Why yes, yes I did. :D

I decided to separate Nothing but Song, right down the middle.

Nothing but Song: main site, strictly content/splash stuff. All the pages that were here? Scooted them over.

3: still my muxtape. Which was updated with songs by Five for this week. That’s funny. I’ve been obsessed with five lately, as you can see by my mixtape (down below).

blog: you’re here! Or reading it, in the very least. It’s strictly a blog now. I felt all the bells and whistles were getting to be a pain. I think it’s because the themes I were finding were so gorgeous, but it just wasn’t very “me” if that makes sense. This theme, which I’ve dubbed “The Fallen” like the Franz Ferdinand song, I just copied the files for the classic theme and then slapped some decent CSS on it to make it purty. I like how it looks. Uber stripped down.

clique: still the same.

creative: still the same.

directory: still the same.

fan: yeah, I decided to get back into fanlistings. I’m approved for 3 now, Victoria Asher, the Ghosts and Revolution in Me albums by Siobhan Donaghy.

heaven: still the same.

ost: still the same.

writing: I’m always opening and closing my writing portfolio. I dunno why. I think it’s because in its previous incarnations, I thought that more was better. But I’ve learned my lesson. Less is better. So whatever pieces I had up on Nothing but Song before, I moved them over to it. I also renamed it “On My Own Time [Write On!]“, because that is my favourite Gym Class Heroes song ever. It’s always spoken to me, lyrics-wise.

I was trying to figure out how to strip down WP admin pages as well. There’s a lot of stuff that I could do without, but I’m not sure how to get rid of it all. I saw a plugin, but then I saw a post that said you can do it without the plugin. Alls I know is I’m confuzzled. So I’m gonna do a bit more research and see what I can do. Because I will always remain loyal to WP. But I wish it was “lighter,” in terms of what I want it to do.

My mom’s in town this week, yay! We went out to dinner at Chili’s. A new one opened up in our ‘hood. And my sister started ragging on everybody again, since that’s what she does when we’re all together like that. Then, when her daughters excused themselves after we ate to use the bathroom my dad politely scolded us for talking about adult things in front of them. I wasn’t the one that started it, but he had a point.

I also made the mistake of telling my sister that our cousin was going to pay me to dog sit this weekend for her since she’s leaving town for a spell. She got extremely offended, and spent the rest of the dinner and the drive home sniping at me about the money. I guess our cousin asked her to do it first, but hadn’t mentioned reimbursement or something. So my Ate said no for whatever reason.

Then our cousin turned around and asked me and offered to pay. I took a day or so to decide, because I wasn’t sure I wanted the responsibility. But then I said to myself I could consider it a mini-vacation, since she said I could stay in the house. So I accepted. But my cousin just texted me and said it was OK that I told her.

I’m looking forward to it. Gas is gonna be a pain since my cousin lives on the other side of town, but I don’t mind. It’ll be nice to get out of the house for a few days, even though technically I’ll still be working during the day, and will have to adjust my sleeping schedule because of it. I’m gonna bring my Indiana Jones DVDs, buy some food at Wal-Mart, play with the dogs, and chill. She has the interwebz, so I’ll still be around in that sense.

Anyways, I just wanted to let you know. :D
