shopping!; alias soundtrack!; ttt:ee!

[amezri]

Very productive and expensive shopping trip. Met thebigfatman at the mall and we shopped. Well, okay, I shopped. We hit some of the fun stores like the discovery channel store and As Seen on TV. OMG, while we were there, I got pr0n spam on my phone! XD So I've now changed my settings so only people on my buddy list can IM my phone SN. Quick stop for sushi halfway through and we hit Best Buy and I got the Two Towers Extanded Edtion gift set and the Alias soundtrack. Both at decent savings. Score! Hit another store and got a kick-ass pleather long coat for $15 :D

After the mall I went to deposit some money in my poor account and then went to Target to get some travel stuffs. And track pants. Really nice Prospirit track pants for $12 - and there are pockets! Got another pair of Mossimo track pants for $9. Also found a black skinny scarf (eee!), a cuff hat, and another hat. Uhm.. Yes, I do need them. Really.

After that detour, I hit the new B&N to see if the manager was there so I can let him know when I'd be able to start. Then I picked up the December issue of Premiere magazine withe the Hobbits on the front! :D

Good day basically. Wheee!

Until I came home and found out my father was still here. And my insurance bill came. [facepalm]

Can't win 'em all...

The Alias soundtrack kicks ass, by the by. Everyone should go out and buy it because Michael Giacchino's score is the kick. Get eeeeet!

Hiya! yeah, I went to dinner and forgot to put up an away message. Sorry about that :-/

Just tell me what picture(s) you want to use and any text you'd want on it. I'll try to get it done before I leave on my trip.

Hi. This is very random, but I came across your journal, and was wondering how you did the layout that you have. I really want to create a "left section" for my journal where I can list books I am reading/CDs I am listening to, etc., but I am HTML-stupid and can't find anything helpful in lj_designers. So I hope you don't mind that I am asking you...What override did you use for it? I have a paid account...Thank you...if you could help that would be super-awesome.

I didn't use an override. All of my layouts are created from scratch, mostly handcoded.

Here are some tutorials to help you out. If you need information on anything more specific, a Google search can find you lots more information.

The person asking about your layout made me curious enough to check out what your LJ currently looks like. Hey, I'm listed as a "known accomplice"! Yay!

[amezri.livejournal.com]

Yes you are! ^_^

And I love your icon :D

Hah, thanks! Got it from darthmaligna a while back and just now got around to using it...
