Moving in

I’ve been slowly moving in to my apartment, I’ve got a sort of a desk established (No computer-type chair yet though) I’ve gotten a few cleaning supplies, though not yet enough to sufficiently clean counter-tops, etc.. Hopefully that will be taken care of tomorrow. I’m still staying at Dan & Lori’s house, for the moment. Once I get better established, I’ll have some pictures for y’all to look at.

College has been going allright. But today, I got there in time for my 9am class, and realized I had lost my bike lock key.. I had to bike all the way back to my truck (about 20 blocks) and drive another 5-6 miles to get my spare key, then back to downtown to feed a meter and barely make it to my 10am class on time. Missing class during the first week is some pretty bad karma, I hear.

Go Vikes, Go Twins!!

UO WoW, blah.

Well, if you haven’t heard already, I’ve been approved for the apartment I was looking at. I just have to get an apointment and go sign the lease. Then hopefully I can move in this weekend or early next week.

Week of Welcome (dis-orientation programs at UO) began today. Got my ID card, registered my bike, got info on lots of stuff, and info about the transfer interest group I want to register for. I get to do the registering tomorrow. Now all thats left is getting a job, and getting through the school year….. ugh.

soooo tired….. zzzzzz good night.

I went to “Good Times” bar again last Sunday to watch the Vikes kill the Lions, bringing the Vikings’ record to 3-0 now! Dante Culpepper (Vikings QB) left the game in the middle because of a bruised back.. I read the following about it in the paper today:

“Do I look hurt?” Culpepper asked as he limped away from Minnesota’s locker room. “I thought I looked cool, like Fred Sanford.”

In unrelated and more self-important news.. I’ve been working really hard the last few days to completely rewrite my site again, this time using structural XHTML, and slightly flashier CSS (albiet with the same layout). The new iteration of my site should be fully accessable to visual browsers, as well as text browsers and screen readers. I don’t expect many blind visitors to my site, but if I become blind tomorrow, I’ll still be able to enjoy my website. Anyways… you can see the results thus far here, and please (someone, anyone) let me know what you think!!

Relating to this last point, and my previous entry.. I bougt yet another book. This time it’s a CSS reference book.. read more to find out about it (and a brief review of the Zeldman’s book).
