So I got today as well as yesterday off from school. Thank goodness. I’m not sure if I could have handled going to school the entire week. All my teachers were trying to make me do actual work and learn stuff. Pffft. Who do they think they are?

I redesigned Under My Thumb today. The blue color of the last layout was starting to make me puke, so I’m glad I can stomach this new layout. I also added 1 new wallpaper today. And that’s about it for site updates.

Oh, and I’m about to do a plug. I never do plugs, because I find them self-serving in nature, but it’s for a fansite, and I figured it wouldn’t qualify as one. But anywho, I just love Dullsville. This site just makes me laugh!

New layout! New layout! New layout! This is version 50, which just proves that I have wayyyyyy tooooo much time on my hands. Well, here’s to “Shakira Reprise.” Whooooopeeeeee. I haven’t really done anything else today besides this new layout. I have been praying awfully hard for snow. Tomorrow at school won’t be so bad, but a snow day would sure be nice.

My father was on the 6:00 news this evening. He was interviewed because he’s the treasurer of the Band Boosters (for my marching band), and it’s making news now that my band’s trip to Chicago has been cancelled. They even went to my friend Julianne’s house and interviewed her as well. I taped it and everything. And there were like a billion stories on before hand, and I kept shouting “Who cares?” My parents thought it was pretty funny.

I plan on phoning the sprinkle company tomorrow, as I have been working hard on this layout today. I will give you an update on what the comment hotline tells me. But for the time being I will just have to be satisfied with my boring multi-colored sprinkles. No blue. No purple. No indigo. No joy.

So I tried to phone the company that made the sprinkles. They had a number on the sprinkle package for customer comments. When I called I got their machine which gave me some crap about not being able to take my call because it wasn’t “office hours.” Pffffffttttt. I know what really happened. They saw my name on the caller id and put the machine on so they wouldn’t have to own up to the complete mistake they made in naming their product. Well, I’ll call later this week during their “office hours.” I’m not letting them get away with this. They will pay.

I added new members to More Hunk, Neon, and Turn Me On.

So I was making some sugar cookies last night. And I decided to decorate them with some frosting and sprinkles. As I was sprinkling the “rainbow sprinkles” onto the frosting, I noticed that the only colors in the mix were white, yellow, orange, red, pink, and green. That hardly qualifies as a rainbow. Maybe it could fit into the multi-color category, but never rainbow. I was pretty upset to find the sprinkle company so misleading about the contents of their product. I should write an angry letter.

Well, I just added some new wallpapers to Under My Thumb, and I’m off to do a whole lotta work on The Buffy Bash.

Well, I got a good response about the DVD thing. I agree about Seinfeld, Roswell, Growing Pains, MTV Cribs, & Saved by the Bell. Melrose Place? What-ever. Sorry Auntie Penny, but I was never an MP fan.

I was just watching the beginning of “Are You Hot?” a show whose core concept baffles me to begin with. And then when they announced the people for the semi-finals, the host was like “Congratulations, you’re hot!” or “I’m sorry, you’re not hot enough.” And during the interviews they would write “not hot enough” under the people who didn’t advance. Ahahahahaha. I’m sorry, but you’re just not hot enough!

So Trista picked Ryan and Evan picked Zora. Why can’t the girls on these shows ever have normal names? Trista, Zora, Helene, Heidi (ick!). And I thought my name was weird. Well, it used to be very rare to be named Emma, and somebody thought it was cool and now all the new little girls (and some boys… *snicker*…) are being named Emma. When I’m a mother and I’m driving all my daughter\son’s friends around, they’re all going to be named Emma and I will get very, very confused.

Random stuff….. I have somewhat sensitive teeth. I try to drink something ice cold or have a hot soup, and it’s all bad. So straws are my friends. And we had been out of straws for quite some time. To my surprise I came home today to find like a billion straws in the cabinet. No more dental pain. Thank you mom!

I’ve been thinking lately about things that should come out on DVD, and I’ve compiled a small list.

1. Daria: the entire series. How I miss this show. The sarcasm. The wit. Jane. Also, the Daria movies should come out on DVD as well.

2. MTV Movie Awards. Maybe they could put them in 2-year package deals or something. I would love to rewatch some of the older shows.

3. 2gether: the entire series. The movie is already out on the DVD, but the show was just as good. And my tapes of them are loosing their quality quick.

4. The Daily Show. ‘Nough said.

5. Three’s Company. John Ritter was awesome on Three’s Company. Not to mention that he was a chef!

6. The Bachelor. Yes, I’m aware of the meaningless reality TV show crap that is The Bachelor, but I completely missed the first season and am desperate to see it!

7. Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century. Some of the Disney Channel original movies have come out on video and stuff, but they should release both Zenon movies on DVD. ‘Cause it’s Zenon!

8. Late Night w/ Conan O’Brien. Conan is the best! I crack up watching his reruns on Comedy Central.

9. Cooking School Stories. As previously mentioned, I would love for this series to come out on DVD, so I can get familiar with all my future teachers at Johnson & Wales.

I can’t really come up with a tenth, but I think 9 is a better number anyways. Want something else to come out on DVD? Leave a comment.

Whew. I’ve been updating all afternoon. I updated Neon, Turn Me On, and Official LR like I said I would. I never got around to updating Crush, but I will do that soon. And there were no new members to add to More Hunk, so I didn’t update that either. Whew.

How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days was adorable! I was laughing through the entire thing. So if you’re trying to find a good movie to see, How To… will not disappoint. The only other movie I had ever seen Kate Hudson in before was Gossip, which I didn’t really like that much, so it was good to see her in a different role. And Matthew McConaughey was charming as usual. But it was kind of odd to see Michael Michele in the movie. The role wasn’t really below her or anything, it just not really her genre.

So, a little update on the whole weight loss thing. Not sure if any of you were wondering, but I did get quite a few comments on that one, so I thought I’d give you a little progress report. So far I have lost 6 pounds. Yay for me!

I watched The Music Man last night, which just reaffirmed my love for Matthew Broderick. But it was kind of interesting the way they laid out the scenes. Like the part when he was in the ice cream shop and got the school board guys to start singing together. In the original it took place at night, outdoors, in some garden. They took some of the lines and gave them to different people, trying to cut down on extras, which I can understand. But Victor Garber did an excellent job, and I was very impressed with Molly Shannon.

I don’t really have anything of note to blog about, but I get really annoyed when the people I visit don’t blog very often, so I thought I’d hold up my end of the bargain. I have Monday off from school. Yay! I think I’m probably going to go see a movie today with my friend Sarah. I want to see How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days, because my brother thought it was good. And if my brother thought it was good, it must really be good. Must call Sarah sometime today to arrange that.

You might notice that I’ve added some new dailies in the left column. Even some boys! But when I redesign this site, which will be pretty soon, I’m nixing dailies altogether and just have a really big links page, so enjoy the free hits while you have ‘em. I also joined Tiffany’s exchange, because it’s kind of a neat idea. And her and I are the only members so far, so go join so she doesn’t have to close it!

As for site updates, I added 4 new wallpapers to Under My Thumb last night. Some of them are actually pretty good! Haha. I plan to update Crush, Neon, Official Leonard Roberts, Turn Me On, and More Hunk tomorrow. Those should all be nice and quick updates, so I’m pretty sure I can get that done. Well, I’m off!

I’ve been feeling a little abandoned\lonely\whatever about the internet lately. I’ve just sent some friendly little emails to some people who have not replied. It’s like regular mail. I get pretty angry when people don’t write back.

And I’m getting a little sick of my dailies. No offense, but I visit the same sites every day. I just need some new blood. And they’re all girls. So if you’re a boy, or just have a cool weblog, comment on this post and leave your URL. This is me officially reaching out. I want to visit new people.

And if you just want to chat, email me: smileforemma@hotmail.com. I will most definetely write back. Email me about anything. I mean it. I’d love to talk to you.

Maybe you can tell that I’m a little on the bored side today. They cancelled school for snow again. I felt so lazy. I can’t wait to go to school tomorrow. I made a big update to Crush today as a result of the boredom.
