I love the Short Circuit movies. Watching Johnny Five on his zealous quest for input is hysterical. I’ve actually been to the World’s Biggest Bookstore featured in the second movie. It’s in Toronto, not New York, and it is pretty big. It has all the charm of a supermarket. Anyhoo, I am constantly searching out new stuff for my blog and of course looking for new blogs to read and keep me entertained. I made a few changes to my sidebar today. First, in the interest of neatness, I moved Macoosh’s link to the top of my blogs section. Since it’s different from the regular text links, I just think it looks better if it’s not in the middle. Also, in my Stuff I’ve Mentioned section, I moved the clock out above it. I put the two bolded links at the top, to make them even easier to find. And since AJ asked me for a little technical help on a couple of her links, I thought the best way to figure it out was to play around with it on my blog. I got her issue figured out, and since her new links are so different and stand out so well, I put them together at the bottom of the links section. While I was at it, I also stole a cute little thing from her sidebar to use in mine - it’s below the calendar.

In one of my emails to her today, I had to be funny and rework a quote from a movie into one of my own. I’ve also put that at the bottom of my sidebar. I love that my sidebar keeps getting longer and longer. I’m also trying my hardest not to have a bunch of irrelevant crap on it like some blogs do (no one that I know, though). And my biggest accomplishment, I think, is that the sidebar is next to the actual posts, not way far down at the bottom of the page. Knowing a thing or 2 about the size of stuff helps, because if you put something too wide in your posts, then it pushes the sidebar down like that. It drives me nuts when I have to scroll waaaaay down to see someone’s sidebar.

I stayed at work nearly an hour late tonite because I was cleaning out some file cabinets that were basically the equivalent of junk drawers. Now it’s so neat everyone will be afraid to touch it, which is the way I like it. It won’t get messed up again.

I do have a huge list of things I want to get done around the house this weekend, plus other computer-related pursuits like cleaning up and re-organizing my bookmarks. And of course I have a huge list of websites I want to check out and see if they’re any good. We’ll see how much of that I actually get done. Right now, I’m just gonna sit in front of the tube.
