It’s an eventful evening! My half-sister, Ritah Parrish, is flying in tonight. I haven’t seen her since I was maybe 9 or 10. This is incredibly exciting, for sure. She lives in Oregon and does acting in independent films as well as standup in the Portland, OR area. Her latest is Addison’s Wall — it’s available from Netflix. Cooool. :)
It’s funny how much and how little time does. Back when I was so young, I would sing Weather Channel songs and try to deny it. Now, some 12 years later, it doesn’t seem like much has changed. ;)
I’ve also been busy making some fixes to the site template (search results aren’t fugly anymore) and adding some content in some places and “under construction” bumpers in others. It’s very exciting to have a new look to mess with. Thinking about it, this is the first real major revamp of the look since a year and a half ago. Exciting stuff. The initial feedback is very positive. :)
By the way, if you use IE and launch something from one of the menus, when you move your mouse away, it looks like the page stops loading. This is because in order for older IEs to display the menus properly, it has to invoke JavaScript on mouse over and mouse out. Since the script runs on those events, it appears to abort page load by stopping the loading animation. Fear not — it’s still loading. Just give it time.
Going back to class and work tomorrow is going to be a drag. What’s amazing is that there’s one more left in the semester, and that’s it for this academic year. Scary!
Anyway, we’re off to KCHS to pick her up. Catch you all tomorrow!
