Well done, me!

I feel like today was a computer-y kind of day. Well, I guess most days are kind of computer-y in this day and age (especially if, er... you spend a lot of time on lj), but today was especially so. Firstly, I was playing around with my layout this morning, and I think I finally got it where I want it. I've been wanting a change for awhile - loved my header and my colour sceme, but the borders and sidebars and lack of visible tags were starting to bug me. And finally (after much searching and subsequent CSS tweaking: [find and replace, find and replace, find and replace]) I have this! And I'm quite happy with it. *pets* I also found a mood theme that I like, with both Nine and Ten Doctor Whos (and Rose - duh). Yay!

*hugs lj*

Also today was class registration! How fun! That is, if you like fiddling around with the Dal Online Registration website for hours, just TRYING to choose the classes you want. Harumph! But -- finally got my fall classes and even most of the winter ones sorted out. Looks good! English with Modern Criticism and The Romantics and Shakespeare, and History with the Rise of Rome. Even taking a Classical Mythology class as an elective. Whee!!!
(Yes, total nerd, I know.)

AND yesterday I got my new printer! It's very pretty - a Canon PiXMA MP160. Look!



And it even prints really good quality photos! Like this:


So, it hasn't gotten much use yet, but I'm sure it will once the school year begins.

Ooh - made a few Blink icons the other day. Still probably my favourite episode of the season - just so fantastically written and acted and the pacing is FABULOUS and, sure the Doctor isn't in it much - but he does manage to come up with "timey-wimey" in a few short minutes so it's totally worth it - and I love Sparrow and Nightingale and GUH! Still, I'm REALLY looking forward to the next ep. Because - DID YOU SEE HOW THE SOUND OF DRUMS ENDED! But on to the icons. ;)

( Learned to stay away from hens, though. It's not pretty when they blow. )

So, that took up most of my day, and then I went to work! Ooh - and bought tickets to the Fire works boat cruise we're doing on Canada Day. Exciting - I did a lot today, didn't I? ;) Still haven't gone grocery shopping though, and I just ate my last box of Kraft Dinner, so you know it's getting desperate. Guess I'll just have to keep up this productive streak a bit longer.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers by J.R.R Tolkien. Decided to re-read the LoTR trilogy this summer, but it's er... not going quickly. I've kind of trailed off around the Dead Marshes section. But I'm not giving up yet!

Suddenly Gandalf laughed. 'But what would they say in song? Those who looked from afar thought that the mountain was crowned with storm. Thunder they heard, and lightning, they said, smote upon Celebdil, and leaped back broken into tongues of fire. Is not that enough? A great smoke rose about us, vapour and steam. Ice fell like rain. I threw down my enemy, and he fell from the high place and broke the mountain-side where he smote it to his ruin. Then darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell.'

And I tag:
