uberskatah@aol.com, or go here to contact me
without having to compose an e-mail.
March 21, 1999 and the rainbow
continues
As you have found out -- or will soon find out... depending on whether or not you've sifted
through my well-organized website (Sarcasm, btw. I'm workin' on that organization thing, really I
am!) -- I have some strange obsession with font colours. (And Ivan Dudynsky, but that's another
story altogether. Which you can hear/read here. As soon as I put that page up.)
Don't ask me why... but my particular faves are this shade of blue and this shade of purple.
Because of this, you will be seeing those colours EVERYWHERE on my pages. I love them. If
you don't, feel free to e-mail me at uberskatah@aol.com and complain. I probably won't do
anything about it, but I like wasting people's time. However, if you do, their HTML codes are
"#0055FF" and "#6868D5", respectively. Anyways, I changed all of my font colours from boring
ol' white, to alternating blue and purple to liven it up.
April 2, 1999 the day you-know-who arose... and
i got a bunny
Today I got a bunny! Today I got a
bunny! Okay, 2 technically, but one is
ugly so who cares?! =P Anywhoo, I named the one -- drum roll please -- Dutchy! Of course.
How unexpected and yet somewhat fitting, seeing as how it's a Holland Dwarf. =) Oh, yah, and I
named the other Sergei, because one of my fave hockey players (I love hockey, btw) is Sergei
Federov. And don't ask me how to spell the guy's last name because I have no clue. I'm lucky if
I can spell my own.
Oh, yes... and I made and uploaded clips of the songs from New Kid in Town (I keep
wanting to call it New Kid on the Block!) and You Can't Fire Your Family. I
actually have the whole songs (as wavs) on my computer... so if you want them, just email me.
April 16, 1999 a day of mourning
If you can actually read the labels that I give each day, congrats. You have a good browser. For
the rest of you, it says "a day of mourning." Why, you ask? (Even if you didn't, so what? I'm
asking for you!) Well, my Pets episode now skips!!! Why me? Why it? Why... why am I
telling you?! Oh, yah. If anyone has that episode on tape, and is willing to copy it for me, I'd be
forever grateful (and willing to either trade for the items I have -- see the trading post -- or pay you)! Also, I'm
looking for Holidays, Music, and Superstitions. And Ivan's Pringles
commercial. I reeeee~~>eally want that! Oh, and I live in the USA, so, if you live in Australia or
England or someplace, I can't view your tapes. ::cries::
D'oh. I almost totally forgot about the "update" part of this... statement. I began writing out
the lyrics to the songs -- hard-to-understand or otherwise. Because my hard-to-understand songs
may be totally different from your hard-to-understand songs. And if I was only trying to help
myself learn the lyrics, I.... wouldn't need to be here. Because I know them. Which would mean
this whole lyric page was a waste of
time. (And I'd imagine you're thinking the same thing about reading today's log.... Okay, I'm
leaving already.)
April 20, 1999 the day i made a table of virtual
oak and another day of serious mourning
I am eating this li'l chocolate doggie thing I got for Easter as I type this. My stomach is starting
to hurt.... I just offered it to my mom (only about 1/4 eaten) and she felt my head and asked if I
was her daughter! I told her that if she wasn't my mother, that I wanted my chocolate doggie
back. She gave me this strange look and told me I was. I feel used.
Speaking of being used (gotta love my transitions), I used my knowledge (pfft) of HTML and
came up with a new concept -- tables. Okay, it's not new-new, but it's new for me. I've never
used tables before! (And stop that snickering! It's not that obvious, is it?) Anywhoo, I added
them to my Ivan Dudynsky main page, my Ivan
Dudynsky sounds page, and the top
of my Roundhouse links page. Go
me. I don't think they do much more than align the columns... which is a good thing. We don't
want any crooked columns, do we? Nooo....
Oh, yes. To the mourning part. You've all probably (assuming you're from the USA....)
heard about the Columbine High School Massacre (or
whatever they're calling it now...), right? Well, one of my bestest buddies goes there... and I still
don't know if she's okay! I think that could be part of my stomach's churning problem, not just
old chocolate. Pleeeease pray (or something!) for the people of Littleton! I hardly EVER pray,
and right now, my knees are bright red....
go to julie's homepage or learn about her.
April 24, 1999 a day of change... and
happiness
Today, I changed the title of this page to "Updates and Random Thoughts" because, as I read
over these supposed updates, I realized that there were more random comments/thoughts of
mine than mentions of updates. Whoops. I also realized something else -- this font hurts my
eyes! Ahh... much better. This is the font I used for my
non-underlined viewed links on my Roundhouse links page... which I just added links to
today, btw. Before it was just the generic format... stuff.
I also... Geez? What else did I do?? Oh! I rejoiced because a 3rd person filled out my
Roundhouse survey! Yaaaay. ::grins:: I really need a life. And you probably do to cuz you're
still reading this stupid log!! What can you do about it? GO GET ONE! But... waaaaait! Before
you do, take my survey!!
Please? I'd be waaaaay grateful.
Oh yah. And Julie is okay. ::extraordinarily relieved:: But 25 others are not....
April 25, 1999 a day of ... boredom
So early in the day. So much done so far. Boy, do I ever need a life. I could get one for a
penny, but, sadly, Emmie just sued me and forced me to split my only penny w/ her.... so I can't
afford a life. ::sigh:: Anyone willing to donate half a penny? Aww, c'mon! Do it for... Ivan! I'm
sure if he knew me, he'd want me to get a life and stop obsessing over him! Then again, maybe
he enjoys having crazy people like him. Who knows? Not me, that's for sure.
Okay, on to the updates. I actually put links up onto my Ivan links page. Sure, they're the same as
they are on the Roundhouse links
page, but there's only so many out there! Oh, and some of the ones on my Ivan links page have
pictures. Bet that page feels special. =P
April 27, 1999 a day of ... cool
stationary!
Dun, dun, dun. Okay, so, don't ask. =) I'm in a really weird,
happy mood -- which is surprising, cos lately I've been totally depressed. What's up with this?
::shrugs:: Anyways... the only thing I did with this page all day today was upload my picture. Go there if
you wanna see what I look like! Just be warned, my face does not always look that way. Well,
yah, it does... but it's not always in such an unusual state (expression)! Blame Emmie. It's *her*
fault. She was standing next to me making queer comments and we were laughing about them.
She was in the picture, but I cut her out.... a) she was making a weirder face and b) I didn't think
she'd want her picture on my page and I didn't feel like asking for permission.
To the
stationary part of the day! This awesome girl, Alana, who I met... Sunday the 25th, maybe... and
who just so happens to have the same b-day as me (May 1st! This Saturday! Yaaaah!) sold me
Sanrio stationary! I have none. Well, very little. (Whatever my friend Rebecca's sent me.) I
loooove Sanrio. Badtz Maru, Pochacco, and Pekkle are my faves... and poor Pekkle is
discontinued! ::sighs:: Ah, well. That's all I really have to say for today.
April 28, 1999 a day of ... sickness
Blah...blah...blah... Today was an all-around blah kinda day. I went to sleep last night at 2 am
(after watching "Deep Impact"), and woke up today at 6.... and when I did, I felt darn near like
crap. (Don't get me wrong, I've *never* asked crap what it feels like. And that poses a good
question. How do you think crap describes what it feels like on a bad day? Like heaven?
::shrugs::) Anywhoo, I stayed home from my classes... and off the computer. The only thing I
got accomplished was making this awesome (well, kinda) new "Ivan Dudynsky" graphic. Took me a couple of
minutes to select the fonts... I don't have very many cool and legible ones.
Oh, and have you noticed that this set of "rainbow" updates is all in pastels? I'm in a very
pastel-ish mood this week. Actually, I'm in more of a depressed mood... so just be glad I decided
to use rainbow colours when I was in a happy mood... cuz I'd be using camo/dark colours today if
I hadn't. Stupid Colorado shooting.... ::sighs:: I'm going now.
April 30, 1999 the day of before my
b-day
Hello again! The only thing I managed to get done today was, like, putting tables up on my
Roundhouse main page. Which was easy,
seeing as how, y'know, all I had to do was copy and paste from my Ivan main page. ::grins::
Okay, so I'm a cheater. I'm allowed to be! Tomorrow's my birthday! (Yah, that's a good excuse.
Wonder if my teachers will buy it...?)
May 1, 1999 the day of my birth
I am trying to think of what to type, while trying to find my shoes for the formal dance tonight at
my school. Blah. I soooo do not want to go, but I don't not want to go. You know? Not
like I have anything better to do on my birthday.... Anywhoo, I will take a couple of pix and post
them on my page. I'm in need of a new one of me, and I'll never ever be caught in a
dress again. Even when I'm dead. I'm leaving specific instructions in my will that I'm to be
buried in khaki cargo pants.
Anyways, after searching many a minute (all of ... 5?) I found a link to the "Producer Sez"
page to Jim Carrey's BIOrhythm, which Ivan co-produced... so, therefore, he "sez" what is on the
page. I put it up on my Ivan links
page.
May 14, 1999 the day of strange
happenings
Guess what I did today? ::waits a couple of minutes to let people guess:: Well, since no one got
it, I came up w/ a "cool" name for my Roundhouse webpage... rather than "Skater's Roundhouse
Website." It's now the "Roundhouse House." Pretty queer, I know... and like I said, feel free to
send me any and all complaints you may have. It's getting to be summer... time to go camping.
You can never have too many flames to cook s'mores on. Or sore thumbs, mt. pies... oh... I'm
making myself hungry. I'm gonna change the subject now. (Yes, I *do* have the power to do
that. Go me.) As I was saying, I also created a logo. Plain, simple... yet somewhat... cool. I
think. I made it, so the fact I like it isn't saying much. See it for yourselves here. Tell me what you
think.
Today I also discovered I only have 200K left on my GeoCities account. Um.... that
can't be good. I need to get another account someplace. Are there any free unlimited space
places?? I hope so. Well, that's it for now. Bye-bye.
May 17, 1999 the day of loss
Well, today my dad decided to get rid of my AOL account. Well, at first (yesterday) he decided
to do that. I guess now I've talked him into only uninstalling it from the computer so I can
secretly check my e-mail at my friend Jen's house. Although if you have any comments (etc) to
send me, don't send them to uberskatah@aol.com... send them to newsies@xfilesfan.com cuz I
can check that from anywhere.
I also found out that my friend Laura is almost done making me copies of all the
Roundhouse episodes! ::faints:: Oh happy day. I guess that'll give me something to do (copy)
when I'm not allowed on the computer. BLAH!
Updates. Right. I'm getting there. I was looking through my friend Shauna's boyfriend's
homepage... and I stumbled upon some pics of him. In one of them, he looks EXACTLY (well,
maybe not *that* much, but darn close) like Mark David in Roundhouse. Hehe. If you want to
see his pic, go here. And if you *are*
Josh and you want your pic down, let me know! Though I'd be kinda honoured (were I a guy) to
be thought of as resembling Mark David. So... my update for the day is uploading that picture.
Yah, go me. Really workin' my butt off....
May 31, 1999 memorial day
Well, hey everyone! I *have* been updating sporadically during the past 2 weeks... but I figured
it wasn't all worth posting on this page. All it was was new graphics and stuff. Today I made the
"updates and some random thoughts" one at the top, so I figure now is as good of a time as any
to mention my "accomplishments." So... they have been mentioned.
Also, tomorrow, I'd like to say that the seniors of the Class of '99 (at my school)
GRADUATE! Yaaay to them! Unfortunately, that includes ::happy, yet sad, sigh:: Marty. Who
I'll probably never see again. Also, my friends Matt, Andy, and Megan are leaving too, but I'll
hopefully at least HEAR from them again. ::cries:: But I'll miss 'em! Oh well....
June 27, 1999 a day much later than the one
last listed
Sheesh! It's been a long time since I last wrote down my updates! Whoops. I did a few random
things, but nothing too big until I made a new banner for my Ivan site. I also renamed
it. And I made the Roundhouse House's banner about... two weeks ago and
forgot to mention it. Anyways, I like the RHH banner, but I don't like the name of the Ivan site,
so I don't like the banner. However, I can't think of anything better! What'd I call it, you ask?
Well, I came up w/ the name "Livan Your Life!!" And yes, liven is spelled wrong PURPOSELY,
thank you. I can spell. =) It's meant to have Ivan's name in it......Hey, it's the only way I could
associate the title with "da man." hehe
Did you guys catch Roundhouse on NICK yesterday?! I did! (Duh.) Ivan looked soooo
good. I had to ask my brother to scrape me up off the floor and then I had to sop up the puddles
of drool when the show was over!! I'm talkin' about "War and Peace" here... where Ivan was an
AnyKid. Don't get me wrong, he looked cute in "New Kid in Town" but I've seen that ep sooo
many times that I don't even need a TV/VCR to watch it anymore! I can just close my eyes and
watch it in my head! =P
July 17, 1999 a day of discovery
Hey. Wow. You guys are helpful! I went three months thinking that EVERYONE saw my page's background as black, like I did. I find out today that, as it turns out, almost everyone (but me!) sees it as WHITE! Ahhh.... Why didn't you people tell me EARLIER?! ::sniff:: Ahh well. At least I fixed the problem now. I also *made* a background (rather than a stupid shade of black). I took the RHH logo and embossed it (with, um, Professor Franklin's Instant Photo Effects) and then I darkened it and increased the contrast and BOOM! The background logo (as seen on this page) *almost* matches the background of my graphics. See, dummy me started out making the backgrounds of pics this weird shade of blue-black and had to make a background to match. (I guess the pic only loaded for me! hehe.) But now the pic loads for others and it matches too! Yaay! ::grins::
August 6, 1999 a day of additions
Well, today I did a LOT of updating, let me tell you! I spent about....4 hours adding (to L*ivan* Your Life!!) more Ivan sounds, pics of Ivan from Making of Newsies, pics of Ivan's Pringles commercial, (to Roundhouse House) pics (finally), sounds, and the b4nafter page. I actually added the sounds page,too, but it's nothing special...yet. It will be one day! ::has great dreams for her little website:: Oh, yah...and I've done a lot of updating in the past 3 weeks, I've just been too lazy to go look up the colour codes for this dark blue. And today I finally decided it was now or not now...and I chose now. =)
September 15, 1999 a day of uploading
Heya. Today I stayed home from school -- I felt like CRAP at 6:30 when I woke up (I felt worse when I went to sleep at 10 the night before....and you *know* I'm sick when I go to bed when it's still considered "pm"). I slept til 10:30, and then couldn't fall back asleep. So I watched Widescreen Newsies (wooo) and worked on homework that's due tomorrow. When I was done, I came online and worked on the page! And guess what I did!? UPLOADED! That's about it. I added more pictures to the Before And After page. Fun, fun.
Oh!! On, um, August 31 I added about 15 sounds to the Sounds page, which now has its own domain (cos I plan to make a ton and I need the space). I didn't list those here because, well, I'm lazy. =)
September 30, 1999 to October 31, 1999 a day of updates
I'm lazy. I admit it. And I'm sorry. But I haven't updated this page (I've been listing all updates on the main page) because I was too lazy to go find a colour for the text. =| But today (11/7), dying of boredom, I did. Happy day.
